And I love the thought of giving hope to you.

Inconsolable by The Backstreet Boys is so nice for those easy-listening days. "Baby I don't want to waste another day, Keeping it inside it's killing me."

Anyway, I managed to catch the Greatest Game Ever Played. It really was better than I expected. Like, very intense... Not something you'd normally watch in the movies. I really don't know how to describe it.. perhaps the vocabulary is not yet in my range. Yes, agreeing with Mel, Shia is a very good actor. I remember watching him in Even Stevens and thinking about he being SOO annoying. I kinda hated that show because of him.. guess he really did a fine job in annoying me... THAT'S being a good actor.

Super Size Me was HORRIBLE. I mean watching the guy puke through 30 day's worth of Macs is NOT the best thing to watch. But the sizes they serve in America are Atrocious! I mean.. A small coke here is their kiddie-size. And our kiddie-size? Well, don't let them laugh too hard.. I think I'll lay off Macs for a while... probably a day or two... haha..

I have the youth mass to go to later on. Prob with the usual gang. Belle, Tia, Anne, Joan, maybe Sam... Nat can't go! How saddening... Poor girl... she lives in Bukit Timah (I think... Bukit something at least...) and she still comes to the east for church... I think the Talkatives are decreasing in number... it sure feels that way... or maybe it's just my imagination.. because I don't remember anyone else being in the group. Well, that's a half truth. I do, just don't like bringing up the past... do you KNOW what I mean? No.. well.. your loss buddy.

"And if Mr. Ouimet wins tomorrow, it's because he's the best, because of who he is. Not who his father was, not how much money he's got, because of who he bloody is!"- Harry Vardon

"Although I'm not a golf fan, I attended a sneak preview of this movie and absolutely loved it. The historical settings, the blatant class distinctions, and seeing the good and the bad on both sides of the dividing line held my attention throughout. The actors and their characterizations were all mesmerizing. And I was on the edge of my seat during the golf segments, which were not only dramatic and exciting but easy to follow." - A review on IMDb

I honestly can't get The Greatest Game off my head! I don't even know why I find it so good. Anyway, I watched so many movies lately, I can't keep count of them all...

Boa VS Python was interesting... I watch some of it before and decided to watch the entire thing on AXN last night. Right now, My brother is playing some star wars theme, which make me want to watch THAT as well... Well, not really.. I'm not into Science Fiction.. But the theme music is real intriguing. Anyway, back to the giant reptiles. They look fake, probably feel fake too... But, again, exciting to see them rip off people's bodies into half. (Hey, I have my morbid moments too..) Like some Video game, The python tore off this hunter's chest and his legs (hips still attached) just collapsed to the ground. A bit of an exaggeration really, but I'm just in for the entertainment.

Anyway, this morning, I felt so tired that I screamed at my maid for tidying my parent's bed because she was making so much noise I couldn't sleep. I was quite happy that I could FINALLY wake up late, and so I (still half-asleep) picked up my phone to find out that it was only 9.30. I managed to force myself not to get up till 10.30. I really did try.

It's only 1pm! I wanted to catch Racing Stripes on Star Movies... But again, I don't feel like turning on the Idiot Box... 4 more hours to get ready for the Youth Mass! Anti-Anne! (sorry darling. heh.)

"You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress." - Sixpence none the Richer.

My BROTHER is ANNOYING me! Yes Mel... it's the same one...

I can hear the bells

I can hear the bells, my head is spinning. - Hairspray 2007 OST, I can Hear the Bells

I am ABSOLUTELY hooked onto the Hairspray 2007 Soundtrack! I know it's a little bit late... but who can blame me? The songs are fantastic, the beat is catchy... AND it's retro. Need more?

It's Friday! Normally I would be in school... but instead.. im bumming at home in front of the laptop listening to my playlist and typing away.

I want to watch The Greatest Game ever Played. It stars Shia La'beouf (however it's spelled) and it's about Golf! Haha... i always had a slight interest in the sport... but it's too expensive to pursue now... maybe if I'm able to afford it next time..

