Equivalent Exchange

"If one wishes to gain something, one must present something of equal value"

Let me take some examples :

If you want to buy something, you have to exchange it with money, which is equal to the price of the item.

If you want to score good results, first you have to strive & study hard for it.

If you want to do anything, you will have to sacrifice a portion of your time in doing it.

If you want to generate energy, you will need a resource or another energy to be converted.

"There must be sacrifices & gains in everything, and this is the concept of 'equivalent exchange' which is also the theory of life"

However, if we look at it from a different perspective, it will be a bit contrasting and confusing.

Although it is an undeniable fact that to obtain something, one must first sacrifice or exchange something which is worth the price. However, is this always true that after you sacrificed, you are guaranteed to obtain what you want? There are also some people out there, who are granted what they want since their birth. Do you think this is fair?

To tell you the truth, it is. For what you sacrificed, you obtained something, although most of the time its not what you want. Instead, you gained something better, which will prove to be more useful in your future, which is experience. In the latter case, one will eventually loses everything if he/she continues to take things for granted. This can be interpreted from the fundamental rule, where after you obtained something, you will lose something, its just that the order is reversed.

Tony actually learned something useful from watching anime

Love At First Sight

I remember a friend of mine asked me whether I believe in love at first sight & I told her that love at first sight only shows that one person is attracted by the person's physical appearance.

Is my definition correct? I said so because you never meet that person & you saying that you fell in love with him/her just by looking at his/her face without knowing his/her personality, behavior, habits or likes & dislikes? So, the only thing I can think of is only the physical appearance fascinated you when you say that you fell in love at first sight.

Here's the definition by wikipedia :

Love at first sight is an emotional condition whereby a person feels romantic attraction for a stranger on the first encounter with the stranger. The term may be used to refer to a mere sexual attraction or crush, but it usually refers to actually falling in love with someone literally the very first time one sees him or her, along with the deep desire to have an intimate relationship with that person. The stranger may or may not be aware that the other person has any such notion, and may not even be aware of the other person's presence (such as in a crowded place). Sometimes two people experience this phenomenon towards each other at the same time, usually when their eyes meet.

That may be the case, but what if you fell in love at first sight, and after you know him/her deeper, you found out that he/she is really the right person for you? (looks like I'm contradicting my own view on this)

Here's another interesting opinion about this matter, have a look at this:

So, what say you? Do you agree with what I said or you believe in love at first sight?
Any opinion or comment from you is most welcomed. (should I use is or are?)
**except from the person who asked me the question in the first place. I've heard yours & I
know you believe it.

Tony fell in love at first sight? nah...

原来爱上贼 - Catch Me Now

All of a sudden, I found something interesting in this series which I'm watching currently. So, I will do some promotion for TVB here.

I really have to commend the scriptwriter, this part is really funny + remarkable.

**for those who can't understand cantonese or can't read chinese, sorry..

p/s : sorry Ms. Chan, maybe this is a bit out of topic, but once in a while, its still acceptable right?


Tony really enjoys TVB drama series.

The One Who Slacks

Finally, its the long awaited weekend - a-one-day-prolonged weekend. Should I actually be happy about it? Should I feel excited? Or should I at least feel relaxed? Nope, none of those came into my mind since there are piles of homework especially from Calculus & Physics (THANKS Mr Lee & Ms Say!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!)

Despite the fact that there are so so many homework yet to be done, I am still my old self, who will put enjoyment to the top priority. Homework? Nah, they will be done when its time. Nothing to worry about it. Another inconvenient truth to be revealed here is that I was awake just a while ago (approximately 5.00 p.m) after a short "hibernation" from around 1.00 a.m the same day. Finally I recovered all the sleep deficit accumulated from all week long. What a great sensation to have.

Tony hopes he can "hibernate" always

Crabs or Craps

Do you like crabs? Well, I bet there are lots of you out there who enjoys eating crab meat especially from its pincers - the most muscled part of the crab. Also, there might be some of you who prefer the taste but due to the troublesomeness to crack open its carapace, hence feeling unwanted to have some even when its served in front of you. There might be a small group of people who has allergies towards it. Another reason I ever heard is that he/she doesn't eat crab because his/her horoscope is Cancer. Funny though.

Craps, on the other hand, is not so welcomed by everyone, as it is a rude word to replace nonsense, worthless, shit or whatever you can think of, giving the similar meaning. However, craps is also a popular dice game in the US.

"It is played with two dice. In craps the thrower makes a money bet that is covered by one or more opponents. If the first throw totals 7 or 11, the player wins, but if 2, 3, or 12 is thrown, the player loses. In any of these cases betting and throwing are repeated. If the throw totals 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the player's point, and throwing is continued until the same point is made again or a 7 is thrown. If the point is made, the player wins, but if a 7 is thrown, the player loses both the bet and the right to throw again."

The game is such a gibberish to me, and hereafter, I made my own conclusion, that the word crap, originates from this game, which gives equal meaning.

Tony is ending his crap talks.

Laughter, Still The Best Medicine

After an hour of tired, long lecture, X suggests : its siesta time!!


Quotes

It's snowing Edward
By my window
Take a net and fish one in
I'm such a lucky guy, such a lucky guy
Even though I got no money
This bear won't be hibernating
Or I'd miss the sight
of all the honey strolling by
It's snowing Edward
Hope I'll catch me one

Basidiomycote Inside A Bus - exclusive in http://a-journey-to-nowhere.blogspot.com/

Bandar Utama - A basidiomycote, commonly known as mushroom, was found growing inside a bus by a student, named Maxx, currently studying AUSMAT programme in KBU International College. According to Maxx, this was the 1st time he encountered such humorous happening and so, he decided to post it up. The mushroom was recorded to be 9.0 cm in length, 6.0 cm in width and 4.0 cm in height. A study had been initiated following this event, to investigate how does this species able to grow from a spore and hence survive in such condition and environment, which consist of only metal and rubber. Another passenger, preferable known as Mr. X, said the position where the mushroom was found, had frequent water leakage from the air conditioning system. That may be the reason for the mushroom to be able to bloom on inorganic materials. This was worth-studying in order to determine whether other species of basidiomycote can grow on other inorganic material such as plastic, with only water is provided.

Tony is still the same. Why can't I change?
