todaes' national day, which means that i get to stay at home to rest after a hectic day yesterday. but i didnt go and break, instead i went to meet up with some of my frens to play soccer. after playing from 9 to 1130, i knew i was in trouble and i almost died going home, haha. my legs were so tired that they nearly cramped in watever position i had to be in on my bike. in the end had to do some stretching in the carpark. lucky no one saw or else must think that i'm siao. after that reached home and decided to go to the gym and work out a bit lo. after the gym, i was half dead. kick starting my bike again was cramp inducing, but i had to bear with it coz got one chio bu walking by, haha. den i reached home and the cramps came, sat down to stretch, yes in the carpark again, before i finally made it home. and in the evening it was soccer again, so now my whole body is aching like hell. oh well, its not always that i get to do something else apart from breaking.

i finished the da vinci code already, to sum it up, i would say that the book came to me as breathtaking and shocking. firstly was of coz leonardo da vinci. i didnt know that from him came art in the form of maths and nature. the first piece of art they spoke of the one of the naked form of man drawn in a circle. he went to examine countless of bodies before concluding that the human body was formed so magically that everything was in the ratio of the divine number which is phi (pronunced as fee) which is 1.618..... if u don believe, take the length of ur head to ur feet divide by the length of ur bellybutton to ur feet, the number will be phi. the next piece of art that shocked me again was the famous mona lisa and her knowing smile. readin that book finally let me knew wat she was smiling abt. da vinci had drew her in belief that human must be in a balance of male and female to be perfect. therefore, mona lisa is drawn so perfectly that scientist upon examining the features of her face could neither examine whether it was a she or a he, but of coz da vinci was a great fan of the female form and made his art a she by giving her bosoms. the landscape behind her was stragically drawn to make the blance work out better. even the name is of mona lisa is of male and female balance. simply, Amon is the name of a male god of sex, while iisa(written as L'isa in ancient form) is the goddess of sex. when put together, the name became Amon L'isa. so shocking to me that he had put so much effort into his art. if u are ever free, go check out the mona lisa online. stare at the face which i did and u will realise that u cant make out the sex of that face and that smile seems so knowing that u are looking. da vinci's ingenious sends shivers down my spine.

hmmm, i think i got a lot of catching up to do with my frens lately. that day i had flare training with hazrul, it was so inspiring to break with him. even though we were both so tired, we pushed until we finally had to make a move because it was late already. i must get my flare soon! take care pp.
