The more I read and the more I think, the more I find this life unsubstantial. And the beliefs that we hold, foolish at best.
Why do so many people believe in something as unbelievable as god? Why are people so quick to not question and not argue about the existence of something so omnipotent that it is simply impossible? Why do some people go to the extent of killing others for such an immature belief?
I find it disgusting. The image of lives lost. Dead. Gone. And to what end? So some psychotic schizophrenic and go around preaching about hatred and violence masked as some great attempt to save human beings and instill universal love?
I find it unfair that religion is pressed upon a child when he/she is first born. Isn't it a bit ridiculous that you get to choose what job you'll take, who you'll marry, the friends you'll make, the place you'll live and work in, what hobby you want and to an extent, even what citizenship you want to hold but somehow, you are not allowed to choose the one thing that will probably govern your belief about life and death and the beyond - religion?
Why do we let something that dictates the eradication of people who are not alike - gays, transsexuals, people of other religion, people who challenge the foundations of a certain religion? Why do we let something that systematically belittle roughly half of our population into nothing more than baby carrying containers made to serve, love and dedicate themselves to the existence of her husband roam large and loud? Why do we practise the freedom of choice and human rights in so many things but not in this?

Stellar
The sky is so clear tonight, the stars shine brightly on.
The moon smiles, incomplete in its form but never shy.
The thing is, the stars and the moon has always been there. We've just been too clouded to see its beauty. Only ever once in a while do we bother looking up on a clear day to find our sights blessed by this scene.
Life is alright, after all.
I guess maybe that's why people who meditate are happier. They see pass the curtains of our daily living and see the point in life. Remember to breathe. Remember we exist for ourselves. Remember that the answer is within us.
Maybe people didn't get it when Dr. Arul tried to show this to us during his little prep talk after revision class. I guess what he meant was that the stars were there when he was our age and they're still there right here, right now.
See, only problem is, our hearts and mind aren't. We're not the same kids who grew up back then and we will never be. It's ridiculous to expect us to toil away under the sun just as they did and not know what a computer means just like they did. At the same time, I guess both our generation and theirs ask the same question.
Are the benefits we get really worth the sacrifices we make?
Sure, retrieving and staying connected is now easier. Getting from one place from another is a mere "sit" away. The only thing standing between you and that Gucci handbag is that plastic card.
But look at the other side of the coin too, my child.
Identity theft looms big and bright. And if you don't get it stolen, you get it confused.
Who am I. What am I. Where am I.
Do I define my looks by what the uber-skinny / shaven muscular models look like? Am I only pretty when I conform to their standards?
Am I nothing more than the plastic skin I wear? Do you really see me as just that?
In our achievement of reducing time spend travelling by making things go faster, we pass by the sceneries and the trees on the side of the highways faster too. But then again, faced with the trichromatic, monotonous side views that our highways provide, why would we want to slow down anyway?
What happened to the roses my friend. We trampled them to death when we made highways and bypassed the small towns filled with life and vibrancy and replaced them with time. Time we will not spend enjoying life anyway because now that you're at your destination faster, you need to get moving again.
I think many people think me shallow when I say I can't stand guys who dress a certain way or look a certain way. But then I guess I fall prey to the notion that females are meant to be objectified and made to look pretty.
Ironic, seeing as I consider myself a strong advocate of feminism.
The thing is, I held my view that despite the countless hours and monies the female gender spend trying to please their little hearts by dolling themselves up, I could always count on the men to skip the unnecessaries and stick to the raw deal. Be gone old fools.
Live our lives chasing after not powder nor cloth, but finding the true beauty in a meaningful conversation, a good adventure, a great life lived.
One day, you will grow old, the skin on your face shall wrinkle and you will find hair growing where it should not and find muscle disappearing from where they should be. And when that day comes, tell me friend, does it really matter?
Will you find joy in looking at a photograph and think "Man, I look good."
Or will you find integrity in the picture of you standing high on a mountain that you just conquered on foot, or looking at the deeds you have done in your life.
So when I say I have a problem with guys who dress a certain way, I don't mean I disagree with how they supposedly push the boundaries of fashion but in pure truth are just following the path of those before them. When I say I can't take it, I mean I can't take them all. Maybe this is my folly for not seeing your point of view. And in a certain way, I do get annoyed even when I'm made to wait for a girl make up and get ready when I could spend the time not waiting... So the same goes for both sexes I guess.
The answers to your questions can be found in this world without the need to include the supernatural.
The truth to this life can be found in each others hearts.
The meaning behind our existence lies not outside, but inside.
Stop running away from life. Stop chasing after life.
Start living your life.

