In a place of voidness, I need colours. Blue, Red, Green.
May the colours tell of a story that will not let me regret.

Starting ANEW?
Ok. this week was MYE and it haven't ended, sadly. Since I had an interesting day today, I've decided to blog! To also update on my past weeks. Well there isn't much to talk about(for those that once said will invite lots of 'I told you so') except a few interesting things I'm going to share.
Tuesday night I watched Brainiac, a british show that do CRAZY experiments, mainly blowing up of stuff, with a humorous kick. Some experiments are totally lame, like the one that tests which liquid gives the darkest tan when applied to the body. Liquids used - Tea, coffee, gravy and yeast extract. The last one is this gooey stuff that's like TAR. So you should know which won. Well the interesting thing is this experiment. This guy who is EMO and cannot find any meaning to laugh even in the face of a comedian is told to hold a pen across his mouth with his lips. Suddenly, he can laugh more easily! the scientific explanation is that when the mouth is used to hold something that forces the mouth to open wide, it activates certain facial muscles that causes the release of a hormone that induces laughter more easily. And the funny thing was, my brother and I tried doing it by holding a finger across our mouth and we LAUGHED AT NOTHING! Well, it does felt easier to laugh or maybe that's like psychological. Haha. Hence to force someone to laugh at your joke, make them hold something in their mouth. I guess Kang Li doesn't need it.
Wednesday night, I watched The Blue Planet despite having Bio paper 1 & 2 the next day. It's my favourite TV series(documentary) ever! Haha. the sad thing that happened in the show was how the film crew are unable to do anything in the course of nature despite it being cruel. Abiding the one major rule of environmentalists - to never interfere with nature in the course of work, the film crew watched helplessly as a grey whale calf gets separated from its mother by a group of killer whales as food. The whole event was filmed even when the sea turned red. It's a cruel world where only the fittest survive.(Ok, that's like Darwin's Theory!!!) And nevertheless, the mystery of the ocean NEVER fails to amaze me. Haha. Another heartwarming thing also happened in the course of filming. On one situation, while the crew was filming a shark attack on sardines, the divers were surrounded and threatened by the filmed sharks, which numbered up to around a hundred. Despite their electric probes to protect them, the sharks swam closer and turned attention towards the bigger prey-to-be. It was a horrifying moment to find your life being endangered in helpless water. However they were saved when they heard a series of noise- whistles and clicks. The sharks were driven away by the DOLPHINS! Power to the DOLPHINS!!!
Thursday was just like any other day which I slacked a lot. So it's TODAY! Today's paper was crappy. And after that, me and Kang Li went to Starbucks to "study". We brought notes and really wanted to study. However, she was distracted by this certain application in my phone which I shall not say and you guys have no need to know or remind me. And we started to talk while 'resting' too. She was being emo about her results and such and then we moved on to talk about dreams and a lot of miscellaneous stuff before reaching employment issues. Haha. You can say that we talked about everything under the world. Well it was like 3+ hours straight of talking! And talking kinda relaxes me! Haha, actually I think I was the one talking most of the time. So in the end, we didn't touch our notes. Well, Kang Li took them out, up, and then put them down. All in an instant.
So I have 3 more papers next week. It'll be a breeze! Haha. Carefree is the way to go!!! *Ignorant to warnings from others*
Before I die...
I would like to see the Northern Lights
I would like to swim with the carefree dolphin
I would like to parachute down the endless sky
How much time will I have left to enjoy the world Before I die.
