work today was interesting. haha. i went in with the thought. chinese new year card done. nothing left to do. i would probably be doing nothing before leaving at 1. true enough. spent 4 hours reading today, reading wiki and playing my ds.

but really interesting stuff. was reading movie news today. so i went into the plotline of minority report which was really cool, bringing out the themes of predetermination vs free will and utopia vs dystopia. den coupled with wad i read from terminator which went on to theories like self fulfilled prophecies. good stuff. den read about the scriptwriters strike, death note and jurassic park 4. but i think time travel really interests me alot. imagine if i could appear in my room to myself on the night of 14 march 2006 and tell myself, "wadever ur thinking of doing tmr, or wadever u could be thinking of doing tmr, dont do it man! not that u ll regret it, but this will come to nothing!" i wonder how my life would have been. but den again, thats the interesting part u see. an example would be

In The Twilight Zone 2002-2003 revival, there is an episode in which the character goes back in time to assassinate Adolf Hitler while he is a baby. She kills the baby (whom she presumes to be actual Adolf Hitler), but the nanny (discovering the death) replaces the baby with a street gypsy's baby, and she presents this baby to the father as his own. The father proceeds to introduce this son to his guests as "Adolf", presumably the Adolf Hitler known to history in the first place.

A predestination paradox, also called either a causal loop, or a causality loop and (less frequently) either a closed loop or closed time loop, is a paradox of time travel that is often used as a convention in science fiction. It exists when a time traveller is caught in a loop of events that "predestines" him or her to travel back in time. Because of the possibility of influencing the past while time travelling, one way of explaining why history does not change is by saying that whatever has happened was meant to happen. A time traveller attempting to alter the past in this model, intentionally or not, would only be fulfilling his role in creating history as we know it, not changing it.

ya man. interesting. but den again. wad would u do if u saw urself in ur own room. i think i ll probably beat myself up or take the bible and start screaming GET OUT OF MY ROOM SATAN! or i would freak out and faint or hid under the blanket start praying or saying dont u come any nearer. lol. it still is a pretty freaky proposition.

adreneline is good. i think my 50 metre dash for the 851 made me feel better. haha. but den again if anyone could know or guess where i was heading. they would probably be wondering why i was stupid enough to chase a 851 when a 16 approaching from behind required no running of any sort.

and this chinese new year. things are gonna change. i really wonder wad to do with the card board jewellery box tho. its prolly 25 percent done so it doesnt look like anything as yet. but effort is such a waste to throw away. ah wells.

i m feeling sad today btw. in case u couldnt tell. helmut asked me why i looked so glum. i said i was tired. wonder if he actually bought it. as far as i know, he went queensway and would have bought shoes. nice to have someone hu appreciates advice from me tho. dont get many nowadays.
