Big Bang

Big Bang
 Big Bang Group??
  Big Bang Korean?
   Big Bang Theory?
    Big Bang Story?
     What.. Big Bang? What is it? What's the story? Who came up with this?
      What did they try to prove? 
       Where did they get the source from?

B A N G

on National Geography explains about Big Bang

Universe is so huge and enormous - definitely more than we can imagine it to be.

And here we are - human beings living with many different forms of objects and creatures on the Earth.

Where...

How do we exist? 

When was the FIRST stage of this earth?

no .... before that... When did the UNIVERSE create all the solar system in space?

I wonder... and so does Everyone and so did People in the past.

They've come up with many theories other than Big Bang but no one, so far, can explain the origin of this.

 "It should have started from somewhere but we never know and we've not found one yet." 

This is the answer and has been one so far...

Why is it? 

Is it really beyond our thoughts? our imagination? our scientific proof?

and...

Why Am I (all of sudden) getting this curiosity and blogging about it?

I've been wondering and ignoring at the same time whenever I come across this thought.

But not today... I wanna research and know more about this planet and space... The place where I am now... the place I am standing on and living...

Similar Video as the above but no dialogue.

Have a look at this video and think...

Does this make sense to you...?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang

The easiest is... to Google and Wikipedia.

Let me abstract a few of description from it.

/ 'Big Bang' theory explains the early development of the Universe. The Universe was once in an extremely HOT and DENSE state which expanded rapidly. This rapid expansion caused the Universe to cool and resulted in its present continuously expanding state. /

- Halt. 'Hot and Dense' - how can we justify this...? Hot? what about COLD? what if the Universe was very cold... would this first question change the whole theory...?

 / the Big Bang occurred app. 13.75 billion years ago = the age of of the Universe. After its expansion, the Universe cooled sufficiently to allow energy to be converted into various subatomic particles - protons, neutron and electrons. /

- The Universe cooled down to convert its energy into various subatomic particles??? It was extremely hot... and It Cooled Down? why? Why didn't it get hotter and hotter...???

 / The Big Bang is a well-tested Scientific Theory which is widely accepted within the scientific community because it is the most accurate and comprehensive explanation for the full range of phenomena astronomers observe./ 

- I don't comprehend some of the explanation...(okay, I ain't trying to sarcastic and critical here. but I've become very curious thus raise questions... hm...)

/ Georges Lernaitre first proposed what would become the Big Bang theory.... over time, scientist would build on his initial ideas to from the modern synthesis.... If the distance between galaxy clusters is increasing today, everything must have been close together in the past.... /

- The Big Bang theory rather explains the general evolution of the universe. But evolution... How can we so sure about its origin...??

Okay...

I wanna stop here today. - need to research more on this. It's interesting to know but the more I find out about this - the more questions I raise. Hm.... will head to TIMES soon. wanna read. 

Deep inside ... I know it's something that I can't ignore but I am trying to acknowledge it here.

My knowledge is still shallow and limited...

Will come back to this soon.

Tada 

Cheers

Break Time

As usual, I went to Bangsa Shopping Centre to perform and it was a surprise!
My baby grand piano was decorated with candles. It was really romantic!

Tada! my Baby Grand Piano is decorated!

It happens quite seldom that I was informed yesterday that I need to stop performing since there would be a meeting next door - OK! I just finished first song - 'fly me to the moon' then was asked to stop for a while... (alright then, let's go somewhere I can entertain myself! TO THE TIMES!)

Tada!!! One small kitten doll (MOMO), bookmark and 'Time   of my life' which was 30% D.C :D

I had about 10- 15 mins till the meeting ends and at least I made a good choice to purchase something to kill time. :p (after that, the rest of sets went quite smoothly)

oh, btw, the book I bought is quite interesting. by Cecelia Ahern

 - no. 1 best book seller for P.S I love You. 

Synopsis

Lose yourself in the magical world of No.1 bestselling author, Cecelia Ahern. Are you taking your life for granted? Lucy Silchester is. She,s busied herself with other stuff: friends, lives, work issues, her deteriorating car, that kind of thing. But she,s stuck in a rut - and deluding everyone. Only Lucy knows the real truth. Time for a wake-up call - a meeting with life. And life turns out to be a kindly, rather run-down man in an old suit, who is determined to bring about change - and won,t let Lucy off the hook. Sometimes we all need to make time for our life...

'Dear Lucy Silchester, You have an appointment for Monday 27th July 2011. Yours sincerely Life.

