Some thoughts in the car on the way home from dinner @ Queenstown:
1)If you think a lot,technically,you'd learn something from everything you feel,see,touch,smell,taste.
When you start out as a child,you'd touch something and discover if it's smooth or rough.As you grow a little older,you start to wonder what's it made of.Then,you wonder why it's rough or smooth.
Feelings can teach you things.Causes and impacts,and why you are feeling that way.
The others are basic senses,with which you discover different sights,smells and tastes.
It's quite fascinating how curiosity develops more and more as people grow,how thoughts get deeper with each maturing step they take.
2)What's the limit of a human mind,or does it even have a limit?
For every person,there are two worlds.The one inside,and the one outside.For every 88 people,there are 89 worlds.No two people's inside worlds are exactly the same,like thumbprints.
Every person shares the world outside,but each and every person rules their own one inside.The world outside can be so boring,because after so many years,we have accustomed to routine.People wake up,brush their teeth,have breakfast,go to work,etc.
People in the world outside think it's crazy to do certain things,like trying wingless flight,or eating other people (Hannibal!),things like that.In the world inside,however,you can choose what to put there.People whom you don't want there,you can get rid of them.You can choose what you want to happen there,anything at all.
It's like dreaming,and nothing can hurt you in that world.
I had my 2.4km run at NYJC today.Thought it would be easier for me since I exercise regularly,but noooo.The first round seemed easy enough,but by the middle of the second round,I felt like I was dying,and what was most depressing was that I had 4 1/2 more rounds to go,and a time limit to fall under.My air passage closed up halfway so it was really difficult to breathe.The sweltering heat made me feel like my legs and feet were on fire,despite having socks and shoes on.They burned as if they were held over an open stove,I could almost imagine the orange-red flames dancing.
I had a goal to reach,and it was to get an A for my 2.4km run,which meant that I had to complete the run under 14.11mins.I felt like giving up halfway,but I pushed myself to the limit,coming up with reasons not to give up.It felt like total hell.I wasn't even told whether it was my last round or not,and when I ran past the group sitting at those large stone steps,they shouted some confusing stuff about me having finished my run,I was so flustered.I was furious at them for that,thinking that I missed my A because of it.However,Iffah told me I got my A.Isabel almost fainted or something,so Iffah helped me record my timing.I went to the group of PE teachers sitting not far away,asked for the standards of A.When I found out I really did get an A,I smiled to myself,glad that I finally reached my goal of getting 30 points Gold for my PFT.I never could do it,and for years I tried,but I probably only really made the effort this year.You know,extra stretching and training and stuff.
Now I'm aching every possible place in my body,even walking hurts now,but I'm happy and satisfied with what I've achieved.
