conspiracy!!!
i have uncovered e BIGGEST scam in e entire human existence!
(i'm telling u.. u'll luv me when i'm thru w this.. )
okay.. let's start by asking yourself a series of simple qns:
- which bugger invented studying?
- since u can never ever finish studying everything there is possible to "study", y do ppl keep trying to scale new hts to keep studying stuff at higher levels etc?
n there's more..
e human being is made up of a super complex nervous system.. w chemicals and electrical currents passed all over e place.. the biggest concentration of which occurs in the brain. it is possible to use e entire brain.. (like how brainy guy einstein used 99% of his while e average dude uses just 5%) when u nerdify urself, techincally u r just trying to use a bigger portion of ur brain.. e more u rack ur brains to find solutions to e impossible maths qns for eg, e more chemicals n electrical currents r sent within e brain n our body..
e more such rubbish is travelling thru our body, e greater e energy we possess. making it more susecptible for highly charged electric fields to discharge itselves on us poor humans.. (read: greater possibility of being struck by lightning)
n as w all societies, it just takes one guy to come up w smth "funky" for everyone to follow.. so.. this could be a highly highly probably scenario:
in e fields of green green grass dotted with tribal huts.. everyone goes abt their daily business of hunting and gathering for instinctual and basic survival.. but one slacker chooses to stay in his little hut and think.. postpulating abt the universe, science, maths, philisophy n what nots.. as all this is taking place.. his brain use increases tremendously.. creating a huge source of electric discharge for e gathering rain clouds above him... being the genius he is.. he realises he will soon be struck by lightning and fall dead, and not be able to think anything at all anymore.. n so.. being the genius he is again, he devises a masterplan.. "why not," Brainiac thinks, "make the concept of thinking popular with e tribal ppl, n with everyone on earth.. so tt with everyone's brains as charged-up as his, the overall effect is negated, n i wont haf to die from a lightning strike since there will be similar brain-fields all over e earth, so e lightning abovehead is equally distracted by similar brain-fields all over. ahhhh..."
and bingo. here we r.. being crushed by the indespicable weight of encylopedias and books and *gasp!* exams.
so.. just like how there is Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, and Einstein's special theory of relativity, i hereby present to u:
Jia Hui's theory of the redundance of thinking and the needlessness of schoolwork/exams
think about it kay.. if all of us (or simply a majority of the world's population) just simultaneously drop school, quit thinking (ok, so techincally tt's not possible but just control against thinking when u can).. we will be able to revert to our primal but no less enjoyable state of life.. say bye to books and hello to mindless fun! n e best part is.. freaking nerds who refuse to give up mugging will all get struck by lightning.. n we all dont hafta be intimidated by their freakingly smart brain anymore! woohoo.
i'm sucha genius arent i.. :)
pls remem me when my theory finally gets adopted. thanks, i'll greatly appreciate that.. :)

An older lady gets pulled over for speeding.....
Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Older Woman: I'd give it to you, but I don't have one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to
see.
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls
for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer
slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman
steps out of her vehicle.
Older woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and
murdered the owner.
Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite
stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving
license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it
to the officer.
The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a
license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the
owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.
haha, rubbish..
paradox.
like how every sec of living actually translates to one sec closer to dying..
n how to be able to feel happiness, u must haf first felt pain..
n how to recognize light, u hafta 1st know what is darkness..
irony.
like how i can miss someone so much and yet be too busy to even talk to tt someone..
:(
n here's smth quite unrelated, but surfaced during a probing conversation w wei min abt dreams..
a qn to think abt..
idealism vs practicality.
if e endpt of things r 99% chance gonna end up bad.. wld u rather live ur life miserable knowing for a fact that there is no way out, being cynical n jaded.. or wld u go abt being happy n hopeful for as long as u can.. chasing a dream that might indeed work out by tt 1% chance.. crash if it fails, but hey at least u know u tried..
delusional? maybe.. i'll still choose e latter..
but i remem talking to ryan some time ago abt this too..
i'll chase my dream, if i allowed myself to haf one in e 1st place.. but what's it?
i'm scared of dreaming alr.
case of e mighty paradox. or is it irony? (someone pls save my lit..)
anw, i'm missing him.. :(

Thank you - Dido
My tea's gone cold, i'm wondering why
I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
My head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there,
They'll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad
It's not so bad and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
Push the door,
I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now
I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me
And I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

stuff u prolly didnt know, n wouldnt need to know:
The word "yo-yo" and the modern yo-yo design come from the Philippines. Unlike the original Chinese and Greek yo-yos, Philippine yo-yos (the word means "come come" or "come back" in the native Tagalog language) had the ability to "sleep." This unique toy may have been an adaptation of the Chinese yo-yo, or it may have developed out of a Philippine hunting weapon. In any case, it dates back at least a few hundred years in the region.
In the 1920s, a Philippine immigrant named Pedro Flores decided to bring this yo-yo design to the United States. He achieved some success right away, and in 1929, he sold his company to a businessman named Donald Duncan. Duncan trademarked the name "yo-yo" and, over the next few decades, built his company up into the premiere yo-yo manufacturer.
Duncan's competitors released similar products, under several different names (including "twirler" and "whirl-a-gig"). But the public adopted the term "yo-yo," leading the rival companies to challenge Duncan's trademark. In 1965, the Federal Court of Appeals ruled that the term had become generic, and so could be used by anyone. In the same year, the Duncan company went bankrupt, selling the Duncan name to the Flambeau Plastics Company, which still sells Duncan-brand yo-yos today.
school's officially starting today.. tt shld explain things..