Lucy Silchester has received an appointment card. Actually, she's been invited along a few times to this appointment, but she keeps brushing the gold embossed envelope under the shag pile carpet. She's taken her eye off the ball and has busied herself with work (a job she doesn't love), helping out friends, fixing her car, feeding her cat, seeing her family and devoting her time to their life dramas. But Lucy is about to find out that this is one appointment that she can't miss. And she can't escape it either. Her Life is about to catch up with her in the most surreal of ways.'

I may write a short review of the book later.

TEDxKualaLumpur

T - Technology
E - Entertainment
D - Design

It's a global set of conference owned by non-profit 'Sapling Foundation' catered for 'Ideas worth Spreading'.

The first time I've heard about this was from my 1st semester in University where studying about Introduction to Media was a total blur-ness to me and this conference talk has helped me to understand better since then.

 From celebrities to public figures, whoever has their own ideas to share would come up for this conference and LITERALLY share and learn from each other.

 Its mission statement is as below -

 'We believe passionately in the power of ideas of change attitudes, lives and ultimately the world. So we're building here a clearing house that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other.'

 It's interesting and knowledgeable to watch the video clips on Youtube and how these people actually come to this far from small ideas and thoughts. They are not specially skilled people. They are all normal people just like us. However, their thinking is distinctively different from us when we see or hear the news or information or ideas. That's where I learn to expand my thoughts and convert my fixed thoughts and notion.

Some will talk about life, technology and some would talk about dance, music and life. 

One of TED conferences I remember is Jamie Oliver who gave an interesting topic about 'Teaching students about food at school" - The follow video clip below is his conference and more videos are uploaded on Youtube. 

Furthermore, there's TEDxKL....

Endless Rain

Endless love... oops! Endless Rain it is....
I have no idea but I keep recalling this song as 'Endless Love' (my bad....)

I woke up to this song covered by my friend -> Handri who just recorded his playing yesterday. (Champion)

Title : "noop plays Endless Rain"

 As usual, I would check my facebook first after waking up in the morning and watching the video gave  me a BIG smile on my face. Wow.... what a fresh way to wake myself up!
Of course this song is from X-Japan and is one of my favourite songs from them. It's amazing how people still love this song until now and forever (heehhe...) and how I got to know about this song.

 The melody is really touching my heart even if I don't understand the lyrics, I would just fall in love this song. I got to know more about this song quite recently and It's amazing (again) how X-Japan holds a concert where all the fans can sing along while the artists could just close their eyes on the stage feeling the vibe and hearing the audience singing along. WOOHAAA.

This is one of the concerts they had before with orchestra:D

So...

Yeah....

I've told my friend, Handri, whether we all could jam this song one day:D

Well, if we can't get a singer to perform this song.

why not having two guitarist and one plays the melody? woohoo.

Sounds exciting!

:D

Cheers

a Change

A change isn't so bad after a long time.
Something original, applying what I've learned in the uni is also fun.

My blog has finally come to this clean background without so much artistic one behind.
Sometimes I will be running out of topic to write on the blog and I would just come and visit.
or just scribble something and log out.

However, TODAY after many (?) hours of spending on illustrator and photoshop I did come with something visual on my blog header. Well, I guess I can say that it's quite original.
Hope I don't forget the methods of doing this in the future.

This past few weeks have been very hectic and I couldn't imagine doing everything only by myself.
As much as I think I could do everything, w/o people around me, I ain't here where I am now.
:D (*BIG SMILE*)

It's thursday today.
Surprisingly I haven't had a cup of coffee today and I am still surviving!
so it's safe to say that I am not SO....... additive to coffee (yet). It could be just psychological reaction.
I've been sitting in front of imac for hours...! started from my design assignment which is due tomorrow 11.59pm (Funeeehhhhhh) and some other stuff like editing videos and photoshop(s).....

Was it productive?
I don't know.... (I skipped my two classes today though, lol)
But I managed to do what I've been wanting to do and delaying until today ;)
I will be uploading my art progress on my other blog soon.
If you wanna visit, please don't hesitate !!! just click the link below and have a look at it:D
http://beyondthenakedeyes.blogspot.com/

Alright, so...
What do I have more to end my day today?
Yes, I've got a short rehearsal with Kevin for his songs.
I've been postponing this practice with him since last week and it has come finally!
So let's see how far we could improvise and be productive on this...

Okies.ss... I guess that's it.
I just wanted to write something to upload after new decoration.

Cheers
Tada.