I already missed it twice... The first time for reasons forgotten and the second time for church... God forbid I'll ever catch the entire thing! "Mr. Ouimet" ooh... don't you just lurve the French? Absolutely gorgeous!

That's at 7... My mother is coming home from a seminar today... I wanted to go pick her up with Dad, but if it means missing the show, then the notion can say arrivedachi! (again, the spelling may not be accurate.)

So from now, (2pm) to 7.. i have 5 hours of a) bloghopping, b) reading Fan Fiction and c) trying to find unaddictive anime. Ok.. screw the last thought... like that'll ever happen. Anyway, I think i'll be able to squeeze in tv as well... too bad i'll be missing Drake and Josh.. I was hoping for a few laughs... Ever After was on TV! I think the plot is fantastic... using cinderella and the 15th century... how ingenious... i wonder why they put Drew Barrymore as the lead though... she doesn't suit the whole 15th century look... maybe someone a little more believable? I don't know...

I can't remember the first time I saw it... but I was in love with it then... after a few days... forgotten... but some scenes remained etched in memory.. And then last year, Afiyah was watching it at my house.. and THEN i realised that it was the show that had captured my adoration so. I think Douglas Scott is hot. Like Fresh soup off the steaming pot hot... and YES, i am capable of thinking certain people are hot.. THANK you.

Tired from staring at the screen too long, I caught 2 late-night movies on tv. Smile and Material Girls. They are SOO contradicting... the first one was such a FANTASTIC movie... not enough plot and subtance.. but I cried because I felt it deserved some tears. It's about these girls who have the same birthday. However, one is a spoilt high school student in CA, Malibu while the other is a disfigured Chinese girl living in a modern chinese village whose father was a man who found her abandoned in a straw hut. Her father is the most sacrificial, loving man I have ever seen on the big screen. I mean, there are always shows about daddys, but this actor portrayed his character so well, I cried. That's right folks, Stephanie de Souza cried at a movie. Anyway, the father actually chose his daughter over his wife and legit son. Because he loved her so much. He even raced to Shanghai with her in tow to get plastic surgery for her disfigurement, which ened in a crushed arm when he got hit by a car. Ahh! The movie was just so great. Actually, the Chinese father-daughter moments were the best. The rest of the movie was quite mediocre.

Material Girls was so expected. What a surprise that the girls ended up with the guys that they meet in the beginning of the show. And WHO would've expected them to SOLVE the mystery?
And OMG! They were RICH again? NO SHIT! So cliched really...
Anyway it was entertaining... and I was bored... so yeaps...

I managed to sleep at midnight... in order to get enough sleep... my body clock is now set at 10am.. so in order to maintain maximum energy (not that i NEED any) I have to sleep at midnight or 2am latest... I can't survive if i sleep at 4am... I'll DIE.

Waiting for Supersize me to load... ohh the joy!

Pool Party in 3 days... So nervous...Sigh, please kill me now.

A stupid continuation cuz i'm bored.

"One could not simply awaken from their sickness-induced slumber and find distraction in their environment. It was too honest, too blunt for her liking. The patient could not wake up and be granted that delicious moment of confusion before realising who they were, and why they were there. No, instead they were greeted with the whiteness, the scarceness of their world." - Prey

Wanna know what I figured while showering? Maybe, the reason why I'm not affected by the whole 'phase' thing, is because I have a crush. Without it, perhaps things would be different... I really don't know...

And Conditioner is great when you feel moody!

I shall leave you with quotes from 'Friends', my all-time favourite sitcom.

