the concept of beauty

am in the school's com lab now. silly me didnt know that my one and only lect today was cancelled, so i came to school only to an empty lt. did some studying cos i didnt want the trip to seem wasted, but my attention span on my digestive notes lasted for only 1.5 hrs. hehe.

someone told me that his idea of beauty is not of those flawless faces and perfect bodies you see when you flip through a magazine. i guess that's beauty too..conventional beauty. he perceives beauty in a person as someone who is different, someone whose face is able to portray a strong character, someone like..gong li, zhang ziyi or angelina jolie.

hmm fruit for thought. what is your concept of beauty?

cutesy japanese girls, with typical big eyes, long eye lashes, big smiles and porcelain skin? big boobs? long, ever lasting legs? exotic features? or perhaps you go for inner beauty instead..? everyone has their own perception of beauty, no one is right or wrong, it's just your own preference eh. we are all unique in our own ways. no matter how average looking you think you are, there'll always be someone out there who will see that glow in you that the rest dont. the only reason why it's so much easier for some is because their glows are obvious, and highlighted by the general consensus of the society we live in.

soo...by my theory, there should be no lonely souls in this world. haha. i'm such a freaking idealist!!

someone also told me that i have brains. after doing playing the vase role for so long, i almost forgot that yes! tay yiming does have brains! i'll be the first one to admit that i know nuts about current affairs, although nowadays i do make an effort to read the papers in the morning, but some days just passed with me being plain lazy or just picking up the LIFE section. i'm not the witty sort either, i dont have something clever to say in response all the time. neither can i discuss with you about what is happening in iraq today, or churn out a smarty pants argumentative essay on some government policy. sheesh i'm selling myself short arent i! ok but the point i'm trying to make is that, despite of all the shortcomings aforementioned, surprise surprise! i actually have brain cells! just that i have been given a long longggg break...

and it's about time i activate them!

cos i kind of miss using it...and how did i come to realise it? when i was working on a short powerpoint presentation for my astro module. it's a very simple project, but it was then when it suddenly dawned upon me it has been a while since i seriously worked on something. ok i know it sounds quite crappy.. i think life sciences has made me stupid because almost everything is about memorising, and i'm not interested to think harder for those questions that require application. i want to work on THE REAL STUFF, like projects and..i dont know...things that i'm interested in?

enough said. damn, i'm hungry now.
