"its alright to have butterflies in your stomach. just make sure they fly in formation"
- Robert Gillbert


sure he's got a damn sad surname-and-first-name combination, but hell its a good quote :)



watched the Passion with Grace today ( as i asked her, how DID i end up watching a movie with her? we cldnt work that one out). anyway. my God. the movie is mindblowing, heartwrenching, horrifying and great. it really is.
my faith too is greatly strengthened after watching it.


aren't we all stupid? i wanted so bad to quit teaching at Hougang, and now that the day when i teach my last lesson is finally approaching i find myself feeling sad and depressed.

oh fickle beings that we are.


"instead, i let it slip past
not really giving two cents
it aint worth it really.
"were friends". past tense. "

was reading thru old blog entries n this one caught my eye. doesnt mean anything. just thought it was a nice bit of rhyme.

"Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers
A pack of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked
Peter screwed that pack of pickled peppers
Coz he's a fucking fag, you see. he's sick. "

that one too :)


does everything that has a beginning have an end? i'm trying to think of things which are initiated but dont stop.

ah HA! one of Newton's Laws of Motion: once a force is applied to an object, that object continues in a straight line in the direction of the force applied until another force acts on it.

SO, in space, away from friction, if one applies a force to, say, a tennis ball, it will move onwards forever. and since space is infinitely large (oh come on it SO is) the ball, conceivably at least, can travel forever.

except that if space is infinitely large, there are also an infinite number of stars and planets. so the ball's BOUND to hit something.

but then again quantum uncertainty dictates that we cant tell whether the ball DOES hit something unless we actually are there to OBSERVE it hitting something.

so its quite simple! we simply claim to have "pressing engagements elsewhere", thus avoiding any appointment with observation, and we can then safely assume our heroic tennis ball is somewhere out there, bravely travelling ever onwards.

QED.

quantum physics and astronomy ya'll. go check it out, seriously.
