How We Know What We Know
Posted on Friday, October 30, 2009 @ 5:36 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

read the title ?
have you ever wondered about it ?
i have to confess that i've never thought about this .

when i'm kind of 'meditating' , i think of questions like :
why are we born ?
why this era ?
why do i have to experience those things ?
why is there karma ?

well , not that the questions have a definite answer .

and so , i take everything i have in life for granted .
(okay , for most things )
and yes , knowledge included .

okay , before i start rattling again , i have to give credit for this statement .
it's in my applied social research lecture notes .
and sociology is so super cool .
you must must must study it .
lol .

credit acknowledged , i'll continue !
heh . XD

alright , so there are FOUR sources of knowledge .

1. direct experience and observation
2. personal inquiry
3. tradition
4. authority

okay , i shall not be mean and explain .
just in case you don't understand . :D

1. well , the name itself explains it all . by that i mean , you experience it YOURSELF .

2. interacting with people , and ask them about it . yeah , just like what i do when i'm meditating .

3. how you are brought up .
wait a minute , it's by accepting what everybody knows , we avoid starting from scratch in our search for understanding . =]

4. discoveries and understandings produced by others .
it's also kind of like being told by one who has more experience and knowledge to do something .

SO THAT'S ALL .
AND PEOPLE ,
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED !

TODAY IS NOT MY DAY

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH .

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH .

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH .

lol , ok . enough with the 'ahh's .
right .
and i feel that i don't have time for myself anymore !
and it's only the second week of school . T.T

ANYWAY , I HAVE TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU .

just now after my cds lecture , i went to the bus stop .
and waited for the bus . (duh , obviously, lol)
okay , then the first bus home was super packed .
and i can't board .
so i waited for another bus .
so time flies .
THEN THE NEXT BUS CAME .
AND THERE HAPPENS TO BE ONE IDIOTIC PERSON WHO CUT MY QUEUE !
well , you know , we have to queue to board the bus .
AND THAT PERSON CUT IT .
at first i thought it was an aunty .
so in my thoughts it's like :
DUHH .
and i'm already super irritated already .
'cause i didn't get to board the first bus .
*sigh*

AND I SAW HER FACE .
it's like she's not even an aunty !
so why did i mistake her for one ?
'CAUSE OF HER DRESSING .

alright . so i totally hate people who cut queues .
URGH !

so i went to the upper deck .
I SO DO NOT WANT TO SEE HER FACE .
and the seat i was sitting at happened to have this air-condition thingy .
that keeps blowing at me .
so i tried to change the direction .
but to no avail .
lol .

SO I GUESS TODAY'S NOT MY DAY , HUH .
it must be then .
* sigh *
and it shall be the title for this post ! lol . :D

lazy lazy lazy !

HEY HEY .
i'm seriously getting lazy to write . lol .
and school work is one of the excuses . XD
[ note : well , actually i'm just super plain lazy ]

okay , so what to talk about ?
hmm . i want to sleep early tonight !
lol .

and i'm viewing a friend's blog now too . =]
and i'm super tempted to tell anyone i've got a blog .
hmm .
then so much for being a private blog . lol .

but then again , i don't know how to change it !
as in the settings .
lol .
i've only clicked the options for this blog not to show up in blog reads / online searches .
lol .

other than that i have super zero idea !
lol .

hmm . hmm .

oh , and i have the sudden inspiration to applaud those html pros !
without them , my blog will be super duper plain .

but i had to edit some stuff too .
which was totally infuriating .
lol .

-YAY , used INFURIATING -

ahhhhh .
i'm just bored out of my mind .
lol .
okay , shall update .
WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT . XD

RELAX !
Posted on Monday, October 19, 2009 @ 6:22 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

yes , this is what I'm going to do .
RELAX RLAEX !

well , i-forgot-who said that humans can read the word as long as the first and last letter or that word is of the correct sequence , we can read !
yes , i regarded us as humans !
okay , I'm being super lame here . lol .

-OKAY, back to the first and last letter thing-

yup , so RLAEX = RELAX .
oh , and the letters that are jumbled up must be the same as the original word .

HELLO = HLELO

okay , I'm super lame .
AND SCHOOL HAS STARTED !

ugh .
am super demoralised .

