Lyrics

doko ni yukebaii
anata to hanarete
ima wa sugisatta
toki ni toikakete

nagasugita yoru ni
tabidachi wo yume mita
ikoku no sora mitsumete
kodokuwo dakishimete

nanagareru namida wo
toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai anata no
toiki wo kanjite
dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love

Loneliness, your silent whisper
Fills a river of tears through the night
Memory, you never let me cry
And you, you never said goodbye

Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost our dreams along the way
But I'd never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates
Never thought you'd leave me alone

Time through the rain has set me free
Sands of time will keep your memory
Love everlasting, fades away
Alive within your beatless heart

dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love

nanagareru namida wo
toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai anata no
aoi bara ni kaete

dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love

nanagareru namida wo
toki no kaze ni kasanete
owaranai anata no
toiki wo kanjite

dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love
dry your tears with love

The sympathetic & unsympathetic nervous system

when to bryan's house yesterday and played ps2 + a harold and kumar goes to white castle movie. Also bryan did a nice hairdo for me, first time i actually used wax. Hmm, must ask the barber to thin my hair out. then headed over to wang's house to camp (overnight stay). Talked mostly about whether we're going clubbing, about getting girls in uni (as usual) and went to friendster to 'visit' some of our sec sch mates. Slept at 2am.

woke up at 10am today... left his house at 12pm, went to the library for awhile and yes! the book that i was searching for yesterday materialised at 515: Pharmacology. Spent the whole afternoon looking on drugs of the Sympathetic Nervous System, occassionally interrupted by the talk of a gaggle of gals beside me (heh) talking about censorship between singapore and vietnam "in vietnam if you say anything wrong you get thrown into jail. in singapore if you say anything wrong they fine u and you go into jail." so much for politics, i dun wanna get thrown into jail.

So let me talk about the nervous systems: we know that in the body there are two nervous systems, one is the Sympathetic Nervous System and one is the Unsympathetic Nervous System.
The Sympathetic nervous system is sympathetic to your actions, e.g. when you are running 5km in the hot sun it sympathizes with your tired body and tries to make you drop out. Individuals will experience a dry tongue, extreme breathlessness, high heart rate and heat radiating out from your body in all directions, also their muscles will decrease their rate of function and blah blah blah, with the effect that you drop out after one round. The sympathetic nervous system is not under conscious control.
Now, the unsympathetic nervous system does exactly the opposite: it ignores all forms of sympathy and forces you to go on. It is responsible for making you grit your teeth and exert your muscles more to achieve the desired effect, in this case, the continuation of running. It forces you to aspirate quickly, to gasp more of the much-needed oxygen gas that your muscles are in dire need of, as well as to swallow your saliva in order to lubricate your dried throat. It tells you "you can do it" and you really believe it. All this makes you think of yourself as some super athlete that has drunk 100 cans of Red Bull, and in due light of this finish the 5km. Adverse effects of using the unsympathetic nervous system is that you tend to bellow in loud noises words which are too vile to hear, e.g. after the 5km march.
And oh yes, the unsympathetic nervous system is completely voluntary and requires much effort to put to use. Frequent usage of the unsympathetic nervous system results in up-regulation; it takes less effort to fully stimulate the unsympathetic nervous system, from which it may resulting in the person becoming Totally Unsympathetic, i.e. a moron.
