i was reading some article online about 'breatharians' who believe in sustaining life with only 'life energy' found in air or 'living with light'.. i wasnt exactly shocked by thier faith in ONLY air (considering the things that people believe in these days) but by their insistence that it is doing no harm to the body. i, personally, dont understand how this is probable. Water occupies 65 to 85& of all mammal's body, the wet mass that it. humans are no exception. we are made up of around 70% fluid. it might be wrong to say that 70% is Water. specifically, these fluids can be blood, digestive fluids, metabolic water and other bodily fluids. there are even fluids in the ear to help in balance... given the overwhelming wealth of credible facts about the importance, how can some of us still be so blind. we might be able to survive for day a week without food. but without water? it only takes a few days... the supporters of Breatharian lifestyle maintains that the mind of the disciple needs to be ready for the change. they suggest a series of inductions that reduce the amount of food and water intake gradually. many who tried this 'programme' died due to liver damage or extreme dehydration. and yes, it hurts...
Jasmuheen, probably the most visible advocate for this lifestyle change even claimed that her DNA expanded 2 to 12 strands to adsord more hydrogen. This is impossible. scientifically, evolutionally, physiologically, biochemically and logically unattainable!... when challenged to a blood test to prove her 'evolution of genetic materials, she said that she didnt understand the significance... i am trying ti visualise her facial menifestation when she first heard that challenge... she knew that science dont lie (usually)... and that her claims will be trampled on the ground. worthless.

i'm am, consequentially, confronted with the reason for sustainance of a lie. or a claim... i suppose it is really true that a lie breds another in it's defense. for example, imagine the impact on Jasmuheen's media profile if she is ever caught eating or drinking. (i'm rather certain she does eat and drink, only in secrecy...)and so she continues to lie. about the DNA (and how can she see that her dna 'expanded' when if it is true?) and about cause of death for her 'followers'. she has to contantly find reasons to connect deaths to 'psycho-spiritual' reasons. she must know that these death are a physiological articulation of a non feastible lifestyle!

or does she.

is she really so entangled in her own world of make-believe that facts on longer have any influence on her? is she so trapped by her first ever claim that she is now fully submerged in her self-destruction? is she that naive?

or maybe she is doing it on purpose.

maybe this is all a attempt to receive some sord of media coverage.

ultimately, if she wants to believe, she has all the right to. but, i think she shouldnt avocate her belief if it has been shown, statistically, that there is no happy ending.

and so we consider what blinds us. what makes us so deaf to the realistic understanding of the world. maybe it is some kind of inner monster screaming for control. maybe it is a conscious, cognizant choice to be indulged in a world of fantasy. or maybe it is purely psychosis. very scary psychosis... 

i havent been able to log on to shoutpost for days! what is going wrong?! seriously, i thought i found a great platform for communication, though rather one sided, and it has to fail me!? oh no! oh no.

speaking of failing, or rather, not failing, i'm left with 2 examination papers. both are multiple choice papers (for chemistry and biology). i'll post my results here, once i get them, provided that i can log in. :] conditional probability...

so many things happened. many insignificant things. amongst them, i got myself a facebook account. cheers. and i got myself a pet too. i mean a pet in facebook...

if there's one thing that's significant, it is the constant downpour that we're experiencing here.  i consider rain a wake up call. it reminds us about the world surrounding us. so many of us are so so so fixated on our own lives, our own problems and existance and happiness and situations that we forget who we really are. we are merely a organic compound on earth, which is merely a tiny sphere of life in the milkyway. realise that the milkyway is only a small small component of the universe. it is believed and calculated that it is probable that there are many other 'milkyways' in the spatial fabric. and so we are really a really small part of the entire realm. so what is it that we should learn from this realisation? it is that we cannot be entirely focused on ourselves. that we must have a greater part to play. that we must be create with a purpose.

