Hi everybody! Hi Dr. Chua! yup! everyone say hi to Dr. Chua! Just realised after today's meeting that there are 'invisible' audience at this here blog. haha! the omnipresent as they say. WEll, always glad for an increase in readership. It's a world where ratings count. Dun worry you all! The content on these pages will never change.

Yeah, so went back to SGH to discuss the paper. discovered that the deadline for abstract submissions was postponed to july the 9th. haha...added time for procrastination. Well, thankfully I already finished the outline for the abstract because with everyone deserting at this point in time I would have been left high and dry. Aargh!! To all of you I'll get my revenge. haha....maybe I'll just escape without letting anyone know. Hey Kor! Planning to visit you! Better have your house all made up and furnished by the time I get there! haha....I'm a tough customer to please. I can't help it I had a society full of excellent tutors.

So once again the infamous question, heard it on the first day we met to discuss the project and heard it now and again: Dr. Howe's "Do you have a life?" question. ( ALso comes in version " Are you having a life?" )

Sigh...how apt a question. Each time it's asked, I'm thinking--Socrates "An unexplained life is not worth living " Much as I would like to equate gaseous exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide and brain activity as living and having a 'life'. I do think there's supposed to be a deeper meaning to the word 'life' (Aaaargh!!!...must strive to think out of the box! Must not be close minded! Must not think like a Singaporean!!!! But it's my liberty right?? That's for another discussion)

That question is unanswerable. I wouldn't be doing my favourite philosopher Ol' Soc justice if I didn't ponder and question myself. To me, an unexplained life is not life because life is unique to one and all and if you can't explain wat you're dong here than it's just pure existence. I'm not going to settle for that. SO as all of you know, I'm still trying to figure out what the hell am I doing here? I dunno...but I do know that answer does not lie on these sandy shores. Actually, I think that ironically enough my 'life' here has already been systematically 'explained' and dictated. So well...with whatever semblance of an individualistic mind I have left I am going to refute that explanation. So well, yeah...still searching for that explanation which will take a life time to answer. So...guess I won't be answering that question anytime soon Dr. Howe. haha...I'd like to find the answer myself.


Cheers!!!