I don't know much
What I'm about to say probably won't go down well with people. And for that I'm grateful that mine is a heck of an unpopular blog. I feel like I've been having so much to say but for fear of reproach of the frowns of others I have kept it all in me. Don't judge me for the thoughts that run cuckoo in my head, for the mind is like wild horses that once set loose will not be tamed.
What I have to say is about religion, creation, evolution, and chance.
So if you are one who is sensitive about these issues then for the sake of not despising me, and for the sake of remaining friends, I urge you to stop reading. My mother has always said, religion should be the last thing friends talk about. And I've always believed that religion should be a private affair that should not dictate any part of our lives other than the "religion" compartment. And it is a shame that in most parts of the world, religion is a major driving force for politics. And if you're wondering if I believe this then why am I writing this here? Well, it is MY blog. And like I said, it IS unpopular.
First of all, let's start with what fueled these thoughts in me.
I read a book that said "Science will answer the when and where of life's existence, but only god can answer the why."
Which got me thinking. Why are we here? I did put much thought into this. But then I realised, I'm thankful that science cannot and will never answer this question (hopefully) because the truth is, if science answered it it would be a homogeneous answer. And I refuse to accept that we all exist for the purpose of one. I believe in freedom, and I think it is right for every one of us to pursue our own dreams and set our own goals. Also, for there to be an answer to that question, it suggests an intelligence behind it. Like the tree grows in the direction of the sunlight to receive the optimum amount of it. But, to say there's an answer to the "why" of our existence would mean we were "created", or so to speak.
Now let's delve a little further into the subject of "creation" or as the more versed atheist / evolutionists will call it, "intelligent design". As I have pointed out just now, notice that the word "intelligent" is there to differentiate it against the puny "design". For those of you wondering what the differences are, Darwin believed in design. The first time I heard this I was shocked. The guy who theorised the basis of evolution believes in design? However, after explanation from my dad, I understood what it meant. What he meant was that who we are today is not by chance. Why are there no mono-eyed quadri-handed humans today? I mean at least in the normal population. Because it does not tie in with survival. It disadvantages and at the same time holds no extra advantage that will promote our survival. So it does not happen. And who or what decides that such a creature shall not exist? The designer. And who is this designer? The oh-so-notorious genes. In a way, it makes sense. The selfish gene, remember? It excludes the unwanted and retains the needed. Evolution did not happen by chance. Mutation, the differentiation of one gene sequence to another, THAT happened by chance. But the retention of this mutation which lead to evolution happened by selection. Selection pressure and natural selection, I'm sure we've all learned this in college.
But this explanation begets another question, where did the innocent gene come from? What marks the beginning of DNA?
The easy answer to this would be "intelligent design". An intelligent omnipotent being created the DNA that lead on to life form. However let me state that omnipotence is highly improbable because for arguments' sake, an omnipotent being would be able to create a shield that cannot be pierced, and create a spear that can pierce ANYTHING in the world. So when 2 such things collide, what happens? What happens is that two such things do not exist because omnipotence is a farce. Let's divulge from this topic and consider the two most popular religions on earth - Christianity and Islam. However, living in this country, I will not comment on the latter to safeguard myself and because, in a way, they are brothers in arm so let us just discuss the former. It says god, also known as the intelligent designer in this text, created men in his image and made women from the rib of the men. And let's not forget that the creation of earth and the sun and everything else happened in 7 days. Honestly, if he designed the DNA and let it evolve into a human, then first off he must be lazy for just starting off with the DNA and sitting back to relax. Second, how is creating a DNA in the "image of himself", and what makes you think that MEN evolved first before women. On second thought, maybe this intelligent designer is a DNA, so creating DNA would be in line with both theories. But it said the intelligent designer created men and not DNA. Hmmm, this subject requires further thinking. But let us just be clear that whatever plausible evolution and big bang that happened did not happen in 7 days.
