Discovery channel

The other day, i was curious and so tuned in to discovery channel. And guess what, it was really interesting man. The title of the show is uncovering History's greatest mysteries: Who Killed Julius Caesar. Its narrated by this italian historian, who is out to find out the circumstances surrounding the death of one of History's greatest person, Julius Caesar. He even reenacted the crime scene and got people to act it out. From his findings, he concluded that he was killed by 5 - not more than 10 people. Hmmmm, the way he investigate is very systematic and scientific. Every deduction or assertion he made was well supported by evidence. U must understand that Caesar lived more than 2000 years ago. So being able to find out so much from ancient text, archeological evidene is pretty impressive. Anyway, what he later found out and concluded is most impressive. He concluded that Julius Caesar actually planned his own death, using his conspirators as his suicidal tool.
There are alot of reasons behind him plotting his own death. One of them is that he is suffering from some disease that causes him to shake uncontrolably and prevented him from controlling his bowels. Now Caesar is a very vain ruler. He is someone who is very concious of his image and will do whatever to protect it at all cost. One arguement is that he plotted his own death to preserve his dignity, so as not to die ungraciously from disease that is out to consume his physical body. Another reason is that he wanted his name to be preserved in history. He wanted to live forever in historical records. There are also many evidence that he wanted his own death. He knew about the oncoming assasination. Yet 2 weeks before he was actually assasinated, he dismissed his body guards, a baffling move. Also when he was assasinated, in his hand, he was actually holding on to a piece of letter, delivered to him be an unknown person. The letter warns him about the oncoming assasination.

This is a truly interesting documentary. Hmmm... i know that Caesar is a very cunning person, however i din know he was that cunning. Another interesting thing to note is that his conspirators plotted his assasinations as they hated being controlled and dictated by Caesar. After the successful assasination, they ran thru the streets with joy, thinking that they are forever free from him. Little did they know that they had actually carried out Caesar's last bidding!!! Caesar actually used his conspirators to plot his own death. A few days before his death, Caesar changed his will, changing his heir. This heir later accended the throne. Within the next few months, he hunted down all the conspirators and had them disposed of! This again shows that Caesar had planned everything mediculously before his death!!! What a cunning and sly person he is!

Life's harsh realities

One of my friends, Meng ting called me today. She told me that Dong mei's ( this gal from OAC last time in JC ) father had just passed away. Life is so unpredictable. Before her, i think i remembered a few of my friends with single living parents. I dunno, but somehow upon hearing the news i felt very disturbed by it. How often do we really appreciate our parents. How often do we honour them, really talk to them. How aware are we on the sacrifices that they have made for us....... before they are really gone. The sense of dread in me is overwhelming...
She further told me that they will be meeting up at 7 tomorrow to visit her. But alas! i am meeting ChangHao, my president to discuss some ECA stuff. So cannot go liao.... Hopefully she will be ok lah, althought i also dunno her very well... but my heart will go out to anyone who has lost a parent. I must have felt really really terrible. I send her my greatest condolences, and hopefully will be strong to pull through this terrible ordeal...
