Abortion? Think twice.

-looks around-

This place is so dead. -shakes head-

Since nobody's blogging, let me be the 'wei da' one ba. ~LoLx (My exams are also coming kies.)

So, if you guys happen to have time, since you all are not blogging anyway, you go click here.

Yes, the webby has something to do with my title (obviously duh~). There are 5 videos in total, and 'enjoy' watching.

This whole thing is about abortion process and it sure is disturbing. (to me anyway)

So yea, short post but better than nothing. =)

Nature Farm

Thanks for shooting me down. Alright, about the documentary, I'm sure you know enough from what the others have posted so I won't repeat that part. I feel that if such an experiment could show if what we end us as is a result of nature or nurture. Then why hasn't something like this been tried before? The amount of possibilities that are cannot be controlled by humans are countless, nothing can be kept in perfectly exact, perfectly controlled situations.

Also, the series attempts to track them through till the 25 of them are 20. Won't they feel strange? Being kept track of, like some test subject (Which they are). And then, after the experiment, lets say if the experiment does come to pass and succeed? How can they prove that the future of a person is nutured or pre-destinied by nature? If the answer is nature, then the test would have been a rather big waste of resources, as in the setting up and all. However, if the results are nurture. What then?

Will there be specially planned schools and institutes equipped with "cradle to grave" programmes to allow the future generations to achieve the life they want? The decisions they make based on thier own pretinkered judgement, can it possibly be controlled? Now I'm not putting down Singapore TV, but if such a documentary were have to been shot, Singapore would not get it as soon as it were avaliable. Such big news would have made it on medical, social and every other journal worldwide (if proven)

Is this is beginning of the end of free-will as we know it if proven "nuture"? Or will it be the perfect excuse for the lows of life? (I was born that way) As for me, I still believe in neither. I believe we all have a destiny, a final ending situation. But, what we decide to do on the way there is up to us, and what we do on the way affects how we end up. But only one destiny is assured for all, and that is death.

There is also another thing I do know. That humans, all humans by nature are evil. From a young age without being taught, we instinctively apply violence, lie and cheat, to get the best for ourselves. "Don't you feel as fufilled as I am when you are engaged in a fight?" A quote from EW. It is in human nature to have the urge to succeed and be recognised by others. But when everyone seeks this actively, conflict is bound to occur, so indirectly I can say safely, it is in human nature to fight, to struggle and sometimes to overcome.

Sorry if this post was abit over my 7 days, I keep forgetting ^_^U So sorry.

What I've been up to recently...

So my post is a little over-due, but I guess late is better than never right?

Ah so what exactly have I been up to recently? Besides going to school, surfing net, watching tv, spacing out whenever I can, I found some online stories. -grins-

www.siukai.per.sg

This is written by a Singaporean (kinda obvious right due to the .per.sg). Most of the stories are real, like his own or his friends and perhaps it's because it is actually quite easy to relate to that's why I find it to be enjoyable. Good for some light reading when you're bored. =) Besides stories, there are a lot of stuffs that the author has that are actually quite interesting. Like his articles, which has like "The art of dating" and related stuff, so guys might find it a good read! ^^ I find it quite funny actually. ~LoLx

So I just found another website that has quite a few love stories.

http://www.lovefatedestiny.com/Lovestories.htm

Hmmx, the site that I had just given is for sad love stories. just navigate yourself kies. Hope you guys will enjoy reading~

Btw, "Charlie and the Chocolate factory" is great!! I especially love it when they sing and dance. So cute and funny! haha. And the chocolate, wow. I'm a chocolate addict lor. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water. heex.

24 to 26 August!

The documentary will be shown from 24th to 26th august at 10 p.m. Please remember to watch it. Lol~ I am starting to make it sound like homework. Faust said that the documentary would not show anything. Then why the hell they make a documentary out of it?! Anyway, it is going to be very interesting. It falls on the day I start my Exams though. Having two thoughts on whether to watch or study. Just remember. 24 to 26th August 10 p.m.

I was thinking how the 25 babies experimented on would be like. I also thought about how they were going to keep the factors constant so it would be a fair experiment. By making sure that every breakfast, lunch and dinner they eat the same amount and kind of food? Even if they have kept it constant, how would they ensure that the children would not sneak a snack or something?

Sending them to the same school and provide them the same education is easy. However, how do they know that the information they absorb will be the same? So many questions and no answer. Looks like I'll have to watch the show before I start making stupid assumptions again. Dang! Exams!

