Curiosity is a double-edged sword (1)
When I was in elementary school, my father bought Harun Yahya's series of documentaries. I used to play them on the VCD player (hahahaha VCD player hahaha, ancient technology :')) after school on the afternoon, almost everyday. Each CD documented a certain topic. There were plants, animals, bees, ants, and even the Nazi. The interesting thing was, Harun Yahya always connected natural phenomenon to the Holy Qur'an. Sadly, I wasn't old enough to fully understand what he was talking about, and now the CDs are gone. My Dad also bought the famous book called "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen R Covey, which I only open for this legendary illustration.

Maybe I should start reading the book for real though, since I am highly ineffective T,T. Oh, and my Dad also bought a book about Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and bunch of other books which had nothing to do with his field of work.
The point is, my Dad is a curious person, and I think he passed that to me. I really, really, I mean REALLY enjoy watching documentaries. I love space documentaries the most, but I also enjoy any other documentary that seems interesting. I even watch documentary about mathematics, which was my most hated subject in school. (no offense for mathematician and mathematics lover, I just hate the subject because I sucked at it). When I am interested into something, my mind wanders. Questions popped into my mind. I feel like I have to look for answers, right here, right now!
Whenever I meet my friends, for lunch, or dinner, or just hanging out, I'll slip some questions into the conversations haha. Everyone got their own questions, and they are fitted for their area of expertise. For example, when I was meeting with my high school friends, I'd ask one of my friend who was majoring marine engineering, questions about why the hull of a ship shaped funny at the front. I'll ask my friend who was majoring computer science what happens to files when they are permanently deleted, and so on... I'm so so so so sorry if that was annoying for you guys T,T, Pram, Johan, Nida, everyone ...
You might be wondering, what is this girl talking about? Those are not bad things at all. Why is that a double-edged sword? Does she know what she's talking about? Why is the style of this blog so bland? Why are there only 3 posts? What kind of name is Voila?
You are right, they're not bad. But it's just the beginning. To keep you from being bored by the intensity of the writing, I'll divide it into two parts That's it for this part. Please continue to read the next part if you're interested.

About the illustration:
It's an optical illusion. Some see a young woman
And some see an old woman
And some might see other things. No answer is better than the other. People see the world differently :) So... what did you see? Please write on the comment if you don't mind.
