check out christina aguilera's "beatutiful" mtv. kinda gross when u watch it, all amoral stuff. kinda sad cuz it really shows what the world is like. all fucked up and messy. but tt's the truth. we live in a complicated world. it won't get better but this is what we've gotta know. it's during such times when man feels small n lost tt religion comes to deliver n liberate. thank God tt i'm certain of where i stand in this.
felt tt the video really matched the song. very well done in the sense tt it drove the meaning behind the song. right smack-in-ya-face kinda msg but it's strong. within tt few short minutes, many issues were covered. strongly encourage u to chk it out, provided u're mature enuff not to be screwed up n affected after watching it.

met up with my pals n yeah caught up a bit. as usual, wensi made this comment "mag, u really shld've stayed at smu. it's the right environment for u" sometimes when she makes this comment, i really wonder abt my decision to withdraw frm the early admission. wld i be better off at smu? no one knows. probably it was God's divine plan for me to be in ntu. but i don't really know abt it now. juz living each day as it comes. no aim, nothing really exciting to look forward too.
turning 20 this yr. what's to be 5yrs down the road? 10 yrs? 20 yrs? it's a scary thought. gonna be sucked into the working world ekking out a living. juz like ah ye, she said no pt worrying abt attachments. u're gonna be working the rest of ur life. what's 2 or 3mths of internship? starting thinking abt ur life. what do u wanna achieve? earn big bucks? enjoy life as it comes? john once asked me this, what do u wanna be remembered for when u die? what do u want to hav carved on ur tombstone? what kinda tribute will ppl pay to you? are u sure u juz wanna be remembered as a person who achieved a lot in ur career? i'd rather not. don't care what ppl say, as long as i've lived a life with ppl i love ard me, it doesn't matter if i'm not a high achiever.

yest was the finals. i guess u cld juz read chock's blog to get the gist of what happened. muz say i didn't play my best. my defense sucked totally. and got a breakthru but didn't hav the speed to finish it off. i stopped to look for my wingers and ended up getting touched. even wensi n steph asked why i slowed down so much. shit, i cld hav nailed it in 7-8 instead of 6-8 as it is now. but yah nus deserved it totally. gelled better as a team. sth i thot we lacked is team bonding. after the game, everyone juz split up and sat ard separately. not like a team at all. quite bad actually. but yah i take joy in knowing the ppl, and becoming closer to chock n yiwen.
tmr's another round of games. i'm juz looking fwd to meeting n playing with my babes and having a hell of a time. gosh, it's been so long since i've seriously played and met up with the girls. you girls really make my day all the time! i juz smile when i see u all. so far, i still can't really find a big grp of ppl like all of u. miss u ah! *muack*
was reading ah lian's blog. hahah u one rocker! i like ur attitude and entries. cool! hahha nice page, but yah really small words lor. my eyes will spoil juz reading ur blog. heh heh

watched last samurai with my friends last nite. wah, i didn't expect tt i wld like sucha movie. very gd in terms of acting n storyline (altho tom cruise shld hav died in the end but yah they juz wanna preserve the main charac) the samurai leader (whatever his name is) is so zai! he looks juz like the rock (wonder if it's still zhimin's type) very cool n fierce lookin.
i guess i liked the show cuz despite all the machoness of war n stuff, they also showed the fragile n human side of cruise n the jap chap. their conversations were so personal altho they were enemies. cool! the jap chap also acted in their village comedy stuff- very cute cuz it's a diff side of this lord portrayed to his ppl.
oh not forgetting taka, the female lead. she really looks like gong li. but so much prettier. very oriental look but classic. she acted well too. the sorrowful look n controled tearing. oh her eldest son is soooo cute! hahaha tt little boy was my other favourite.
the samurai order - HONOUR

learnt alot frm bible study n sermon over the wkend. everything juz spoke to me n taught me one big lesson: love the unlovable
colossians 3:12-13
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do
not easy to do, but reminder that we have to strive to it. takes lotsa effort n humility to love one tt's unlovable.
sermon also taught on how our hearts shld be. the sun that hardens clay, melts butter. clay n butter are elements exposed to the sun. but each react in a vastly different manner. do i want to be the clay or the butter?
competition and envy are destructive. yields man against man, brother against brother. our pride gets swollen when we see others better than ourselves. so we compete to be better. when we lose, we become envious. in turn devising excuses and false claims to butter up our egos. we complain agst each other. but as Christ forgave us, so we muz do also. and i'm learning along the way
as john the baptist was the best man to the bridesgroom (jesus), he decreased himself to increase jesus. all to reconcile the bride (israel) and groom (jesus) decreasing oneself brings along the puncturing of our well-padded egos and self-image. how easy it is to say to be humble but yet hard to put ourselves down. doesn't juz relate to jesus and us, but also how we relate with one another. b4 we forgive, we hav to decrease ourselves b4 our adversaries. to forgive and forget.
a lesson frm a close friend: we don't need to worry if we hav God, so a life that cannot be destroyed is very visible for all to see. cheerio ellie!

hahha william hung. the biggest thing internationally. he reached his peak even faster than all previous american idols like kelly clarkson, rubben studdard and clay aiken..
this guy's got his own 'style' man! check out the cutsie blue tee, tucked in so tightly (reminds me of the old times when ah lians tucked in their sch blouses) and tt chain on his pants (some effort in creating the idol image) hahaha...
kinda cute, but obviously not the idol type.
we've got claymates after nerdo-turned-idol aiken, why not hav some 'hungsters' after william hung? cool rite.. hahhaha...
okok, i don't wanna insult aiken cuz he's got a really good voice. in fact, he shld duet with rubben (mr barry white jr)

treat ppl sincerely, don't be a hyprocrite and act nice. u can try to be nice, but save that act.
i can't imagine how ppl can try to be nice one moment and at the back, all the claws are out
be sincere to ppl and i'm sure it'll be reciprocrated
haven't been feeling too great lately. a bit jaded abt stuff. so probably i sound like some total bitch. but yah, if not for those ppl who listen to me complain and complain, i'll really burst out having to bottle all of tt. a couple of things hav been buggin me but yah.. taming my tongue. something tt i've tried very hard to control. so far so gd, but it almost popped outta my mouth that day. thank goodness i juz shut up in time.
wah i really sound like some irritating loser today. better shuddup or i'll really be a bitch.
apologies for the b-word

oversensitivity: what does it mean to you?
is it bad? no, cuz if u're not sensitive then you're as hard as a rock and oblivious to your surrounds
is it gd? no, cuz u'll be overly paranoid and troubled by foolish thoughts
moderation is always the key, as it always goes, but where in tt spectrum is the optimum?
-you tell me-
