factopinion (facto-pi-nion)

this is my latest invention that i believe is the invention of the year.

it requrires you to reflect on what you have thought throughout the day, and analyses if they are valid or not.

for instance. "i should have study more" are you sure"not really, there are many other factors that are not considered" so you realise the statement is invalid.

the tools use in doing this exercise is, complexity, investigating causes and effects, acknowledging the situation, sufficient evidence, hasty conclusion, comment, leaving the issue open ended, leaving space for further exploration, i do not fully comprehend the issue, this thing should be done this way based on reasoning, but why is it that in the case, i cannot emulate the theory, what are the missing points, etc......

self conversation

do you know the significance of this coming exam?
ans: no

why?
ans: there are many hidden knowledge and effects that i don't know, so there is no way i can make any conlusion. meaning that if i get all distinction. it may mean a few things like why i am able to get distinction. but it does not represent the whole picture, like what i have miss out to learn and hidden issues. our brain often see things in a very narrow minded way.

so what is your plans with regards to studying? are you not going to set any goals?
ans: no goals unless i am very sure of the situation. the study issue is a very fuzzy picture now. i will follow nature path. " let the river decide where it wants to flow, and when i have my own gut feeling, i will steer my boat, when i have not gut feeling, i will allow the river to take charge again while i continue to collect infomation"

thoguhts on exam and nus in general.

do i really know what is the objective of my study in nus? what class? what modules?
i really don't know .

remember there is only one roght choice . and millions of wrong situation.

the conclusion is therefore i should not worry if i get poor, happy if i get good, worry if i choose a difficult topic. because you don't even know what is the right situation?

for exam, you do not know what is the ideal grades. a high grade might involve cost in other area, a failing grade may cost another semster but it may bring some hiiden benefit that you are not aware of. the point is, you do not know the situation at all hence do not make conclusion like. "i must pass next semster!!" or " its okay to fail since i fail before". No conclusion is allowed if you don't know anything.

so how? well as i have alwasy say " go with the flow"...

thoguht

to check if a person is flaw, you just need one bad example from him.....

to check if a person is perfect, you need to carry out millions of test .....

euraka!!

just found an answer to a old age question?

what is the purpose of life?

to learn.

simple isn't it?
yes. when i cry. ilearn about it.
when i fail my exam. there is something to learn.
knowing when there is nothing to learn and just move on. this is also something to learn.
lost an arm. and feeling sad.. well, go learn it.
going crazy about the adversities that pile up all at once. well the going crazy part is an experience, something to learn.

as i have mention. learn is the root word for life. from it are the branches of knowledge that will go on forever. but as long as you know the root word is sufficiently, it will guide you to the rest of the thing.

so remember kok ming. when you wake up everyday. tell yourself this thing.

the purpose of my life is to learn, that is all!!!!!!!

thoughts for the day

should be studying now because my marks are drowning...

no girlfriend for 23 years... but i have came to realize it is a small issue.
assuming that i have settled the studies problem, my mum problem, erh the holiday problem, the interview problem, the saving problem, the playing problem, what does all these mean?

i have calculated everything from death, accidents, activities. all that is left is the minor details which inbetween which are to be experienced and chosen. so basically there is nothing much to do except ,,,,wait... there is something to do.... as long as i am awake, there is something to do..... right now, iam typing, later i will be studying, then i will be thinking, every moment i will be doing something or making decisions, so life will go on. until i die by illness, age or accident i am not sure.

so .... hmm.... life goes on is an interesting phrase..... ok so ishall look for my ee2005 lecture notes to read...... may the force be with you, in fact with me is better.....

let me just ramble some more..... the greatest joke of all time is god.... to believe in god is wrong but i have to understand that people believe in it because of some factors, but the point is they are make a wrong choice. i will not elaborate.. religious issue are very very sensitive that is why very few people dare to stand out to tlak about the faults of other religions.... even me the wise man dare not speak out my disbelief of god... god know why?

sex is a must activity for human being... i will look for sex... but how???

these is a age -- the 21 century where falsehood and ignorance of truths still exists in large amount..... i conjecture that 90% of human population is still stupid.... but it is better than in the twentifth and ninthteen century and past... that time it must have been 99%.

as truth always find its own way, like a ping pong ball will always find its way to surface , human will definietly understand the truth about things and their own vulnearablity of themselves, and ofcourse when 50% of people reach these truths, the world will change again to the new situations where people are all very wise.... equality, survival of self and efficiency and entertainment are the basis of living.... the world will be totally different from these period.... but i shall see how the world evolve if i get to live to 2080..... very interesting to imagine i will get to live to 2080 and see the currently stupid world....

hmmm....... may i find a right girl to have sex with soon....... back to my ee2005...

4 days to exam

There are three types of problems bothering my mine. Of course to simplify as three is naïve thought because problems manifest in many degrees and forms.

But the classification is a picture for me.

The first problem is my mother illness. Her condition is at the last stage. The main problem for her is that she has to endure the mental and physical pain of receiving the injections, surgery, doctors, nurses, the strange medical equipment, the doctors analysis, the x rays, the reports, all the things that can trigger her mental and physical problems nd emotional, how others look at her, how she may be worrying about other things. The possibilities goes on. It is a complex situation for her.

