Have you ever thought about the universe?
Have you ever thought how big it was and how many galaxies and billions of stars there are up in the sky?
If you did, good. Stick with me. If you haven't, go face the ceiling and think about it :P
Let me tell you some facts about the universe. Don't ask why, you'll know why later.
Let's talk about light.
Light, it's such an amazing thing. IT is the fastest thing that travel (well, that's within human's limited knowledge) at a speed of approximately 186,282 miles per second (1 mile is 1.6 km) and that's roughly 670,000,000 miles per hour.
Our lovely airplanes travel at approximately 500 miles per hour. Now, that's like snails compared to well, jet planes (that's sad :P)
Now let's talk about the sun. That sexy flaming ball of hydrogen. Yes, it's hot.
It is 93,000,000 miles from our lovely Mother Earth. Ah, that's good. For if it comes any nearer we would end up on the barbecue grill. And I wouldn't want my ass to be as red as the baboons. :D
Let's say you have a crazy ambition (too crazy to be realistic), that is to travel to the sun by a jumbo jet, your journey would have taken like 21 years of your lifetime! Not to forget, it's non stop too!
Have any idea why I'm saying all this? No? Good. I want you to keep your curiosity. Stick close.
Now let's talk about stars. No, not your yummy honey stars you have at home!
Our nearest star from Earth is about 4.3 light years. (a light year is how long light can travel in a year) To reach this star so as to find out whether there are more tasty honey stars over there will take approximately 51,000,000,000 years by plane!
WHOA. I'd stick to my lovely cereal (:
Next, we'll jump onto the topic of galaxy.
Stick on and don't fall asleep because I'm helping you somehow for your General Paper (;
We live in a galaxy called Milky Way (I have no idea why they name it Milky Way but I guess scientists can't get enough of HL milk)
Okay, stop staring at that cow.
A galaxy is a vast gathering of usually billion of stars.
The closest galaxy to our galaxy is called Andromeda Galaxy and it's distance is approximately 2.31 million light years away! Now, ask yourself this: Have we reached the limit of our understanding yet?
The Guinness Book of World Records states that the most remote object ever seen by man appears to be over 13.2 billion (13,200,000,000) light years away! (I have no idea how they could see that)
Our finite minds cannot even begin to comprehend distances this immense. We've yet to glimpse the ends of the galaxy clusters let alone the end of the universe!
And now prepare for the whole point of this factual crap you have been spending your precious 5 minutes or so reading.
Be mentally prepared. Really prepared.
Can you guess it?
Okay, I will save you from the despair:
My Bible declares that God can measure the universe with the span of His hand! (Isaiah 40:12)
OMG, I'm fainting.
And that's not all.
My Bible says that God counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name! (Psalms 147:4-5) Now that's what I call sick, (:
Anyway, I think that my household is not sane.
First off to start with, I have a NOT sane maid who always chuckle to herself whenever I draw close (yeah, I know, I know, my presence brings joy. HAHA :P) and she likes to talk to herself.
Next up is my overconcerned super sensitive grandmother. She's really sensitive.
Grandma "Have you eaten your lunch yet?"
Leon "Nope."
Grandma "You hungry?"
Leon "No."
Grandma "You want the maid to cook something? Or buy lunch outside? You sure you not hungry?"
Leon "NO, NO, NO!"
Grandma "YOU FIND ME VERY IRRITATING IS IT, HUH? *goes on babbling about me being an anti-social lah, being unfilial lah, no one loves her lah, no one calls her to eat lunch (which I find that when she calls me to eat lunch and I'm like sooooo busy and her consistent calls is like DAMN ANNOYING!)*
Crazy bit... Nevermind, ^^
Next on the list is my dad!
He's too crazy about how his kids spend money.
There was this day where we didn't have the car so he couldn't fetch me to school.
So he gave me like ten bucks.
Daddy "Use this money to take bus or taxi"
Leon "Okay, ^^"
So I took a taxi with the money (well I didn't feel like taking bus and I would be late if I take bus anyway).
And when I came home...
Daddy "I heard you took taxi to school"
Leon "Ya, I did."
Daddy "Why you never (bad english here!) take bus? You think money very easy earn is it? You all haven't grown up yet like to anyhow spend money. We work all day for this money okay?"
OMG. I wanna box his face. But nevermind, God says forgive all people :D
Last but not least, my sister Ellice.
One crazy woman. She likes to come into my room and irritate the hell out of me (jokingly). It's like a daily routine, something she can't live without (or is it SOMEONE she can't live without :D) but since she's nice enough to give me free tidbits, I still love her. ^^
My mum's sane (; Just that she talks on the phone too freaking much. Burst the bills man!
Whew.
Enough of my household. Let's talk about my ambition.
I had a new realization (is there such a word?) today. My career and future (;
I've made up my mind that I'm going to further my studies in.. whatever course you need to have as a DJ!
No, not those radio DJs but those clubbing DJs!
It's good.
Here are the benefits of a DJ:
- I guess you get good treatment in pubs/clubs (;
- Dance music is cool :P
- You get some publicity/fame
- You get chicks
- You get good money
- You look cool!
HAHA. And when my DJ career is stabilised, I will invest in a LAN shop business but I will not dwell into it in case some guy happen to chance upon my blog and steal my business ideas away HEHEHE. (:
And when I'm old enough to retire, I'm gonna spend some of the my fortune setting up my an entertainment theater in my house, projector screen, surround speakers, cosy sofa, uber computers, crazy light effects and stuff :D
Meanwhile, what I can do now is:
- Study my ass off for the course
- Self learn how to fix computer and networking (almost done)
- Self learn interior designing (;
Till then,
Leon Hydroxide! :D
