The Forbidden Experiment

The Forbidden Experiment has been used to describe the idea of bringing up a child in isolation, to see what, if anything, he or she acquired in the way of language, and possibly other attributes we associate with humankind. Much of the interest in feral children by the scientific community is because of what they can teach us that we cannot ethically learn by experimentation..

well due to all the comments from jensen and justin, i became interested myself, and so i googled the subject and found out alot of stuff...follow the link!!

• Some forum that i found out

" Some controversial experiments got performed on baby monkeys a while back which showed that if kept in isolation from a very young age they would develop schizophrenia, be incapable of loving parenthood (one monkey ate her own baby, another ignored it, another killed it deliberately) and incapable of social interactions, always submissive and timid.
I believe I even read that babies were shown to need other people to show them emotions and facial expressions or they'd never develop them, as from a young age we examine other people's faces to learn the "correct" way to respond to a situation or feeling. Babies can even die from lack of touch.
And the vulnerability of our young preordains social protectiveness and clustering around babies. We take such a long time to grow up that most people (excluding murderous paedophiles, of course) show protective feelings towards a child even if it's not their own, and will take pains to help a child separated from his or her parents because of our inherent desires to help the survival of our young.
Also, social nature is protection - safety in numbers, anyone?"
So yes, I think the social nature of humans is an instinct to sustain relationships with others that we're born with."

• case study on an isolated child, Anna which has little or no human contact for her first 5 years....

Quote of the day

From "Pretty In Pink"

"I don't know. Part of me says
just go to prom and get it over with,
and this other part says it's a stupid
tradition and what's the point?"

"Well, you know...
You could say that life itself
is a stupid tradition."

Is life a stupid tradition?
We are all subject to social norms..and norms are well, tradition.
I mean, girls are expected to wear skirts..
guys are supposed to be macho..
then this new age sensitive guy image comes in and now guys who are tough are called pretentious!!
and when girls act all gentle and nice and becomes a housewife and a good mother, we call them conforming to the society

but honestly,
y care?

"life is just a fucking beauty contest one after the other,
so just do what you like most, and fuck everything else."
quote from > Little Miss Sunshine


the problem is, for most people,
we want to be well-regarded.
We like to be well-regarded.
After all, humans are social animals.
We are not lions, or cheetahs who can live and hunt all by itself..
We are humans who are afraid of loneliness.
But then they say God gave us free will..
so maybe we can train our mind to forgo loneliness, isolation, pain, to suffering, the fear of death..if we can do that, do we still count as human?

I wonder, if u put a newborn child in an empty room for many years, what do you think will happen?

VIdeos!! and pictures!!

this is what look like be4 an interview..
scared, insecure, trembling, cold..



after some really really long procrastination-11 months to be exact, I finally uploaded the orientation 1 video!!

part1.1


part1.2


part2


well..since i have nothing to do..i decided to upload the piracy advertisement as well..


enjoy!!


anyway tonight went out with jun shen and christopher..

the food was great, though expensive..

but the company was better!!
CHEERS!!

Random

just saw a quite funny quote about marriage.

when ppl ask me about whether they should get married or not, i replied:
"marry, and you'll end up regretting."

"not marrying, you'll also end up regretting..."

well i certainly hope it's not true...


anyway i was reading "the case for creation"
and i was thinking: if i was god..and for everyone's sake lets hope i'm not..but if i was god, and i designed humans to help me accomplish something, then well, i would design them such that they would follow my orders..like a car or a robot should follow the owner's orders..
then maybe i designed humans to be like my pet..and our relationship would be something like a dog-owner relationship, if that is the case, i would quickly assert my presence..after all, unrequited love is, well, hard..but i guess since god is mighty and benevolent...
then maybe i designed humans to be my friend..but if it is so..i would design someone at least as clever and intelligent as i am..you wouldn't want to make friends with someone who's intelligence is way below you right?? for instance u don't make friends with an ant..
then maybe the relationship is like a father and son relationship..in that case...does it mean that since Adam was like our great*one million trillion zillion great great grandfather...god is our great*one million trillion zillion great great great grandfather??

hmm..i think i'm thinking too much..
oh one more thing..If God is so much powerful...how is Satan able to compete with him/her/it??
If Satan was as powerful, does He/It/She has a hand in designing the World??

ok..i really am thinking too much..
off to sleep!! gd night blog.

ThE true Form of my daughter..(CONTINUE)

After i regained my consciousness, the wise sage was in a bubbly cheerful mood...probably due to too much emo-ness too..
"haha, gotcha!!"

"huh, u mean the pic u showed me wasn't her true form?"

"of course not!! haha but it was damn funny seeing ur face turning into ash...."

**sweat**

"well anyway ok lar i had enough fun for a day..since u risk so much to ask the wise sage, the wise sage is gonna give u the real pic now..ready?, here i go!!! one! (strikes a superman pose)"

"..."

two!(strikes a ultraman pose)

x_x

THREE!!!(takes out a picture!!)

ThE true Form of my daughter..

Due to all the discussions about the true form of my daughter..
i decided to do some CSI-Singapore.


During my investigation,
I interviewed some important people, including the infamous Tan Shing Kwan.
Judging from what others have to say about him, i was prepared to be bombarded with words....
so it was unexpected when he remained quiet when asked about Fang's true form, apparently thinking hard be4 coming with his answer.
"I don't know"




Next, I met with Fang's good friend, Cherie.
When asked about her true form, Cherie stared at me

and said :" Don't u know it is forbidden to even raise this subject..she'll kill u!!"
I suddenly realised Shing Kwan actually knew but was too scared to tell me...Shi Fang must be terrifying to cause even SK to be afraid..