What are all of your views?

Before I leave, let me compose another haiku.

Twenty five babies,
Given the same kind of love.
What will they become?

my life

yes i know that i've been very inactive. haha. alright i shall contribute one entry.

oops.. wrong title. if you've been reading my blog recently, you'll know that i seldom blog about my slow, sad, boring and meaningless life. i don't wish to bore my readers to death by 'forcing' them to read about my slow, sad, boring and meaningless life.

well life is gorgeous actually, but i just happen to view it from a very ugly perspective. no don't worry, i won't commit suicide or something. i'm not even feeling sad. i just feel that my life is plain and uneventful. i live my life like a machine - doing the same things everyday. yes occasionally i get some breaks to go out with my friends, but after all these outing, i reach home feeling so empty inside me. what the hell is wrong with me i wonder?

theoretically, i'm a very simple person. simple as in, i am satisfied and contented with many simple things in life. every little simple thing can make me happy. even smelling the fragrance of flowers can brighten up my day like a sun shining into an asshole so that even the shit glow.

well, i'm getting sick of such systematic life.. i want some new things. a girlfriend maybe? lol.

my life is basically splitted into two. the real life and cyber life. the real life is all about going out to the same old places in the small island in singapore and in the cyber life.. you see me sitting in front of the computer chatting with the same group of people.. helping the same few people for the same few problems.

what do i really want now? i'm just typing whatever crap that's flashing in my mind. i wonder if what i typed has even made any sense. hmm..

um.. also.. just pretend that my 'shift' key does not work when i try to capitalise letters.

Nature Or Nurture?

I have been watching Central for a few nights because of Inuyasha and Shaman King. But that is not what I am gonna talk about today. They have been showing some cuts on some documentary that they are going to show. I am particularly interested in it.

The documentary is about 20 babies, right from the day they were born, they are brought up the same way.( I think it is...) Then the show go about telling twenty years later, what they become is due to the nurture they have gotten or nature...

It is like a most mystifying experiment ever! I really wonder. What makes us who we are today. Nature or nuture? It really is mind boggling isn't it? I can't remember when the documentary is showing. I'll update you guys on it soon. Please watch it so we can discuss about it if everyone knows what I am talking about.

O.o...Tired...s0Re L3gS...

Wow... the outing is fun....only 3 letters can describe every thing...LOL....haha... quite crappy... singapore's 40 years old... if thats a human being, it would be the end of his active age and leading to his prime age.... well, got to say Faust is rite as we cannot turn back time at all, but we can do one thing, recall. we can recall what we did before, either by remembering it or due to some other causes. actually, did you reliase that if you were to listen to a music you heard before when you were experiencing something, your body records the song to the emotions, feelings and the memories with it. so its like as if your mind function as a VCR to record everything, but you will not reliase it at all till you heard the song again, the others come flow along it like water... thats explains why some people cry when they listen to some songs or they went beserk.... Every one does not wants to have bad memories, but do you know that the more you ask yourself 2 4get, the more your mind will remember??? Last but not lease;

National Day around my neighbourhood

Since I can't go watch fireworks with the other community peeps, I might as well blog. (Not because I don't want to go, but I've got things on. Like blogging. oh yea. -rolls eyes-)

So anyway, National Day ma. So I decide to make this a National post lor but posting some pics. Can lar hor. lolx.

On my way to the lift, I saw this.

If you looked closely, you would see all the creases. You would think they would iron them before hanging them out?? *dots

Kies, I think that's about it. Hope you guys enjoyed your National Day! I sure did by catching up with my sleep. =D

National Day

Let me help everoyn to post, HAPPY NATIONAL DAY Singapore! Extending out from your valued Admins to all readers and our dear members :) Yes haha it is Singapore's 40th birthday (as if you all dont know) Looking forward to meeting everyone tonight. Lets make it a good one, first meeting :)

I recently picked this phrase up from one of my friend's blogs. "Why do parents all tell us we are unique and special when we are young but want us to be like everyone else when we grow older?" Strange right? Haha, I guess the part about "being like everyone else" is to be NORMAL bah~ guess that applies to us teens :) Then again, if all parents say this then what is normal?

Is a straight As student normal? Or would a delinquent be condsidered normal in Singapore context? Kind of boggling now that you give it some serious thought eh? When we are young, all we want to do is grow up quickly so we can do this and that like all the older people can. When we grow up (not really, maybe at this age) sometimes, we wish we were younger, when day to day life did not contain so much stress, pressure and expectations.