on regards to that, we can start to consider if we do anything worthwhile with our lives at all. Saw one two and three (the movie) is essentially about JIGSAW, an aged man who kidnaps those he believe dont appreciate their lives. he challenges or rather tests them and determin if they are worth their lives. if not, they should be destroyed to prevent 'pollution'. what we do reflects who we are. and as an extension, the risks we take makes us tangible-human. i believe that living life is like walking on a tightrope. that there are constant challenges and constant setback. everyday, we get exposed to so much potential catastrophe but we choose to live on (or some of us chooses to live on) with sheer courage and focused willpower. we live because we choose not to fall. even if it is raining, and the ropes are wet, we walk on. maybe slower, maybe more unstable - but if we dont allow ourselves to fall, we wont. Have conviction in our continuation. our parallel maintenance of certainty in life. the constants, regular forces.

and so the rain makes us delay. how so? realisation of our intrinsic plight highlights our need to carry on our search for finality. i do not think that life is meaningless, i think that life has to be MADE meaningful. so whenever it rains, we should all delay. think about our placement in the world and our internal stimulus for incessant endurance. we fight to see another day.

and the next day, our ropes will be dried. and we will once again slip back to in our habitual motion. till the next delay.

You can bet
There's nothin' but net
When I am in a zone and on a roll
But I've got a confession
My own secret obsession
And it's making me lose control

Everybody gather 'round

Well if Troy can tell his secret than I can tell mine...I bake.

What?

I love to bake! Strudels, scones, even apple pandowdy!

Not another sound

Someday I hope to make the perfect creme brulee!

No, no, no, nooooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
If you wanna be cool
Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

Look at me
And what do you see
Intelligence beyond compare
But inside I am stirring
Something strange is occuring
It's a secret I need to share

Open up, dig way down deep

Hip hop is my passion! I love to pop and lock and jam and break!

Is that even legal?

Not another peep

It's just dancing. Sometimes I think it's cooler than homework.

No, no, no, noooooooooo
No, no, no
Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

ok i think we all get the point here, so i'll stop including the entire set of lyrics. personally, i like this song. but i am rather concerned with the repercussion it might post to the general public. the song is from the all famous high school musical (insert pom-poms and screaming from fans). high school musical is rather famous among teenagers. the pertinent issue here is that media has to understand that there is a form of societal responsibility that comes with its prevalence. what the song actually enourage is to stay within confort zone. this is most nervewracking. in the modern time and age, the need to think out of the box and be constantly on point about events, issues and relationships is crucial. consequentially, there is a need to be fluid when it comes to roles and responsibilities played.

ok, i really shouldnt be doing this when my chemistry paper 2 is on tomorrow. but still, every now and then, i need to chill a little. saturation isnt healthy. i actually like chem, but somehow, the results doesnt always display this interest.

taking about interests, i find transition metals rather cool. they are often coloured becuse of d-orbital splitting. they are able to split the degenerate 5d orbitals in an octehedral sphere in to two energy levels with a energy gap, E, between.  the compound then absorb energy from electromagnetic spectrum that is equal to that energy gap E. and if this energy lies within visible light, the complex appears to be the complement of the absorbed light.

chem is wonderful.
but my heart stays with bio.

...anyone wants to go buy chem and bio MCQ bank with me tomorrow after chem?

i really like drama as a subject. specifically, theatre and studies and drama at A level. which is offered at ACJC. so any jurong juniors interested, please contact me :].

it is not really the process of learning drama as an academic subject that is inspirational. it is the realisation that there are so many possibilities and that every piece of text is in itself a beautiful creature. and us, as drama students, breathe life in to the plot and the characters. and during exams, we are the boss, really. we can depict the character anyway relavant to the text. the pertinent factor is that the characters must be ture to themselves. them may look like utter rubbish to the audience, but if the actor understands his role and his position, it will be fine. that the director and the actor collectively form a character fabric that is, at the very least, turthful to the two of them
such a gift.

and my drama exam is, guess when!!!

tomorrow! lol

so wish me luck as i go out there to create.

i saw this on tv. it sure makes one salivate.

get fresh porcini from any market, i believe they are around all year round.

chop them in to slices of dices after you gently scrub any mud on it.

heat a pot with butter and some olive oil. add in mint leaves.

