31 december WIeRDzoRR...I just thought of something very interesting...A product of my idle mind which isn't idle because I'm constantly using my grey matter...
So here it is...Physical laws, they bind everything and everyone to them. We cant fly because of gravity and we can't run faster than the speed of sound because our muscles don't allow us to. All because of physical laws. Cause and effect. I punch you and you will feel pain. And it will always be such. You are constrained to this physical law that you must feel pain. But only when I hit you. Cause and effect. Now...where do these physical laws come from? They couldn't have just "popped" into existence. v=u+at was not present at the beginning of the universe. OUr universe has a beginning. These physical laws couldn't have come before the universe. They are not the alpha and the omega so where do they come from?
Alright, so our universe is created with these physical laws. It's together in the package. God made these physical laws for what? Why feel pain when struck? Why do we not feel hot or cold? Because of this physical law! But why so? WHy in this way? What is the PURPOSE for doing so? Are we not God's creation? What about the ones before us? Are there any before us? If there are, are they constrained by the same physical laws God set for us? Alright...putting all that aside, the next question is: Is God himself constrained by these physical laws?
But he can't right? He made these laws and now they're controlling him? Sounds impossible right? But wait. When he first created the earth, it was perfect but when Adam and eve sinned, it was tarnished and they had to be kicked out of the garden of Eden and they were no longer eternals(live forever). Sin is defined as not conforming to God's laws and decrees. And as everyone knows Sin brings death hence Adam and Eve would die at a certain age. STOP! Look here, we have a cause and effect. Sin leads to death. Is this a physical law? Why MUST sin lead to death? Because our righteous God cannot live with the sinful. Why not? Is it because God is limited to a physical law that does not allow him to live with the unholy? Or is it because he doesn't want to, or commonly known as his soveirgn choice?
However, we do know that God is able to control or somewhat "modify" these physical laws. In the past we know that high priests who enter the holy of holies without being properly cleansed, will die immediately when being in contact with God. However, when God revealed himself to Saul, the would-be Paul, he did not die but however, he went blind and had to seek the prophet Annanias(I don't know if his name is spelt correctly so my apologies if it is) to cure him, however, the prophet could only do so through the Lord's power, which means God can undo what he had done. So when it seems that the physical law, all who come in physical contact with God will surely face certain "injuries", can be undone. But how do you undo a physical law. It is fixed and will never change. If I am hurt by a knife, another cut will not heal it. Which means that God is not controlled by this supposed physical law but is instead his soveirgn choice.
A wierd thought that deserves further thinking, any enlightment of comment is greatly appreciated 29 december Intriguing...Destiny awaits...I just got Mr Boyo's email and I know who's my T42 mentor...(I am compelled to vall him Boyo because in VS there's Boko, so for old times sake...haha) And it's my UNCLE!!!

Haha, now that is a code in itself. 25 december A year has passedAh...a year has finally passed. The years of our youth is fading and our end draws nearer...On the other hand...we cleared IP1 and stupid imagineering. Woot! But this year hasn't been all fun and games. Good things must come to an end and bad things always seem to last forever...
>>>A reflection of year 06
Every Arbiter is created and consumed in times of extroadinary crisis
An Arbiter has been made amongst us...
