Evolution - Viewing its littlest details.

Well you see, we are shaped by our own social network, community, and population.
Our own human race. We have a skill that adapts us to this human arena so that we can fit in with the rest, to be accepted for that particular moment, that particular generation, and time.

I view it this way.

Doing the right thing will be determined if the whole, if not most, human population accepts it as the right thing. Owning a VW car makes you look great if the community thinks that VW cars are great. Having The Eagles Albums in your CD-racks is the “in” thing if most of the population view it that way.

Influence? Pressure? Shame? Pride? Geedubadupapbub?
I’m not entirely sure, seriously. xD

But one thing’s for sure, that’s our survival instincts.

Moving on, with the above concepts in mind, can we always trust our instincts and follow every word it whispers into our hearts?

One word has some relativity with this topic. COOL. As in the hot, non-cold cool, the dress and behave cool. It’s subjective. And it behaves according to the community. Slowly but surely, continuously changing and adapting. Blue at a point of time, and then red at the next hour.

In the 19th-20th century and for example, being cool is similar to Elvis-like cool. Those whose hairs are combed ultra-neatly and as though they’re polished with turtle-wax, whose eyes are huge tainted shades that cover the top of their faces, whose right leg strides into the left side and left leg strides into the right side [similar to catwalking], they’re mostly nicked as the cool people. Raising up their collars, owning Chevy Corvettes or roofless VW cars are night chics-hookers for them. Well of course, there are dozens of other cool factors, but I’m not an expert in this interest.

That’s because the community in that era view it that way.

And take look at the cool factors now. Early 21st Century Cool. Those whose hairs are art pieces like the Theatres on the Bay itself, and as hard as bass guitar strings – kudos to their wax, whose legs are always stretching out and reaching for space – kudos to their skinnies, and whose outfits are mostly hoodies [while last time, long before the inspirational Rocky Movie, the hoodie's element of instant anonymity, provided by the accessible hood, appealed to those with criminal intent]. Oh, btw, a friend of mine and I saw this couple wearing animated neon shirts in CBD. One displays the time, and the other animates a smiling and winking Mickey Mouse. That is so, surprising.

No, I’m not criticizing the 21st century cool or having any grudge against anything.

All I’m saying is that evolution is taking place – kudos to the community. If a group of people declare them as cool, then it is, cool, for them at least.

A scenario:
~~~
It’s the 22nd century. Technology has inclined so much that reading paper books is a waste of time and energy. The reason? There are holographic videos that support education and story-telling purposes.

Small groups of teenage boys are at a park, reading books.

Boy A sends an SMS to some of his friends which states,

“Hey Dude, you gotss to try reading books in front of everyone. It’s so cool that it will boost your self-esteem man! C’mon, join us. If we’re lucky, some girls will have a seat with us. C’mon! Don’t be a jerk.”

As months pass by, more and more teens, and now, adults, are trying their best to find some spare time, reading books in the park. It’s cool, they say.

Years later, this act of reading books in the public is popular that it has been a global influence.
~~~

Haha. Don’t Laugh. It’s possible you know?
If you still say it isn’t possible, think about this.

Previously in the 19th-20th century, cool is being smart-looking. Anyone whose hairs are chaotic replicas of the Statue of Liberty, wonders around with torn pants, wearing a raincoat like outfit although it’s the summer’s blazing-hot tropical weather, they’re stereotyped as… odd, street-hobos, strange – uncool?

But now? It’s different. Back then, some of them also thinks it’s not possible.

Maybe one day, a group of youths will be daring enough to add another factor into the definition of being cool – wearing shirts inside out. Who knows?

Maybe it’s about influence afterall. But definitely, survival.

To view things as contrastingly as possible, view cool people as a different species of human. [once again, no grudge here nor trying to be rude] Different species of animals have different ways of behaving and appearance to live life, and most importantly, to survive. A species of frogs in the Amazon Forest rotate their right hands round and round to question the opposite gender, “Hey, wanna go steady?” Male Lions will stage themselves infront of a lioness, and will fight to see who’s the deserving father-to-be. Most crickets divert most of their life-energy into the recognized “kriiiiiiiiinncckkkk” ringing sounds, to call for attention. How bout some of us, humans? Through my eyes, I see numerous distinctive groups of people.


