Another mystery of the English Language:

PRESBYTERIAN:
When you rearrange the letters: BEST IN PRAYER

ASTRONOMER:
When you rearrange the letters:MOON STARER

DESPERATION:

how interesting, don't you think? sure makes you wonder if "anagrammatic anagrams" is another anagram. =) actually, "anagrammatic anagrams" doen't make any more sense than bubbling bubbles, reactive reactions, or nutty nuts. in fact, something like nutty nuts make more sense than that since i have nuts surrounding me in class which don't taste nutty at all. in fact, they don't even come close to the peanut flavour.

And the irony of it all is that all these rambling makes me sound like a nut! and are you wondering about how nuts sound? i'm not a hollow nut, i assure you. my kernel's absolutely delectable.

well, i'm going all nutsy and almondy now! (you know it happens whenever i start inventing words such as almondy) i shall leave you wondering about nuts, the principle of relativity, and more assorted nuts. bye!

JULIAN BEEVER'S CHALK DRAWINGS

Julian Beever is an English artist who's famous for his art on the pavement of England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium. His chalk drawings hold an amazing 3D illusion.

A nice bottle of coke lying in the street.

It looks as if the concrete bends into a puddle, but actually you can't touch it.. the pavement is flat afterall.

People are actually trying to avoid walking into the hole!

Taken from the right angle. Note that in reality his foot would be flat on the pavement.

Same drawing from the wrong angle.

Politicians meeting their end. *EVIL SMILE*

An interesting sphere with a banner saying MAKE POVERTY HISTORY! you can see someone standing at the "Top of The World". (he's actually flat on the pavement.)

Same drawing from the side. Apparently it's 40 feet long. (how long is that in metres?)

Where did the pavement GO? aha. and now, for my favourite...

ANNOUNCEMENT

Jiaying's vivaldi craze has just passed on to the.. JOHN WILLIAMS craze!
HAHA! Not to worry, i still love vivaldi to bits.

AH i still can't believe i'm so dumb, i never realized John Williams composed the Harry Potter 1-3 soundtracks. O.o

Anyway i'm calling for:

1) ALL HARRY POTTER 1-3 soundtracks
2) ALL STAR WARS soundtracks
3) i'm not sure about this, but maybe memoirs of the geisha soundtrack too. i don't remember the music being really that significant (as compared to the above few) when i watched the movie. O.o

here's my seriously lacking and holey list of songs i have so far (don't send me these, i already have them)

1) Love theme (*****)
2) Battle of the Heroes (****)
3) Hedwig's Theme (*****)

1 and 3 are my absolute favourites at the moment! (vivaldi's 4 seasons are at the top too!) it's really a short list, but 1 & 3 are really, really, really good. TRUST ME. They're songs which you can't listen to when you do homework because you get so distracted by it you just want to sit there like a rock and listen forever. John Williams is a genius.

If you want to hear them (or experience sitting like a rock), just tell me and i'll send them to you. :)

THE WISHLIST (it's just the desperate list, all other tracks are equally welcome)
1) Imperial March
2) I can't believe i don't remember the name, but it's the ultra famous STAR WARS theme song.
3) Leaving Hogwarts

If you currently own any John William pieces, please send me!
All songs sent will be greatly appreciated (or perhaps worshipped)

JIAYING:

The Atom Assumption
I'm feeling rather sick thinking about the atom now. Whenever I think about all the discoveries and theories that have branched out from the existence of the atom- subshells, half-lives, Van der wall's forces, ionic and covalent bonds and many, many, more, i feel sick to the stomach.

All these were based on the simple assumption that the atom exists.

And what if the atom never did exist?

I could practically imagine my thoughts right after the downfall of Chemistry, wondering about how mankind has put in SO much effort to analyze the atom over and over again, only to find out that the atom never existed in the first place.

It would definitely not be the first time Man had a downfall because he assumed too much.

I'm pretty sure i'm going to wonder about the stupidity of man, making a mistake at the very first step. And a fatal one too. It reminds me of building sky scrapers on a foundation of rotting wood.

And i would probably wonder about the power of man. It wouldn't be easy to spin false theories and discoveries out of nothing and persuade others to believe it so that they can pass it on to other people,

and in the end, trick the whole world.

Well, I'll be watching when all the chemistry students glance at their chemistry textbooks with disdain and throw them into the dustbin.
