I went jogging today, but without my mp3 player.. I've noticed something very strange when I jog with the player blastic music in my ears. The music actually seems slower! Wow it might be that my sense of judgement and timing is slightly warped and twisted by the running but yeah, to me the music's tempo is slower!!

This is so hilarious, it relates totally to Galilean transformation or dunno what you would like to call it. I would love to call it "Ah Teck the Great's incredible non Euclidean transformation of music tempo relative to Earth's rotation" .. theorem. Yeah that's what I'll call it. Anyway the thing is basically making a mountain outta a molehill.. say you're running on a bus. The bus is also moving, so your speed relative to Earth is your running speed recorded on the bus + the speed of the moving bus. Why make simple facts so tough to understand? Physics is a lot of bullshit I realised.

So now I'm running so the music tempo relative to my perception of timing is ... slowed down? Hey doesn't that violate the whatever-u-wanna-call-it-theorem ?

Anyway IPPT is on December 19th and I'm determined to clear it at my first try. However I'm already feeling the effects of running on my left knee and ankle already. Maybe I should stick to non-impact activities like swimming.. haha! My favourite actually~!
This friendster thing is getting outta hand as agreed with my army friend. The thing is addictive and I should add friendster as 1 of the addictive waves of modern internet..
Ok, more readings to chiong.. I hope everything's well for...
