oh bother.
u noe wat they say about melbourne having 4 seasons in a day? well, i'm here to say that its REALLY true. no contrasting opinions this time.
woke up to a relatively sunny day. was even contemplating whether to wear a skirt. luckily i decided against it. cos in the afternoon it turned really gloomy and started to rain! was at the campus centre so i had to run all the way to another building for the next lecture. the unfortunate thing was, i fell while running n thus soaked my jeans even more. stupid sandal la, no grip. wet jeans definitely dun feel gd. it started to rain again when we were halfway through walking back to halls. lucky for the gals, the ever so gentlemanly guys gave up their umbrellas and jackets for us. thanks guys! as feminist as i am, how can we survive without the guys man. or actually, more rightly put, we CAN survive without them, but maybe we'll jus be surviving. ;p
just read finish 'the solitaire mystery' by jostein gaarder, the author of 'sophies world'. these philosophical bks, are really imaginative and stimulating. i liked a few concepts in the bk, esp those tt left me in awe about the mind's capacity to create.
it is true, that if our brains were simple enough for us to understand, we would be so stupid we wouldnt be able to understand it after all. and that, ppl who are satisfied with what they know can never be philosophers.
i noe my ideas are jumping around cos i'm jus collating bits n pieces from the bk. but just chew on this. you think about a fren just before he calls u on the telephone or arrives on the doorstep. many ppl think this is a coincidence. but u think about this fren even if he doesnt ring the doorbell. moreover, he calls u quite often, without u having thot about him at all. the thing is, ppl collect those instances when both things happen at the same time and make a big hooha about it. now now, is it really THAT coincidental?
and heres another one. a russian cosmonaut and a russian brain surgeon were once discussing christianity. the brain surgeon was christian, but the cosmonaut wasnt. 'i hav been to outer space many times,' bragged the cosmonaut, 'but i've never seen any angels.' the brain surgeon stared in amazement, but then he said, 'and i hav operated on many intelligent brains, but i hav nver seen a single thought.'
as long as we are children, we have the ability to experience things around us. notice that children are always in awe about the world around them? but then we grow used to the world. living becomes a habit. to grow up is to get drunk on sensual experience. we shld never, never live like that.
