I have no affinity with science questions. For the second time in a row, I abandoned my "spotted" topic and went for the question on the arts which I never did an ounce of preparation for. Call it stupidity or recklessness, I'll call it fate. Just like how Science ever had a social purpose eluded me throughout the exam,...
New song by FIR. Got a lot of negative comments from critics all over, but i found it quite refreshing. I refuse to compare it with the original song coz they are like 2 diff songs. Enjoy.
how do i live without you
i want to know
how do i breathe without you
if you ever go
how do i ever
ever survive
how do i how do i
oh how do i live
当你的手还握在我手中
没有一次
我还停留
说不出口的感动
当你的手还握在我手中
灿烂的笑容
不论过多久
都让我心动
每一天在你的怀里等待
每一次我感觉你的存在
不能重来
不愿离开
是永远都灿烂的爱
每一天在你的梦里等待
每一次我感觉你的存在
so how do i live
how do i live
how do i live
without you
当你的手还握在我手中
没有一次
我还放手
没有一次
停留
当你的手还握在我手中
灿烂的笑容
不论过多久
都让我心动
oh tell me now
how do i live without you
how do i breathe without you

Scene at the park
A guy and a girl, each riding a bicycle. Girl on a smaller bike tries to break away.
girl: Dun follow me. I'm going to the maze myself.
guy: No way! If u do that, i'll follow u. (as though that is a threat)
Guy speeds up and catches up with the girl. Girl pulls a long face and starts sulking.
Guy(with an air of authority): No matter where u go, i'll follow you and protect you. I wouldn't let anything happen to u.
Girl smiles a little and starts racing with the guy.
At this point, i think it is good for you, the reader, to know that the "guy" and "girl" each are less than 10 years old. My thoughts after watching this scene- The end products of 18 years of sophistication are hypocrisy and cynicism.

有一个失明的女孩叫叶子
是我的好朋友
我知道在她心里面
能看得见一切
在她透明的心儿里面
有一个角落
那里停放着
善良的故事和动人的传说
这个世界没有欺骗也没有争夺
美丽的女孩叫叶子
它经常这麽说
在她透明的眼睛里面
有一片湖泊
那里沉浸着
喜悦的伤感和忧郁的快乐
它的水面上没有涟漪也没有颜色
长长的睫毛闪烁着无尽的猜测
叶子问:
爱情是什麽颜色的
如果忧郁是蓝色的
快乐是什麽颜色的
如果寂寞是灰色的
天空是什麽颜色的
如果汪洋是蓝色的
我说天空也是蓝色的
因为他们彼此相爱了
爱情是什麽颜色的
如果记忆是模糊的
渴望是什麽颜色的
如果时间是静止的
永恒是什麽颜色的
如果呼吸是短暂的
我想我只好沉默
因为这问题地球也在思考着
透明是什麽颜色的
如果风儿是快乐的
叶子的眼睛是透明的
心是心是快乐的
心是快乐的

Heard this really really beautiful song on 933 while on the bus to school today.

Yesterday after the bbq at shawn's house, waited 50 mins for bus 14 to come and bring me to Tanah Merah MRT. Considering the efficiency of sg's transport system, 50 mins is like wtf, esp when the govt just emphasized the need for higher standards of service. In any case, I gained a few insights from the process of waiting, so perhaps the 50 mins of waiting was worth it after all.
Waiting, defined generally, means to put certain aspects of one's life on hold till a certain event occurs. Waiting for a bus is probably one of the more trivial type of waiting that one would experience in a lifetime, but it has implications that many of us never actually thought about. 2 of which i just thought of below.
First, why wait? Reasons generally fall under 2 catergories. 1) The event is highly likely to happen. 2) The event is highly unlikely to happen. The former is probably justified waiting, waiting that can justify itself. Like waiting for a bus or a plate of food at the hawker centre, they are justified as most of the times the event that you want occurs. In the latter case, it is more tricky, as waiting has to be justified by more than just the rewards of the event happening. The reasons then can be divided into voluntary and involuntary ones. In the involuntary case. waiting is not a choice as the event happening is the only way out. In the voluntary case, waiting is justified by a strong personal preference for the event over any others.
Secondly, is there a limit to waiting? More often than not, when we look at limit and waiting, we think of time. "The most i'll wait is 2 hrs" However, the idea that we can switch from waiting to not waiting mode instantaneously is rather absurd. Consider waitng for a bus. One can set a limit and say i'll wait for 30 mins. After 30 mins, u look for a taxi. Just when u were about to flag the taxi, u see the bus arriving. Would you then say, "nope, 30mins up, i'll take the taxi" ? The reason by which one would wait must be that taking the bus is much more favourable than taking a taxi. Hence, in a case where both are present, the bus is the natural choice, but due to other constraints, like needing to get to a place by a certain time, we might choose the alternative after 30 mins. Therefore, the conclusion we can draw is that time is measure of the ability to wait, not of the desire to. We never do give up on waiting, we only run out of time to be able to wait...
Boa's Waiting playing in the bg. It's national day today. Happy birthday Singapore! National Day celebrations yest were kinda sucky, but i guess it's still better than the NUS ppl doing flag day....

Hsinghai concert was yest, a timely reminder of how odd life has been without CO. The music, the people, the passion... all starting to fade slowly into the background. Perhaps one day, we'll be back as the alumni CO reliving the music, the people, the passion... Till then, i'll be thankful for what has been and shed a tear for what could have been. On a sidenote, butterfly lovers concerto is really not suitable for pipa, i still prefer the 'string'(bowed) feel of the song.
MIT talk today. I'll let the stats speak for themselves. 100 out of 2500 international applicants make it into MIT each year and out of that 100, there is an average of 2 per year from Singapore. If that is not extreme enough, the 2 that are admitted are almost certain to hold medals in international olympaids or done high level research in research institutes. This translates to ggxx...
