Here's another thought...

Here's another facebook quiz result.. as we all know, these quizzes are pretty stupid.. i mean, if it somehow displayed the "correct" results, it's only by a mere coincidence.
So anyway.. here's what it said: "You were an intrepid adventurer with a love of life greater than anyone in your time. You spent your days contemplating the limits of normal life, pushing the boundaries, and seeking ways to transcend them"
And i'm not going to discuss the result in this post.
What got me thinking was (wow.. i seem to be spending more time thinking about me & my life these days) this part: "limits of normal life"
limits of normal life.. now that got me thinking.. i'm not the type that can "measure" how fragile i am as a human
For example... i dont know the answers to these questions:
a. How big does a waterfall have to be for me to die? say if i actually caught myself in a situation where i have to take a leap of the ledge and dive down a waterfall. I mean surely there are some instances where people find themselves still alive at the bottom of that waterfall?
b. How many stories off the ground do i have to be for me to break my legs or even die when i jump?
c. If there's a pool of any kind down there, does that mean an increase in the number of storeys that is regarded as "safe"? i.e. you jump & you live

See.. i don't know the answers to these questions.. mostly coz i've never actually seen people do it.. let alone try it myself
So if i'm gonna die someday.. well not "if".. coz i'm sure i'm gonna day someday.. if i don't die from sickness / some kind of accident.. i'm pretty sure i'll die because of my own stupidity
say for example.. for some reason i'm being chased on a roof by some ninjas.. and coz i dont know the answer to the above questions.. i'll just take the risk and bring my stupid self to jump off a 5 storey building and.... splat-o!
I wonder if there's a rule of thumb for these sorts of things..

Sleeping

I've only recently noticed that I'm quite the accident prone...
The accident I had while skiing more than a year ago.. swollen ankle in korea.. sprained shoulder 2 weeks ago.. and not to mention all these bruises that i get.. on my knee.. shin.. wrist..
Well.. yea.. i do bump into things a lot... A LOT.. but sometimes i'd think where the hell did all of this come from??? how the hell did i hurt myself?

I didnt have a very good sleep last night
Have you ever had one of those nights.. where u're not THAT tired that u don't fall asleep straightaway?
You let your mind wander... think about things that u usually don't pay attention to during the day.. come up with all these crazy / stupid ideas.. or even come up with new goals in life (which during that moment, u're so persistent on achieving it, that u plan on doing all these activities the next day that'll help u do just that.. but deep down u know u're never gonna end up doing them)
Or you end up imagining things.. or "daydreaming" (or should I say here nightdreaming)
Then u fall asleep
Then u wake up.. with ur mind thinking about watever ur last train of thought was
So it didn't feel like u've slept at all.. and sometimes u even have to think whether u've actually fall asleep at all
Does this ever happen to you?

I'm a NERD

Loser Quiz

Here's something you can spend some time thinking about...

I've been reading a lot of books lately.. and by that i mean A LOT.
I guess that's because I have more free time on my hands now.
One of the books was called Mitch Albom - The Five People You Meet In Heaven.
A friend of mine actually recommended another book by him, but after reading the summaries written on the back covers, I decided that I'll read this one first.
All in all, it's a very good book.. I really liked it
Anyway.. the purpose of this post is not to promote the book.. and No, I have not been secretly recruited as their newest salesperson to bump up their sales.
It is this particular paragraph written on the first page of the book that I wanted to talk about:

"Everyone has an idea of heaven, as do most religions, and they should all be respected. The version represented here is only a guess, a wish, in some ways, that my uncle, and others like him - people who felt unimportant here on earth - realise, finally, how much they mattered and how they were loved"


I really like this paragraph... for a number of reasons
Have you ever thought about your own death? I mean.. I have never actually thought about it.. not that I'm scared of it. Actually, I wouldn't know. I guess it's one of those things that I'd rather not think about.. one of those things I'd rather brush aside.. One of those topics that I'm afraid that if I start thinking about it, I'll open up the doors to many other emotional things, to many questions which is quite impossible to find the answers to.

But what I HAVE thought about is this.. what if i die? would it make any difference at all?
Have I done anything that can be remotely considered as important? Have I actually made an impact to this world? to other people - strangers or otherwise?
Many times I would come up with 'no, probably not'
Then I start asking other questions.. if i die, will people feel sad? how many are actually gonna miss me? or is it going to be the case where one hears the news from another and immediately dismiss it by saying 'oh really? that's awful.. hey what are you doing tonight?'
how many are going to turn up to the funeral? how are they going to find out in the first place?
i mean.. admit it.. there are some people we know - who don't hang out in our "group of buddies" or see 5 days a week at our place of work that they'll actually realise if we don't turn up to work for 3 straight days - but we'd like to consider them as part of our lives.. to know know that they care, that they'll turn up to our funeral.. how are they going to find out?
Seriously.. do people read obituaries nowadays? as a matter of fact, do people actually physically read newspapers nowadays?

