This is Michelle from NTU, who has a blur queen personality and a love for biology.
Currently studying at the School of Biological Sciences.
I have my birthday celebration on 16 June every year.
Loves singing, reading, baking and eating.
Basically your good old plain Jane! :))
My sister to get a boyfriend New school bag Have A&W curly fries and root beer Donate blood New pair of pumps An overseas trip soon The tales of Beedle the Bard To push myself into First class honours Jog regularly Lose 2 kilos! Mend the emptiness in my bank account Golden flats from COTTON ON More tops! dresses light grey denim skinny Nice comfortable heels Trim my hair Belt Handbag/slingbag for going out Try charcoal mask Printer
A saturday well spent - went to the Science Centre to catch the exhibition on Leonardo Da Vinci. I don't regret going and spending that $16 because he is a truely amazing man, well worth my three hours in there. It is a concise exhibition highlighting his most famous works. It was lucky that he wasn't born in the present, because he will have a real trouble trying to fill up forms of all kinds. Most forms nowadays will ask for things like occupation, and for brilliant people like him will have no idea what to put, because he was a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, musician and writer. He is everything that a person can be, don't you agree?
Da Vinci was a man with foresight, and he learnt things so that he can apply them. In the old days, I doubt many man will think of applying the knowledge they learnt. Those scholars simply learn for the sake of learning, and they are not unlike myself. A particular quote of his intrigued me - "I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do." It totally changed my mindset of education. The purpose of education is not to know, but to do.
To fill you more with awe, allow me to highlight some of his famous works; The painting of Mona Lisa (which is still uncomplete till this day), The Last Supper, Vitruvian man and the ideal city. I'm still not sure how building the ideal city will prevent plague and stuff, so if you do know how it works, do you mind filling me in? And I love his work on the Vitruvian man, though strictly speaking, he did not have sole credit on that. The thing on the golden ratios and stuff, makes me just go wah, wah and more wah.
As if all these are not enough to place him many levels above us, he actually said something like he offended God and mankind because he had not done things to the best of his abilities. O.O I mean, how many people can achieve the things he did?
Well, if you will excuse me, I shall now go drown in my feelings of awe.
I'm getting increasingly nerdy! So if you are a fellow nerd and have a love for textbooks and shopping, do add me on msn: terrorist_gurl88@hotmail.com. :D