TRUTH: The Council decided to have you hung by your entrails and your corpse paraded through the city. But, ultimately, the terms of your execution are up to me. ELITE COMMANDER: I am already dead. TRUTH: Indeed. Do you know where we are? ELITE COMMANDER: The Mausoleum of the Arbiter. TRUTH: Quite so. Here rests the vanguard of the Great Journey. Every Arbiter, from first to last. Each one created and consumed in times of extraordinary crisis. MERCY: The Taming of the Hunters, the Grunt Rebellion . . . Were it not for the Arbiters, the Covenant would have broken long ago! ELITE COMMANDER: Even on my knees I do not belong in their presence. TRUTH: Halo's destruction was your error, and you rightly bear the blame. But the Council was . . . overzealous. We know you are no heretic. This is the true face of heresy, one who would subvert our faith and incite rebellion against the High Council. Truth presses a button on his chair, and a miniature hologram of an Elite in different equipment appears. HERETIC LEADER: Our Prophets are false! Open your eyes, my brothers! They would use the faith of our Forefathers to bring ruin to us all! The Great Journey is- Truth cuts off the hologram. TRUTH: This heretic, and those who follow him, must be silenced. MERCY: Their slander offends all who walk the Path. ELITE COMMANDER: What use am I? I can no longer command ships, lead troops into battle- TRUTH: Not as you are. But become the Arbiter . . . And you shall be set loose against this heresy, with our blessing. A large container pod floats into the center of the room, opening to reveal a suit of ancient armor surrounded by white light. The Elite stares at this for a moment, before turning back to Truth.
ELITE COMMANDER: What of the Council? MERCY: The tasks you must undertake as the Arbiter are perilous, suicidal. You will die, as each Arbiter has before you. The Council will have their corpse. The Elite rises, and walks toward the armor. He pauses before it, and looks to the pods containing the corpses of the Arbiters who fell before him. He reaches up and takes the helmet of the Arbiter, and places it upon his head, then looks to the Hierarchs. ARBITER: What would you have your Arbiter do? He lives to regret these words...He goes on to learn that there was no "human annihilation", a lie from the prophets to bring satisfaction from the council with it their loyalty. There was one who doubted the prophets. Sesa 'Refumee was his name. However he was branded a heretic and the blade of the Prophets and the council fell heavily on him. The Arbiter was dispatched to silence him and all who walk his path. Nevertheless, Tartarus, chieftain of the brutes slayed the heretic leader as the Arbiter hesitated to smite his wounded foe with his energy sword. Tartarus went back to High Charity claiming the head of the heretic leader as his own. The prophets and the council rejoiced at his victory but the Elites were ashamed and turned their faces from their once respected Arbiter. And there was news. News that the prophet of Regret has been slain by the humans. The whole of the covenant mourned for the loss of its noble hierach. All except the Prophet of Truth and Tartarus, who allowed this incident to happen. Using the death of a hierach as an excuse, tartarus and his brutes overthrew the Elites as Guardians and Protectors of the Covenant. A civil war emerged but the Brutes easily put down the "rebellion". The Arbiter, however was not one to be shaken by failure. Soon, he was given a new task. A task so great that accomplishment would mean salvation for all the covenant. Failure was not an option. Again, he led his brave Elites into battle and swept away any enemy that stood in the way but Tartarus was waiting again, waiting to claim the prize as his own, which he did. However, Tartarus did not intend to allow the Arbiter to live, lest he start an uprising against the Brutes. He pushed the Arbiter into the abyss and left for High Charity where honor and glory await him. Nevertheless, the Arbiter survived and with advice from the Gravemind, he went on his own journey together with his sub-ordinate, Half Jaw, are silently and secretly trying to overthrow the Brutes and restore peace and order within the covenant and the council even till this day. However the Brutes and the Prophet of Truth still reign over what's left of the covenant. Little does the Prophet of Truth realise, Tartarus will one day overthrow the prophets and he himself will be Lord of the covenant... 18 december Korean FrenzyI'm back from tiring Korea...Woot! Nothing like good ol' Singapore. I can't stand Korean food much longer...ANyway here are the chronicles of my 8 day trip to Korea. (Actually if you add up the hours it was only 7 days. It was a bluff)
