Why are you crying ?
From the straits times today.
A heckler taunted Took's wife. "Why are you crying? Why are you crying? Your husband's a killer," the man yelled in mandarin.
So what if her husband's a killer? so what if his father's a killer? Does that give you the right to taunt, gawk and shout at them ?
And WHY can't she cry ?
Leave his family alone. His family didn't kill.

the SPG was right after all....
good day,
just finished WOMAD. and whoa, MAD it was indeed. i won't bother describing my job scope, it was insignificant that night. what i would like to share with all of you is that the music was, unexpectantly, absolutely fantastic. not only the music - the crowd was indescribable. i couldn't take my eyes off the skin glowing with sweat tonight. model faces, perfect bodies, mesmerizing eyes. they had it all. When Dhol Foundation (one of the bangra bands) said "i heard singapore was a conservative place but somehow i just don't think you guys are!" i couldn't help but smile to myself. Why? Because 80% of the people there were caucasians. How could they be conservative? Only a select few of asians, most probably SPGs or artsy fartsy people were moving to the groove. until of course at the end when perpetually everyone was on their feet.
If an SPG said that singapore guys are immature and what nots, our first reaction would be to defend ourselves and say "hey that's not true". but come to think of it, they're probably right. Where do yellow (chinese) dudes fit in in the dating game? White chicks dig white guys, yellow chicks dig white guys, black chicks dig white/black guys, hell, even white guys dig white guys. Us conservative asians, too afraid to speak up, too afraid of rejection and shame, sit back and pose (hence poseur), pretending that we're too cool to lose it, to go crazy, to have fun.
two more nights. i'm thoroughly enjoying it. free food, free drinks, free enertainment. what more can i ask but perhaps the company of some audience.
and tonight, i fell in love with a heineken girl.

This is my Father's world
Consider the lilies,
how they grow.
They neither spin nor toil,
but yet i say to you.
Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Luke 12:26
He replied me today : Pray for them. Smile at them. Ignore what they spread.

what am i doing?
nothing.
what have i done?
nothing.
what am i going to do?
i don't know.
sitting here, watching the world go by.
wasting my time away.

first day of sch..
i just woke up !!
i went home, had dinner till 7+ and decided to "lie down for a while.." guess what.. i fell asleep until now!! had a dream even of buying seafood from the market.. greg was there.. we bought crabs, fish, squid.. all kinds! and some tube-like worm thing which goes into your skin and ........ shit what was the dream about ??!
anyway i even dreamt anna called greg! he held up his hp and it showed " Anna Hp calling"... wth i think i'm too tired.
anyways i enjoyed todays lesson. didn't think it would be much effort paying proper attention in class. i didn't do it much in sec sch and jc, always lazing and sleeping in class... pia when exam comes. so i guess i'm not used to actually paying attention! right from the first day..
really hope we guys can get used to studying quick, 2 and a half years in a long time.. and albeit some studying's been done in army, its totally different!
was on the way back home and decided to pray for perseverance and favour from God for my entire 4 years of uni life. kinda worried that i might run out of "steam", you know, so excited because sch just started and want to do everything right, but when the courses drag on and HW piles up, sometimes, one just tends to shut off and do slipshod work. i think it takes a lot of effort to be both persistent in self-improvement as well as consistent in everyday work, and He should be in the equation. thank You for everything =o)

nice small town ?
ms mok brought this to my attention =o)
Fucking (IPA: [ˈfʊkɪŋ], SAMPA: ["fUkIN]) is a small settlement (population c. 150), part of the municipality of Tarsdorf, in the Innviertel region of western Upper Austria, located at 48° 02′ 60″ N 12° 50′ 60″ E, bordering Bavaria. It is near the city of Salzburg. The village is known to have existed as "Fucking" since at least 1070 and is named after a man from the 6th century called Focko. "Ing" is an old Germanic suffix meaning "people"; thus Fucking, in this case, means "place of Focko's people".
The name, spelled identically to the gerund form of the English profanity "fuck", is often found amusing by Anglophones. In German the name has no obvious associations, amusing or otherwise, although many German speakers will be aware of the English word. The German cognate of "to fuck", regarded equally as low as the English word (or possibly as more obscene as it is almost never used figuratively), is ficken.
The settlement's only significant feature is a traffic sign with its name on it at which English-speaking tourists invariably stop to have their photograph taken. The sign is the most stolen street sign in Austria. A considerable portion of Fucking's budget is spent on replacing the stolen signs.
In 2004, the residents voted on changing the name (owing to the stolen signs and embarrassment over the name), but decided against doing so.
