    Excuses

    I guess the best excuse that I can churn out for blogging at such a time when I should be dilligently mugging for my exams is probably that I have a Literature paper tomorrow and writing (or at least typing in alphabets that do make practical sense) would get me going. Or perharps I am stressed out doing calculus and mechanics I need a break.

    Tomorrow makes the beginning of something that has been absent in my life for about three years, THE EXAMS. Worse still, to kick off the campaign with a literature paper isn't particularly delightful for your-average-science-student. Today, Big Pig asked me a question while I was squeezing my brain juices trying to figure out why the rotational inertia of a Sphere is 2/5 of its mass times its radius, and not my derieved value of 3/5. Too many symbols on the foolscape probably, it made her wonder if one day I would go crazy (and first thing that came to my mind was John Nash - A Beautiful Mind).

    Probably a better excuse for blogging is to take time to think about some things that cannot be related by Physics. Something I would say, less tangible than numbers and theorems, to think about Magical Realism, as it is so-called.

    I am so glad I took this magical realism course. Every Wednesday I would attend the class in anticipation (yeah, I do like the class, just hate it to be examinable) where I can let my mind roam and I can play around with ambiguity of words.

    I should take another ARTSY module next semester.

    Evacuate the Dancefloor

    Gab was the biggest asshole around town. He stole and robbed, he assaulted and rape. One day when he was running away from the police for stealing, Gab meet an angel. The angel gave him wishes and told him he could ask for anything.

    Gab can't believe he met an angel that was sent to grant his every wish. Gab, fully aware of his life of crime can't believe he is in heaven. He asks for anything that he could ask for and got everything he wanted. Everything was so easily achieved and all he had to do was to ask. He is initially baffled, but decides to accept his fortune. He started to list his desires - An obscene sum of money, enormous amount of food, which was served to him, beautiful woman of all cultures, black or white, who bared their bodies to him. Life, this way, could not seem to be better in any other way.

    However, as time goes by, the pleasure he gathers from the continuous indulgence begins to fade away, the effortlessness of his existance becomes exhausting for him. He ask the angel for work that will spur him and challenge him, in return for something he wants.

    The agony of not having a challenge, Gab becomes increasingly frustrated with his life. He wanders around meaninglessly like a corpse lacking of a soul. In his utter desperation, he summons the angel and reckons he wants to go to the other place. Assuming he was in heaven, Gab meant to go to the other place (hell).

    It was then, the omnious laugh of luicida, the ground turned to peat in flames, Gab stared petrified as the white fur of the angel burn in flames, the devil emerged and boomed, "This, you slave, is the other place"

    Its such a long time since I am motivated enough to sit down for a moment reflect and blog about things that I so wanna address. This story got me thinking deeply about having the desires in life but only deriving transient pleasure from it, especially when such pleasure is at an expense of someone's happiness. When such temporary pleasures comes with a price of destroy someone else's lifetime worth of dreams and happiness.

    If one day you've come to realise how big a sinner you are, turn yourself over into a new leaf. Be warned, too slow, and the devil will be on your heels, ever ready to collect your soul, for eternal slavery.

  • The worry-wart

    The worry-wart worries too much.
    He thinks too deep yet too superficial.
    He lets him mind wonder even when he's supposed to be focused.
    He thinks too quick and acts too fast.
    He ponders too little and rattle off hurriedly.
    He is selfish and he doesn't trust.

    But, granted, no fools around never deserved a second chance. Repent, turn back.

    The worry-wart shall never speak on folly again.
