Motivation to pick up that heavy book...
Apparently, my old technique of placing books by the bed side helps me pick it up a bit more often.
I used to do that when I was an avid fiction reader. Later, I just felt that fact, more than fiction, was a bit more appealing.
To return to my nerd-ing abilities, I had been sifting through all sorts of methods, forgetting completely about this technique that worked ever so well in the past.
And now, after accidentally stumbling upon it by myself, I hope it serves me well.

Speaking of covers...
I was randomly clicking on Youtube videos when I came across this interesting piece:
Alex Goot - Break Even
Alex Goot - Break Even
Gonna make the last month of the year so worth remembering 2011 for!
That's my DEC 1ST FB status.
And I'm gonna make it happen.
As of now, I have these lined up:
And I'm gonna make it happen.
As of now, I have these lined up:
- Signature Hunt in KL
- Buy new shoes for Signature Hunt
- Attend Toastmasters Christmas Special that my friend is organising (a bit nervous as to the requirement of having to do an impromptu speech!)
- Work on a project online during my break with an interesting new friend who comes up with inspiring ideas
- Read a biography (still in search of one :p)
- On that note, I should probably finish the books I've not read that are piling up on my shelf :p
- Write up a Wikipedia article (I have a particularly interesting topic that is gonna make one of the entries)
- New saree on the way! Can't wait to see it.
- School reunion (Thinking of doing something different this time around. Will update!)
- Make special gifts for classmates (I hope they like it! I have to complete them first!! )
- Do some fun nail art (I've gotten into this lately after being 'exposed' to it by my little cousin and my fun-loving sister)
- Sleepover! (at my uncle's place who has moved into a new neighbourhood!)
- Cook!! (hoping to learn up some proper dishes and be proud of them hehe)
- Practise some new songs on the piano (inspired by all the covers my sister keeps showing me on YouTube)
- Co-choreograph a dance routine with sister and cousin (for a special secret project hehe :p)
- And with all customs of life, something surprising always shows up...

The peculiar human
Out of all the electives I got to choose from, Criminology stood out. It appeared interesting, it had inclinations to matters that were of interest to me, and I don't regret it one bit.
One of our lectures was done by a fresh graduate who was employed by the college while he completed his Professional paper with them. He was a walking encyclopedia, with knowledge ranging well beyond our required scope and basic understanding. An inspiration in a sense that we are not confined to one man's theory but are open to see the world and how it views itself.
One very interesting point that he had read and shared with us was the state of the human mind. With inevitable death looming, how come we are striving to survive? Why do we have dreams and hopes when we know that our lives on this earth is brief?
He explained that it is in our genetics that we know of death but continue living the way we do: Innovating, dreaming, believing.
Interesting point don't you think?
Contrast that with those who feel that their lives are hopeless and worthless; Those who feel that life is so meaningless that they are willing to strip themselves of that opportunity to live - suicides, suicide bombers and the like. What about those who are looking for the meaning of life itself?

There was a commercial on National Geographic once with the question : Why are we here? I Youtube-ed it for about an hour to no avail. The closest I got was a 3 part documentary on that very topic by Richard Dawkins.
Knowing that life's a brief candle that can be blown out at anytime, I guess my job here is to make sure that I leave it in the hands of the next generation that are blessed to enjoy the gift of curiosity, the wonders this world has to offer and the freedom of choice to make it better than it already is.
