think this

heya bloggie~



i think im beginning to like philosophy.. really. im not being sarcastic here.

the teacher just gets me into the philosophiliii mood. her golden hair, her grandmotherly face, her wrinkled smile and o-so-ladeylike gestures.. makes me feel like its more of a storytelling class then boring philosophy. i know i seem stalker-like observing her like tat. but i just love sweet looking old people. ;p



well wat i realy wanted to share here was the questions she raised in class. really gets u thinking.



ok this might be a bit boring. but i wanna rite it down anyway hihi~



neway she was storytelling away about Plato, a great greek philosopher who first started questioning our reality. (i think if we dint have tv sets and the internet.. we'd be thinking about every little abnormality in our lives as well.. just to pass the time~)

well he asked.. "what is the really real?" (according to russianglish) or in normal speaking language.. "what is the true real?"



Plato concluded tat we cant trust our senses coz all tat is an illusion. He thought up that the idea we first have is our true reality. And that the product of our idea is only a copy of our reality.



confusing ryte????



lemme put it this way. if u were a carpenter.. n u felt like making a table one day, u'd have to think up wat kinda shape, size or colour u'd want it to be. Therefore an IDEA (the true reality) pops up. This idea we make into a product. TADA ---- a table(the copy of this reality).



Now.. i bring in this painter.. n this painter wants to paint tat table.

Therefore...........

he is actually making a COPY of a COPY!!



I KNOW~~~~~

wat is this crap.

but still if they dint think this up.. we might have never moved up in civilization. philosophy contributes to modernization in its own ways i guess.

*sigh* im self-consoling.

well till my next post

tata~

Deepa-Raya Dance!

bloggie~ LONG TIME since my last post..

been sooo lazy. FULLSTOP.

lol. no excuse there.. will try harder to update on my boring life ;p

well next week i will be performing a sabahan cultural dance thingy for deepa-raya nite..

its actually rili kewl. we get to do magunatip dance.. which is in fact my dance. i say tat coz im murut.. hehe. Its a gud thing i brought wit me my murut traditional dress which i can use for tat nite (refer to an earlier post to which stars my dad making me bring tat dress)

rili tot i wudnt act wear it.. since its gonna be about 2-4degrees out later. i'd freeze my buttocks in it. its SLEEVELESS. ehe-he-he. yea.

omg.. im seeing purking lips rite now (i know u guys dunt know wat i mean.. but he insisted i add a sentence about him in my blog.. here u go darl. ur sentence ;D)

other than dat, student mass has been upgraded to 2 times a month now! wuhuu~ i really like attending these masses coz i actually understand them. (russian mass is very russian u see) and besides, the songs we sing reminds me so much of home. Last student mass was especially memorable for me.. im now the new commentator for mass because the usual one is graduating soon. And i also became psalmist with another girl last week, we were told to kinda sing a duet wit the psalms.. like in different tones or sumthing.. but i have a feeling.. agak hancur jg la.. but people were too nice to tell us. lol. then i also had to sing in the choir and play the tamborine.

talk about MULTI-TASKING. rasa macam org kuat church pla.. but its more like we lack man power. huha.

itsokay~ i enjoyed it. I act had to major tests the next day. Physiology n Psychology papers. But mayb it was coz God saw me singing my little throaty-toad-like lungs out for him (i still havent fully gotten my voice back from Acute Bronchitis the past few weeks.. hehe forgot to update tat) He decided to help me cancel my basketball practice n lecture the next day. Aint tat sweet of Him ^_^. so i managed to cram in 2 majors tat day.

oya! n Happy Deepavali friends ^_^... Love it! manage to escape a class today because of it. i suddenly became indian n needed to take the day off to go out for prayers. ngeh3... can feel my horns ody.

sit. i havent studied for philosophy.

oya, the other day in philo lec i went in a carefree life loving child.. and came out confused about my existence. the philo lecturer was teaching us about existence. she said..
"Students, we know tat we know we exist... but do animals know that they know?"
then she paused... letting us digest the question.
i kinda still understood her here... coz i've always wondered if animals question their existence as we humans do.
but then...
"but students, even if we know that we know... what is to know??"
then i was just.. lost.

it got a bit too philosophical for me then... owh well, i guess people in the old'n days just had to much time on their hands n dint know wat to do with it.. so they decided to start philosophy.

there are so many more weird2 things in philo. but i'll humor u sum other time. Now i really need to start on my philo readings about Anaxagoras. nows theres a familiar name ryte? ryte? Not.

till my next post.
