" 'Why' is a question that is much purer than its answers."

I promised myself to think about this one day. Haha... I have thought about this nearly everytime. However, I still feel that I have not grasped the essence behind this sentence. Hm. Simply put, our answers are never pure because, in one way or another, they will always be altered, thus biased to oneself. We, as humans, only trust what we observe and hear. Usually, we do not always spent some time to think about the other point of views that might possibly exist. That being said, we make our conclusions based on limited information, and ultimately, reasons that support our own opinions. Thus, our answers could be described as..."impure"? Going back to the sentence, 'why' is a question that is much purer than its answers, the questions that we ask(the word 'why'), are usually in its purest form because they are not altered, in the sense that there are no opinions involved in the questions we ask. The questions that we ask are made mostly out of our own innocence, directly from our hearts. Does this answer the question? Frankly I don't know. Somehow I feel something is lacking in it. Haha...

Qn.) Assuming Time Machines Existed. So Why One Cannot Change The Past?...

Ans.) An event led to the construction of the time machine. If that event had never happened, the time machine would never be created. So how could we change the past?

A day of thoughts......

Some days, I just couldn't seem to concentrate on anything... So what is the most common thing to do on this days? Daydream. Daydreams, and most people think, are not negative habits. In fact, daydreams are ways and means that we try to express our creativity, or to gain personal "enlightenment".
This being one of those days, I just sat in the corner of the my room--nearly half a day--thinking of all sorts of things. Practically, my mind was just wandering onto any subject. Soaring, some might say. At first, I was thinking of recent movies, then it went to Star Wars. Somehow, it went from Star Wars to something I might consider philosophical. Heard of that short, green creature in Star wars? Yoda. Right. What was his most popular phrase? "Do or do not. There is no try."
Ever since I heard of that phrase, I can't help but ponder over it. Do or do not. There is no try. Well, some might say, oh, heck, who cares? However, I feel there is something more to it. On a very superficial level, it meant that you either do or do not. There is no such thing as trying. However, if that is the case, then how did this phrase--"you never really failed, until you fail to try."--come about? It makes no sense to me. Then again, things are never certain and fixed. So, on a deeper level of understanding, which only struck me only today, was this: "do or do not" don't really mean that. Instead, what it might be hinting at is, in only trying, you are not putting in your best in something. In order to succeed, you HAVE to BELIEVE in it, you must put your whole heart into doing it.
So far, what that I have written are only opinions. They may not be certainly true. In fact, we never are near the truths of this world. Our answers are hardly the truth. They are mere opinions.
Thus, it brings me to another saying: " 'Why' is a question that is much purer than it answers." Perhaps, one day I would think about this again...

I had to extract two of my teeth today. Both from the right side of my mouth. Frankly, I was very nervous, cos I had a phobia, all thanks to a nurse. I remembered that day... She pulled out my teeth, and when I screamed in pain, only then she realised that she forgot to put anesthetic. Grrrr.... At least, today's extraction made me feel less afraid. At least the other two teeth to be extracted next week would be much easier.

Haha... this joke made me laugh till I cried... This, I would like to shar with you guys...

Have a break...

So the new Lord of the Rings movie is coming out, and you want to impress some Ah Lian or Ah Beng har, you're trying to buaya by being able to explain the whole complicated plot with all the funny sounding names and words. You want to seem like you've actually read all 3 books, but - damn suay -even The New Paper is too 'cheem' for you. Neh'mine! Dun scared!

Here is our easy-to-understand guide to J.R.R. Tolkein's trilogy,
written specially in the conversational style of Ah Bengs, so you can memorize:

THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING
Last time got this short-short person with si-beh hairy legs called Bilbo, lor. He, hor, got this ring that last time belong to some monster. But then, hor, one
day suay-suay the monster want it back, and send his kar kiah to Bilbo's house to settle, lah.

But the ring, hor, acherly can make people very powderful. But then, hor, if you wear too long will also kena sai. Si beh hiong one, so better faster and destroy it, lor.

So Bilbo's nephew Frodo. Aiyah, dun ask me why their name all so funny, can or not? You ask me, I ask who? Anyway, Frodo and some peng yew kena arrow to go and destroy the ring. But donno why also, they must do it in the monster's home, which is at the end of New Zealand there.

So they walk and walk and walk across New Zealand, lah. And then along the way, got monster chase them, got people want to hoot them, some of them dieded, all sorts of thing, lah.

At the end, Frodo and Sam, his pwooi-pwoi friend who I think so is a bit ah quah, got separated from the rest.

THE TWO TOWERS
Frodo and Sam meet up with this thing called Gollum, who look like he take too much Slim 10 like that. At the same time, hor, the other friends get into some powderful hooting session, where, wah lau eh, even the trees can do gongfu one. They all fight over what, I also donno, but quite kan cheong, lah.

THE RETURN OF THE KING
In the end, Frodo and his peng yew all win leow, lah. Arbuthen?