So, nothing much to report, other than the fantastic SKI experience. WootZOR...I have never skied in me life and this is me first time. Bloody hell the ski boots are friggin heavy and when you wear them you look like terran marines (if you play starcraft) and make you walk around like peons and peasants (if you play warcraft). And when you wear the skis...the weight on your feet is tremendous. Skiing downslope is downright fun (mind the pun) but going upslope to go downslope is exhausting...10 minutes to get up for 10 seconds of wind in your face. And we can't take the chairlift up because we're not pro enough. But over-all it was fantastic and a good experience. I can ski now. Woots next time I won't be braking by falling and tumbling all over the place. (My Dad did a flip when he fell) (Lollerskates)
I thing I have to comment is about Korean food. U know what is "gelat" right? At first you eat like very shiok then u keep eating the same thing...and the same thing...and the same thing...geez, it never stops. I think in Korea all they have is "barbeque", steamboat, noodles and Kimchi. That's it. All they do is cook it ina different way but it always resembles each other. Talk about family resemblence. And Korea is FLOODED with Kimchi. It's sour and spicy and it's a vegetable. Not my taste. And I'll never forget how some goon actually bought 6 kilos of Kimchi at a kimchi making "showroom" we visited. WHAT THE??? He's going to die of Kimchi poisoning. Hopefully he gives some away. Other than being flooded with Kimchi, Korea is flooded with SEAWEED!!! Woots! Heavenly food. All kinds. The kind u put in soups, the salted ones and every kind imaginable. Even better is that whenever u go for a meal, there's seaweed! Korean meals are intriguing. They consist of a main meal which will be your steamboat etc and there will be alot of side dishes which consist of disgusting Kimchi and heavenly seaweed and assorted vegetables and mushrooms. Best of all, these side dishes are FREE FLOW! Which means MORE SEAWEED!!! But of course don't take too much until you cannot eat. Koreans are very picky when it comes to wasting food.
Talking about picky...guess what their toothpicks are made up of. Koreans are SO environmentally friendly that they want to save the pandas by not making bamboo toothpicks. They make POTATO toothpicks!!! WTH?? They compress the potato starch till it becomes a hard solid toothpick that is slightly soluble in saliva. It's quite sharp actually. An amazing feat. So technically you CAN kill someone with a potato. A potato toothpick! hahahahahahaha...Talking about their environmental friendliness...you have to pay 50 won for a plastic bag. S$0.08 is enough to put off my parents not getting a plastic bag. Wierd. Singapore should start selling plastic bags instaed of raising GST.
Koreans have a very interesting outlook on theme parks. Not that they made me suddenly enjoy roller coasters which I still hate to the core...but they certainly do the wierdest things. Number one, I feel that the employees at the theme parks are very enthusiastic. Maybe it's personal motivation or motivation from money or motivation from a previous scolding from the boss. They constantly sing and dance to entertain the crowd. Even the ones chopping your tickets. They smile sing and dance. Very entertaining but I'd rather be a cleaner there than do their job. It's tiring and after a while it feels very fake. Number two, shucks I forgot what number two was...darn
I think that's all until I can remember more things to put down.
so
>>>to be continued
>>> >>>If I want to...
>>> >>> >>>Muahaha
PS. I really saw penguins and polar bears in Korea. I think they came over because the Artic was too cold. They now live in enclosures in a theme park...Hahahahha
10 december Finger spasms...I am at the airport now, singapore side and there's this internet station so i'm very inclined to use it so here I am...blogging about....erm...nothing. actually I feel very dead. It's 12:20 in the morning and I'm super dead but i'm looking very forward to the magic road in korea. The funny slope where things roll upwards. lollerskates...and the skiiing too. So here I am hailing fromn Singapore's best airport, actually only one hahaz, so GG man GG. Hope I come back in one piece. I sense a bad omen but all's well ends well. So Cya all soon 09 december FreeezeZOR...Hai! As I know...I'm going to Korea today so if any requests for items to get in Korea please tell me before 2200 hours today. So a few words about Korea, it's (&#@>!?*&# cold. 0 - 5 degrees. WTH?? freezeZOR... that's all. Hahaz. It's very cold out there. I hope to see penguins and polar bears 08 december LOL = Laugh out loud
05 december Holidays galoreYawn it's been a day since I came back from thailand and I'm still so sleepy. I can't be blamed of course. Blame the wacky sailing team. Anyway it's been a long holiday for me. I'll just briefly record the stuff that happened.