[Joey comes out from his room wearing ridiculous clothes. He has to look nineteen for an audition]
Joey: 'Sup? 'Sup, dude?
Chandler: [putting his hands up] Take whatever you want, just please don't hurt me.
Joey: So, you're playing a little Playstation, huh? That's whack. Playstation is whack. 'Sup with the whack Playstation, 'sup? Huh? Come on, am I nineteen or what?
Chandler: Yes, on a scale from one to ten, ten being the dumbest a person can look, you are definitely nineteen.
-----
[Monica's been leaving candy for the neighbors outside her door, and they got hooked on it] Chandler: Hey! Pipe down! This woman tried to do a nice thing so she could get to know all of you and I bet not one of you can tell me her name.
Neighbor: ...Candy lady?
Chandler: Okay, that's it. Go home! You ruined it!
Joey: Yeah, you ruined it! You ruined it! [goes inside the apartment, and starts eating the candy]
Monica: Thank you. I was really scared for a minute, I mean, somebody slipped a threatening note under the door.
Joey: [takes note] Oh, yeah. Sorry about that. Mob mentality...
-------------
Chandler: Oh, yeah, I'm a gym member. I try to go four times a week, but I've missed the last... twelve hundred times.
--------------
Judy Geller: Well, he better not come by here. He can't see the bride in the wedding dress.
Nora Bing: As I recall, when we got married, I saw the groom in the wedding dress.
Charles Bing: But that was after the wedding. It's not bad luck then.
Nora Bing: Honey, it isn't good luck.
---------------
Ross: You know, we should probably ask the doctor if she even knows how to deliver a baby that's half human, half *pure evil*!

And my fave quote of all!

[Rachel is nervous about leaving Emma alone in the apartment for a few minutes]
Rachel: What if she jumped out the basinet?
Ross: Can't hold her own head up, but yeah, jump out.
Rachel: Oh my God, I left the water running.
Ross: Rach, you did not leave the water running. Please, just pull yourself together, okay? Rachel: Ah, did I leave the stove on?
Ross: You haven't cooked since 1996.
Rachel: Is the window open? Because if there's a window open, a bird could fly in there.
Ross: Oh my god, you know what, yeah, I think you're right. I think... listen, listen.
Rachel: Huh?
Ross: A pigeon, a pigeon. No, no wait, no, no, an eagle flew in. Landed on the stove and caught fire. The baby, seeing this, jumps across the apartment to the mighty bird's aid. The eagle, however, misconstrues it as an act of aggression and grabs the baby in its talons. Meanwhile the faucet fills the apartment with water. Baby and bird still ablaze are locked in a death grip, swirling around in the whirlpool that fills the apartment.
Rachel: If that happens now, you're going to feel SO bad.

Day Two of 'What the Hell am I gonna do?'

Let's see.. Einstein's Theory of Relativity was something simple yet complex. energy equals to mass times time squared. or.. E=mc²
In other words, periods of time can be longer or shorter than what they really are... which gives meaning to the phrase "Time Flies." It's like a party when 5 hours seem like a minute, or when you finished your exams early and the second hand on the clock seems to move slower and slower.

Which is what I am experiencing now at this moment. I don't know if time is passing by or slowing down or just shitting me.. but i DO know that if i continue this vampire behaviour and wake up at 10 again because i absolutely HATE sleeping on the floor, then i will surely die when wednesday comes.

On the bright side, I have been thinking about my pool party. Like.. what if it isn't all that? I mean.. the seveners found it fun, but can it compare with other people's houses? I mean.. it just happened that only I instigated this pool party thing (Wynne did it too, but hers was once.) and so they liked it.. and we did it again. But it seems that more and more people are hosting parties... and well, I guess the only thing I have going for me is the Branding.. ('Steph's Pool Party', not available in all departmental stores. Accessories sold seperately.) Hopefully that's enough...
Anyway, it's too late to cancel anything... Or maybe i should. I really don't know anymore..

Yesterday at Elaina's, they were acting really mental... like getting-atop-another mental... and that really grossed me out. I mean, yeah.. all in good fun... and we still are in that phase one calls 'teenage adolescence.' but still...
I really think I will never be affected by this... i mean.. sure there was this time (oh no... people are going to ask questions..).. but it lasted like.. a month? Hmm.. i blamed it on entering secondary school.. haha.. still do..

Then ruby asked if i found anything wrong with lesbians... how was i to tell her that i did find them quite appalling... not that i don't accept them... i think they're alright and all.. but it's really sad and unnatural... i am not an anti-les person over here, don't get me wrong... i just really hope that it's a phase... and that they'll grow out of it...