Add the fresh porcini and stir constantly.
next, add in veggie stock slowly and let it reduce.
add just enough stock to cover the porcini slices and add salt + pepepr to taste.

add one egg and swirl is fast to thicken the soup.

add in any powdered hard cheese and let it sit on the stove for a while.

AH!!!! visualise it!!

ah

today i ran for 5.6km. i know this because i was running on the track lol.

and i burnt

330calories!

cheers.

one bigmac and all that running is gone.
lol. see, tis a tough world.

==============================================================

it is really heartwarming to see people growing up, becoming stronger and moving on. no, i dont mean growing up as in puberty growing up, i mean mentally accepting that there are things in life we have to face and that there is no escape. Such thoughts make us all stronger. wiser and very much more human. the design of human is so that we make mistakes, but the best gift is that is doesnt stop there. we grow from it. and after each setback we rise back from the ashes, strengthened! it is almost as though we possess the blessing of the phoenix. the mystic firebird that breathes life back to those who deserves it. *insert a grand phoenix flight sequence. ending with an explosion of flames*

wow, looks just like singpore's nationdayparade fireworks!

-
-
-
-and so we burn. everyday, we burn something. some time we burn calories, sometimes a desire to quit.

but in some unfortunate and definite events, we burn away something extremely important to us.
sometimes, we burn away our dreams.
for the greater good, some says. but eventually, as long as we stand strong by our choices and believe that one day, even dreams can be bought back from the blackened ashes, we'll fly. we meet our dearest phoenix somewhere high up. and realise that some fire dont burn. they merely emit light and ignite something in us. some passion, some hope, some desire. ultimately, some destiny.

yes, we all have a destiny.
and we'll find it :]

it's not fair.
it's not.

so much work done. so much effort. so much faith and what happens?

Everything was decided in that mere 2 hours. 2 hours.
not enough.
it's not fair. i worked so hard/ and when it came out, i couldnt do.

why?
because i was paranoid.
paranoid about not having enough time
paranoid about not having enough space on my desk
paranoid about not understanding the question

i know i can do it.
bloodyhell.

it's not fair.
it's not fair how i allowed everything to slip right through the gaps of my finger, if i only held my hands as a fist/ if only.

if only i STOPPED!
if only i stopped and took a look around. look around! and relax. and think

i dont know why i was so messy inside.

and now my chemistry paper 3 will pay for it.
and now i wil pay for it.

it's not fair.

i know the stuff. iknow the answers.....i kisu couldnt make it surface.

it's not fair.

isnt it interesting to see psychology in action? some schools of thought believe that behavious is the outcome of psychology. by behaviour, it extends to daily rituals, movement patterns, speech patterns of even the diet. but we should understand that most of what we think doesnt physically emerge. infact, most thought and psychological motivations result in a unconscious delivery of release. thoughts need to be liberated somehow to prevent overload and so mostly, these thought physicalise in small, often fogotten things like handwriting and movement of the eye.
The hand writing of someone can tell a lot. a lot about his current state of mind that is. it is not accurate to 'guess' history and culture from handwriting but state of mind can be easily crafted from it. one may argue that handwriting changes over time and may even change a few times in one day, but this fluidity of change is exactly what makes it accurate. handwriting is alike emotions, rapidly changing and very dynamic. the range are exponential and the gradations, many.

so we should all take note of our own habdwritings and start to learn a bit more about ourselves. it is through self-awareness that improvements are made.

to infinity and beyond!

the last entry was rather, hmmmm, unconventional. lol received quite some feedback eh :]. i guess tis all fine and good sicne everyone should have their own view. even if my opinion is rather undecided at the moment, it is still a stand. so, educate me!

