Epiphany

Just last night I had an epiphany while lying on bed trying to sleep. I don't know why, but I get all my epiphanies when I'm trying to sleep. It's like the Epiphany Toilet from scrubs..except it's a bed. Anyway.

Some of you may recall that awhile ago I questioned the meaning of life, why we live. I believe I have found a satisfactory answer(to me at least) for those questions. Now the big question: Why do we live?

My friend Austin said, "Because we don't want to die." While he has a point there(yes, austin...) I don't think that's it. A couple weeks ago I was watching an interview of David Belle and he was talking about how when he does training some people stare at him. He gave an analogy and said that if you press pause just when a monkey is in mid-air, and you ask him, "Why are you doing that? Why are you moving?", then the monkey would just say, "And you? Why are you NOT moving?" Of course I've watched this interview a couple of times, but it didn't pop into my head then.

Last night I was posting a reply on the forums, and it made me think again about the meaning of everything. I thought again about the interview, and I realized that it's all in the perspective. Instead of "Why?", ask yourself, "Why not?". When you want to do something, and you feel the hesitation, and you ask, "why do I want to do this", instead you should think, "Why not?" and if you can't give yourself a reasonable answer, then you know that you should just go ahead. Now some of you might be going, "DUH" but be honest with yourself: have you seen things this way before? There is a difference between UNDERSTANDING a perspective and actually ADOPTING that perspective. Once you stop asking yourself Why and start saying Why not instead, all of a sudden, you see possibilities, because if your whole life you're going, "why?", you will just be restricted by your fears. The answer to the question, "Why do we live?", then, from this perspective would become, "Why not?" Because you're gonna die one day, and the length of your life does not actually change the fact that you WILL die, why not live life to the max? Do you have any reason not to?

Armed with this perspective, go out into the world and look at the things around you. Why? Why not? This being said, I am going to attempt to master backflip again tomorrow, even though the last time I tried I panicked mid-flip, fell on my back and slammed my knee into my face. Shed your inhibitions, and you will learn that life becomes so much better.

WTF.

Hi all. Let me give you a little background before I reveal a shocking piece of information. The time is 2355 hrs, and I'm doing my bio assignment(I DO HOMEWORK). I get bored, so I decide to google my name.

*Opens Chrome*
*Types in "Ooi Teck Chye"*
*Views results*

*1st result: A compo I wrote in P6 that was kept on my primary school website. I read it. They edited it. Those chimps.*

*2nd result: (and this is it, brace yourself)

For those of you too lazy to click the picture and read....here's what the circled parts say.
Circled Sentence 1: Fear of imminent execution
Circled Sentence 2: Ooi Teck Chye, aged 46, Fishmonger
Circled sentence 3: Ooi Teck Chye was sentence to death on 11 September 1991 after being convicted by the Kuala Lumpur High Court of possession of heroin

And I'm sure you guys can see the big WTF in the middle. My mind has currently been blown away by this. I think this is the only guy with the full official name of Ooi Teck Chye in the world apart from me...and he's a loser?

This ranks about a 7 on the Scale of Calamitous Events:
1: I wrote a bad story
2: A bunny died
3: 2 bunnies died
4: Bunny massacre
5: Some funny guy died.
6: Someone I know well died.
7: I died.
8: I died, came back, and died again
9: Many people died
10: 0h n0es 1t'5 t3h ap0c4lyps3 lolololol wtfbbq lollerskaters roflcopter !!!!11!1one!!!
11: A really cute girl died
12: More than one really cute girl died.

I've been able to hit under a minute for 400m at night woots. 59.75 secs if my watch can be trusted(it can). I'm not sure though. Felt like the track I was running(at the neighbourhood park near my house) was more of 380m or 370m. Gonna try on school track someday. I run faster at night anyway. It's more cooling.

Sniping under a second in blackshot woots.

Hi all

I realized that my blog post titles lack a lot of creativity. Anyhoo, I'm very bored. And alicia tagged me on facebook for some reason I cannot fathom....
