The First Step

Hello, everyone!

Welcome to my site. Oh gosh, how I adore AI. I've longed to express my thoughts on a larger scale for ages. My first blog was written 10 years ago — shared only with a private circle of friends on Facebook.

Now, thanks to AI, I can finally build a website to share my verbal diarrhea with the world. The world is my audience. The world is my stage. The world is my toilet.

Here, I’ll be transferring my ancient blogs to this site. I stopped writing after having my second of three kids — multitasking was never my forte, and I ran out of dustbins to place them in.

I hope to garner traffic and use this site as a meter to gauge whether I’m destined to be a writer… or just a dad with a keyboard and questionable metaphors. I also hope to understand whether my wife has suffered enough from my untimely, crude, clumsy, philosophical humour.

Let's go!

The First Blog (9 Aug 2011)

I am a guy that likes to be seen as up-to-date. In fact, I am all hyped up at the thought of posting a blog in year 2011.Seriously, who would have thought of that? Victor posting a blog? Hahas.

Well, I have thought of owning a blog quite some time ago. But finding a suitable URL/name troubles me. I was thinking of a name more sophisticated, more intellectually provoking. And so, I searched. The path, the thoughts to a perfect name was an enduring one. And so shall not be mentioned here.

I found the perfect name in the end. Thinking goldfish! Anticipated response / reaction:

• what is the man thinking

• what is thinking goldfish

• others

Out of curiosity, 1) who is deciphering the "man" behind the writing? 2) who is deciphering the "thinking goldfish"? 3)Who did not have the patience to even reach this line? I do not expect people to choose option 3.

Sometimes, we need to forget so as to remember, so as to think. Methink! But no point thinking what I was thinking. It's complicated.

But for the fun of it, let us guess what a goldfish would probably be thinking. For some that understand fish, or particularly goldfish, they know that goldfish are forgetful animals. ie, they forget what they have eaten. They cannot even recall when they have eaten. Consequently, they feed the moment you throw food at them. To the point that they get all bloated up and die.

So what can the goldfish be thinking? Could it be: what have I eaten?

My conclusion from the following analysis is a "No".

If they are thinking what they have eaten, they probably will not eat. Because, by thinking what they are thinking, they would have known that they have eaten???

So what is the goldfish thinking?

The last time I asked a goldfish, it did not reply.

Chances are, it forgot my question. *

*Being that forgetful can be a very sad thing. I hope there can be more evidence to show that they are just deaf.