and i've just finished my general paper prelims. it was alright and all. nothing special. i chose education as my essay topic though. (surprise surprise. what else would i do?)

and do the question was

In a modern age where knowledge becomes obsolete so quickly, is there a future for schools? discuss.

clearly i'm rather into education. i feel that it is one area that i really want to explore. infact, if i ever do my masters (i bet i will, eventually), i wont do it on an academic area (EG biochemistry), instead i would research on educational psychology, departmental management or something along that line. thank goodness i've found the area my interests lie.
though it is not the ONLY interest.
but sometimes, dreams must give way to practicality.

Aristottle: The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

i do hope so :]

The heated debate on creation versus evolution, avocated by religious and scientific institutions respectively, is a never ending one. Both sides are strongly persistent in their view and may be considered 'narrow-minded' at most times. Stephan Hawking, a renowned and highly celebrated astroscientist, declared in the conclusing paragraph of his book "a brief history in time' that he would want to see science bringing us better 'understanding of God'. Hawking is just one example of the large scale impact that a prominent scientist can create in the community with more inclusive mindset. why cant science and religion be associated, allied and relevant to each other?

They actually can coexist and thrive within eachother's arena. there are countless arguements for and against either God-creation or science-evolution. to list a few, creationists believe in that the superior design of human must have been a product of a designer, a entity beyond understanding. on the other hand, evolutionists avocate that the logical deduction of natural selection by Charles Dawrin or even the less popular neutral theory of evolution by Motto Kimura is more believable then the plain devotion to God. Critics of God-centered arguements comdemn putting God as the answer to anything unexplainable or especially beautiful. There should be more faith in Human and nature.

Consider the evolutionists' school of thought. Is the very act of believing in the power of  Nature's selection power not a form or belief. If yes, then scientists have long been living with the notion of belief and faith. Though they may not believe in a God per se, their trust in a force uncontrolled by human is surely an example or faith.

On the other hand, creationists have too, been making their conclusions on the obervations of science. Science is basically the use of observation and qualitative reasonings to quantify ideas and abstract thought. The beautiful design of the human body as promoted by religious dabators unknowingly used science and it's discoveries to fuel it's own rationale.

As afore-proven, the two seemingly disinct schools of thought are infact very compatible. as such, it takes a strong education process to incalcute this new culminatio of beliefs in to the minds of our youth. the debate will not end any time soon, infact, it is our children who will continue with the search for answers. human are psychologically built to seek reasons and motivations for happenings, to find meaning in life. so, let us join resources and energy in educating the youth, so that one day. we'll master our 'understanding of God.'

Pax Tecum
and wish me good luck for my exams tomorrow.

martha's great.

braised lamp shouder looked so so so good.
oh my.

AH!

my exam starts tomorrow. well. all the best to me.

with that, i'll leave you to ponder

'how much blood are you willing to lose, to stay alive?"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_traps_in_the_Saw_film_series

i surprise myself. but i really like movies like wolfcreek, SAW (1 to 3, yes i've watched them all) Hostel (one and two) the hills have eyes ect.

i think i have an inclination towards torture flicks.

oh no.

i love how there is a sense of raw energy, almost the survival instinct that is emitted whenever characters are under threat.
and no, i will not shut my eyes, i wont scream. i might jump if the action is sudden and i wont be disturbed. infact, i will think about the tortures and how effective they are.

oh no.

oh my...

wow, i've just spent my entire morning doing nothing! thanks eh!

thanks.

and i cant focus. i think i'd go for a run later. just to dispell certain myths, when i say run, i really mean run. like, at least 4k. like really.
and i think about a lot fo things when i run. about my past, current and future possibilities. many people that left their mark on my like resurface when i run. the times we spent, or the conversations we had. i dont make friends easy. not everyone i speak to is a friend. to me, a frtiend is special because a friend stays constant. and is concerned, maybe metaphysically or even spirtually but eventually, they'll come back to you if we both have faith in eachother. that's a friend.

