Going through the entire boring thing again!

Went to Orchard and spent some money. Bought a pair of jeans, had a cup of coffee, then decided to catch a movie because there was nothing left to do. Watched a show for really bored people-"MEAN GIRLS".
 
Side Track
[The movie captures the essence of American highschool bimboticness. As usual, there was exaggeration on the complexity, sexual drive and extremity of the typical highschool life. The occassional racist jokes and potrayals(of who else-of course tha Asians and tha Blacks) present in all American teen movies are also present. The Good-Good stuff for mindless humour and candy for the eyes. The Bad- Raises your bimboticness up a notch and makes you wonder why you even bothered to pay to watch a movie like this. The Ugly- I actually kinda enjoyed the movie. Guess the air in my head is just building up. ]
 
Back to the entire boring thing...
Had dinner after the movie. Walked down Orchard Road after dinner. Loitered around in a shopping mall because could not think of a better thing to do or place to go. Sick of walking, parted with friend. Headed for the bus stop. Missed my bus. Sat down. Bus arrives. Flags bus. Boards bus. Sat down. Watched TV mobile. Reached my stop. Alighted. Reached home. Took a shower. Looked in the mirror after my shower and saw the same reflection I have been facing for the past 22 years. Combed my hair. Switched on my PC. Logged on. Serving net for something interesting. No one to chat to. Searched frienster for updated pics of friends. Checked mail. No new mail. Logged in to blog. Thought about what to write. Nothing interesting. Decided to write about boredom. Began typing. Finishing up as I type this sentence. End of typing....

The Suffering Children!

Just finisehd watching the NKF charity show. Over the past few years, I have become increasingly irritated by NKF hardsell marketing. The use of expensive prizes to attract people to donate which sort of cheapens the real idea of charity. And the increasing amount of minimum donation for each call, from $2 to $5. But today's show really got me. I guess its because of the chidren. The show really managed to pull at my heartstings. They are just kids but they have to go through so much. I guess I am more sympathetic towards children than older folks becuse at least the grown ups might have had a chance at a pleasent childhood. But for the children, it is a torture since the day they were born. A 24/7 torture for them and their family. It is just not the way any single human being should be made to suffer at such a tender age. For the adults, it could be a lack of care for their personal health that led to their illness. But for most of these children, they could have done nothing to prevent it, they were born with it. Imagine a 13 year old stuck in the body of a one year old. You grow but your body doesn't. Imagine the pain of the parents after giving birth to a sick child. Imagine the self-blame, pressure and life adjustment they had to go through.

These charity shows always make me realise how little I can complain about life. But NKF better start to show more transparency in the usage of the funds donated. Where do they go and how much is actually left and how much they actually use for their elaborate advertising campaign. I hope the suffering children and parents who appear in the show are not exploitated by NKF. They better be getting every single cent that is donated. I wish all of those suffering, STRENGTH & COURAGE!!

I am the hero that saves the day.
I am the one that people say to-"with great power comes great responsibility."
I am the one that is afraid of loving the people I love, because I harm them for who I am.
I am forgotten by those I save but remembered by those who seek vengeance.
I swing through through the concrete jungle, searching for the next life to save.
I give up everything that was given to me only to realize my true destiny.
I am what I tell myself I am.

The gaze of the others is but an illusion obstructing your search for your true self.

I am SPIDERMAN!

Greece Is King!

The order of universe has gone wrong!! Greece are the Euro Champions. How unbelievable is that!! What happened to France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Germany, England? What happened to the football greats? My heart goes out this morning to a weeping C. Ronaldo. It is indeed the end for the Portuguese golden generation. Figo, Couto, Rui Costa. Never to win a major championship with their country, just when they thought this could be the one, right in front of their countrymen, their dreams shattered where it all began. To add on to the insult, they had to end their international career in defeat right in front of their countrymen, on their home soil. I was still telling my sis last night that no way was Greece going to win this because she placed her bets on Greece. It just cannot happen. But it did!! Greece is Euro champions- guess this makes Singapore's 2010 World Cup plans more believable...Nah!!! That is way off the realistic charts!! Haha!! Perhaps it is time we got Otto to be our coach! We really need someone like him.

2nd July 2004

Played Badminton in the morning. Followed by 5 hrs of Karaoke. After which I left for home. Had dinner at my Granny's and I disliked all the dishes she cooked today. And here I am typing this. Since I have quit my job, I had better find something fulfilling to do for the rest of the month before school starts.

Also through a friend today, I realise how changes are inevitable. No matter how similar you are to what you used to be, you will never be the same as before as something is bound to do something to you. I guess some things are just not meant to be told, this region called personal space that is so private and sensitive to the knowing of others. You no longer know so much about each other. This isnt negative or positive, it just is, it is just the way life works I guess. It is like 2 identical lines running in the same general direction but at slightly different angles. But hopefully these 2 lines will always be close enough to each other to look out for the other. I just hate it when I think of all these and speak in this f**king manner.

Feel better now after exhausting all this crap on the blog. Until next time...
