was with sam and the rest at dereks the other night, and liz asked me how it feels like to be graduating, concluding 16 years of basic schooling entering the big ocean. it made me reflect about it for the first time, a little i guess. reflection is good sometimes but its also important to remember that one doesn't trip on the stone behind, its the stone ahead thats important. not to mention when you look back too much, you get a neckache ;)
well for the sake of things, i shall say that im thankful for everything, good and bad all, so cliche.. but seriously, to me, there's really no big deal in graduating. not that im trying to play coy or act cool or anything here, but i mean, when we cross a traffic light on green, do we think much about it? no we dont, we just cross the road, go on to the next traffic light, and wait to cross the next. we dont go like "ahh.. that was a good crossing.." right? hahaha not sure thats a good analogy but yeah, you get what i mean. im not saying that schooling, or in particular university, wasnt special to me, im sure i'll miss it, just as i oddly miss my time in the army. what im saying is life goes on, nobody's head's gonna explode, manna isnt gonna fall from the sky, we still have to get up and do what we have to do tomorrow.
no need to always talk so much about life, when the time comes to "cross a traffic light" haha, we all know deep within ourselves what we have to do, just go in and get the job done. it may be very tough and theres disillusionment at times, but as long as we believe in what we are doing and dont stop walking, we will succeed in God's own way.
oh my god... i teared when i saw this. fuck y'all not cried okay, just tear only..
to anyone who ever thought that he or she wasnt good enough, which includes everybody some time or another, susan boyle puts us all to shame. just google her name and you will know what i mean. there are so many grown ass men and women saying that they were moved to tears when they saw her on BGT last saturday. and you read her story make you wanna cry summore. not like lance armstrong recover from cancer win tour de france kind of touching sia, thats oversold alr. this one is just so pure and simple la.. the same kids that made fun of her are now giving her high fives along the street. i love her reply when asked on cbs what she felt when nobody took her seriously, she just said, "you have to take yourself seriously no matter what, its very important."
here's her track on a charity cd made 10 years ago in her ulu blackburn village. only 1000 copies, i think even channel 8 little nonya piece of shit OST also produce more cds.. where on earth has she been hiding all this while man im thinking. now they are saying that her first album has already unofficially hit platinum before her even being signed for recording.
as one tyt turk commented, "at first when i saw her step on the stage, i thought she was a little mad. after she stepped off, i realised that everyone except her was mad."
maybe im taking it over the top here.. you decide for yourselves
plus the harlem globetrotters are gonna be here when im out of town.. aww man.. for the uninitiated, the harlem globetrotters are only the most entertaining sports act in the world. even for a non bball fan like me, id really like to see them. they should have a troupe for rugby, but ppl would probably get very hurt.
since i started on sunday school, i've begun to think a lot more about my faith. this easter just topped it off. do i believe in God, definitely. do i believe that jesus is God and he saved us by resurrecting, maybe. do i believe that only christians go to heaven, no. dont give me that john 14:6 crap, i know it well enough. i am taking that way, but thats not the only way. my faith has not weakened, if anything i feel that it might have matured to reflect what religion truely is. dont ever let the church tell you how to believe, ultimatelyt its between God and you, nobodys 100% right on religion. christians may have got it 80% right, buddhists 50%, hindus maybe 30%, some more than others. but to say that only if you get it more than 50% right can you go to heaven is pure selfish and ppl who say so are the worst. "nobody believes about something in only one certain way, anybody who does so is an idiot." -chris tucker even more so if he believes in a certain way based on the history of a bunch of people half the world away whom he has never met.
~they tried to make me go to rehab but i said no.. no.. no..~ very nice... very nice... in the face of krauts singapore 1 germany 0 thank you thank you glad i decided to head down to the after party ;)
who wants to go back in time to stop hitler? who wants to go back in time to meet elvis? who wants to go back in time to invent paper? now you can my friend! now you can..
plastic bags are the worst invention in the world. once they're issued, they are really quite useless besides packing trash. they've actually developed a bio-degradable kind but its not in the market yet, and probably wont be anytime soon since it'll be at least 10cents more than the regular kind. thats a lot for a plastic bag, not to mention shops that use up to hundreds a day.
which reminds me, was walking to get my groceries the other day when i saw a bunch of kids in the courts below having taekwando lessons. in fact, one 8-ish year old girl was being graded for her green kup. when i was a kid, i used to think taekwando was so cool, and wished my folks would send me to one of those tkd schools at the cc. now i realise you dont need a stupid belt to fight, you just gotta beat the shit out of outta the other guy.
went up to austin hills again with dad last monday too and it was awesome! christianing my new set, i think i scored about a 150 that day. maybe 250? haha. although i lost quite a few balls, lets just leave at "quite a few" la huh, it was loads of fun, especially the 15th, which is on an isle. anyway, uncle henry asked me to go along for deep sea fishing in june.
also! vijay chandrasekhar gopal rangasamy muthoo curry here i come man! woot!
