NEW YR BLUESSSSS
It sux!!! Y am i working!! Holidays are neevr enuff. I'm so sian. It's back to workng life again and somemore there's nothing much to look forward to. Ok actually it's not that bad. Still got hari raya on 21st and cny next month....but it's not like it's the end of the yr where everything comes to a close and things go so slowly...now it's back to Jan again! The whole bloody cycle again!! The hot humid months, national day....sorrie man..that's wat really marks my memory of each yr. National day is like telling us more than half a yr have passed...oh yeah btw i caught Phantom of the Opera yesterday, so i fulfilled wat i've been wanting to do in 2004 now in 2005. It was nice. Very good. But i feel that the show focused too much on putting all the songs inside and neglected the need to develop each character more. Besides that, everything is else was great. If u don like musicals u won't like this. Cos there are like lots of singings and singings and singings so by the time u come to the middle of the show ur aldy like dead bored. Y the hell they keep singing...But im those idiots who loved phantom's music even when i've never watched the musical nor read anything much abt the plot. Juz like Moulin Rouge. Loved the songs..but never caught the show till one yr later its release. Phantom was set in 1870s. So all that fancy costumes makeups, sceneries..wow...nice. And the actors and actresses did very well in singing the songs. A muzt catch for musical lovers. But then again musical lovers won't wait for mi to say these to decide that they muz watch the film -_-
In the midst of all the gloominess...yesh gloominess from the shadows of the Tsunami incident and missing seafood for probably a few months due to the mass no of decomposing body missing in the sea...i've decided to add one more thing to make all of us sianer and ponder more abt our own lifes.
I believe all of u read the papers? Well i don. Haha..regularly at least. I read it like once a fortnight or something...it's amazing how i even know abt the Tsunami the next day it happened. Recently, the papers mentioned abt this chinese lady, i believe she's also singaporean, Grace Chow in the netherlands, who blogged abt herself fighting cancer. She has recently passed away.
I was presented with the blog url. And i tot for a long long time b4 i allowed my mouse to click on it. I didn't wan to hear abt more upsetting stories...somemore it's a real person telling us how painful her illness is causing her. Her life has taught me something. I hope it will enlightening ur some way or another too :) But sadly, she never accepted Christ, she even rejected the idea of God...rather embrace buddhism..pardon mi for this comment. I think it's sad. if u don think so..then respect my opinions then. She was free to choose wat she wanted of cos. Grace had also wrote a book, donoe when would it be selling here or has it been sold here. ANyway the blog will give u the website to go to her book. ONe of the extracts from the website which i found it really funnie and i'll paste it here for all to see...
Joshua B. Jeyaretnam was contesting a seat in the upcoming elections again, after a number of years’ absence. It is legally not possible to run for general elections after being declared a bankrupt, and he got his pants sued off for all the things he ever said or wrote about the mightiest triumvirate of Singapore: Lee Kuan-Yew, the first Prime Minister of independent Singapore, popularly known as 'God'; his son and probable future Prime Minister, Lee Hsien-Loong, popularly known as 'Baby God'; and the current Prime Minister, Goh Chok-Tong, popularly known as 'the Holy Goh'. There is something beautifully poetic about the juxtaposition of this threesome. It is the concept of the past, present, and future rolled into a sort-of quasi-religious Holy Trinity; it stands for the immortality of the Powers-that-be. This religious association cannot altogether be written off as flippant: the making of modern Singapore is, after all, attributed to God; he is generally considered infallible; his memoirs sell like the Bible; he lets the Holy Goh do all the work these days and, when the time is ripe, he will send us his son to save us from a life in hell...