Warning: For those who can take crud humour and serious sarcasms only.

Some smoke to attract those who like those who smoke although they’re wasting money, their precious health and give greetings to their smoking BOs.

Some excessively spray cologne and deos which may make others frown due to excessive pleasure.

Some list down every single achievement they’ve got and will make others think as though they’re the daily newscasters discussing about the stock market.

Some are good at games to attract the gamers of the opposite gender. Oops, they also have fun cyber-bullying other people and have chimm-trash-talks to those players with poor English, asking them to quit and stop being a PCseat-potato.

Some excessively take pics of themselves and show them to the whole world.
[some are very lucky to have good-looking faces, while some are, not so-so, but insist on sharing them]

Some jiwang-jiwang play guitars at the void deck and indirectly substitute the rain dance.

Some have groups which beats other people up to show that they’re invincible and rarely, and I mean rarely, beats other people up one-on-one. Oh, those of the opposite genders will probably be attracted to them, intending to share that fake courage of theirs.

Some have blogs which shows their emotional side, indirectly listing down most of their problems which might get readers to be significantly worried and others to roll their eyeballs like car swishers and click the X button on the tabs panel.

Some have blogs to show people that they’re showing people something and are paranoid when they highly think that readers are quietly titling them as poser-braggers.
Erghm. x”(

Some will react violently when disturbed and made fun of. This type of people will usually don’t care a shit about the world and concentrates on inflicting as much pain as possible to those disturbers. He will probably make a two-footed tackle that will make them fall to the ground and mash their face and nose up till they turn into faceless voids and will run up to the canteen to grab a fork and stab them in the eye while squeezing fresh lime or lemon juice in their open wounds and make sure the seeds get stuck in one of their major blood vessel by thrusting them in and takes out a can of pesticide and sprays at them while taking out a lighter and fire-spray their soon-to-be burnt bodies till their skins evaporate and ask them to apologize.

Once again, neither grudge nor hatred here. Just friendly-poking-words!

Well, these are some examples of how humans can be so diverse in difference.
And how these are used to establish their survivability among a specific community they’re in. Although most acts don’t show much of survivability, it still helps them to survive, in a way.

So…Being cool is, in a way, a form of attraction and attention seeking.
[admit it, or prove me wrong, please xD]

For survival.

But how far will you go for it?

Which side of the right and wrong spectrum are you at when you do something?

If I were you I’ll ask myself these forms of questions when doing something.

Will you literally smoke your dreams away or lead a sporty and healthy lifestyle?
Will you give racist remarks or just zip your bleed-worthy mouth?
Will you spend your parents’ money on branded undergarments or save up for a real rainy day? Will you ignorantly blast music in a public transport to show your century-gap awareness of headphone technology or enjoy quality and less radio-noisy effects music?
Will you disturb strangers just for the fun of it and risk getting stalked and then injured by a group of people related to the strangers, or just give’em a warm and generous smile?

Which step will you take for probably, the name of cool, and mainly to survive?

Today, I’ve realized. I have this huge, huge flaw in me. When I’m not distracted, I can think, do, write things, the way it should be. When I am, all my morals will lose to the unethical-gravity, and act as though I don’t remember anything that’s on my not-to-do list. I want to change, to a better person but I doubt it will work, unless I adopt the self-discipline most of my friends possess. Time to repent?

The end of the year is approaching. And it will give way to a fresh new beginning. I genuinely think that being blessed with a new start is a golden privilege, for us imperfect humans to strive towards perfectness. If you’ve ever commit any wrongful acts, well, don’t do it again! You will never be certain of your death moment. Imagine dying directly after committing a sinful act - It’s never pleasant to end your life that way! If you think that your friends will never-ever be able to forget what you’ve done or said, prove your fresh, unpolluted intentions to them. Oh, and remember, if one of your friends ever comes up to you and comment on some of your negative behaviour, don’t give them a tight slap or hide in your store room and cry! They might be your true friends who truly care for you.