not some hi bye shit.

and so. i cant run just yet. i'll burn in the sun. to anyone that isnt aware, singapore only has one season. and that's summer. great and all. but after 18 years of summer, a bit of snow wont hurt.

and the show american inventor is ... well... not very attractive.
let's leave it as that.


inspire, be a teacher.
lol, i've sold me soul to the ministry. lol.

yes it is a sign.

i have TWO spots on my face.
actually three but the third one cant be seen thanks to my best friend, my fringe.

and i have an ulcer that presisted for FOUR days. and refuses to leave me. irritates the BEEP* outta me.

i think my body is asking me to stop studying. i wish. my prelims are in, HAHA, 3 days! HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHA
talk about fear.
HAHA!

and this aint even A levels, tis only prelims!
AH!!!
i wanna be smart. like smart smart, not hardworking smart...

and the coffee bean manager remembers me. lol. he said "oh, it's you again, morning" when i went there, when else, this morning.

ive nothing to say. other than the fact that the biology syallbus is way tootootootootootootoo huge.

AH INDUCIBLE ENZYMES!

in the battle between FLABS and FABULOUS, we'll never win.

why?

because i jogged for 35 minutes and all i burnt (according to http://www.fhma.com/calories.htm)
 was a mere 257 calories!

Now consider this, for every 250 calories we burn, we loose 0.06 pounds. and how much is that in KG? that's 0.2727272727272727kg.
if this is making you give up hope, dont. just keep running and one day, you'll become ....
a great runner.
no promises about weight for those who are concerned with it.

OH yes, just to make you feel even better about yourself:

Chicken Chow Mein

715

i plate of Chicken Chow Mein contains 715 calories.

and so, because i refuse to die early, this will be my new diet plan.

i am going to be a


















VEG-FISH-TARIAN (i gave it thought ok, i cant stand not eating any 'meat' and since fish is healty, i've decided to adopt it).
and i know i wont last a day. so, in order to make this plan more feastible (see i cant find fish in starbucks!)
i'll have an exception.

i'll be a














VEG-FISH-(steamed and healty)CHICKEN(breast)-TARIAN.

thats all really.
if i cant even eat chicken, i wont survive. i'll need to migrate.

and drink water!

As a Strategic type, you want to be able to express yourself and your ideas through work. Sure there's a time and place for rules and procedures, but when a good thought strikes you, you don't want it to be boxed into one way of thinking. You're willing to go outside the rules if there's a chance that the risk will reap big rewards.

You are stronger than most when it comes to generating ideas. And because of this, it might sometimes feel easier to take on all aspects of a job yourself instead of wasting time explaining it to someone else who might not "get it" like you do. But because you have so many ideas and are willing to take on so much, you might find that you sometimes have trouble finishing every project you start.

Your diplomacy and adaptability make you a valuable asset. But your need to feel invested in a company that allows you to express your original ways of thinking will ultimately impact how happy you are in the workplace.

You're very ambitious and personable, and you've got a great sense of humor. You care a lot about how you look. You're bursting with self-confidence, and people admire you for your achievements and determination.

Behind that bold exterior you sometimes worry that you're not good enough. You can also be so critical of your work that it verges on self-destructive. You aim to succeed - and you'll quickly crush anyone who stands in your way.

seriously, tis song is WELLDONE! and there are many who thought that kelly clarkson sang this. well well, lets not confuse the two. pink is diva in her own arena.

rock on pink!

though i really like black more....

i really shouldnt be thinking anout that. not after i've made up my mind! not after i mustered so much courage to deal with it and decide that i am not fit enough. after all, i'm not good enough for it. and that i need to go through that phase. it is for my own good. i shouldnt be comparing with others. i know i need to go through it. i know it. and it will help me. i am not scared. i am only uncertain. so stop hogging my mind. and now i miss days when, when i knew, i had the power, the strength.

