I am not a literature students, but I have always love literature, if not sometimes for the complicity of their languages. It is sometimes hard to phantom, thus, I will refer to people's interpretation, while trying to construe the literature, my version of literature. Chinese or English, both I take it. Even the Greeks, the latin and so on, the Arab and Eygptian, all are for me. For the books are my oyster. Of course, all these will be layed down in front of me in the most common language, English, also known as the universal language of Science (Though Math is considered to be by academics, but I myself will like to think Math is an international and universal expression of Science). Of course, grammars will be my errors. But, the inscrutable words, phrases and sentences should also be resolved, by my best friends, the dictionary - the electronics or the book. And also internet and the library are my world.
From the above paragraph, people may think of me as a nerd. But, hey, to be fair, I love outdoors and sports too, though I try to excel, but talents are sometimes not nurture itself. I love chess, love to drink tea, sit outside, view outside, and love the feelings of a pleasant breeze in a salubrious place with wonderful ambience. All these nature, Singapore might not provide me, but going outside just to have a walk, looking for a variety of delicious and famous foods, life is full of excitements, and everyday is a new thing. Of course, while working or like serving NS, time can be squeezed. Being more busy, does not mean that we cannot enjoy, or merely, we enjoy less but still enjoy. Playing chess, finding people that are better and on par with me, finding people with the same notions as me, and in emotional side, finding my love, relish the romance, all these will be stupendous and perfect.
I am a Science student, a Science - minded person, but I have never downgraded Arts or anything. I love arts, love opera, even the dying wayang kulit and the endangered Chinese opera. Paintings, drama and concerts, all are before me. Of course, money is also the factor, but in a country like Singapore, and with many chances, to get what you desire may not be that easy, but is not impossible.
I still update myself on the recent Science news and notions, how many theories come and go, or even only exist sometimes or with a certain requirements. Thus, while I make it a point to think of new things and how things can be done, can be improved, hopefully in the future when I have the capability, to create, to invent and to ameliorate.
Trying to be exuberant, is extremely hard. For me, I am bornt in a family background that trains me to be introvert, and maybe I am bornt to be more introvert. But of course, with courses and education, and the idea of a society, and in a country without natural resources for us to fend independently, I got to be extrovert. But sometimes, being like this, disgusted me as I feel like a hypocrite as I am faking. But I realise, in order to put this as part of me, I have to constantly remind myself never to be too shy to do anything, but of course not to be overly overt. For this, maybe now I still do not have a romance, but let fate, luck, God, and myself do the talking soon. Sooner than I can think of.
I do seek solace in literature works and story books. All the puffin classics like The Mutiny. the 3 Musketeers and so on, I have read. Even the Dan brown story series like the Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, they are wonderful. I do read works like the Lord of the flies by William Golding. I must say I am very impressed by this person who bears that same name as me.
The story is about how man can become extremely evil if there are no laws and order. Also without punishments and rewards, law and order will be meaningless. This is why punishments and rewards are a must in life as stated in the philosophy of Qin Dynasty. Golding used children as the characters as children are supposedly the most innocent of all. The most purest and the beginning of all humans. How these children turn into Babarians and savages, This book is a must to read. I have gained a lot of insights from this book. It is however impossible to input all the things I have gained into this blog, but I have hold discussions with my friends and people who have read this book. The good thing about literature is there is nothing wrong about your judgement as long as it is logically justified in contexts. This is also an example of a contradictory world. We need something though it may cause us harm, something that should not be present are present in situations.
Anyway, Lord of the flies, is a strange name. And I have spent my time at MRT, mulling over it. But I bump into a documentary that talks about documentary on Deomns. Lord of the flies are basically for the demon and devils, but specifically Baleef (I forget the spelling). Because, when death occurs, It is always present. In the past, people witness flies hovering where there are carcasses. In Science, this is part of decompostion and detritivores. But to the people in the past, this witness an aspect of evilness. So, people associate evilness, corrupt and savage with the flies and the lord. In Christian, 3 demons in the world are strongest. Supposedly and accordingly to them, Lucifer is Saturn, and Baleef and another being which I have forgotten also.
Anyway, there is so much things to talk and so much excitement. Wow, no wonder what I input may be a little jumble, and this is why a focus and boundary is sometimes required.
That's all for now, feel like writing a book on how I thought, and compile them. That will be wonderful. For me, and for the others who might gain for my insights ....