Changing the community starts with the individual.

Let’s say, you’re a guy in this uncontrolled town. You start to excessively litter everywhere you go. Seeing your litter on the ground, other people will think it’s alright to do so, and soon, the act of littering will be popular in that town of yours. Conversely, if you are responsible enough to dunk your trashes at the appropriate bins, or better, recycle, and if most of the folks have this mindset in their individual conscience, what a green and healthy town they’ll live in! How about being selfish in electricity usage? Don’t you just feel much better to spare more generations in the future?

Or how bout this. You start discriminating those who finishes their homework ASAP as they get home, and always hand-in works on time – Geeks, or Smart Alecks. Soon, if some of your friends think that it’s harmless to say those things to their other friends, students in that school will have the infamous last minute mindset. Or the “HAHA, my marks lower than yours!” speeches. I feel guilty. x”(

How familiar.

If you think you’re doing something wrong but it seems harmless to other people, think again, and again.

You might just evolve the whole human race in the near future, in a bad way.

Oh! To those blog readers that blog-skip around, tagging related tags as:

“GET A REAL LIFE. Don’t look at the littlest details in life.
It’s a waste of time. Just go along with the flow! Life is like a bunch of presents which you’ll open on your journey.”

Hi! Try watching TAPS Ghost Hunters on YouTube!

Blog Song

New blog song, updated, seconds ago.

I've been listening for quite a long time, and I personally love it.

Sweet, sweet music, if you lower down the volume instead of blasting it.

Try it! Enjoy.

At last. Some productivity.

Good news Victorians, Victoriana Issue 2* is at 90% completion.
The Design rocks the socks out of the shoes.
Thanks to the old wise Mr Damien Ho.

As usual, there'll be a Read-Eat [read it] article in that mag.
And HAHA. I'm telling you. You won't regret eating at these places.
Hint: Changi, Bedok, Bedok Reservoir.
We've only covered the one at Bedok Reservoir, so yah, 2 to go.

The Victorian? It's kinda confirmed and settled down, a bit, in terms of design
themes. So yeah, no worries.

Theme Hint: Nostalgic memories of childhood.

And as usual, me, the ulti-slacker [but sometimes when im serious, im serious],
will ask Quinn, the chief editor, "Is there anything for me to do?"
Haha. Half of the time, his reply is "no", coz we're just kinda waiting for WenHan,
the chief designer, to complete his layouts.

And a word of warning, Don't try to infiltrate our Media Lab, coz we'll go berzerk
and hunt you down like how Damien hunts people down when his specs are touched by
unauthorized individuals.

We've been kinda practicing the berzerk part in the lab itself.

Difficult

It's difficult to help someone when they don't listen.

I bet everyone, anyone, knows that.

But are we listening? For real?


Now I know how tiring for my parents to teach me something when
my pride is too high.

Just like yours dude. Just like yours. And I can safely say it's much worse.


I'll change.

Will you?

-------------------------------------------------------------

And Wow. Messing with the wrong peeps sure is unhealthy.
Turning a strong and positive teen like you into a .__.

-----------------------------------------------------------

BOOZES.

New word of the day, for me. thanks Damien.

Oh it means to drink alcoholic beverages excessively or chronically.

CREDIT: dictionary.com

It's so COINCIDENTAL.

Sorry for implying too much.

Denial

I'm a spoilt young man.
Please understand.

I'm a weak young man.
Please don't hurl any harsh words towards me.


But.


Can't we just change, since we're the one at fault?
Rather than asking hundreds to change for us.

What they always say about the Big Picture

People may say this everytime.

Always look at the big picture coz you'll get too confused with the small ones.

Well, looking at the big picture is as good as wasting time.
Small ones make the big one.

If we can look into those small things and analyze them closely, good for us.

