Reflected dimensions

Wow.
Tu je yang boleh cakap sekarang.
It has always puzzled me how people up front could be totally different from what they project themselves to be on screen, online.
But I shouldn't be too shocked, eyh?
It is the same when people you know for a fact that they are generally nice people (you never know them well enough to be sure) could be devils on the road.
Haha.
Masa tu semua sumpah seranah, jampi serapah semua keluar. And I'd be glued stuck to seat, hanging on for dear life.


Kadang-kadang terkejut bile bace org curse online. Never thought that such foul words could come out that angelic mouth. Uh, stop. Memang x pernah keluar, taip je kan. Somehow they rationalize it to be different.

So now I'll repeat what my friend told me. I'll never stop being amazed at how true it is:
People have many different dimensions

So don't be fooled into thinking that you know somebody inside out, maybe you're only looking at only one of the many dimensions posessed by that individual. The dimensions are not always continuous like a sphere. Rather, I like to think personalities have sides like cubes or diamonds. What you see at one angle may not be the same as the other sides that you can't see. We all have our own dark secrets or just secrets...it doesn't have to be a bad thing. Mind you, I am NOT talking of bipolar disorder or any mental diseases. The different dimensions that we have would work together synergistically to reflect our whole being. The colours that we shine forth from ourselves, as another beautiful unique colour in the world's canvas.
This is what makes us different and sets us apart from all the rest ;)

Mind transcension

If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
~Albert Einstein
Read this and this.
I am puzzled by the tendency of some people to theorize and judge everything. It's seems to me that when something is too big for them to understand, they'll break it down to little pieces just so that it could fit into their own little minds.
..sometimes when something so big is broken into something so small, the reality that is apparent and vivid when seen as a whole is lost and replaced by something far more inferior.

Why can't we accept that there are so much that we could not even dream to understand?
Why can't we see the beauty of not understanding, of not knowing something that is beyond the limits of our own mind?
Refusal to accept the fact that there is something much more, something much bigger that what is grasp by our understanding would hamper our progress because we are unable to overcome that one stumbling block that lay on our paths. Acceptance of the reality that there is a greater power would enable us to fly far beyond the reaches of our mind.
Where science fails, philosophy starts.
Where the senses weaken, faith grows stronger.

Answer me this: can a diamond be cut by something less than a diamond? Can a knife made from the hardest iron make even a dent on the diamond?
The answer is NO.
How can the mind, which is itself something created, figure out the Creator?
How can something so weak be attested to something greater?
If you are an honest person, you can't possibly defend this.

A scientist's job is to figure out the laws that govern the universe, complete with facts and evidence that can't be refuted. However, there is a tendency to deny and sideline everything that could not be explained simply because the mind can't take it. Could it be that when something goes against the accepted conventional wisdom and we judge it to be wrong, it really means that we are incompetent enough to not know the difference between false facts and false theories? How can we blame the evidence when the evidence is what is in front of us?

Too many questions unanswered, just because the answer is too damn obvious. It is an cowardly way out they say, to credit/blame everything to divinity.
But isn't it an easier way?

...this is getting too heavy. I got to stop now and leave all of you to your thoughts: wherever that may take you.

Aku ingin

Aku Ingin

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana
dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan kayu
kepada api yang menjadikannya abu

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana
dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan awan
kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada

Sapardi Djoko Damono (sasterawan Indonesia)

Lembut bahasanya...
Sebenarnya tak perlu pada kata-kata dashyat atau berlebih-lebihan. Kata-kata yang mudah namun sarat dengan makna pasti lebih senang difahami dan diingati.

Puisi ini seperti membawa makna yang sedih namun indah. Cinta yang tak terluahkan, hanya mampu ditanggap oleh yang mahu mengambil waktu sebentar dari hidup untuk meneliti sekelilingnya: kadang-kadang apa yang tidak nampak nyata tidak semestinya tiada.

Yesterday I watched the movie Definitely, Maybe (2008).
I really think that a decent regular funny guy like Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds) would really be heaven sent ;)