We can't turn back time so what do we do? Many choose the simplest way with the least effect on the life are already living. Delving deep into various fantasy worlds, through various mediums like books, games or shows. Now when I say fantasy it need not be something that it totally way out like dragons and magic~ I mean fiction, that is realistic, you know? The ideal worlds people (especially girls) love to dream up? (no offence meant to anyone) It's these small things that makes the gruelling task of ploughing through day to day life bearable.

Before I go (got to get everything spiffy for the meeting) a haiku (on Ah^Wei's request) for NAtional Day!

Today is the 9th
After 40 years of strife
We celebrate life.

Aww crappish~ =.= haha made that up in about 40+ seconds, off now, bye!

What is going on in my mind for the past few days

well, i have not updated for so long due to some IE problem... so ill have to make it up for it now....

I wonder how many people collects model kits? people i know only watch but does not collect them.... except for a few who buys like crazy... i enjoy the building of it but 1 important thing... its not a toy... so parents please dont buy it for your kids and after complain its not pre-made...(if you want pre-made please go get action figures..)Becoz... MODEL KITS ARE NOT TOYS!!!!
Now, that is very important... as i have heard a mother of a 7 year old kid complaining to a shop that they sell Not-made toys.... when i heard that, i was like, DIAO??? She was complaining to the man saying that she spent $32 buying plastics for his kid who was looking for a robot action figure.... how lame can that be, and i even heard some parents saying that its a waste of money as kids will just spoil it when they play with it becoz its fragile....OMG... parents are getting retard at this recently... cant you ppl see?? its not a toy... its a MODEL FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!! M-O-D-E-L K-I-T!!! NOT T-O-Y!!!!

Model is not for play, u made it, colour it and its for display, not play around with it....

Brain-Washification

***You take the brain out, mix it with water and detergent, and chuck it into the washing machine. Temperature should be below 40 degrees C.***

No lar, I'm talking about THIS type of brain washing, but rather, ehhhh....read on and you'll know!! =P (cuz I don't know how to say duh~~ heex.)

So, ahem, an example of brain-washification would be when someone (let's name this person Anson, I've always liked that name. =D) Anyway, so Anson decided that he had had enough of being stupid. So he starts telling himself he's clever. EVERYDAY. At least ten times. Soon, he believes in it and REALLY starts becoming cleverer.

See, he manages to brain wash himself. -grins-

To brain wash other people, JUST DO THE SAME THING LAR!! Except of course you say it to the person. Normally, unless that person's will is very strong, otherwise he/she will soon be influenced by evil me you.

By going through this brain-washification process, first of all, you must be able to accept an earth-shattering a small/big (depends on what you wants) change. Next, you must really be convinced. (As convinced as Mr Vain that he's really very good-looking hor.)

Warning : Use it to good use, for boosting your confidence. If I ever found out that you put it to bad use, I'll.....I'll....-looks at the time- Oh, it's over 9pm. My brain refuse to work after that time lei.

I suppose that's it ba. Can't think of anything le. Will blog about my opposition to Ah^Wei's post when I have done more research on it since I'm actually quite interested in it myself. =)

oxymoron:
honest lies

Yesterday is a good day fine weather

You have probably noticed the horrible english the title was written in, just for the fun of it. Before I continue, let me do some explaining. I think ill make it a habit to explain my oxymorons from now on lol.

So lets begin. Simplicity Complex. First let me define complex as "In psychology, a group of related, often repressed ideas and impulses that compel characteristic or habitual patterns of thought, feelings, and behavior." An example would be a "inferiority complex", in which the person just has low self esteem and therefore feels themself "inferior" to others, thus the term. So a "simplicity complex" (although not really existant) is a condition in which the person simplifys everything too much. I guess. And a nice quote =) "Everything is simpler than you think and at the same time more complex than you imagine."

Now my topic. Lets pic up where Ah^Wei left off, Evolution. With it comes the famous question, which came first? The chicken or the egg? Well let me answer that question, in all kinds of religion in which there was the act of God creating the world and all its inhabitants, I have never seen a SINGLE religion which says that God created multitudes of EGGS all over the world and they hatched to become the first chicken/duck/etc. Problem solved, if you want to talk about the big bang theory I'll touch on that once Ive done more research.