Please take a look at the video to get the abstract meaning of this post.

Especially the ending.




I said please.

Sunday 7 December 2008

And I had it again

Yep, Last night.
I had that dream again.
I wonder if I'm gonna get it tonight.
Wait, nope, that's not possible..

I'm gonna watch Man Utd match at a coffeeshop with my Dad and cousin till 4am!

--------

To tell you the truth, I don't really like to post a continuation of my prev post.
People might think I'm pure crazy or just pure 'outdated' in that field.
You know, the "O.o" expression.

Although I can view things differently, and write it down here,
with nothing in my way, I don't think I want to share those dreams.

Well not here at least.

And no, they're not sick.


I personally believe that blogs are portraits of yourself.
And saying things that might cause disrespect to yourself is as bad as
standing up in class for the wrong reasons. There are so many ways to
view blog owners' personalities and ways of thinking.

I've learnt from that.
It's my mistake.

Try browsing through my archives.

[gosh, I was blog-surfing as i type, and I noticed that someone wrote a similar post as
mine. I shall stop here for now]

------------------------------------------------------

Oh, and I hate sweeping statements. Who doesn't?
But there are those who hate them but don't realize that they're using them.

Well, it could be anyone.
Even me, I don't know.
But I'll constantly remind myself.

Could anyone aid me in reminding too? Just spurt it out. Feel free to do so.
I'll thank you for that.


I'll quote this from one of my primary school friend:

"I view it as this way. You're climbing a wall, and you do need the support of
belayers. The rope attached to you, musn't be slacked. It's both the climber's
and the belayers' responsibility to watch out for that.

I view advice as those constant jerks that you'll have when the rope is being pulled.
A reminder, that you're safe, and on track. When there is less reprimand or advice given to you,
it's as bad as a slacked rope. Yuup, It sure is bad."


When an advice is given to us, lower down our pride's walls.
Let it through, and use our filters. It'll help us.

Dreams

I think my head is playing around with my mind at night.
Controlling my emotions. My reaction.
And it is a wonder to see that you can actually learn something in your dreams.
Well, maybe not for some of you, but it certainly is for me.

When I was around 7-8 years old, I was crazy with Dragonball/Z/GT Sagas.
Every night before going to sleep, I will childishly imagine that I'm one of the
superheroes flying around, playing around with my powers, saving people, blabla.
And I will dream about that in my sleep.

It didn't happen for that day only. For a few consecutive weeks, I've been having
those type of dreams.

Then, I made a hypothesis. [chey, science seh xD]

Whatever thinks I think about before going to sleep, I'm dream about it.
Well, most of the time, unless I'm too tired to move work out my neurons.

And I tried again, and again. It worked.

[This is not fiction nor non-fiction, It's just me and my own world xD]
[no skeptics nor believers are required too]

Haha.

---------------------------------------

Control is a blessing given to you.
So why don't you use it for good use?

---------------------------------------

Slowly and steadily, as I grew older, the types of dreams started to change.
From cartoons, to scenic nature views, GAMES, and upcoming events or
exams. It can be a life saver and also a way to relax your mind while you're
sleeping!

Hey, we must learn how to multi-task efficiently in this fast-paced world. xD

A month ago, there was the GCE MT O's paper.
And a week or so before the paper, I constantly had dreams about the paper.

Dreamt of arriving late, got caught for cheating, left a lot of questions blank,
and whatnots. So it kinda made me prepare myself and gushed adrenaline into me.

Kinda. Hah.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, what striked me most was the dreams that came to me, since last week.
And it's all different from what I've been experiencing so far.
I didn't have the slightest thought about of it, but it kept coming back.

_will update tmrw

(: Cheers for now.

Ace Combat

Heat seeking missiles.
Tactical maneuvers.

Studying aircrafts' strengths and weaknesses.
Performing J-turns, Cobra-turns.
Gaining air superiority.

Dramatic battles.
Breath-taking actions.

What a game.

I'm back with my PS2.
[which is less addictive than my pc]
