The inner nerd of us all =]

ひさしー。

been a while since I blogged [not that anyone cares ;]

ok, down to the dirty and gritty, it is spring and almost summer. To be honest I don't like the two very much =P I mean there is insects and the heat to beat. And being a major donor of blood to the mossies and the heat is quite tiring [but good for burning the fat ;] I wouldn't have much energy to do much.

HOWEVER, in the shower I thought I might be more positive this summer or heat period. I mean there are plenty of good stuff to experience in the summer right?

~~~~~~

I remember in primary school, we'd knock off at 3 and get home at 3.30. It was 38 degrees and everyone was quite beaten by the temperature. Even the air-conditioners called out to be saved, rattling away trying to keep the people cool. Out of the car I got and rushed inside to find a slightly cooler living room, but it wasn't enough. I quickly jumped into the shower and slowly turned the cold water on. Under the shower head, I could feel the heat slowly dissipating from my dark black hair. At first the water trickling to my fingers were warm, then slowly as I turned to tap further, my skin was in a cold heaven. I stuck out my tongue and let the water fall almost gluttonously drinking the water. As the cool water slid down my throat I no longer was in this world of heat. Gone.

~~~~~~

Ok let's get to what I wanted to do =P [referring to the title <- just for fun] primary school was about 7 years ago, and global warming had not hit us as much as it is now. so 38 degrees is pretty hot relative to the winter the normal temp then. So at 38 degrees our body is desperately trying to cool our body down, with sweat. This sweat will evaporate utilizing what is known as the "cooling effect". So in order to produce this sweat our bodies must use up energy, and as we move about as well we use up energy so, thus, people would be tired because of the heat. Air conditioners were pretty crap back then, and we haven't changed them since so they are pretty old, hence the rattling noises. HOWEVER, obviously an inanimate object cannot be "crying out to be saved" thus, it must be one of those... those .. what do you call it? english technique.. onomatopoeia!

Well the slightly cooler living room is thanks to the insulation of the house, and the roof. At peak heat [about noon] the gutters play a important roll reducing heat in the summer. As we all know that the earth Rotates at a 23 degrees axis, in summer the sun is approximately 23 degrees at noon. So the gutter is able to block the most direct rays reducing the heat trapped inside by 40%, insulation keeps the morning coolness inside the house and reflects the heat out. However, ventilation like windows and pipes allow heat to flow into the house, resulting in a slightly cooler room.

Turning the tap slowly and allowing the water to trickle does not have any affect. It is pointless =P As we know the colour black is a good absorber of heat, the heat on the hair is greater then the surface temperature of the skin. As the cold water falls onto the hair the heat from the hair is transferred to the water [zeroth law of thermodynamics]. The sensory neurons at our fingers have the ability to sense temperature [as well as pressure etc] at the sensory neurons small electrical signals are sent to from the synapses to the central nervous system and then sent to the brain. This allows up to perceive what we know as cold. Together with the first point we now can conclude that what I was feeling is true, proven by science. Similarly, by drinking cold water the heat is transferred from the point of contact to the water and as the water has kinetic energy we can see that the heat is no longer at the point in contact.

The rest of it is a load of BS =]

lol ^^|

fun? or fun?

Thus, the title of this blog =D

We smile

, be brave and put on that smile, holding back on words that would never come out right and walk. Walk forward to what may never seem like reality. We take each day without realising much. Taken for granted, the day just passes, as we distract ourselves from what is true. Some say reality and truth hurts; some say reality and truth is what we decide it to be; others... well the others are too ignorant [or busy] to care.

We are all these, and yet none. How can something as arbitrary as this be so definite?

ZZzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzZZ

These hands...

Don't look at these hands.

These labourer's hands...

They have been stains with blood, sweat and pain.

They have brought happiness, stress and hardship.

They have been punished for my silly thoughts, my anger and stupidity.

These hands are my history that tell you what I cannot tell you myself.

These hands do not lie, like I wish to. After all, there is no point in making others worry when nothing can be done.

My pain is my own, and if there were times I could share the load - I will.

My hands will prove to you how mature I have become.

My hands hopefully with convince you to trust in me.

So trust in these hands, and walk forward with me - to something we all hope is good.

Imagine you were a never ageing 18 year old. You have gotten over all your hormones and what not [sure if you wish you could revisit your hormones but this is not the point...] Anywho, you are not going to die unless you get killed 10 billion times or something. Ok you some how appeared right after the dinosaurs have disappeared. The only human on the planet until you wait for humans to evolve from Neanderthals.

Now think about the climate. It is the ice age at which the dinosaurs have just died from [lots of food kept cool from rot =P] and then you get the stage flicking to and from ice ages. Then it steadies within the next 50 million years. Slowly you get relatively warm and get averages. humans start to think "productively" and then before you know it the industrial revolution starts. Imagine the types of people you would have met up to this point.

Vikings, Pharaohs, geniuses, the commoners, the sick, the rich. Imagine you have knowledge of them all - their culture and everything about their society. Then the industrial rev. Within another 250 years we are in the present. Today. Right now.

With at least 200 billion years of knowledge. What do you think will happen in the next 100 years. In the next 1000 years and the next million or even 200 billion years?

