rollercoaster/ the superstring theory

yesterday was a rollercoaster day. within that short span of 15 minutes, i felt so pathetically stupid and hopeless. but after that suffocating episode, i met people who were so nice they were like angels and it just felt like being in heaven on earth. and i'm serious, they were really so lovable i wanted to hug all of them.

my clumsiness and lousy heels led me to slip down some flight of stairs yesterday too. ouch. imagine you were hurrying down this long flight of stairs to somewhere. if a stranger next to you happened to have a bad fall, would you reach out to help her?

oh and i ate mcflurry for the first time in my life yesterday! that was how i discovered that no matter how horrible the day went, ice cream never fails to make me happy :)

by the way, a good-to-know (doesn't this phrase remind you of chem lecture notes?) fact: 9% of the adult population in Singapore is diabetic. you never know when this piece of information can come in handy ;)

anyway, i wanted to post a couple of photos i snapped of the exhibition at esplanade on saturday. the canvases were based on something called the superstring theory, which postulates that every matter in the universe is made up of and connected by symmetrical vibrations of tiny "strings". i found it amazing that each entire artpiece is composed of only one single line. this line does not intersect itself at any point and is continuous without any breaks at all. if you zoom into these photos you'll realize that there really is no start and end to the line drawn. even the canvas on which the drawing is made has to be continuous to adhere to these principles.





hrmm.. if this theory were to be true, that will mean that me and you, we're all connected by invisible strings! if somehow our thoughts and feelings can be wholly transmitted through these strings, maybe the world will become a more genuine place to be in..
