Literature Revision
I was reading through Fall of the House of Usher...
Stuff describing Usher:
- "his ordinary manner had vanished"
- "unceasingly agitated mind"
- "an evidently restrained hysteria in his whole demeanour"
- "a sickly smile quivered about his lips"
No wonder some of my friends called me Usher. That's... disturbing...

Camera Equipment
I'm thinking in my head right now... Should I get more camera equipment?
Wants:
- AF 50mm f/1.8D
- AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
- AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
Thoughts:
- I have no money. At best by the end of the year, I can only afford the AF 50mm f/1.8D and cable release.
- I have my reservations regarding the AF 50mm f/1.8D. Nikon will be releasing a AF-S 50mm f/1.4G at the end of this year or early next year.
- AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED and AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED: Two REALLY expensive lenses. If I were to get them, I'd probably have to save up over NS or something.
Yippee! Bought the tripod and cable release. =D
Please...
What I wanted was a yesterday,
But all I had was a today,
What I really need is a tomorrow.
Please don't stop the tracks of time.
-Why doesn't anyone understand?-

I'm going insane over the promotional exams. And Geopolitics sounds fun. Maybe I should try for it.

Announcement!
Well, if you remembered the post on Fireworks!, you would remember me mentioning that I have a second reason for shooting the fireworks. The main aim for me going out to shoot fireworks was to actually seek locations in the city area to shoot the night scenes in Singapore.
Yes, I'm officially, or unofficially, announcing my plans - I want to embark on a journey of night photography. The night life (no not the kind along red-light districts) holds many secrets and thrills. This would be in line with the photography experience - photography is not about the photo, but rather HOW you get the photo you want.
I'm gonna start in the holidays (i.e. November and December), so until now, people who bother about me, wait patiently.

Questions
Well, so yesterday was Sonia's birthday, and yeah I did have fun. But that aside, Samuel asked me a very... thought-provoking question: "Have you ever considered yourself to be human?" I merely laughed.
Well, the truth is, this question has always been in my head. Or rather, a similar question: What makes a human human? Is it race? Religion? The 'human' body? The 'human' mind? The will to live? The ability to adapt? The ability to love? The ability to hate? The ability to think? The soul? The conscience? What actually makes up a human, scientifically speaking? Science cannot explain the soul and the conscience within each and every one of us. So from a scientific aspect, what defines us as humans? Are we really smarter than other animals in the animal kingdom? Are there really differences between animals and humans? Look at our inner beasts; the number of rapists, murderers, liars, thieves in the world, are not humans worse than beasts at times? The killing instinct, the survival of the fittest in the animal kingdom, are these not present in the human world as well?
Humans are probably the most despicable things ever seen on the face of the earth. This statement, in both the physical and spiritual aspects of life, stands true. Physically and scientifically, 'evil' would be the nuclear bomb, mercy killing etc. Spiritually speaking, it would be everything and anything that we do. The human heart is pure evil, undeniably. Every first intention of the heart and the mind would be entertaining evil.
Another question, what is life? What defines life? What is life from a scientific aspect? Is it the thought of tomorrow? The sense of pain? The sense of pleasure? The emotions you feel? The thoughts you entertain? What really is life? Truthfully, life is defined by death. Everything is born to die, be it human or beast. Death is the only reality, while life is just a figment of your imagination. What does it really mean to be alive? In all sincerity, to be alive means to accept your imminent death. Another question, what is truth? Everyone puts on different masks in front of their friends, families, and society. What is 'the truth'? What makes up 'truth'? It would be the lies that makes up the reality.
Okay, enough ranting.

Food for Thought
Some food for thought:
- "Everyone lies according to circumstances. Everyone shows different faces to their families, their friends, and society. But is that really a sin? What is a 'true' face?"
- "You have to push away what you truly treasure."
- "The further you are from the truth, the more protected you are."
- "If you want results, you have to do something. And that method would lead to denying something else."
- "Why do people lie? It's because they have a purpose."
- "Enforcing kindness onto people; it's no different from evil."
- "Good will and ill will are ultimately the two sides of the same card."
