Seven? Yupp, the favourite number everrr for so manyyy people out there. Especially since it was Beckham's and Ronaldo's no. back when they were at Man U. Other than that ,why though? Seven wonders of the world, the Seven seas, Seven Heavens, Seven Dwarfs,  Seven eleven etc. Why is everyone and even nature so drawn to this particular no.? Why not 1 or 2 or 7? Argh!~ See, inevitably i accidently mentioned 7 again. Geez. But don't get me wrong, my favourite no. is 17, which erm, still has 7 as half of it. But still!

Okay,back to the number of subject here... It is mostly regarded as a lucky number, yeah i see where the movie Lucky Number Slevin comes from (haven't seen it though). So according to Wikipedia, our friendly-neighbourhood encyclopedia, Se7en also happens to be a " Mersenne prime (since 23 - 1 = 7) but also a double Mersenne prime since it is itself the exponent for another Mersenne prime (127). It is also a Newman-Shanks-Williams prime, a Woodall prime, a factorial prime, a lucky prime, a happy number, a safe prime and the fourth Heegner number. " A happy number! Aaah, so cute! So what are you trying to prove huh?? That the other numbers are all depressed lil' integers who pop pills every now and then to keep going on in maths??

Some interesting facts about the no. 7 :

  • Almost all mammals have 7 cervical vertebrae
    The number of spots on a seven-spot ladybird
    (DUH!!!!!!!!!)
    There are 7 SI base units.
    Isaac Newton identified 7 colours of the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
  • Seven days of Creation
  • The Seven deadly sins: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride.
  • The Seven Lucky Gods refer to the seven gods of good fortune in Japanese mythology.
  • The movie Se7en, directed in 1995 by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.
    The film Lucky Number Slevin, directed in 2006 by Paul McGuigan starring Josh Hartnett and Morgan Freeman.
    (him again??)
  • James Bond's secret agent number is 007.
  • In the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling, seven is said to be the most powerfully magical number. There are a number of references to seven in Harry Potter: There are a total of seven books in the series; Ginny Weasley is the seventh child and only daughter of the Weasley family; Harry Potter was born in July, the seventh month of the year; Wizarding students must complete seven years of school at Hogwarts; Lord Voldemort splits his soul into seven parts which he believes ensures his immortality. Seven is also the number on the back of Harry Potter's Quidditch robes (Prisoner of Azkaban movie). In Quidditch each team consists of seven players. Chapter four of Book 7 is titled "The Seven Potters". (OOOOOHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH!)

    So there ya go! A lil' trivia of facts of the no. 7! And do you know what I actually wanted to post about? Actually, when i opened my two mailboxes today, there were SEVEN emails respectively in both of them. All either junk or forwarded mails, of which i only read one. Sigh.

    Gonna be going on a hunting trip later this afternoon after lunch. Not demon-hunting of course (as much as i'd like to go with Dean Winchester!! T.T) but job-hunting. Was a bit excited a few days back, but now all the laziness drowned it all. Just some place nearby. Gonna see what we land ourselves at later before really starting next week, most probably. Wish me luck. T.T Okie, gonna go for the daily shower now. Haha. Cheers~!

    Leave. Leaving. Left.

    Oh gawd is it my hormones again or something else this time? It's not even my turn to leave home yet! I guess when everyone's of around this age decisions about big things in life are due to be made, sooner or later. It's a gut-wrenching feeling inside that you can't seem to get rid off, not even after you've made your decison, or worsens by then, actually. Give or take 20 years at most and then you've gotta begin standing on your own feet because your stand can't hold you much longer. The nest has become too small over the years, or have you grown both mentally and physically too much for this home?

    Somehow the society obliges you (can i put it this way? anyway i hope it doesn't sound too bad) to broaden your horizons, get more experience, yadda yadda yadda. "For your future.." and stuffs like these. Not that i'm against further studies and higher education, but to be honest, i don't like the possible changes and the uncertainties that come with it. For someone as undecisive and lazy at things like these, sometimes i wish life could be like how we slowly progressed automatically from kindergarten (it's spelled with a 't' actually; not like in 'garden'. Just found out not that long ago btw) to primary school and then to secondary school. Easy,isn't it? Where all your friends seem to be equals; all the same, plays the same, talks the same, and thinks the same, even. Maybe then we wouldn't have to leave all our behind old memories we used to know and move on to another place where we'd have to learn how to settle down and be comfortable again, which i've learnt, is quite a hell of a process, especially without the warmth and support of family love.

