Resolutions.
sorry, lame joke
From 2009:
1. Consume nothing but water for 4 days. In January.
Didn't do it. The guilt had me recording my meals for months at a time, though. That's.. Jan 15 - Apr 24 and a briefer Sep 5 to Nov 20. And the only day where I actually did consume nothing but water was April 24th.
2. Obtain at least two As somewhere. Anywhere.
Math, 2.4km run.
5. (and this is from resolutions 2007..) To print out a Multiplication table to the 100s, and an Exponentiation table to the 12s.
Nope. Still nope! >:o
6. More than 1000 in the bank by March. Need to save, man.
Success.
Time for 2010.
1: B-standard for H2 Economics by July.
2: Be in the comfort zone for all subjects by mid-June.
3: Start running regularly again.
4: Be aquaintanced with at least 4 juniors that are non-judo.
5: As for As.
6: Secure my choice of path beyond JC.
Engineering? Architecture? Product design? Science? Writing? Math? Need to keep my mind open lest I find something I didn't know I wanted to do.
7: Read a German book with full comprehension.
8: Read a Mandarin book beyond the primary 3 level with full comprehension.
Kay, that's all for now.
Twenty-Ten, ahoy.
(I realise that if you add up all the digits of 2010, it's another instance of the number 3 in my life. Huzzah.)

Booouff
Like a tether.
Bringin' ya back.
Down.
To the world again.
Face down,
nose down
to the grindstone
Go.

Play
Imagine being cursed with eternal life, eternal wakefulness and eternal immobility.
Like being a rock, but with a mind. (Or soul?)
If you had eyes to look at something, I figure they'd be ignored eventually. You can only look at something so long before disacknowledging (goodness this is an ugly word) it completely.
Same for smell. For taste. Hearing. Touch, even. All washed away in the infinity of your mind.
But what would you do?
What could you do?
Stuck with your head forever.
Imagine?

A Series of Good Throws.
My gentle-sloping ascent. Ascension.
Odd idea: Imagine an immortal humanity. The problem with that would naturally be.. overpopulation. So such humans would need to have their ability to reproduce taken from them, if the planet wishes to survive. But then what? The same family of humans on Earth would stay there indefinitely? How about..
nature only allowing humankind to reproduce (to make new people) once they've done something. Fulfilled a certain quota for nature before they can peacefully pass on their genes and leave Earth themselves.
Still not sure what I wanna make that, though. True love, ala Groundhogs Day? Or... meeting a certain number of people from the rest of the population? Bla.
First post of December.
Kay, kay Vietnam.
Uh, Vietnam was pretty awesome. Serene dearth of people on the streets of Vung tau, and there was something about Ho Chih Minh that made me happy. I'm not sure what. Nice place.
Fun trip with the relatives overall. :D
Avatar was fantastic. Beautiful designs for the flora and fauna. And a good experiment for the part of my brain that practices empathy, as I told S. Lots of polar characters' shoes to put yourself in. Simple story, but well presented.
Christmas. I wish I went out or something! Pretty mundane xmas this year.
It says I typed this on the 15th, but I really did this in parts. So it's my post for the whole of December, sort've. So the lower down the text, the later I typed it.
I just want a room. A silent room. With blank, metal walls and a wooden table and chair. and all my notes and questions and assignments for all my subjects. And for me to just stay there for like.. 3 days. No food, just water. And derive what knowledge I can from all those papers in those 3 days. Then leave the room, a nd continue on from there.
I await the day that knowledge can be downloaded into our brains, including practical knowledge. School would be more engaging. Insert sigh here.
Ha, I remember when I typed 'My gentle-sloping ascent'. Hee.
What do you do when you can do everything?
It's time to reel in that empty hook, throw the line back into the waters. If I was typing the blogpost now, it would have the title "Keep Fishing."
