Some words i looked up today: Labels: Clarke Quay, food, Jostein Gaarder, Results, TIME, words
Schadenfreude--basically it means delight at other peoples' misfortunes
Mien- inner state of mind, character worried mien, i tend to link it to the word demeanour
indefatigable--from the word fatigue, meaning seemingly incapable of feeling fatigue
indubitable--from the word doubt, meaning unquestionable
I don't really know whether you should blame it on weak constituition or i should just throw up my hands and say "I'm so DAMN SUAY", because ms moon has fallen sick again. This seems to be a "at least once in 3 mths" occurence hence it shouldn't be treated lightly. But i totally dread going to the doctor and i can't overcome that inertia to knock on the doc's door. Self-medication will do this time, again.
But don't worry, just a light sore throat, cough, and flu. Should be over within a few days.
Anyway, i just read the last issue of Time and i think most of us should go get a copy and read the few articles on the power of the mind and on how scientists can't seem to fathom how the mind works. The article on consciousness especially intrigues.
Have been reading Gaarder's Solitare Mystery lately and the fiction book's brings you deep ideas of philosophy: in discovering the mysteries of the world and the greater universe and also in identifying the truth that man not only knows not much about himself, but also knows almost nothing about his surroundings and the universe. Gaarder's books most often is linked with religious explanations on the worlds' mysteries and his ideas are almost linked with God and greater beings whom he's still grappling to identify with. But because of the way the book is written, with usually great story plot and interesting philosophies, he sometimes sucks me so deep into his story that i'm almost converted to believe in some of the "scientifically-unproven" theories that he has come up with (although i'm not a "God-believer" in true sense)
However, after reading these scientific articles on man's attempts to try to explain his own thoughts, im once again brought back to closer reality (It's understandable since i'm usually not much of a philosopher myself) that we shouldn't declare that man is being foolish in thinking that he knows a lot, and in being too absorbed with himself. A lot of scientific discoveries and theories stems from philosophies that man himself came up with, and at least when man declares that he knows very little about the world, he tries to at least prove with effort that he is trying to grapple with what's closest to him: his inner state of mind and thoughts.
I don't really know what i say makes any sense, it's a bit of preliminary thinking, so all those ideas might look more like a rough sketch than a thoroughly thought out piece, but i'd just thought philosophers and scientist can actually shake hands and make friends.
Enough about the woo-ha about all these....went shopping with Jac at Vivo yesterday and snatched some bargains. I bought an S & K long sleeve top for less than 20 and it's been so long since i got something from S & K (presumably because this top didn't look as S&K, blah blah). And i bought something for less than 20 from Zara?!(Can you believe it?!)
Went King's Satay at the Cannery after that, i really love Clarke Quay's atmosphere at night:
King's Satay is famous for its.............Satay! Duh.
Murtubak was good.
The prata wih "unique" topping was good too.
Roti John was good "three".
When it comes to good food, im lost for words. Anyway, King's Satay is a must-go because no service charge no gst, hohoho.
Oh....and weiyingermei scored an 8 for the O's. Wootx, one point better than me. Now,it's time for her to be in a dilemma, S.A or no S.A?
BTW, i'm soooo soooo worried about the A's.
