 2 Minutes  Wednesday, July 20, 2005
(dedicated this post to my dearest sister)
Had wanted to blog on other tings. But cant bring myself to do it. I had promised my sister I would blog on my favourite 2 MINUTES. Thus, a promise is a promise. Gosh, machiam like GP essay. Reminds me of my o Lvls essay, Cats, where I weave a story on Cat related murder case. LOL~
I was tinking, tinking, how am I going to write it? I tink sis would tink the same. Yah right, a 2minutes blog? Nar,nt written in 2min, but to crap 1 blog on 2 minutes? What can u tok about 2minutes? To me,lots. Here goes nothing.
2minutes. It is weird how different people can have different aspect with regards to this 2 minutes.
Consider 2 minutes of these situations:
1) standing before the microwave with a growling stomach waiting for the pizza to cook
2) waiting for your fren
3) waiting for your fren while eating
4) being slammed continuously to the floor in a Aikido class
mathematically speaking, the length is exactly the same. The same amount of time. But why? Why does it seems so different?
Times where –Time Sped Up–
Waiting for your fren to meet up with u only to leave in the middle of doing something. Dun get it? Well, situation: u are playing computer game. Fren called and sae he will b here in 2 minutes. Darn, time passes damn fast. U blink only he came and u have to leave ur beloved game. Duh~
Times where –Time Slowed Down –
Waiting for a fren while juz looking at the watch, u probably go, GrrrRRrr~wads taking him so long?
For people like Dan Brown, 2 minutes IS a long time. For that matter, 2 minutes seemed like 20minutes. Pursuant to my favourite line, it is not possible in real-life that a person can race up fleets of stairs, out to the helicopter and raise it high enough to blow, high far away from the crowd, in a matter of, yes, yours sincerely, 2 Minutes. That was how I was inspired to write this 2 minutes Blog. For that matter, most of Dan Brown novel happened in a matter of overnight, racing with time and winning each time, at times, unconvincingly as per illustrated in Angels & Demons.
I cannot understand how a person can perform the said task in that 2 minutes, while walking down from escalator to get to the approaching in 2 minutes train is NOT possible. Not fair. When I am at the platform, and the screen shows 2 min b4 the nxt train, I know I no need to chase for it. I cant make it. Tested proven. But then again, izzit the lack of confidence in being able to make it that made my subconscious mind tell my legs to not run enough to make it.
As can see, to different people, or the same people, but in situation; same person, same situation but different mood, 2 minutes differs.
What is 2 minutes to you?