27-28th november
I went to volunteer at the Vacation Bible School (VBS) at me church for the kids in our church from K1 to sec 1. I seriously pity the sec 1s and the older students. I personally feel that the camp was not properly planned because they decided to clump people of such wide age groups together. However for the bible classes they were split accordingly but for games...ahem...let's say they were not "as enthusiastic" about it. So as part of the Youth Federation in me church I went to volunteer as games master marshall whatever...First day was station games and I was assigned to group 2. The best group ever, lol. All my kids were very enthu and cooperative all though because they were enthu they got really high and sometimes they were abit out of control. They were running from station to station, I couldn't be very much bothered about it because we were going to meet up at the same place again anyway but my sec 1 student who was the pastor's daughter (WoHo, don't much around) who had a more...erm...motherly was taking care of them...for me...I feel so useless around kids. But oh well, I can tell their love for me. They were all clinging on to my legs and didn't let go and stuff. Yep, I was TALL enough and they kindergarten and P1 kids were SHORT enough to do that without much discomfort. I got tau-poked by them but of course you can't throw them off your back. Very delicate stuff. My sec 1 student was laughing away. Mesa tell yousa, don't laugha so soona cauze when yousa old enuf to goings intooz day whyeff, day sameh things happendz to yousa. Anyway there was this game which was worth remembering, a face-off with the kids. There were 2 people allowed in the "ring" marked out with masking tape and each has a towel in his/pocket and you have to snatch it away from the other person to win. Cool game. I was playing with some of the brothers before the games started. Quite rough and a hell of a fast game. Speed, agility and wit. So the rule was that I "spar" with the guys in my group and the girls will "spar" with the station master posted there who was of course a girl. I don't want to be ripping a girl's skirt off if that would happen. big IF. anyway I played 3 rounds. won 1, lost two. I lost the first one because I gave chance. SERIOUS! They were so little I could've just picked them up and pulled the towel away but I can't do that right? So I let the little dude win. But of course the kids didn't know I was giving chance and started taunting me. SO things were about to get really ugly...
The wistle was blown the clock ticking. I had 3 minutes to pull the towel away from this litle critter. He had an evil smile on his face. Actually he smiles all the time, just that it looks evil now. He rushed for me and I dodged it easily. I faced him again contemplating his next move. He rushed forward again and I dived to the left with my back on the floor and with his back facing me. The yellow towel was glowing I leapt and snatched it from him. The battle was over, I emerged victorious. WooHoo! Then suddenly the game head came into the room and told us to wrap up the game for it was getting late. Everyone gave the "don't want leh..." look, especially the guys who were dying to kill me. So I gave them this challenge. one versus three. Me against 3 kids. I thought I would've won but heck, one guy protected the guy with the towel, the other came charging at me. Since the other two didn't have towels, I couldn't get them out of the game. SHit, the battle was won in an instant. crap, kindergaten and primary school kids...trust them to come up with a strategy like that without even negotiating. It was like instinct to them. Must be playing too many games...tsk..tsk...
So that pretty much wraps up the VBS. Adorable innocent kids and the cooler older students...I could remember my time in VBS. I was hm...P4-5? And they were treating me like some kindergarten kid. I was so angry and I vowed to end that. I guess I kept my vow.
Thailand sports trip 29 nov - 4 dec
Ok thailand was a very long and interesting trip and I can't possibly write down everything so I'll just write down the interesting events and stuff.
