Was just listening to Jay Chou's new song on youtube and just feel like posting thoughts that came from nowhere.
If you haven't notice that I'll been doing a lot philosophy shit, my thinking has changed a lot compared to what I have been a year ago. And in another year, I might be flying thousands of miles to New York alone... Although it has been seen as a good experience but it's going to be hard. But precisely because it is hard that's why I'm going over, I just feel like setting up on own away from everyone I know and everything I own. Somehow it's hard to put my thoughts into word but I want to thank two person who I was close to but don't really talk to anymore now.
J***,
I can't exactly describe what happen between us. Perhaps I have hurt you once but hope you'll forgive me if you happen to read this now. Recently saw your msn and thought you weren't doing so well and probably still doing what you shouldn't. Sometimes I wish time would go back to those happy times but i know we are just from different world... This song is for you which probably you will be putting this as your ringtone. Hope your life would be better off now.
Kids' Mum,
It's been a year. A rather long one. Thank you for the sweet memories that will always stay with me. Think you're probably doing much better and should be much happier now. Kinda ended on a bad patch, really sorry that it had to be that way. All the best... Thank you in advance for your help to take care of the kids when I have to leave next year.
Sian... suddenly damn emo... =(

In da club... this makes me feel so wanna...
Someone just made me an offer and I feel damn flattered... Well... nvm =) Keep it a secret for now.
Oh anyway my Diesel Wall entry was one of the finalist selected for the competition in NYC. It was displayed as part of the Diesel XXX anniversary party which I presumed. Probably will post up some photos if they sent me.

It has been 2 months since I last updated... probably I'll revamp this site purely for philosophy. Anyway I'm currently starting to write a book on philosophy which I may or may not finish. A lot of thoughts have been running through my head, so much so that it has come to a point where I cannot not put it somewhere.
In my philosophy there are a few fundamental concepts which I shall explain briefly:
- Perspectivity and Relativity
- Cycle and Balances of Natural Occurances
Perspectivity and Relativity
At the same time that each concept can be described on its own, it actually forms together as a whole ideology. In my view, life is a mere existence. Why would I say that? Rather than viewing life as an entity where it is viewed in the perspective of an individual, life is actually an event. It is an event where things happen. There isn't a definition of good or bad since an event is just a happening which it won't be enough to cover. Thus I have a concept that everyone's life began as a pool of still water, every single event no matter how big or small that happened causes a ripple. As time passes, so do the ripples in your pool. Each event affects your decisions that you will make in the future. If you get what I mean then think about it, the moment since you were born, your life is more or less predestined. Events that will occur in your life would more or less be roughly what it will be unless a spectacular effort is made to change it.
Ok till now i realise i haven't elaborate much on my basic concepts since there really isn't much space to talk about it... if I go on too late probably most would have left after reading right about to this point. haha. So in simple point form, I provide some food for thought:
Perspectivity:
How long is the lifespan of a dog compared to a human? Perhaps your answer would be human would live much longer and such. Well... it's not wrong but it isn't right. It is just like how dogs would think of us... Woah! this dude must be god... he's big, he lives longer than me, he could get food out of nowhere. Of course a dog probably wont think like that since they wont have a concept of god or time.
Another ideology would be relative to science, for anyone who knows about the laws of special relativity should know that spacetime is relative to mass. For those that don't, space and time are formed as a unity. Without time, there wont be space and vice versa. Example: I could tell u to meet at 4:30 or I could tell u to meet in town but without both information, we would never be able to meet each.... if you get my drift. Thus... according to Eistein's law spacetime is warped with respect to gravity(mass), although if mainly affects objects of relatively significant amounts of mass but how would you know that the dog is in fact not living the same amount of time in their perspective?
Relativity:
Emotion are one of the reasons there is meaning to life. Without emotions, basically there is nothing to life. Life is just a beginning of an existence with an eventual destination of death: a cease of existence. There basically isn't much meaning to life. If you look at evolution, life is a process of survival and reproduction. Ok back to my point...
What is happiness? It is a mere state of mind that when contrast to the feeling you were having previously. Without other negative emotions like dissappointment, sadness etc. , in fact there won't be happiness. Not that you won't feel happy but there will be nothing for you to compare to for you to know that you are happy. Which in fact, it will makes thing worst such that only negative feelings exist for such a person cause there won't be anything better than he would be able to feel.
It works the same no matter what the subject is whether it is economics, ecology, astrological occurance etc. If I go on, it would be what I will elaborate on the cycle and balance of natural occurances. So I shall stop here for relativity.
Cycle and Balances of Natural Occurances:
This concept is actually very near the idea of what the buddhism have of cause and effect. If you have seen my previous post on this, I'm not sure if I have presented this enough but this is extremely interesting to me. Rather than explaining I'll list out:
1. Atoms - Electrons, Proton, Neutron
2. Chemistry - Forgot whether is it Newton's law but this universal law states that for every reaction there is an equal inverse reaction. The same goes for energy and matter which the famous E=MC2 describe.
3. Sins and retribution - Perhaps some feel that current day legistative system would be enough for judging the evil deeds of people (which I disagree). But checks and balances in the social system of current society would eventually breaks a person that is evil deep inside. He probably won't be happy much throughout his life and achieve much of life's satisfaction. That is the balance that Buddhism meant (if I din't get it wrong).
I can't possibly state everything out but if you get the general idea then you should be able to understand.
In some of the other topics I will cover on in my book:
- The Meaning of Life
- The Beginning of Life, the Universe and Beyond
- General Concepts of Relative Philosophy
- Implications with regards to the Modern Social System
- Paradox of Relative Philosophy
For skeptics thinking that what would a 21 year old know about philosophy and life. Well... would a 80 year old would know anything about philosophy or life? To me, age doesn't matter in any case.
Guess I probably need a year or two if I were to finish this book, I need more research on various aspects of knowledge to have a more retrospective view thus probably need more time to update on something new. For those interested can give my some comment or such, it could give me a different view on what I have missed out. And for an publisher that happens to chance by... give me a call. lol. That's all for now.
