Origins of Life

Are we it?

Is human intelligence the highest possible emergence state?

Or is it possible that there might be higher order of emergence?

If so, then it is also possible that our individual brains can no more comprehend such a state than a single neuron can comprehend consciousness.

Perhaps the universe holds levels of emergence beyond individual consciousness and beyond even the collective accomplishments of human society.

If thats true, then the story of life's origins and evolution is far from over.

Indeed, perhaps the story has only begun.

Violence

Through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder.

Through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth.

Though violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate.

Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that.

New Year Resolutions 2010

It has been so long since I've updated this blog...

New year resolution 2010

1. Charity

2. Diet - resist the temptation of food

3. No more excuses!!

I guess focusing on three is good enough.

I wrote 10 the last time, but didn't get much done.

Will try to update this blog more often.

Just been plain lazy...

O.M.G. 我的神啊！

Ever wondered why people say O.M.G. （我的神啊！）but not O.M.B. （我的佛祖啊！）or O.M.MG （我的孙悟空啊！）？

I actually like the latter better.
Monkey God is kinda cool.
Definitely one of my favourite character (only 2nd to Piggy which I find rather cute).

Lets build a trend and start saying….

O.M.MG!!
我的孙悟空啊！！

Mid-year Resolution Review

Quick review before its too late to work on this…
1. Lose weight? Maybe a couple of kgs. Need to work on this!!
2. Residual physical damages… not fixed. Ongoing treatment but back into badminton.
3. ‘The’ gal of my dreams… have to say ‘yes’ for this one as my gal’s reading this blog. Haha.
4. Golf handicap… should be around the 60mark. Still a fair way to go.
5. Charity – ongoing (hopefully thru the recession).
6. Good food in Perth… still the same old but trying out new stuff.
7. One additional investment… does a gf count? if not then I’ll still need to work on this.
8. Trying out something new… haven’t done anything about this yet.
9. Spicing up life in Perth… there’s definitely some extra spice in my life now I guess!

You guys have any luck with your resolutions?