Evolution, sometimes, may not be all that helpful. Evolution was "planned" so that creatures can adapt to changes in their environment to the best of their ability for ease of survival. The animal that I am most amazed at in evolution is the cockroach, yes, the cockroach, those tiny brown menaces we do not heistate to flatten without a second though. Why has man been unable to stomp out (no pun intended) the existance of cockroaches after years and years of effort? The reason is simple, the cockroaches simply gained a resistance to our chemicals and poisons and passed them on to their offspring. A little off the track note, it is said after a nuclear attack, the only surviving creature in the blast radius might be the cockroach, scary isn't it that prospect?

Before I go on, I do not 100% support the evolution theory, that all life started out as single celled organisms, that is bull~ In my opinion that is, the odds an chances involved are too great to even consider it a possiblity, and in such a short period of time. Same applies for the Big Bang theory. Yes, I am a creationist, so all evolutionists out there, be warned.

A thousand thanks to Ah^Wei for writing a haiku, it was great, keep it up, wasn't that hard was it? Eck! Ive spent too long on this post, ciao!

Black Light

Do you think men are still evolving?

Evolution. Science believes that men evolved from primates. Christians otherwise believe that God has created men. I stand more to the former statement. The latter just seem too far fetched for me to believe. I mean, how are you able to create something out of nothingness? Although I have read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons and it says that anti-matter is indeed created out of nothingness, I am still a little doubtful of it. However, there is indeed something called anti-matter in this world. They are still researching on it though.

So has men stopped evolving? That is my main question today. If we have not, what are we going to look like next time?

I actually have some very weird thinking. I remember saying that I believe that UFO's are actually humans from the future who is travelling back into time. So how do aliens look like? From movies and how people normally percieve, it looks like the kind with a lightbulb head, long thin fingers, eyes as large as an you mouse, head to body ratio is like 5:3. Is that how we are going to look like next time? What a scary thought, but that might be us when we have further evolved?

Who knows?

Lucky for us, we ain't staying long enough to find out how humans are going to look like in the future. Thinking in the present now, do you think we see signs of evolution? I for one think that we are indeed seeing some signs of it. What are the signs you might ask. I personally think that deformed offsprings are actually a sign of evolution. I mean, it can be true right?

Like I said, who knows?

The world is changing fast. We are zooming into the future. Something new is discovered everyday. How are we going to cope with the changes? I am sure that the weather will change gradually. Humans' body will evolve to meet the needs to survive the weather. So I guess men will still continue to evolve. What we see the aliens as now might be scary but it would actually be normal if everyone else look like one another.

Again, who knows?

Until we really evolve, we can only speculate right?

Evolution. What will it turn us into?

My share view on men and women...

I am sure most of you have read MrVain's entry about men and women. How many of you actually agree with him? I would say I personally agree to some of the points he mentioned in there. However, I am going to say my own view of men and women.

Male versus female. Who is the more dominant gender? How are they different and why are they acting like this? The answers. Where are we going to find them?

Let us first talk about the sense of sight between male and female. Picture this scene. A husband walks into the kitchen and asks for the bottle of milk. Wife says it is in the fridge. Man opens the fridge and starts searching for it. After searching for a few minutes, he gives up and calls for his wife to help him. His wife feeling frustrated, walks up to the fridge and miraculously produces the bottle of milk.

I am sure most men have this problem. Your mom asks you to go to the fridge and get an item and you absolutely cannot find it, but when they get it themselves, it seems so easy. I have a reason for that.

It all starts with ancient times. Where both genders were held to stereotyping. Meaning, men will be out hunting for food most of the time and females staying at home and looking after their offsprings and taking good care of their habitat. Due to this, both gender has developed different sights. For the men, their sight would have developed to focus more clearly to farther things. Because, during their hunts, they would look for their prey across the vast fields and thus developing a keen sight for far things.

For females, their job around the house has made them more alert to the things near them. Which developed their sight to notice things nearer to them more. That is why females tend to find things more easily around the house than males.

Next moving on to the thinking. I have to agree with MrVain that males do sometimes think more than females. I would say that males think more practically while females, the opposite. Reason would be dating back to ancient times where males hunt and females stay at home again. Pratical thinking is essential for hunting. Need we say more about cleaning?

Think I'll stop here for now. Shan't bore you further with my rattling on.

P.S: Diving was great! My dad has promised to let me take advance diving course if I lose 15 kg! Now I am so hyped up! Help me people!

Before I leave, let me try out Faust haiku.

I saw a coconut fall,
