I know that time will tell me what i need to know
tell me where to go
tell me how much to live for
I know that words cant show me all the things to see
The things i need to be
the things i know i want to know more

More tickle tests. Har har.
What degree suits me?
A degree in Public Service and Education is right for you
When you set out to do something it's usually because you know it will make a positive difference in someone's life. You believe that by helping out individuals and small groups, you can make a bigger impact on the world at large. And once you get going, it's hard for you to take on a challenge or cause without devoting your entire self - and everything you've got - to it.- yea right

Hello? Is anyone there??
You know something I've felt for awhile now is that whenever I type out something in my blog, its like as if I'm talking to myself. So does that mean im a naturally chatty person who just prefers not to talk to anyone....or just crazy?
I'll have to be honest now. I liked the idea of having a blog because it was the easiest way to broadcast my crazy ideas, my wacky behaviour, and my more poetic side. It's just easier that way so I dont have to tell people what im doing or how im feeling all the time. And so I dont have to repeat myself, which isnt something I enjoy, incidently.
But now. I feel like i should try to be more humble and not want people to know what im doing, like im some celebraty. I cant even spell right.. e.e
i also feel like its time to write my thoughts out honestly and privately into a diary, like what ive been doing for the past 10 years or so.
but i still enjoy sharing pictures and random thoughts. so what should i do?
hmmm..... see im doing it again. talking to myself... . . .

Experiment #2
If you've read the Da Vinci code, you'd know that the main character gave a lecture on the Divine Proportion. A number called PHI which ,apparently, all things in nature resemble. I was pretty intrigued by it so I decided to try it out.
They claim that PHI = 1.618 is a proportion found everywhere...in nature and even in some of our more prominent buildings. So my uncle and I measured ourselves and did the math...
Length from shoulder - finger.
me : 675 mm
uncle: 685 mm
Length from elbow - finger.
me: 410 mm
uncle: 410 mm
Length from hip - toes.
me: 890 mm
uncle: 924 mm
Length from knee - toes.
me : 430 mm
uncle: 460 mm
Length from head - toes.
me : 1590 mm
uncle: 1675 mm
Length from belly button - toes.
me: 963 mm
uncle: 965 mm
shoulder:elbow ratio.
me - 1.646
uncle - 1.671
average - 1.659
hip:knee ratio
me - 2.07
uncle - 2.00
average - 2.035
head: belly ratio
me - 1.651
uncle - 1.736
average - 1.694
So as you can see, nothing very extraodinary. However, I have a couple of reasons why the numbers were close but not exact...
1) We weren't measuring properly. Like we just did estimates based on some measuring tape
2) We weren't quite sure about where to begin and where to end. Like what the book means by shoulder could be different from where we started measuring from etc.
3) Like all thing, I guess its a matter of average from a fairly large sample size.

Credibility?
Yknow what I find really weird...
Say you're at uni right, and you're studying towards something and say you're in 3rd year and therefore are only 1 year away from working. So that means you should, by that stage, have about 2/3rds the knowledge and experience necessary to get you a job. Right?
BUT if you have a theory about why certain things are certain ways,nobody listens to you. Cos you're "only a student". BUT if say you had started working, a mere 12 months later...then they would believe you. Because you're "working in that area".
Isn't that weird? People have such prejudices..
For example.. last new years I got food poisoning. Probably from the scrambled eggs I had that morning. Of course I know the probable cause of my agony. Because it came out in my exam, for crying out loud...
Aunty: " What did you eat!? "
Me: "I think it was the scrambled eggs this morning".
Aunty: " Eh. How would you know that... ".
Me: (thinking... should I launch into the full-fledged explanation about Staph? Hmmm... ) Cos I didnt have anything else that would have caused anything.
Aunty: " What about the fruits? "
Me: " ... . . . . nick (my cousin) also had fruits. He seems fine" .
Aunty: (looks at me irratatedly at my confidence. Probably thinking, kids think they know everything. )