Don't know about you, but I reckon humans might not be here in the next 3000 years. Humans have been around for at least 4000 years now right? In the past 300 years we have become most populated, and most destructive of our 4000 or so years of existence. [humans as in those that wear clothes and what not.] At the rate we are going I'd give it 500 years before things get really bad and wooh! nature is saved!

Well it doesn't matter. We won't live to see this happen to us right? Wrong - you don't die and forever 18. =]

This wasn't meant to make you sad or what not. Just don't lose sight of the bigger picture - because everyone needs a reminder once in a while.

going to be busy for the next billion years [trying to save man kind =P] so see you next time i have less hw than expected or trying to procrastinate =]

Are you a-maze-d?

For those bored beings out there that has internet, no study to do, and not HD to aim for [not really] youtube Sungha Jung. I don't exactly know his background, but he is... so talented.. I can only wish to be that talented in a billion years. As long as I don't get arthritis and too old =]

Something sort of outraged me the other day.

Firstly, do YOU believe in the idea of climate change? Have YOU challenged this notion of climate change? Eh.. well in my lecture we watched a video about the fact that climate change ie. global warming is false and does not exist. By the end of it I was feeling quite sick.. strangely. Why? It isn't because I really believe in climate change but because I could pick out a flaw in almost all of their points they put forward.. The manipulation of information...

Now that I think about it.. it quite reminds me of myself ^^| You probably question why, and it is something that shall stay unanswered till I find an answer myself.

Any who, there was some "scientific" information and results saying that the stratosphere should be warmer than the surface of the Earth but results show otherwise. I couldn't say anything about it. There was only two ways you could determine those results, satellite and balloon. So someone can try convince me - but note I am not one to be persuaded until I find out myself.

- Well throughout the video, it only seemed to be two sides. Those that firmly believe in global warming, and those that firmly do not. I want to tell those who are ready to jump at each other's throats to slow down and calm down... clearly this has been brought up before but both sides of these extreme views have shunned the "fence sitter".

# my view #

In all honestly, I couldn't be too bothered about the technicalities. I want my children, and my children's children and the children of the future to experience the beauties of what this world can show us. Over these 18 years I have seen wondrous things, and I can already see some disappearing. I want to see blue sky where ever I go when I am old and even more wrinkly.

I don't see any reason not to reduce the amount of carbon used. It only causes pollution. It provides electricity but so can greener forms. It'll use up a lot of infrastructure but think about the benefits of doing this.

Also, eventually - sooner or later - fossil fuels will disappear and then what? We are screwed. We end up fighting with swords ... no not even sticks and stones. [no fire to make swords =P or is there?? O____o]

It isn't like walking up a mountain - where your legs burn but you continue and don't stop.

It isn't like a marathon - where breathing hurts and your head is light headed

It isn't like drowning - where gasping for breath only cough and instincts tell you to run.

It is like sitting high up and landing on your head.

Like the numbness of the pain - though you know you hurt something precious

It is the involuntary skip of the heart - causing you to gasp for air.

Like the cramps of chest muscles making it hard to gasp and no matter up much you breath the heart will not slow down.

It is like the dizziness when you run so much and so suddenly that you are not only light headed, but need to throw up.

It is like constantly working hard but not getting anywhere - and you don't feel deserving to complain because you know there are others worse off, and if not, there were people worse off.

But you can't help but feel strangely helpless.

You pick yourself up again, dust yourself off and continue for the [some number]th time.

"It isn't as bad really, it could be worse, it'll be ok."

Hahaha cryptic msg after cryptic msg. I guess it is late and you know who comes out at this hour? ReNu my arch-enemy. We have fought many battles before, but it seems he has been quite over powering lately. Once I chopped him up and chucked him in the pan... I ate him and then 12 hrs later he came walking through the door completely fine - ready to fight. That day I post poned the fight till I completely digested.

- yes it is all just blabber and doesn't make sense.

1.11 - [as least it was] I wish my arm would bloody stay put so I can punch my sofa into pieces.

~~~~~

Clouded by your beauty I sit there stunned by what is in front of me. I search through my memory to see your smile again. I sit there in the corner searching when I realise, it isn't your smile I am looking for... but for my own. You were always smiling.

uphill or downhill?

Imagine something so beautiful. A painting of some sort... the original is too your left, and the duplicate is on your right. You can tell which one is which. Which side do you choose to look at?

What if there were obstacles that prevent you from seeing the whole original painting? Would you look at the whole of the duplicate or do you look at parts of the original?

In this instance you cant move towards the painting because you are moving forward. Not by choice, but because you are in a vehicle... ok this isn't going to make sense to anyone so =] yamemasu.

tsu... ka... re... ta.

I don't even feel lazy. Though I do feel like my efforts are useless. I guess the end results do matter most.

and so... ZZzzzzZzzzz

riddle that I forgot earlier today.

I have forgotten my bank pin number - but I won't ever forget because it is associated with the children's song/game "Head, shoulders, knees and toes". The Pin number is 4 numbers long. What is my pin number.

~~~~

To be honest it is quite similar to the riddle's that have been going around lately. ie. why 4 is cosmic and how many horses are there?

distraction... distraction distraction. I think it is not working. I can take the other approach, but... but yeah ^^
