Wandering with the Wind...

Oh my that was another huge gap between my posts, wasn't it?

Well yea I have been kept busy this whole week. The guitar juniors had to go and help out at our seniors' SYF rehearsal on Monday, so I ended up reaching home at 8.30pm, that's 15 min later than my latest record. And Tuesday I had guitar, wed was that whole moelc ceremony thing to meet the jap buddies, and today...well, today was interesting. XD

Apparently I met my buddy yesterday during the ceremony and started hosting her from 7 o'clock today morn. We met at the bus stop pretty early; Akiho and Nana came like way before 7, at around 6.38am if I'm not wrong, and Wan Li and I over-estimated the time we needed on 190 so we reached early too. Jia Le was late btw. We waited for her for almost half an hour, or twenty minutes, to be more exact. Haiz.

My bud's name's Sawada Nana. She's a pretty interesting girl - Az feels that she acts cute, well she does, but to me it's perfectly fine since a bright buddy is much better than one of those very shy and "dao" ones in some not-so-fortunate classes. A bright girl for a bright class like 207. I find it really fitting; Minyi-tachi got themselves very very entertained by helping me entertain Nana, and seriously, I have to confess...

It's my first time trying some kids' hand games other than Concentration.

Funny, eh? Nana taught us a new game that I suppose she plays a lot in Japan. Minyi knows about it though - so maybe it's pretty widespread after all. I'm just an airhead when it comes to these things (or as Minyi called Amelia, vacuum-head).

And most importantly, Nana can speak almost perfect english. It's even got this British accent (I guess it's a side-effect from attending International School for some years)! She has absolutely no problem with the heavy Japanese-accented pronounciations that's supposed to trouble her tongue! Wow, ain't it?

Overall comments?

Nice.

First of all a buddy of an ideal personality gave the whole thing a better start, and then there's Minyi's help and 207's hyperactiveness, and also Ms Wong's lil sparks of humour in her geog class. Too bad some other teachers didn't manage to impress as much. Nana remarked that Chem was boring. I so totally agree with her.

So totally agree. Poor Nana!

And us...!

Okies I think that's about all I have to say for the Jap Immersion thing for now, since it hasn't even ended. I may elaborate further tomorrow after the prog's done. XD

Kay. So I think before I go to sleep...I'll just state a few things I've been pondering over the past few days. They've been staying in my head and sometimes the answer just seems so close, but yet they just slip away damn fast too. I don't know how to put it, really.

Well here they are. Firstly, Julia from guitar told me about this group of scientists who managed to teleport a very small object about 10 metres from its original position, with the use of mechanics - so keep away from parapsychology for now. And then there's chem lesson for the past few days, I didn't understand a lot of it, but at least some parts (the visual parts with all the atom and molecule models), are quite comprehensible, if there is such a word.

Apparently, there's such a thing called electrostatic force or something which holds the electrons in their shells; and also there's this process called metallic bonding whereby the attraction between positive ions and negative electrons (sea of electrons) holds the whole molecule - and material - together. So if we find a way to negate this energy interaction, to cancel out its effects, or, putting it simply, cutting out the connections, we can break the material of which that molecule is comprised. Literally, breaking it.

So probably those group of scientists managed to use this method to sort of dismantle the molecules and atoms, and then send them through the space to a location 10 metres away, and reassemble them again. The dismantling and reassembling part doesn't seem to hold much of a problem to current human technological advancement; but the main prob's how they sent the atoms through the space. They said used machines, but how?

Is it by reflection, or energy waves, or electromagnetic fields like how the telekinetic psychics do it etc?

For telekinesis, it is a psychic skill (actually not really psychic, everyone can do that at times) which makes use of the electromagnetic fields of the psychic, and visual areas of the brain, to send electromagnetic waves towards the target to either repel or attract it. So in truth it isn't so "magical" in a sense as people mistake it to be. The whole thing's not as simple as staring at the target and making it move in designated directions that your mind sets. It's about manipulating what's between us - the energy, the forcefields, to move the target without making any physical response. Just like underground work, hidden, unseen, but potent all the same.

One simple example is the force push; when u put ur hands in-front of something very light, like tissue paper, and then pump a lot of energy into ur hands without touching the tissue, you will notice it moves a little bit in a jerky action. That's because of the force your exerts doesn't just end at your fingertips. It crosses the space between you and your target.

And everybody does that btw, force push is one of the most widespread telekinetic traces in the world. Everyone does it though we may not have noticed.

So in truth what makes the psychics so special, is only that they have found a way to amplify the efficiency and effects of the methods and applied them on adequate targets; and on more extreme cases, they have managed to open up to a little more of their minds than what we're using now. That's all.

Simple as that. Nothing horrifying.

And this teleportation thing brings me to another question I've been pondering. Again, psychics. This time it is about "Mind over Matter", the famous bending spoon activity. Apparently in some newspaper a couple of years ago was shown the reports of some young Chinese psychics, who bent a spoon, and she commented that it was easy once you concentrate deep enough. The main problem here is, what do they concentrate on? Surely they don't just try to melt the metal with their "concentrated" stare.

What I think is that through intense visualizing, which they may have taken in under "concentration", and certain ways of channeling of their psi and ki (such as Reiki exercises), they manage to affect the internal mechanisms of the spoon. So far all the spoons that have been (or known to be) bent were metal; so it links me back to metallic bonding. Why are metals easier to work with?

One possible theory for the bending spoons thing is that instead of totally negating the electrostatic attraction in the atoms, which results in breaking the object, they weaken the connections so as to manipulate the object easier than what it would've taken originally. Another is that maybe they subdued certain atoms with certain properties in the molecules, and brought out in contrast the one with the property they needed to achieve the desired outcomes. Metals can be ductile, remember? So maybe in the process of bending the spoon, they actually made the molecules of the object having "flexibility" as their main property, and diminished all the other unwanted properties.

Come to think of it, being psychic really may not mean being stronger than normal. Perhaps it is just being faster than others in finding a way to weaken your targets in comparison, that you appear stronger instead.

Okay I think I've babbled enough. Anyway these are just my thoughts - they are not backed up with any evidence, no reports, no info, no nothin', so just ignore all these if you're the sort of deep-rooted person not interested in air talk. Just my theories, my ideas. My Math tuition teacher encourages us to do this - recording our thoughts just in case someday...you know, something goes wrong, and really wrong...

Nah, I'm not planning that far yet.

Actually I believe it's pretty near.

Okay I have a feeling you don't know what I'm talking about. Gud night then, I gtg, tomorrow there's 3 hours of art! Whoopeee! At least Nana won't have to sit through boring classes that drone on and on. Cya.