Let's go back to the topic of DNA. Now one must ask, where does the DNA come from. But let's go further back and ask, where does "life" come from? The so-called abiogenesis.
The thing here is, for life as we know it to exist, the first component that must happen is the cell membrane. As we all know, the only "living" organisms without either are viruses but then again, can we even consider them as alive?
So cell membranes... For a wall to encircle something, first there must be something to be encircled, right? So now we have protoplasm. Now one would ask, where does this protoplasm come from? When did the interactions and connections between the organic and inorganic materials start? And where exactly did this "first-formed" entity come from?
Some theorise that this came from meteorites. And may I stress that it is a theory? So there was a big bang and there were solid masses that existed. Then there were "embolus" of these masses and meteorites happened. And we go back to DNA. DNA are nucleic acids that direct the formation of proteins which are amino acids, right? So well, amino acids are mere chemicals that can form or degrade without the need for "life". In chemistry one does not often consider life. However, life is impossible without chemistry. So another question would be, where does the amino acid come from? So this is where meteorites come in. Apparently it carried matters upon it and it arrived and if you ask me further I do not know what to say any more because honestly, I'm not ready to gain a thesis in this field. However, what I can tell you, and hopefully you'll take this message and continue thinking and maybe against all odds one day I'll be able to say "that person who theorised such and such was my classmate". Anyway, what I can tell you is that stromatolites are currently considered to be the earliest forms of living organisms on earth, existing since 3.5 billion years ago. It is said that first, anaerobic bacteria formed, and it cleaved whatever it reacted with and oxygen was formed. And then aerobes appeared. This does tie in well with the theory that photosynthesis existed since 2.4billion years ago, and that stromatolites can photosynthesise. The one bizarre thing we must keep in mind when considering all this is that before the start of life, EVERYTHING was sterile. So whatever happened, happened in a land of sterility with no microbes and so on. By 2.4 billion years ago there were stable isotopes of carbon, iron and so on, making widespread life on earth possible. Not quite 10,000 years ago, I understand, but more science based at least.
Another theory is that "life" came on the meteorites, and not just mere amino acids or chemicals. And by this I don't mean aliens. I know this is starting to sound like scientology but I guess there's a reason that line of thought is gaining popularity... Life arrived on earth and it reacted with the earth and yada yada yada. But so where did this life come from? Haha. Maybe that's why intelligent design attracts people. It requires so little thinking. It is as if everything has already been written for us and all we have to do is read and accept and have faith.
I just relised I've gone a long way to not answer anything at all. But I think this is my way of mourning the fact that our schools and our government is too ignorant to teach and advocate such scientific lines of thought. I guess this is where the "religion should stay religious only" line of thinking comes in. I mean even if we're considering intelligent design, one should always question where the intelligence came from. The truth is I am open to the possibility of this designer, however I need the proof for this. And no I do not consider the "because it cannot be disproved hence it must be true" theory a legitimate one. Just because you cannot disprove that I am the amazing manisfestation of god that appeared in my mother's womb to spread the message of love does not mean that it is true. I am open to the subject of belief, however faith is not my field. And as we all know, faith is blind. And when a blind man leads the blind, the case of the blinds feeling up an elephant ensues.
So people, go forth now and think about life. Buddha once said that the origin of life is too far gone to be seen by men. And in a way it is true. 3.5 billion years is a heck of a long time. Even if we were able to create life from the sterile labs, it does not mean that that's how it happened, it merely means that such a method of creation is possible. However, that does not mean that we cannot theorise.
What I have to say is about religion, creation, evolution, and chance.
So if you are one who is sensitive about these issues then for the sake of not despising me, and for the sake of remaining friends, I urge you to stop reading.