RELAITY ! (= REALITY)

*sgih* (= sigh)

arlghit , you can see how beord i am now .
(= alright , you can see how bored i am now)

cause I'm like translating what I'm typing . lol .

OKAY , I SHALL STOP AND REALLY RELAX .
*take deep breathes*

okay , i shall do spell check . lol .
except for those deliberately changed words .

AND I SHALL END THIS POST ! :D

***SIDE-NOTE : oh my , the spell check has changed urgh to ugh , and capitalised all my 'I's . but it only capitalised those which have the prostophe (not sure of this spelling) ;
eg. I'm
but not the i in 'i am happy !'

you see ?
lol .
never mind .
rambling / babbling rubbish .

SMILE ! :D

when boredom strikes
Posted on Saturday, October 17, 2009 @ 11:43 AM | 0 lovely comment(s)

HEY !
i'm getting lazy to write in here .
lol .
so you would have noticed me not writing . :]

okay .
hmmm . hmmm .
what should i share today ?

SCHOOL STARTS NEXT WEEK !

urgh .
projects and everything !
be prepared !
lol .

i'm so bored now .
i don't know what to do .

oh , and my timetable is out .
yeah .
i got Basic FA for CDS .
cross-disciplinary subject .

that's financial accounting for you .
lol .
prays that things will be okay for this coming semester !
and most happy to look forward to the 7-week holiday again .

it's so fun to be doing nothing during the holidays .
no stress .
but it's kind of unproductive .
you didn't learn anything new during the holidays .
know what i mean ?
well , i hope you do . lol .

hmmmm . hmmmmmm .

let's talk about astrology now !
few days ago , i've watched this tv show .
it's like a talk show , and astrologists (if there is such a word) are invited and they talk about horoscopes .
like eg. aries , taurus , etc .

so what caught my attention was that they were talking about some 180 degree thingy .
for your information ,
my sun is in leo and moon is in aquarius .
that's completely opposite each other .
thus the 180 degree thingy .
one of them said that it would cause some of my sun's traits to be gone .
influenced by aquarius .

but another said that this combination would make the person balanced .
it is only when there is 90 degree 'crash' that would make the person 'crash' .
lol .
i don't even know how to express what i'm saying .

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH .
i'm so freaking bored .
lol .

shall stop writing now .
now i'll think of what to put for the title .
just so you know , sometimes i will type the title first , then type the content .
but sometimes i will just anyhow type .
then think of title .
lol .

SEEEEEEE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !

random babbling

ahh , remember the birthday present ?
[ note : the shirt i designed ! ]

my friend said she likes it !
yeah .
i want to design a shirt for myself too .
someday .
but i'm not sure if i want to use markers again . :]

hmm , but i've not used needles before .
so i'll stick with markers ?
lol .
random random random .

NEWS FLASH !
pet society has got some halloween stuff !
and i've decorated my house with that . :D

hmm , think think of what to share next .
i want to paint my nails !
i change them every 2 weeks .
i try to use my nails to ' scratch ' them off so i won't have to use the polish remover . :]

anyway i think that country story is kind of fake .
i mean the daily gifts .
'cause everytime i click , i'll get the most lousy gift .
i'll get the food with the least stamina .
*sigh*

okay , i'm going to check on my farm !
SEE YA . :D

HEY HEY !
i've not posted for 2 days !
heh . :]
anyway , remember about of my idea of DIY shirt for a friend's birthday ?
okay okay , i know i only written a bit in that post dated - um , i cannot remember . lol .
but i think i said that i will be checking ?
yupp , should be .
lol .
SO , what i want to share with you is the FINAL PRODUCT .
I'VE DIY-ED A SHIRT .
and i've even washed it to ensure the marker inks won't come off .
my mother was saying if my friend was to wear it on a rainy day , the results would be like ;
people crying , and smears of low quality mascara and eyeliner .
well , if it were high quality the make-up will stay !
that's what i'm trying to say .
i hope i put it across in lousy description so you can understand . :D
[ note : oh my god , i think my english / nouns / language / verbs / usage on describing things is like ... lol . ]
and i'm super excited !
i'm going to give her later .
let's hope she loves it as much as i loved to draw on it !
well , i do not really love to draw on it .
markers on cloth material is seriously hard .
i mean , it's not the same as paper .
it's not smooth .
it's hard to write with marker .
and i can't find fabric markers ! urgh .
never mind .
i tried it on too !
'cause i was afraid it would be too big for my friend .
think i looked kind of like those hip hop people ?
'cause they wear big baggy shirts and still look cool .
lol .
-OK OK , FORGET WHAT I SAID -
alright , enough of my babbling ;
i want to show you the shirt i've designed !
oh , and it's inspired my taylor swift's music video - You Belong With Me !
'cause when i saw the shirt , i was like , it's so nice and cool .
lol .