    Everything seems so much easier then when i was younger (that's saying something since i was kinda a depressed lil' sour plum inside sometimes at that age), just play hard and study hard. As simple as that. Maybe you'd say i am a coward who's afraid of everything, the kind who won't and can't go far in life. Sometimes i do think of that too ,oh sure i do. When greater tasks and challenges come my way i wished i could just hide under sofas and inside dark storerooms where no one would find me (which was my favourite houdini act when i was much younger, but to the frustration of my grandmother). But luckily there's still some rational part in me who knows better than that. Moving forward means being able to achieve things you want. And being such a head-strong species that we are, achieving things we want can sometimes be even more important than merely surviving on this Earth. Sometimes, it is this that becomes our powerhouse, those invisible pair of hands that push us forward from behind, that one thing you've gotta hold on to when you feel like you're falling. So maybe after all as we get on further in life, we'll figure that this was what we have brought upon ourselves ultimately. Not the society, not our family, but us. Because of that one thing or things in life that we WANT to achieve, for all the reasons in the world but without losing our balance, of course. (the word WANT is in caps because it is a big word, after all.) In this life where sometimes WANT outweighs NEED, we could be quite a dilemmatic species at the same time, ye know.

    I have no idea why this ended becoming the way it became because when i started all i wanted to write was to say how a bit glum i was because two of my good friends just left the hometown for the big city (which i refused to refer as as Kay Elle or whatever. KL would still be just KL to me). Hope they're coping well there and if it's any comfort at all, at the very least you guys have settled on what you're gonna do from now on, not like those of us (read : me, for one) who are still standing stuck at the crossroads, not knowing which direction to follow. Hoping that the day would come quickly before the darkness of the vast sky or the merciless ground swallow us whole before we get to choose what we want.

    On another note, see how the indecisiveness in me illustrates in my writing. One minute i'm heading that way,and next i have no idea what led me here. Maybe that's what you would call a bad writer.

    Here the Joy of Giving~xxx
    posted by athlynn17 on December 25, 2009 at 06:03 PM

    Any crap?

    First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody!!

    Can't believe it's that time of the year again. Time does seem to pass so fast these days, or is it me? Feel myself getting older and older (word : auntie-ish.SO FAST??)  by the day. Comparing prices at different shops, buying nail polish, showing an interest in make up etc. It's the big TWO O for me next year! Oh gawd. People are dropping dead at 32/33 nowadays it scares me shite.

    Okay anyway, other than worrying my teeth off for my results, I'm practically enjoying myself doing mouliu stuffs in the mean time. Like playing sims 2, Plants vs Zombies (which btw, i've finished the Adv mode! FINALLY!), watching Supernatural etc etc. Haha,these days are priceless!

    Well,this year's Big O' Xmas is pretty different cuz this is the first year where i go out and do my own Christmas gift shopping! Went to the local mall with my friends and managed to buy all the gifts for my family members. Of all the years i've been receiving christmas gifts, I never thought that giving them was sure as fun as hell too! Haha, but there's a hole in my pocket to come with it too,but aye, so what. The Joy on my family's face? PRiCeLEsS. HOHOHO.

    Hopefully i'd update a lil more since i'm free now. Here's cheers to the world and someone named ATSW.

    The Waiting Game

    The Waiting Game

    Everyday is a waiting game
    Throughout the years it's been the same
    For Sun to rise and yellow befalls
    Upon this land, upon us all

    Everyday is a waiting game
    An ancient rule never ashamed
    For Moon to come and darkness reign
    The secrets we have to keep us sane

    Everyday is a waiting game
    A victory i have yet to claim
    Because who is to know where's the line
    Blurred between reality, just so fine

    Everyday is a waiting game
    Maybe I've learnt enough to reclaim
    My mind, the sane mother of my heart
    In the midst of it, I've played my part

    Like a golden rule set in stone,
    This game i have not outgrown
    This sick game of waiting I am forced to play
    Of rules and conditions I have no say

    But for how long, how long more
    Do i have to wait outside this door
    All I wanted was just to soar
    Run, fly,swim in the wildest shores
    Oh all the things I've longed for
    Just an inch more to the open door

    And then I hear chains upon my ankles
    Reality returns as Reverie crumbles
    Barren plains blurs in to focus
    Alas, Disappointment frolicks through this circus

    Everyday is a waiting game
    I guess for now it's more or less the same
    Like a cage, with bars and chains like these
    But this time, let Me hold the Keys.
