A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play
the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces
for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was
calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of
them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was
musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and
then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman
threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to
him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again.
Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother
tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the
violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to
walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by
several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced
them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and
stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk
their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and
silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there
any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best
musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces
ever written, with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, tickets for Joshua Bell's
performance at a theater in Boston were sold out and the seats
averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro
station was organized by the Washington Post as part of an social
experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The
outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour:
Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize
the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we
do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians
in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other
things are we missing?
Are we the same?

My exams were over last Friday( at long last) and after the exams me and a few of my college mates decided to go for a movie in pyramid . we went for transporter 3 and the movie wasnt tht bad although i have to admit Jason Statham was a bit TOO GODlike in almost all the fighting scenes, but i din really care.Oh and before i forget, the lead actress was really quite a turn off with her infinite freckles :(
we also had a great view of LIVE PORN (HOMEMADE some more) of some couple who were opposite the lake but we decided to remain civilized and not watch them .lol. hahaha.
after tht since i myself was quite drunk, i decided to crash at ben's place as driving back would be dangerous and it was already around 5 in the morning. I went home the next day forgetting faris had his car keys in my car and the poor guy woke up at 1 and called me for his care keys. so we met up at medan for lunch and and gave the poor kid back his car keys. lol. And now i cant wait for this friday as i'll be going PD with some other friends and also Genting with my college mates some time soon.
:D
Hope i can squeeze as much fun as possible from this short holidays. :D
after tht we were suppose to go clubbing but we didnt. so we went to kota kemuning for some drinks and well, we really drank and Faris was pretty much foxed out , even moses who almost walk straight into a drain( btw we were drinking beside a lake) and jere was the poor victim of Faris who decided pulling Jere's pants and playing kejar kejar would be amusing( everything was amusing for faris in his drunk state :D) We also did a few more things tht would be too embarrassing to be stated here.

i received this joke via email from a friend and would like to share it with you all
These are from a book called "Disorder in the American Courts", and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

sorry to everyone out there but the boy who is deprived of love(kay been pronounced as keh bin, this is purely coincidental) cannot be published as this particular loveless kid said no to my post as it states to much( much not many) truthful things for him to comprehend and he confessed that he might break down and cry( as they say, the truth hurts) , so :D i'm sorry once again
:D
p.s. yb (aka icylicious) claims she has flowers growing in her ass waiting for me to update her post. wth, so truthful some ppl, so maybe i shud write about her . but then again y waste time when she writes about herself and does it admirably well herself here :D
while browsing through my phone that day, i saw this video which i like to share with you all ;)
(although it is a bit unclear)
so can anyone guess who is the guy who took a small girl's bicycle and cycled it as if he owned it?
:D