Fortunately I'm in Malaysia so she can't possibly kill me.

Anyway, I figured no one in Singapore will tell me for fear of being harmed..
so i decided to ask ANDY pro, the wise sage in Medan who knows all..
Unfortunately, he was a bit eccentric, probably due to his extreme emoness..
The wise sage started singing..
:"As we go on, we remember, all the times we, had together, as our lives change...."

"er...sir?..i just want to know about Shi Fang's true identity"

"Wait lar, don't disturab when the Pro Andy Leong is singing!!"

"oh ok...soli soli, go on then"
**covering my ears**

after 4 minutes.

"**sarcastically*Wow u have a nice voice, u want to tell me what i want to know now??"

"Oh my god, u are the first person to say that!! i'm so touched!!! ok lar..since u give me compliment, ill tell u without charge, are u prepared??"

"yes?"

"Shi Fang is actually.......** he takes out a picture and showed me**





Holy cow.

I fainted

**end of interview**

WHAT IFs..

*goodbye dear school*

14/12/2007
It was about 12pm. I was walking out from the hostel office, and seeing the music room empty, I intuitively walked towards the all familiar music room..and without much thought..just tapped my wallet(the access card used to be inside) on the access card reader to gain access to the room.
Nothing happened.
I turned my wallet and tapped again.
Nothing happened.

Then i suddenly realized.
I just surrendered my hostel pass that allows u access to all the facilities room in the hostel.

Suddenly it dawned me that i really AM leaving Singapore. For real.
Its not me seeing others off anymore..
No more music room, gym or hostel food.

I really AM leaving.


fast forward to the night.
I was "remaking" my room that basically hasn't been tidied/touched since secondary school
Thus basically my room was a reflection of my sec school years.
2 years having not seen nor touched all the books, photographs, scout uniforms, log books..
suddenly holding them in ur hands, really brings back lots of memories..
anyway..
Among many other objects, there were the brochures from HELP and Taylors..those were the places i would have gone if not for Singapore..
anyway.
when I saw the brochures.
I thought.
What if.

What if i didn't go Singapore.

You know what my answer was?

I don't really care
.
Becoz I won't regret my 2 years in Singapore.

Becoz I met wonderful teachers.(Ms Loo, Mrs Toh, Mrs Than and Mr FOO!! they're the best)
*hopefully mr hsu doesnt read blogs..i give him A for effort =p*

Becoz I learnt squash, Ultimate, and somewhat relearned table tennis.

Becoz I had a chance to play for an audience(duets and accompanying a wonderful violinist) and had a chance to literally feel my knees/and fingers shaking when i was on stage

Becoz I learnt how to establish a wireless LAN connection to play DOTA/CS =p

Becoz I am no longer a noob in photo/video editing

Becoz I learnt the concept of mass dance and think it is damn fun

Becoz I learnt that the best way to watch movies is to watch on your own com( u can pause and u can download subtitles)

Becoz I learnt who is Lang Lang/Li Yundi and Ishak Perlman/ and don't forget Ken Hirai



But all of the above does not really matter if not for the people that made my life in Singapore memorable.

The 10 ASEAN scholars..

in the end the experience was great, and we more than survived, didn't we!!!!
I'll miss each and everyone of them lol
Damien-Will remember Basketball to NFS to frisbee to pool to table tennis lol
Jensen- Yi3 Wei2 god!!! sometimes wanna punch him lol!! but he makes things in the hostel interesting!! will definitely miss him haha..
Chris- Will always remember his conversation with Sanstav about what songs to play.. Damn comical lar
Shi Ning- Will always remember her diatribe before every exams..haha and chris will be scolding her..and she will say next time must study hard...
Wen Xin- hmm..will remember her..not letting me put my hands on her shoulder..and thus breaking my fragile male ego.haih
Jun Shen- ubi?? last few nights spent with him and jensen was insightful lo..saw first hand how couples fight haha!!
Alan- the first Asean Direct to greet me in Singapore. Will remember him for all the movies he obtained that made my day!! BIg thanks to u!! Long LIVE Piracy, may piracy never ever die =p
Ming Wang- well..he's certainly cute!! and I will always remember him for knocking on my door and not coming in though it's not locked..that action tells alot bout him huh =p
Anurad- well..there's a reason she's the last person i'm writing..coz I'll remember not really knowing her? is that a good thing to remember? i dun really know..

16/06 (my class)(+shaun??)
I LUV ThEM...
they deserve a whole blog post to serve as a tribute!!
comin up later ler..

oh and not forgetting the other scholars+Amanda..some closer(like my roomate =p) than others..

The "3 towers" from 15/06(i'm tiptoeing..)

House Com ppl....
Ensemble ppl...(Jack Sparrow anyone?)

2 years of memories..

I'm going back soon.

Dun wanna go back...
but can't wait to go back too..

is there i way i can go back but remain in Singapore??
maybe i can clone myself??
but cloning doesn't let you experience and feel what your "twin" experienced..

I need something like Naruto's Kage Bunshin(shadow clone) where you can actually know and experience what is happening to your shadow clone!!

Or maybe i can use Harry Potter's Hermione's "time turner(izzit called that) where i can turn back time...and be at two places at one time.

Or maybe i can get a Deamon(the golden compass) and leave it behind??
hmm...

so many ideas..
are they possible?
impossible is nothing.

are they feasible?
in my dreams maybe...

cheers.

my KAWAII DAUGHTER!!!

This is my KAWAII daughter.


This is also my daughter, in another form!!