search.
endless search.

such minute details, yet such wonderment./

at every juntion, when i look back, i see where i've came from. but at the same time, i want to move forward.

parched on my hands, the books fly. with mechanical wings, they fly. and yet, with the sound of the jarring morning beat, i wake - to another day. yet again. still flapping it's wings, i attempt to reach for the unreachables. and it falls. but then not for long. the cycle repeats. and i sit outside of it, no i stand outside of it, watching. watching it move, or attempt to move. watching it try to take off, fall and try again. such misery, why condemned so? the right to fly? the right of know? the right to choose and find, seek, discover, look. cant.

so back to the world of receptor tyrosine-kinase and Gprotein linked receptor. and of cause, my good friend, Motoo Kimura.

please rmrmber that the Generic name comes before the Specific name
consequentially, the phase HOMO sapeins is formed.

self-doubt is the start of failure.
and i really need to study, harder. with more pow and more drive.
but i cant find it.
oh my gosh.

next week's prelims and well it might determine if i get a MOE scholarship. hmm hmm. with all that at stake, i really shouldn't be online.
but let me discuss why i hate my own studying methods some times.

1. i take forever to finish one chapter. because i fuss and fuss and fuss! i have to ensure that i finish ALL the details for any given chapt before i move on. which is great and all, in theory, but when one is running out of time, this isnt the most helpful studying quirk

2. next, i cant focus. as opposed to common beliefs by my classmates, i am not focused. not-at-all. i can study really hard for about... say 5 minutes? after that my mind starts to wonder and my fingers start itching. i start writing random bitesize whatevers everywhere.

3. i can only study at night... so having school isnt a good thing for me...

4. i feel as though my life is bleak whenever i think of all the chapts i have yet to cover. seriously.

well thats it. for now. i cant even focus and write my problems in detail. lol!!

haha
ha
.

so hello to coffee bean tomorrow then...

Thinking of getting a pet? It costs approximately $6,400 to raise a medium-size dog to the age of eleven (that's in human years).

Think today's kids become sexually active too early? In 1910 a couple, ages 8 and 9 became parents in China! Speaking of young, the youngest pope ever was a mere 11 years old

The soft drink Coca-Cola was originally green in color. (OMG!!!)

We've all seen statues of famous people who fought famous battles but most people don't know that if the person is featured on a horse, how the horse is positioned tells you a little history about the person. If the horse has both front hooves in the air the person was killed instantly in battle. If one leg is up the person died of wounds received in battle. But, if the horse has all four legs on the ground he was an important part of a famous battle but actually died a natural death. (now this is interesting!)

Cows can be led upstairs even though they refuse to go back down. Speaking of stairs, firehouses began using circular stairways back in the day when fire engines were pulled by horses. With straight stairways the horses would travel upwards rather than staying in their downstairs quarters, making it necessary to run the horses back down stairs before leaving to tend to the fire. With spiral staircases the horses would stay put.

Thats all folks.

OK i lied, tis normal food. not food for thought. but if you can fill your stomach by thinking, or ahead.

so,take swiss style cheese (for example Emmentaler or gruyere), ok if you cant find them in the market, use harder cheese like cheddar. Mix the cheese with butter (without trans-fats please!) and beat it till consistant texture.

next, take a shallow bow and fill it up fruits. mix sour with sweet fruits. for example, blue barries with oranges kiwi (either green or golden) and peaches. place them in whatever weird positions you like and place the cheese and butter mix on it. cover the entire bow.

Place the entire combination in an oven for 20 minutes.

when it is done, serve with either yogurt ice-cream of fruit sorbets.

tis really healthy and if you love cheese, you'll love this.

plus, it reduces the guilt of having cheese when it is mixed with fruits. :]

enjoy.