the pictures are on top .
the one with 'MY 17TH BIRTHDAY IS THE BAS 'CAUSE...' is the front ;
the one with 'ZY DIY-ED IT FOR ME' is the back .
i've tried to drag it (the pictures) down but don't know how to .
lol . :]

IF ONLY !

I'M SO SAD NOW . )=

my dad just set a computer rule .
i use for one hour , then rest for three freaking hours !
oh my god .
what do you want me to do during the three hours ?
IT'S MY HOLIDAYS FOR GOODNESS SAKE .
and when school reopens .
i don't have time to play anymore .
all the projects will come .
and i'll be busy . )=

sigh .
i was all excited going to share with you what i've read in the Bartok book .
[ note : refer to previous previous post for book name and author ]

okay . so here's something roughly describing what i've read :
Bartok inteprets famous composers' works in his own way !
and for the pieces he composes himself , during his recording , it is totally different .
deviates from written score .
that's what the book says .
so , why can't i be like Bartok ?
intepreting scores MY way !
and nobody to say ' no , it must by allegro so it must be fast , you can't be slower than this speed ' etc .
you see , isn't that cool ?
if i get to intepret my own style i mean .

and Bartok , in his recordings , sometimes there's omission of bars , etc . changes in speed too .
just thought i'll add on . :]

so ...

IF ONLY I WERE A FAMOUS PIANIST / MUSICIAN .
yeah , and one thing Bartok sees the piano as a percussion instrument !
so i can get to bang the notes .
unlike classical / romantic ;
you can't bang the piano when it says f .
though it's loud , you can't play really loud .
kind of duh for me .
lol .

i'm currently playing No. 2 of um , Bulgarian dances / 6 dances in Bulgarian rhythm .
heh .
i can't remember the exact name .
though i'm writing program notes for that .
lol .

and my left hand feels kind of sore right now .
bang too much ? lol .
'cause after reading that Bartok book , i was inspired to play the No. 2 dance .
speeding up from the speed i play , and banging notes !
and it's fast too .
so it's fun . :D

and SEE YA ! :D

FIXED !
Posted on Friday, October 9, 2009 @ 11:21 AM | 0 lovely comment(s)

yay ! i've fixed the blog template already ! :D

i don't think i will be changing it for the time being .
editing the template is seriously seriously work .
i want to salute those people who has created these blog templates .
they make it so much easier for those who don't know !
(aka me)
A VERY VERY VERY BIG THANK YOU !
YOU GUYS ARE GENIUSES !

but still , you have to do some editing to the template .
ie . those self-introductions parts . :]

and i can't make those things below the playlist disappear .
as in those three extra boxes below the playlist .
i tried deleting the words yesterday .
and then ended up that the archives section was gone too .
i've changed the linking part to playlist .
so people will know what songs it is playing ! :D

and a friend of mine , her blog , doesn't have archives !
i think it's really clever .
and cool too .
'cause people cannot see what you've written before .
but i'm not removing my archives from my blog page .
'cause i think it'll be easier for me to refer if i want to read the posts . :D

ohh , anyway i have an idea for my friend's birthday present .
a t-shirt that i'm going to design !
but thing is i don't know if you can just use plain markers .
hmm .
i'll check .
will update you if i still decide to this idea . (:

anyway , going to cook fried rice !
it's been a long time since i've last cooked .
so i decided to cook today !
got to go , TTFN ! :D

FED UP
Posted on Thursday, October 8, 2009 @ 8:22 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

IS SUPER FED UP RIGHT NOW .
THE BLOG SKIN IS SO URGH .
AND MY MOM IS NAGGING .
SHALL EDIT IT AGAIN NEXT TIME .

