You Should Learn French



C'est super! You appreciate the finer things in life... wine, art, cheese, love affairs.

You are definitely a Parisian at heart. You just need your tongue to catch up...

Tuesday, April 24, 2007

Have you ever wondered about our existence?
Have you ever wondered about our comprehension of things, why we even understand anything at all?
Our purpose of living? One's purpose of living?
Why homo sapiens becomes intelligent faster than other animals?

I'm sure, that some of us has given them some thought, but didn't go deep.
Some of us, just couldn't give a damn to think about it.
The rest like me, will donate a lot of our time, to prod about this.

Majority of the human race (90%) would baselessly point towards the existence of a supreme being. Because the mystery of our existence could not be explained scientifically.

I do not think that way. The theory of creation and the existence of a god isn't appealing to me, it doesn't even look logical to me. I've met people who tried to convince me in this, and I was, too, happy to listen. He presented a very strong argument, which is why the laws of physics are that way? Why is it that there is a law of physics, that every particle in the universe obeys? There must be someone to organise it. He then used a piece of paper to show me, "the words and letters are arranged properly, isn't it logical that somebody HAS arranged them?".

Well he has a point, but that surely can be explained in the future, has something got to do with the super-symmetry breaking down into the 4 forces.

Then I posed a question to him,
I asked, "If God created this world and everything, who created him?".
He answered, "God is just BE, he has been always there."
"If He just BE, why can't the universe just BE too? If God created us, someone must have created God, and that someone who created God must be created by another person, Right?"

He couldn't provide me with a reasonable answer. Currently science is also unable to provide us with a satisfactory answer.

When will we get the answer? Will we be enlightened about life itself after that? Can the meaning of life be written down in a mathematical equation? Will it make us better people after that?

Only time can tell, no?

You Are Pretty Logical



You're a bit of a wizard when it comes to logic

While you don't have perfect logic, you logic is pretty darn good

Keep at it - you've got a lot of natural talent in this area!

You Should Rule Mercury



Close to sun, Mercury has very long days - and is rarely visible to the rest of the solar system.



You are perfect to rule Mercury, because you live for the present - and can truly enjoy a day that goes on forever.

Like Mercury, you are quick and elusive. Your wit is outstanding, and you can win any verbal sparring match.



Some people see you as superficial, but in truth, you just play many roles and have many interests.

A great manipulator, you usually get what you want from people. And they're happy to give it to you.

Book review: A briefer history of time

Yay, finished this book titled "A briefer history of time", some sort of 2nd version of "A brief history of time". I just got this mood to write a book review today, but actually I've read this kind of books like girls reading horny comics.

Here's the coverpage . This book is authored by Stephen Hawking<-- check out this guy> and co-author Leonard Mlodinow.

This book is a collection of generalised ideas of modern physics, which is ideal for non-geeks. You can find gists of quantum theory, general relativity, special relativity and so on. After the conclusion you can find Stephen Hawking's description of 3 prominent physicists namely Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei and Issac Newton.

There are quite some interesting facts about the 3 physicists. There was an anti-Einstein organisation, people threatened to kill him. Einstein said, "Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity."

Hawking expresses Issac Newton as "WAS NOT A PLEASANT man". His general social relations were awful with other scholars, resulting the later part of his life drowning in disputes. His biggest contributions are the theory of gravity and Principia Mathematica. There were other unknown facts that I didn't know.

They say that "A brief history of time" has sold for dunno how many million copies, about 1 book for every 5 people, man, woman, and child on earth. WOW.

For further reading, I recommend the following books Parallel Worlds by Michio Kaku and his other books. You can read "A brief history of time" also if you wish to.



AND I WANT TO WATCH THE MOVIE SUNSHINE!!! Jing Hao wants to watch it too!! Yay! It is SOOO appealing to me!!!
There was a young lady of Wight
Who traveled much faster than light.
She departed one day,
In a relative way,
And arrived on the previous night.

Nice limerick isn't it?

Tuesday, April 03, 2007

Ohho, today I got to know that I had won the I & E competition, the 2 questions one? Well, it was crap, I got the answer when I was looking at it after lunch during my pre-spec camp.

Guess what they gave me? Wasn't really bad, it was a $10? capitavoucher for use in capitaland shopping centres? Not bad though, to get such a prize for such a competition.

How to Make Candy Sushi



Do you need an idea for a creative dessert? How about making this treat that looks like sushi but is made entirely of candy. Use some creativity, this picture, and pictures of real sushi to create a tasty dessert.

Steps

Sushi #1

  1. Place a strip of Fruit by the Foot (or a thin strip of Fruit Roll-Up) on your working space.
  2. Place a Swedish fish in the center.
  3. Cut a mini-donut in half and place this on the Swedish fish.
  4. Wrap the ends of the Fruit by the Foot around the fish and donut.
    Enlarge

Sushi #2

  1. Wrap a strip of the Fruit by the Foot around a marshmallow.
  2. Place the marshmallow on its end.
  3. Cut a jelly bean in half and place it on the marshmallow, inside facing up.
  4. Cut some small pieces of liquorice so that they look like small balls or fish eggs and place them around the jelly bean half.
    Enlarge

Sushi #3

  1. Using a knife, carefully carve a hole in the middle of a marshmallow.
  2. Thread some liquorice through the center of the marshmallow.
  3. Wrap a strip of the fruit roll-up around the marshmallow.


Tips

  • Use some strawberry, caramel, or chocolate syrup like soy sauce.
  • Make Thai Sticky Rice (Below) and use in place of the marshmallow or mini-donut.


Things You'll Need

  • Fruit by the Foot or Fruit Roll-Ups (preferably green)
  • Mini powdered donuts
  • Swedish fish
  • Pull and Peel licorice
  • Marshmallows
  • Jelly beans
  • Strawberry, caramel, or chocolate syrup.
  • Knife


Thai Sticky Rice

  • 2 cups glutinous (sticky) rice, soaked in cold water for at least one hour and drained
  • 1 1/4 cups coconut milk, canned or freshly prepared
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 Tblsp. of sugar

In a saucepan bring to a boil: rice, coconut milk, salt, sugar and 1 1/4 cup water. Stir. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, about 8-10 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Transfer rice to a steamer or double saucepan and steam 15-20 minutes over boiling water, until rice is cooked through. Mold the cooked rice into a 1/2 inch thick square and cut into shapes for recipe.