1. Island hopping was damn fun, one of the islands was surrounded in sea-urchins and I almost picked up a stone fish. I was looking around for stones to skip on the water and was digging them out of the sea-bed with my bootes. Then I saw this wierd looking "rock" that looked like a fish, but looked more like a rock than a fish so I gave it a prod with my bootes before picking it up and the thing just swam away. THANK goodness...whew. I was told it was a stonefish later on... We also visited a turtle farm where they grow turtles to put back in the wild. And they frow REAL sea turtles. I personally haven't seen one. They had the little baby turtles which aren't bigger than your plam and the HUGE mega mutant ninja turtles that are over a metre big. I was told they could grow up to 2 metres. Kickass turtles. Sice they aren't in the sea, they don't have barnacles all over them so you could feel their shells and flippers. Scaly,smooth, cool. They had nice patterns on their shells too, haiz, wish you were here.
2. I was walking along a pavement in pattaya talking with the other guys about cars and nitro when the dumbest thing happened. I stepped into concrete. Liquid concrete. I went ARGH! because my right sandal was half covered in concrete and I don't wash it off soon, the concrete will probably join the sandal to my foot. I went around hunting for a water outlet and was washing my sandal at every puddle of water I saw. Eww...
3. Cards cards cards...We were always playing cards bridge and taiti. They owned me in bridge but I owned them in taiti. Wilbur was so bad at taiti that he had quite a few losing streaks. I had losing streaks for bridge almost all the time. The scums were good alright. Don't muck with them. They'll own you at poker too.
4. The last night spent in Thailand was the most intersting night. The whole sailing team succumbed to the will of a bottle of vodka and was doing loads of stupid things. I was tired and went to sleep before the madness broke out. I still kept to my no alcohol rule although I had one shot, just to try it out. Made me pee like free. Bloody alcohol sucks all the water out from your gut and makes you feel very hot inside. Wonder why people still drink it. Ming and David were all red in the face. Andrea wasn't red but she went mad. Of course they told me about everything when I got up in the morning.
5. The tuk-tuks in thailand are crazy. We managed to cram 4 guys into one tuk-tuk to get back into the hotel. So one poor guy had to sit on our feet perpendicular to our bodies on the floor. Perhaps it was the weight that made the tuk-tuk do this but apparently it wasn't. Because the bloody thing did a wheelie and scared the shit out of us. It was at a traffic light. The tuk-tuk stopped at a red light and when it turned green, the driver jammed the accelrator but it didn't budge, so he did it again and again and WHOOM! The thing did a wheelie and zoomed off. We were all swearing in the tuk-tuk. @(&%#%!$*^@%#$ ?*^# When we reached the hotel, we told the others about our adventure and they were so entertained. I was scared stiff. The driver was still there and he said," YOu want I show you again!" Three brave souls immediately rushed into the tuk-tuk and the driver did it again and the three brave souls came out swearing as well. What a ride! Wish you were here.
6. I witnessed the most spastic bargain ever. Our captain Ming was looking at this fantstic belt which was good quality too, I was told that the owner burnt the belt in front of them and nothing happened, meaning it was good stuff. Ming managed to bring the price from 1200 baht to 300 baht. Baht...I mean...but guess what, he suddenly changed his mind. His excuse to the poor auntie was "my heart pain lah, my heart pain" (*&%*>I&%@???? I would've taken it if I wore jeans. Anyway the whole time I was hunting around for the christmas exchange gift for the class chalet, don't forget hor...I want a present too. I got mine for her at chatchuchack if that's how you spell it but it still needs a personal touch to it. I couldn't find a good present for the exchange though. All I could think of was camping stuff but i don't think it'll be much appreciated. But HECK! It's my present to others right? It needs to remind the person of me. SInce I don't know who that person is...I'll give that person a...a...hm...I don't know...
So that pretty sums up all the spastic, interesting and wacky stuff that happened during the holidays. I'll be going to Korea soon so don't miss the next entry on Korea, if I get back alive. So anyway the lucky person whos getting a present from me during the exchange...it's very likely your present is going to be from Korea. KIMCHI!!! Muahahahahaha! I'm not that bad lah, hahaz... |
