We're at this stage in life where we reminisce too much of our near past, worry too much about our near future, are
too clueless about everything that can, will, may happen to us, think we know alot, think we don't know anything,
am confident about the wrong things, take pride in wasting time away, want too much but want to do too little.
Ohwell.

Time
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine.
You know, I've been thinking, that it's not sleep that helps replenish our energy. Maybe it's because we shorten our days when we go to sleep. When you fall asleep, three men in black suits are elsewhere taking away your time. And so for those people who sleep early (like me), we actually only effectively live perhaps 18 out of 24 hours a day. Which is why we don't feel so tired. Because we only used up 18 hours of energy.
That's why for those that hardly sleep, the three men in black take away a smaller portion of your 24 hours. (They only take away a part of the time of your sleep.) And so you have to live longer a day, and use more energy that day. Which is why the next day you feel lethargic. And you use less energy in the same number of hours to make up for the loss yesterday.
Actually I came up with this because no matter how long I slept, I always feel that I didn't sleep that long. 10 hours of sleep feels like 8 hours, 8 hours feel like 6, and 6 hours feel like 4, 4 hours feel like I didn't sleep at all.
Or perhaps the three black men do not only take away our time during our sleep. They take away time when we least paid attention to it. Like why sometimes some lectures seem to end so quickly but in others, the seconds seem to take its time to stroll. Haven't you always felt that the second hand seems to deliberately move slower when you stare at it? And then when you're not paying attention, 60 minutes pass ever so quickly?
And then we came up with reasons to support these feelings, like "When you're hard at work, you don't realise time is passing" or "The lecturer talks so slow, of course time seems to crawl lah" or "Time always flies when you're enjoying yourself" etc. But why? Why can't it be our feelings are the ones that are right and someone (or some people, since it's three men in black) is really toying with our time?
For all you know, we may be just miniature toys that exist in some little boy's cupboard. You know, those cartoons that you watch, where the toys have a life of their own. Maybe we're that small. But we manifest everything. Maybe this little boy just happens to have a toy globe. And we're mini particles on that globe. Maybe everything that happens around us is not due to those scientific reasons we concluded ourselves. Maybe an earthquake happens merely because he shook the cupboard, or he tossed another toy into the cupboard and it hit the globe. Maybe we imagined the continental and oceanic plates moving.
Maybe you're already crazy. Maybe what's going on around you is your imagination. Maybe you're actually in an asylum, imagining a life of your own. Maybe all that you see is in your mind. Maybe you aren't even reading this now.
Another thing is, Micheal Tay said if a particle can exhibit wave properties, that is, squeezing through a hole very very very very very very much smaller that itself, it'll begin acting like a wave. And will be able to time travel. So does that mean waves time travel? So something I hear now may not be just said, and may have been said in the past or in the future? So I can hear something that hasn't been said yet?
And anyway, are humans particles? Then why is it that we can very naturally walk in the streets without having to collide with people very often? (You know, we learnt it in Chemistry and Physics that particles like to collide and then vibrate and blah blah blah.) Why is it that people have the ability to walk among a crowd without always having to bump into others? Why is it that when we walk, we know whether the person coming in our direction is going right or left? Why is it that two people who're walking in the same line, and will knock into each other if they continue in this direction, able to split into left and right without having to communicate at all?
I remembered back in Sec one, Mr Lim told us that there was this experiment where someone took two digital stopwatches, started both at exactly the same time, and then had one stopwatch on ground, and another stopwatch flying in an aeroplane all around. And at the end of the experiment, the stopwatch which was flying around showed a shorter time lapse than the one on ground. And then he stopped explaining further because he thought he was confusing us. -.-
Anyway, the point is.
There's no point again. When does my blog ever have a point. Dumb.
Okay. Sorry for wasting your time. ._. Bye bye.