Taylor Swift
Posted on @ 7:43 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

yes ! you've read the title .
there , it's Taylor Swift !

as you can see from what I've introduced for the blog page .
I'M CURRENTLY IN LOVE WITH TAYLOR SWIFT'S LOVE STORY SONG !
the music video is perfect !
her hair style is way very very cool .
but my hair's not long enough .
and i have no idea how to make it too .

I'M IN LOVE WITH THE SONG - YOU BELONG WITH ME , TOO !
it's about this geeky girl who has liked this guy for quite a long time ;
and has done a lot for him .
ie . 'i'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry'
and it ends with a kiss at the prom .
happy ending !
perfect song , isn't it ? :D

but i can't sing the first two parts nicely.
'cause the last few words is too low for me .
[ note : i mean the tune , of course . ]

and i've even googled to see if she has a blog .
and yupp , turns out that she has .
and she updates them like once a month .
unlike me ( who is apparently super free ) .
lol .

and the way she types her blog is just like the way she speaks !
kind of happy and hyper .
hmm , or is it bubbly and hyper ?
all in all , she's a real cool person !
i really look forward to listening more of her songs . :D

hope i've convinced you well enough to listen to the songs i recommended !
you can find it at youtube , and both songs has seriously very high hits .
SEE YA ! :D

something i think is interesting
Posted on Wednesday, October 7, 2009 @ 12:38 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

HELLO !

read something interesting .
well , i THINK . lol .

before you accuse me when you read :
i'm not plagiarizing !

i guess i'm just too drilled in this plagiarizing thing . :D

okay , so it's about No. 6 of Fifteen Hungarian Peasant Songs by Bartok .
there's word painting .
eg . you feel angry , therefore the music sounds angry etc .

so . about this !
it says that -

oh wait . i forgot to tell you the source . LOL .
The Cambridge Companion to Bartok .
Edited by Amanda Bayley .
so those interested can read and find out more .
okay , i'll continue now . :D

- this No.6 is a

tragic story describes the death of a young woman , whose lover leaves
her after she discovers she is expecting her baby .
her lover returns and , finding her in her tomb , kills himself with a
dagger .
the mood of the musical setting is foreboding , lyrical , wistful and above
all tragic ... (other words here)

when he finds his beloved already dead , he drives his knife into his own heart - graphically depicted by the harsh and dissonant chords in the last two bars .


OKAY , I BLOCK QUOTED WHAT I COPIED .
so don't accuse me of plagiarism .
i stated the source too ! :D

so that's what i found interesting .
i shall go youtube to search for this !
i'll try . :D

-AFTER A LONG TIME-

i cannot find it !
urgh . thought i might be able to 'listen' to the story .
disappointed .
never mind .
BLOG , SEE YOU !

another book !
Posted on Sunday, October 4, 2009 @ 7:31 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

i've read another book ! hahahah .
Reconstructing Brigid by Lee Nichols .

it's somewhat of the mystery type . :D
the protagonist , Brigid something (sorry i forgot , lol) , has motorphobia .
it's quite serious .
this phobia of hers . =/

anyway , i'm so sorry to the author .
i've spent almost the entire day reading this .
and .
i forgot the job title of Brigid .
think it's reconstructionist something .
sorry sorry . :X

but it's something like what you see in those CSI shows .
but more the road stuff .
tyres thing . lol .

so , basically this is about checking the death of Jody .
'cause she disappeared . and died .
so Brigid goes to check on this case .

read the book to find out more !
again , i'm kind of disappointed that Brigid did not end up with Aaron White .
why is there hardly any romance in these books ? !
*sigh* x infinity
and he's kind of like a womanizer anyway .
lol .

okay , shall stop now .
write soon ! :D

Book-end
Posted on Saturday, October 3, 2009 @ 9:47 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

HEY BLOG . :D

hmm .
i've just visited a friend's blog and was wondering :
why ain't the time of her post showing ?
well , 'cause mine is .
lol .
never mind .
it's not that important anyway .
plus i don't want people to know i have a blog .
yet . :]

anyway , i have finished reading 3 books today !
not really thick anyway .
let me just share with you the title and rough synopsis .
if i'm in the mood to share .

