New Year, New Resolutions(not quite)
Hey Happy New Year everybody! haha does it even matter if it's a new year or not?Did u read the small column in Sarawak Tribune a few days ago?every atomic clock in the world was programmed to have 1 extra second before it turns all zeros juz becoz the planet has irregular speed and they had to fix that.God, what is this world coming to?? ^^;;
Anyways, I've finished Veronica Decides to Die.. and i have a new year resolution!(not quite,really) hehe. It is to live life as it is, not caring what others would think if I do something crazy or something I really wanna do which they think is crazy..
Now, this is for those who have ntg else to do and lots of time to waste, which very few of u do hehe.. but anyways, here's a review of Paulo Coelho's Veronica Decides to Die.It talks about a young girl who has all the things in life any girl would ever want : beauty, boyfriends, financial stability, love from parents.. But she feels there's sting missing, so she commits suicide. It fails, and she ends up in a mental hospital where she is told that she has less than a week to live..this creates in her an awareness of life.. and death, and also prompted the ppl in the asylum(some were crazy some were not) to rethink about their own lives.It depicts the real meaning of insanity and links it with our everyday life which we consider to be normal..
I'll present three very nice parts from the book to attract ur attention to it, coz i really want u guys to read it. First is a story of a kingdom.. Now, they were in a war, and the enemy poisoned the well from which the population drank from with crazy potions.. So the whole population went crazy except the royal family coz they had their own well.The king tried to calm the population by setting new decrees and laws, but his army and superiors were also nuts, and turned against him and wanted him to step down from the throne.. so the king decided that he would also drink from the well of madness.. with that, the people calmed and approved of the king once more. because they were all insane ^^ get it?
Second is about the keyboard ur typing on right now. It's called a QWERTY keyboard becoz of the arrangement on the first row.. ever wondered why they are arranged it like that? Well, the first typewriters in the world were inefficient and got stuck and jammed all the time coz the typers type too fast.. Because of this the designer,Christopher Latham Sholes designed a keyboard which made the typer type SLOWER so that his machines dont jam. if u never knew, go and educate urself .. http://www.maxmon.com/1874ad.htm , http://home.earthlink.net/~dcrehr/whyqwert.html i think this is absurd, why a keyboard which slows u down? why not make a better keyboard on which u can type lots faster?why do ppl go with just what they're used to?
Third one is about clocks.. u know the terms clockwise and anti-clockwise.. now, why does it go that way, why not the other way? well, long ago, there were ppl who had clocks running anti-clockwise.. no, this ain't a joke and it's not from harry potter.. you can look it up. but because a nobleman had a clock which ran 'clockwise'(the way it runs now), everybody took up the design.. nobody wanted a clock that ran 'the other way'. now, it is accepted as the natural way a clock should go. lalala.. hehe
well, anyways hope these stories made u think about wat really is normal and wat is not.. here's an advice.. don't always go with the flow.. take control of ur life.. be normal, not wat others think is normal.