Anyway.. this post is quite different from my previous entries
Lately it's just some random post.. of jokes or riddles or quiz results
These things have actually crossed my mind before.. like u know.. before u fall asleep.. that's when u think about things the most - random/otherwise.. thats when great/stupid ideas come surfacing.. and this train of thought was one of them.
But when I read that paragraph... it's like... "wow.. i bet there are more people like me out there who thinks about this stuff".
So yeah.. after reading this post.. I can assure you that i'm not turning into a philosopher .. or any kind of a thinker of any kind.. believe me.. - actually.. those of u that have known me for quite some time now will probably have realised this by now - I'm not that sophisticated of a person
LOL

The Perfect Description

Ailz has been bugging me to put up a new post for quite a while.. so here it is.
I completed a quiz on facebook.. here's the result

"THE INNER NATIONALITY QUIZ: WHAT ARE YOU REALLY?" with the result You are German..
You are precise yet romantic, efficient yet dreamy, friendly yet somewhat suspicious of others. You rarely smile, but when you do it's very meaningful. You like it best when there is a group consensus, and yet you are easily annoyed by the slowness and/or stupidity of others. Sometimes you think that if only you could live on an island or move to some wonderful place far away where things are different, everything would be better, and if you can't realize this dream you often lose yourself in books/vacations/recipes/sports -- anything for an escape! All in all, however, you make your peace with life, and have many old friends. .

Wow.. this is like.. the perfect description
K.. maybe not the romantic part
But i am a friendly person (or at least i'd like to think so) and i am definitely somewhat suspicious of others.
Next part.. that's what people have been telling me.. "i rarely smile"..
but hey... it's meaningful when i do it :))))
And yes.. i like it when there's a consensus coz i hate arguing.. and i AM easily annoyed by people's stupidity and slowness (thou i may not show it sometimes.. yes.. i hate it when people are slow)
hm.. the rest of the paragraph seem to be to general... it can apply to anyone really.. so i choose to ignore it
and yeah.. i do have many old friends..
i sometimes wonder how i can keep that friendship til now.. even if i've only known that person for a year before i shipped off to oz...

Hi People!!!

Stupid friend told me to remember my blog userID so I could write up a new post then he ditched me and went to dinner... geez....

Alrite.. where to start.. coz it's been a while. a very loooooong while.
Hmm.. gotta go to work tomorrow.. should be fun... *sigh*
Which reminds me.. I don't have a training plan for tomorrow yet
And I've still got this representative form that I have to print and fill out...

Well, I won't be writing about my holidays, coz it's been a while.. I've probably forgotten most that had happened during my trip to Malay, Korea, and Indo.
Maybe i'll just write one thing about each country.
Let's see...
Malay: hot & sticky
Korea: cold & freezing & omg some people eat boiled silk worms! how effed up is THAT???
Indo: good food :))))

So, some of u may wonder whats been happening in my life lately..
Lemme see.. whats new with me... nothing I guess.. still the same 'ol.... ME......
Except that I've now graduated - well, technically i have NOT graduated, but I HAVE "completed my course" and now it's just the part where I wait for my graduation ceremony which falls on 14th of March - so I'm not a student anymore
I don't have a job yet (surprise surprise.. in this shitty state of the economy.. who would?)
But technically (again with the technicality) I'm not unemployed.. since I'm still coaching and I'm still getting paid to do so

Enough of my miserable uneventful boring life.. MOVING ON....

I just got a new racquet... still on its way here... so I don't have it yet.. but it's already MINE MINE MINE MINE :DDDD

Oh.. I'm not sure whether I've written this before.. but u see that 3 digit number on the top left of this page? In case you're wondering..
No, it's not my birthday
No, it's not my god-knows-what-anniversary
No, it's not my lucky number
No, it's not how many days there are in a year
No, it's not how much I weigh (no matter how u look at it.. kg, grams, lbs)
No, it's not how many days I've gone without air, food, or water
No, it's not the next winning lottery number that you, with that sick twisted brain of yours, have somehow perceived it as a sign telling you that you should buy a lottery ticket tomorrow
No, the number doesn't mean anything to me
and finally.. Yes, it is a random number that comes with the template

...
and by this stage you're probably thinking "wow this person must be really bored to actually have the time to write up stuff like this"

Hmm.. nature calls.. toodle-doooooo
