We were dreamers not so long ago.
But one by one we all had to grow up.
Believe in what your heart is saying,
hear the melody that's playing.
There's no time to waste,
there's so much to celebrate.
Believe in what you feel inside,
And give your dreams the wings to fly.
You have everything you need,
If you just believe.
seems eons ago when i watched the polar express with my sister..
and i came to the conclusion that by virtue of the fact tt i'm an optimist (i am! despite how i sound like on my blog! haha), i can never be anorexic. or bullimic.
i wanna go jet skiing! but it costs a bomb i heard.. bah.
waking up welcoming a brand new day
telling myself it will be a better day ahead
nothing's too tough if it ain't the end of the world
nothing's too tough for those with the will to solve
with patience with reason with thought
life is a journey which has an unknown aim, except for death.
and life is a journey for you to collect experiences and emotions of all kinds, pleasant or not. what for? i do not know. but i know all these experiences will serve to make your life colourful and fulfilling..
i suddenly have this overwhelming urge to puke.. but not because i ate sth wrong.. reality can be revolting at times and i wish i am in a dream. and i'll wake up finding myself lying on the matress, sucking my thumb, in that nice cosy sleep-inducing flat in blk 118 at taman jurong. i wonder if this was really a dream and i could foresee the future, how different would things have been.. one thing for sure, i wouldn't have eaten too many nuggets in primary six. lol. and i would not gorged myself on apples during sec 2..
The Babel fish is small yellow and leechlike, and probably the oddest thing in the universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a babel fish into your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix that has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
A wacky passage from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. sounds illogical, but when you examine it closely, it does make some sense.. haha..
this blog entry is so absolutely random..
