Evil Days

Time pass in a very systematic order since very long time ago. Without realizing it, seconds passed while I’m typing this. It’s hard for scientist to come out with a formula stating how to discount back our life span from the day we will died to now and get to know how many seconds we left before we are no longer a living thing in this world. Exactly, every one of us has various lifespan and it’s hard to generalize the way of calculating it. Instead, human had come out with the first calendar over 5000 years ago in Egypt.

Now here are some definitions of calendar searched in Wiki:
“A calendar is a system for naming periods of time, typically days. These names are known as calendar dates. Cycles in a calendar are often synchronised with the perceived motion of astronomical objects.
A calendar is also a physical device (often paper). This is the most common usage of the word.
As a subset, 'calendar' is also used to denote a list of particular set of planned events (for example, court calendar).”

In other words, human had invented a tool to calculate how many days we had spent in our life. Well, suppose the first tool mentioned(to calculate days remained in our life) can be produced. Who would be so keen to know when they going to die? Maybe it’s the constraint of technology and human nature that make the idea impossible. But looking at the calendar we have now, at least it give us positive thinking. It tells us how many days we had gone through with enjoyment, grieve, hardship,etc. It also tells us how many days we have live our life to the fullest. Alright, seeing all this I would say that at least it encourage optimistic look back and ahead.

However, looking at a single calendar would remind me a lot of troubles coming in future. Argh, tomorrow would be my presentation, next week would be the submission of course assignment, another week following would be the final exam, blah blah blah. Undeniably, it reminds us about challenges and obstacles coming ahead. Probably this is another reason why some of us not even care to look at the calendar and know what’s the date today. That would be the fundamental of “what’s the date today?”-syndrome.

Me myself was sometimes was getting impatient and irate with the calendar I have. Small, tiny card contains all numberings. So, last semester break I had went for a trip to Penang and during the shopping time I come across this “Walla-calendar”! Why “walla”? it caught my attention because it’s the first time I saw such a special calendar. It reminds me back to the time when I was a LEGO-lover. It would be interesting to build and construct your own calendar in any form and serve as a decoration on desk. “it’snt so “not cool” to have a calendar on my desk anyway~” That crossed my mind and I bought it. The calendar comes in many themes, but I insist to choose the “evil theme” just to fit with my desk items.

sweet look of my new 3 dimensions calendar.wahaha!

And now I’m happy looking at the calendar everyday. Cool Evil Days!
