ebenezer howard, who founded the Garden City plan, was educated till 14 years old and was a modest stenographer. this was the cool (and comforting) fact i absorbed today from studying urban planning. he liked being a stenographer because he could silently observe notable events. so stealthy but so wise. i think the training of a stenographer must have given him an edge in the big stuff he was about to do. he was not trained in urban planning, architecture, nothing of that sort but he changed the world, or at least a part of it, by realising his vision. how interesting. i never knew all these. he's my new favourite famous person.
social consciences, because of this, the famous planners envisioned new kinds of cities. i like the sound of that word, sounds noble and waiting to be empowered.
God exists independent(ly) of my imagination,
butbutbut sometimes i act as if He exists only in my imagination.
although God made the whole galaxy, milkyway, the sun and stars,
He bothered to make us too. so i think He loves us as much as He is mighty and powerful.
i think the whole cosmos just reminds us that man should not be as man-centered as we act sometimes.
i have trouble with words these days, is it supposed to be independent or independently,
bind bound bound or bind binded bound
academic or academia, but i solved this one.
a few days ago, i ordered cai fan from a vegetarian stall.
(i never eat vegetarian by the way, the lady was friendly that's why)
i bought mocked mini nuggets, which tasted totally like nuggets, as in real meat.
but towards the middle of my meal i started to taste its un-meatness and its tofu-ness. and i couldn't imagine it as nuggets anymore.
why, is it because my senses were awaken and my brain started to send tofu signals or is it because mock meat will never taste like meat eventually no matter how hard they try