Hmm.. moving on...

I guess with the end of exams, comes band... in which i am the sectional leader. Which is quite fine really... but scary too... I'm just hoping I don't screw anything really badly...

And with that, I'm done. Hope you have a great day!

Probably a short term thing...

HAHA! That's right... I'm finally bored enough. That MEANS it probably won't last long... like maybe... till next year... HEH.

I wanted to try one of those blogs with poetic posts... but honestly.. i couldn't care less...

What has taken place since January 2007?
Basically..
- I came out of OBS unscathed and wanting more..
- My birthday passed without much injury
- My midyears stunk shit.
- Had another pool party.
- Finals recently ended.
- Having another pool party
- On the verge of planning my sweet 16th.

OKAY, and a thousand and one more things... but why focus on the history of the past rather than the dreams of the future? That's a quote from a guy whose name slipped my mind.

My other favourite quote is by Eleanor Roosevelt.. it's the one on the skin. The picture btw, is of Tokyo Disneyland's Cinderella Castle. It looks AMAZING at night, unfortunately, my not-very-good camera did not do the picture any justice. Oh well, I still think it looks fantastic.

Any friends reading this blog, please make sure your link is up to date... apparently, the lack of visiting blogs means i have no idea whose blog is where. Also, I'm feeling too lazy to go check with people... maybe some other time.

And again, I emphasis that this blog will not last... I can't continuously keep to-date my blog, like Elaina, or Ruby... it takes too much time and effort that I would rather spent doing absolutely nothing or actually studying... which I recently found quite pleasant during my 2-week hiatus off the computer because dear-ol'-mummy thought my term 3 results were horrendous. Which I am not disagreeing with... but the lack of internet has messed with my brain. I had to turn to Dai Di for destressing... which is NOT the best thing to do when you have all that pent up frustration in you and all you wanted to do was to play abit of online games. It could turn to real gambling. Really, it could.

Already, I was toying with the idea of learning to use money for the time-passing amusement. My reaction to that thought? TV. And lots of it. So my mind doesn't wonder like that again.
Anyway, I think it's a phase... it'll pass. Which brings me to ask myself why I am so scared to get addicted to Anime. (Which i force myself to hate because the addiction is fatal.) And then old memories of Habbo Hotel, Audition, and Hana Kimi, among other things came sliding into my mind... That's why I don't want to start reading anime. At least with the above stated, I can a) play it until mother is forced to lock the computer, or b) wait till it ends. I can't just PUT down a book. I have NEVER put down books unless forced to or it turns out to be less interesting than i thought.

Today I spent at Elaina's... I came early and played cards with her while listening to her complain about the people not going. And then they came. Together. Surprising her. I kind of felt quite stupid. Like.. 'Wtf am i doing here? Shouldn't I be over there? Or not...' 'Great that she was happy... hopefully I wouldn't feel so stupid after that.'
Well, things were not really that fun. I don't know if it's me or them. It sometimes feels like I don't belong. I guess in the way, I am a hypocrite. Because my character changes to fit the people around me. Insecurity? I don't want to go there. Not now anyway.
That's just the thing with me. I don't like to express my thoughts online. Not anymore.. it's like I'll probably get those cold stares... and something is BOUND to offend someone, somewhere. Stupid isn't it? I hate blogs. I especially hate my own. Because I think just commenting on the day's events is crazy. Like, 'who cares what happened?' I honestly think blogs should be for expressing opinions... whether heart-felt or casual. Which, i repeat, which cause an uproar with the class the next day.."OMG! do YOU know what she wrote in her blog? She said she thought I was dull! DULL! Screw her!' And then, not a day later, you get the toys that come with the happy meal... people ignoring you... blogging about what you said (in subtle, not-so-subtle words, nonetheless)... and treating you like the 60% off dye-tied shirt hanging on the discount rack. The whole package. Bloody A, isn't it?

It's like that vicous cycle coming to bite you in the ass. There is no more 'freedom of speech' one longs for. That's rubbish. Shit they say to make one feel uncontrolled. Like anyone really is... 'Freedom of speech' is the most over-abused, bullshit, untrue sentence that has ever made it to political vocabulary.