Ponder Upon The Pond
A lot of bands led by singers who say the same things and say a lot of things and say pretty much nothing at all. It was sad to watch them miss the chance. The opportunity. Miss the moment to say real things, to invite people to think or feel or ask a question or believe.
Maybe this applies to all of us.
It has been said that all the world's a stage. We all have an audience. We all have some kind of influence. We all have a story and a voice. Our lives are our songs. Our hearts are our songs. It's OK to ask real questions. It's OK to say real things.
Let's make things that matter and move.
Let's chase after those things as well.

Change Your Mind
It has been AGES since I last blogged here.
Yes, that does mean I've been blogging elsewhere. Muahahahaha.
Anyways, what spurred today's sudden post you might ask?
Well let me tell you. Yup yup, that's what I'll do.
Tell you!
First and foremost, let me start by saying this.
Yap Lee Shan! You tricked me!!! You said you were coming this weekend! You useless bugger!
And now the main reason for blogging.
I got bored studying.
I'm kidding.
OK I wasn't. But that sounds bad.
Today my aunt from Burma reached Malaysia :)
I didn't talk about her last visit but basically she was diagnosed with breast cancer (BRCA for you meddies) near the end of last year and decided to do her mastectomy in Burma and the idiotic anaesthesiologist nearly killed her / gave her brain damage with this moronic skills. After that, my mom convinced her to take her subsequent treatment in M'sia from my dad.
When she arrived for her first course of treatment she was so frail and slow.
"Slow?" you would think.
Well, she's normally one of those hyperfast walking if something crops up now she would have done it yesterday kinda lady so seeing her walking slower than me... It was a total shock. I didn't know what to do how to react how to treat her. Through her first stay her mood got better but she was still so patient-ish.
But now, on her second visit. The moment she got out of the arrival hall she was all chirpy and stuff. She was complaining non-stop about how the custom lady was "inconveniencing" her (you know lah old aunties), about how she's glad to be finally "let free" yada yada. Then she immediately opened her luggages and start giving me and my brother all the food she brought for us and kept giving my mom the "I don't care what you say I'm still gonna give them all this food" glances (to my delight lah).
And later on the way to the car she started trying to justify why her luggage was so heavy going like "You people living in M'sia don't have so many of this and that food, how do you expect me to not bring them for you. I know you said you want 1kg only but aiya bring 1kg and 5kg whats the difference never mind lah come come just put it in put it in."
Haha.
The main point here is.
She's doing better.
And I'm so glad.... :D
Yes, that does mean I've been blogging elsewhere. Muahahahaha.

But now, on her second visit. The moment she got out of the arrival hall she was all chirpy and stuff. She was complaining non-stop about how the custom lady was "inconveniencing" her (you know lah old aunties), about how she's glad to be finally "let free" yada yada. Then she immediately opened her luggages and start giving me and my brother all the food she brought for us and kept giving my mom the "I don't care what you say I'm still gonna give them all this food" glances (to my delight lah).
And later on the way to the car she started trying to justify why her luggage was so heavy going like "You people living in M'sia don't have so many of this and that food, how do you expect me to not bring them for you. I know you said you want 1kg only but aiya bring 1kg and 5kg whats the difference never mind lah come come just put it in put it in."
Haha.
The main point here is.
She's doing better.
And I'm so glad.... :D

If people say you're crazy, be patient.
If they say you're a monkey, relax.
If they say you're stupid, be cool.
But if they say "Wow, you're cute!".....
Slap them! They're lying!

Gentlemen Prefers Blondes
A man being rich is like a lady being pretty. You won't marry her for it but it sure doesn't hurt that she is, does it?

I Never Promised You A Ray of Light
My birthday is near. In case none of you realised... It's like... I don't really know what day today is. I know it's Wednesday lah cause it's basketball day but I meant I don't know the date so I can't really calculate how far my birthday is from now.
Hmm... Can't decide what I want from my parents for it. Maybe some peace of mind would be good. Truth is I don't have anything I want. Well, nothing that money can buy me anyway.
In case any of you are miracle workers, here's what I want.
I want good knees so I can continue playing basketball for the rest of my life.
I want my wrist injury to heal. NOW.
I want my back to stop acting up and affecting me playing basketball.
There're all related to basketball ain't it.... Actually there is something I want that money can buy. I want a basketball. A really good one that has a good and light feel to it. But that's something I'm not going to ask anybody to buy for me. Don't trust my parents to know what a good feel to a ball means.
Another thing I would like is to be playing in a basketball tourney. Gosh I miss being in competitions..
School's gonna start in less than a month. After 2 months of can't wait to get back to all my friends, I'm wishing it doesn't come too fast now.
Life.
Sucks.