okay , first book !
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do .
by 4 authors , who i shall not name here .
'cause it's too long . lol .

it's like a collection of books with 4 different stories on breaking up .
the one i like most is the second story .
called Don't Mind Me .
it's a really cool story you should definitely read .
'cause she can read minds after a kind of car crash !
well , she got a bump on her forehead .
does that count ?
lol .
and she's off for revenge when a guy did something really evil (my POV of course) .

next , let's talk about the second book !
How I Changed My Life by Todd Strasser .
it's quite a -well- not very thick book .
kind of unexpected , disappointing ( maybe ) ?
'cause i was expecting the 2 characters to fall in love by the end of the book .
that's the most i'll tell you .
read to find out more .
hahahah !
[ note : that's my evil laugh ! ]

FINALLY , the third (and last) book !
Hysterical Blondness by Suzanne Macpherson .
it's about how a brunette gets the blond fever .
'blond fever' in my own words , it's not found in it .
but basically that's about it .
read to find out more !

i just wished there's more romance in these books .
'cause apparently there's none in real life .
lol .
hmm , am i starting to sound like a sadist ?
i hope not . XD

TTFN ! :D
[ note : that's Ta-Ta-For-Now ! kind of like bye-bye but in a English way ? lol . ]

random obsession
Posted on Friday, October 2, 2009 @ 12:42 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

anyway , i came across a web which spells bitch as biotch !
which i think , when pronounced , is the same as bi-yatch or beyotch .

LOL . ok , just being random here . haha . XD

and i'm SO NOT obsessed about that word !
lol .
okay , never mind .

I'VE FIGURED OUT HOW TO ADD A VIDEO !
I'M GOING TO TRY AND INSERT A VIDEO ! :]

T_T

i can post own videos instead of those on the net .
TSKKKK !
I DON'T KNOW HOW MY FRIENDS CAN DO IT .
URGH .

sorry blog . *sigh*

mooncakes !
Posted on @ 12:22 PM | 0 lovely comment(s)

okay ! so it's pretty obvious what i'm going to share today huh ?
yupp , that's right . mooncakes ! :D

anyway , side-tracking a bit .
i've come to a conclusion .
shorter sentences do make reading easier !
i've been reading lots of stuff on the internet .
yupp , so that's that .

BACK TO TOPIC !

sunday is the mooncake festival !
[ note: i'm not exactly sure what festival it is called in english . XD ]

my mom has been bought mooncakes .
and the best hotel / restaurant i think is :

DRUMROLL .

the fairmont hotel !
or sze chuan ge in chinese .
i'm not sure how it's called in english too .
lol .

so , you may wonder - WHY ?

um yeah , before i answer that , let me tell you which type of mooncake i like .
it is the snowskin type .
i don't like those traditional ones .
the ones where it is oven baked .
and the cooks or chefs (or whatever) have to bake them in advance .
so that by the time is near to the festival it will look darker .
which is something like look more enticing for the people to buy . =]

ok , back to the question !

WHY ?

1) the hotel's signature snowskin definitely you CANNOT compare them to the neighbourhood shops . it is soft and super nice .
2) the fillings inside is super nice ! it's called lian rong is chinese .
3) there's chocolates inside them ! but i don't really eat them 'cause i'm scared of outbreaks . XD

hmm , that's about it .
but it is really really nice you should go and try them !

SIDE-TRACKING AGAIN !

i want to talk about the nails i've painted yesterday !
inspiration strikes best when you don't have any idea in your mind .
i mean , that's for me .
'cause i've tried doing a 'S' shape with my red polish and it turned out ugly with my gold nails .
in the end i covered it with black . lol .

okay , let me describe it again .

WHAT YOU NEED
-base coat
-gold nail polish
-black nail polish
-white nail polish
-top coat

HERE'S WHAT
1) paint base coat .
2) paint 2 coats of gold nail polish .
3) take your black nail polish and draw a line in the middle of your nail .
4) paint crosses with your white nail polish . anywhere you want on the nail .
5) paint top coat .

AND IT'S DONE ! :D

remember , inspiration is best when you don't have an idea !

signing off .
write soon ! :D