As for me, as a son, I still am worried about her, how is she feeling, worried , sad and pure scared of all the things. I should allow myself to worry over her, to feel guilty, to be anxious, I should surrender to all emotions and accept my weakness. I will suffer if it has to come.

The second problem is my studies. Currently, I am not afraid of failing or getting very bad grades. I predict I will not answer more than half the paper judging at my rate. But since I am not afraid, there is nothing to talk about. But the problem lies in the fact that what I think may not be true. Afterall, I may cry when I see the paper and have totally no solutions on soling the problems. Guilt, anger, worry and other feelings may seep into me after all. Again, I am not totally sure what will happen.

The third problem that pops out to me yesterday has not occurred but it dawned to me that it is the greatest problem. I know that this problem is unavoidable if it were really to come. There can be two causes of this problem. It is a physically based but will trigger the emotional and mental part.

The day when I got cancer plus aids and liver damage and kidney damage and rheumatism and gods-know-what disease and I have to undergo many treatment, each involving many pains and discomforts of side effects. Or it is caused by an accident like being hit by and car, being pulled along the road by car, being poured by acid, being burned on the whole body and face, third degree burn some more. All these physical pains, feelings and discomforts is a big problems.

Morever, mental and emotional sufferings like the fear of treatment, the fear of the pain, anxious of how my face is disfigured, the intense trauma and hysteria tha comes along with the physical problem can easily make most people mad, or suffer mental problem permanently.

There may be no perfect solution, but the best I can think of now is to learn abput pain, practice a few pains scenarios, learn about this accidents or diseases, such that assuming if I really strike these things I am able to minimize the physical, emotional and mental effect it has on me , assuming the worst case scenarios where the situation stays with me forever, bothe the physical disfigurement, the pain, discomforts. So the best case is to overcome the emotional and mental problems because these is more possible to solve, though no guarantee because all these accidents and diseases may cause you to be more emotional and mentally problematic because the disrupt your brain functions your emotional function, your normal operations of your body which makes you a calm, stable person. In short, these illness and accidents may definitely create emotional and mental instability no matter who you are before the thing.

Thus, I have bring out three problems. But I am sure there are infinite ones hiding and waiting to pounce on me. Just suffer it is the most cheating advice I can give to myself at the moment. Meaning that I am prepared to suffer in all aspects, physical , mental and emotional.

advicesa for myself

"no matter how many times i cry, fear, panic or feel vexed, as long as i recover, i will continue learning as an individual so that i will be a wiser person"

i no longer have the imagination to prepare for situation. so i can only go with the flow. do housework, and study. everything should turn out fine, i shall live to ee the rainbow .

acceptance is the first step. recovery is second step. continue moving is third step. i shall call this the three step stance of life. lets got through them with real life examples.

first. panic attack during the doing of the exam paper when you only know how to one out of ten question. after going out of the exam hall, you should feel tired after the high emotion period for past few hours.

first- accept that you have panic and you have did badly.
second- wait for your body to recover to neutral state, phsyically or emotional(can be long or short)
third- study your next paper

feeling aimless during the first day of holiday
first- nil
second - nil
third - just keep doing something

6 days from exam

the education system of singapore sucka big time.

their purpose is this, plug us into the economy so that we will be specialised.

develop us into entrepreneuel so that we can create jobs for the economy.

their purpose of education is for the economy, not for individual. i understand that all govt will act in this way.
only did i realise this after living for 22 years.

talking to myself

this is writing for myself to read one.....

i am feeling clam, i will watch ah ya on channel 54 later.
then i sleep, then wake up and visit mother tomorrow.

my adversity now is to have no feeling at all during today to the day before the exam, and how i will not freak out over the fact that i have no feelings during this period, which is a strange occurrence. so if i have no feeling throughout, then i am not bothered about the fact that i have no feeling, then everything just happen, good or bad or normal, then normal shall it be.....

so i found out that my adversity now is that i may be feeling troubled about the numbness of my emotion during this exam coming period.

but it is still quite clear to see myself living a better life that david beckham, anthony robbin, and lee kwan yew. i cannot predic tthe short term and i cannot see what can shake me very violently, but i can see that i can recover in most cases and as long as i learn all the time, i shall be the conqueror of hell, earth and heaven.

kok ming=hell+heaven+earth

exam are here

one week from exam , i have not touch much of my school work. as i have convinced myself that i will take all situations normally, i did not panic like past semsters.

go with the flow and carry on with life whatever happens. but while going with the flow, must also predict, and learn but must not desire or yearn for anything, be objective as possible, but if emotion comes, and tears well up, do let your feeling flow. but gradually regain your own control so that you are stable and normal but the important thing is to change gradually.

i hope i can flow normally during this few weeks. i have many advices for many situations , so much that sometimes i am overwhelmed by them. then there are many general overlapping advices. i am feeling normal mostly, with few situations i feel emotional but so far i am quite conscious and allowing it to express itself and allow it to die down naturally, no forcing theory down my throat, mind actually.

the exam is the observation period. on myself on how i will react at all circumstances, and how i react upon my reactions. then the holiday is also interesting.

i feel as i am just beneath the sky. i have mastered some important things. i can transcend betwenn heaven and hell and earth. i am both god and human. i still do cry, do stutter and fear although i know if i learn , they should gradually be nullified and is totally controlled by me. i can remove them the moment they come, or anytime i want. this the the power i crave.