Oh, in case you think I'm getting emo here... i'm not.. it's quite hard to try and say politically-correct things while half-asleep at the moment (it's almost 1 in the morning.) and feeling particularly snappish because the time-of-the-month just knocked.

Any more things to add? Trust me, plenty. But I will not hesitate to slump my head onto my keyboard at any moment. Anything I do which puts my precious laptop in jeopardy, only makes me want to hit people more. And more.

AHHH... NO!!

OBS is in.. 2 days... OMG. GAH!!! im soo.. MIXED.. should i be scared?? feel nothing?? be happy?? WAHH!!!

Anyways that's means i won't be blogging... but i will BE blogging about IT... eventually... it's part of my 'eng assignment' anyways... just imagine... part of SCHOOL CA?? They have officially nothing to DO...

I finished this presentation on slavery yesterday... it's REALLy sad to read about these people..

i don't know what to blog about... A MATH? the ANNOYING, STUPID, FRUSTRATING crap they call MATHEMATICS??? The FACTOR THEOREM, REMAINDER THEOREM, LONG DIVISION, SUBSTITUTION... AHH!!!! MY head is going is burst soon!!!! SO MUCH THINGS!!!

let's see... let's do a sum!

5x³ + 3x² - 4x + 4 = (x - 4)(x + 2) Q(x) + bx -a

substitute in suitable values of x to find the values of both a and b.

and Mrs Loy ain't making it easier... i heard ALL the a math teachers are like that though.. so maybe it's a good thing i got M Loy..

I STILL need to pack for OBS.. which i haven't done... and i THINK im gonna get my period on the day itself... i REALLY REALLY hope it doesn't happen to me!!! It already came to me during the Japan Trip... so PLEASE, God.. PLEASE don't let it HAPPEN to me!!!

READ THIS AND SMILE (:

"LET ME EXPLAIN THE problem science has with Jesus Christ." The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. "You're a Christian, aren't you, son?""Yes, sir.""So you believe in God?""Absolutely.""Is God good?""Sure! God's good.""Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?""Yes.""Are you good or evil?""The Bible says I'm evil."The professor grins knowingly."Ahh! THE BIBLE!" He considers for a moment. "Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help them? Would you try?""Yes sir, I would.""So you're good...!""I wouldn't say that.""Why not say that? You would help a sick and maimed person if you could...in fact most of us would if we could....God doesn't."[No answer]"He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?"[No answer]The elderly man is sympathetic. "No, you can't, can you?" He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax. "In philosophy, you have to go easy with the new ones. Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?""Er... Yes.""Is Satan good?""No.""Where does Satan come from?"The student falters. "From... God...""That's right. God made Satan, didn't he?" The elderly man runs his bony fingers through his thinning hair and turns to the smirking student audience. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun this semester, ladies and gentlemen." He turns back to the Christian. "Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?""Yes, sir.""Evil's everywhere, isn't it? Did God make everything?""Yes.""Who created evil?"[No answer]"Is there sickness in this world? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness. All the terrible things - do they exist in this world? "The student squirms on his feet. "Yes.""Who created them?"[No answer]The professor suddenly shouts at his student, "WHO CREATED THEM? TELL ME, PLEASE!" The professor closes in for the kill and climbs into the Christian's face. In a still small voice, he asked, "God created all evil, didn't He, son?"[No answer]The student tries to hold the steady, experienced gaze and fails. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace the front of the classroom like an aging panther. The class is mesmerized. "Tell me," he continues, "How is it that this God is good if He created all evil throughout all time?" The professor swishes his arms around to encompass the wickedness of the world. "All the hatred, the brutality, all the pain, all the torture, all the death and ugliness and all the suffering created by this good God is all over the world, isn't it, young man?"[No answer]"Don't you see it all over the place? Huh?"Pause."Don't you?" The professor leans into the student's face again andwhispers, "Is God good?"[No answer]"Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?"The student's voice betrays him and cracks. "Yes, professor. I do."The old man shakes his head sadly. "Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?""No, sir. I've never seen Him.""Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?""No, sir. I have not.""Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus... in fact, do you have any sensory perception of your God whatsoever?"[No answer]"Answer me, please.""No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.""You're AFRAID... you haven't?""No, sir.""Yet you still believe in him?""...yes...""That takes FAITH!" The professor smiles sagely at the underling. "According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son? Where is your God now?"[The student doesn't answer]"Sit down, please."The first Christian sits...defeated.Another Christian raises his hand. "Professor, may I address the class?"The professor turns and smiles. "Ah, yet another Christian in the vanguard! Come, come, young man. Speak some proper wisdom to the gathering."The Christian looks around the room. "Some interesting points you are making, sir. Now I've got a question for you. Is there such thing as heat?""Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat.""Is there such a thing as cold?""Yes, son, there's cold too.""No, sir, there isn't."The professor's grin freezes. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The second Christian continues."You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit 273 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold, otherwise we would be able to go colder than -273°C. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it."Silence. A pin drops somewhere in the classroom."Is there such a thing as darkness, professor?""That's a dumb question, son. What is night if it isn't darkness? What are you getting at...?""So you say there is such a thing as darkness?""Yes...""You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something, it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light... but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, Darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker and give me a jar of it. Can you... give me a jar of darker darkness, professor?"Despite himself, the professor smiles at the young effrontery before him. This will indeed be a good semester."Would you mind telling us what your point is, young man?""Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with and so your conclusion must be in error...."The professor goes toxic. "Flawed...? How dare you...!""Sir, may I explain what I mean?"The class is all ears."Explain... ohhhhh, explain..." The professor makes an admirable effort to regain control. Suddenly he is affability himself. He waves his hand to silence the class, for the student to continue."You are working on the premise of duality," the Christian explains. "That for example there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science cannot even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism but has never seen, much less fully understood them. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, merely the absence of it." The young man holds up a newspaper he takes from the desk of a neighbor who has been reading it. "Here is one of the most disgusting tabloids this country hosts, professor. Is there such a thing as immorality?""Of course there is, now look...""Wrong again, sir. You see, immorality is merely the absence of morality. Is there such thing as injustice? No. Injustice is the absence of justice. Is there such a thing as evil?" The Christian pauses. "Isn't evil theabsence of good?"The professor's face has turned an alarming color. He is so angry he is temporarily speechless.The Christian continues, "If there is evil in the world, professor, and we all agree there is, then God, if He exists, must be accomplishing a work through the agency of evil. 1 What is that work God is accomplishing? The Bible tells us it is to see if each one of us will, of our own free will, choose good over evil."The professor bridles. "As a philosophical scientist, I don't view this matter as having anything to do with any choice; as a realist, I absolutely do not recognize the concept of God or any other theological factor as being part of the world equation because God is not observable."The Christian replies, "I would have thought that the absence of God's moral code in this world is probably one of the most observable phenomena going, Newspapers make billions of dollars reporting it every week! Tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?""If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.""Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"The professor makes a sucking sound with his teeth and gives his student a silent, stony stare."Professor. Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?""I'll overlook your impudence in the light of our philosophical discussion. Now, have you quite finished?" the professor hisses."So you don't accept God's moral code to do what is righteous?""I believe in what is - that's science!""Ahh! SCIENCE!" the student's face splits into a grin. "Sir, you rightly state that science is the study of observed phenomena. Science too is a premise which is flawed...""SCIENCE IS FLAWED..?" the professor splutters.The class is in uproar. The Christian remains standing until the commotion has subsided. "To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, may I give you an example of what I mean?"The professor wisely keeps silent.The Christian looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's mind?" The class breaks out into laughter. The Christian points towards his elderly, crumbling tutor. "Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's mind... felt the professor's mind, touched or smelt the professor's mind? No one appears to have done so." The Christian shakes his head sadly. "It appears no one here has had any sensory perception of the professor's mind whatsoever. Well, according to the rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science, I DECLARE that the professor has no mind."The class is in chaos.The Christian sits.
