Olympics Table Tennis Semis FTW

wow ok.. so Singapore won the semis. means we confirm get either gold or silver le.. first medal in 48 years, after silver at weightlifting. woah.

was quite a hooha at the library earlier. a bunch of random people just gathered at the discovery channel corner, changed the channel and started watching. i came in at around 5.45, without the intention to watch, but got caught up in the whole spirit anyway. strange how such a thing like national pride that so many of us have become so cynical in can bring different people together..

now i worry that when it comes down to the crunch in the finals.. which side will Feng be on..? ours.. or her mothercountry’s..? and i realised here initials are FTW … woah.. ftw.

there ain’t no reason..

there ain’t no reasons things are this way
its how they’ve always been and they intend to stay
i can’t explain why we live this way
we do it everyday
preachers on the podiums speaking to saints
prophets on the sidewalks begging for change
old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name
i got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
a window and a pigeon with a broken wing
you can spend your whole life working for something
just to have it taken away
people walk around pushing back their desks
wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets
talking ’bout nothing, not thinking about their
every little heart beat, every little breath
people walk a tight rope on a razor’s edge
carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
it could be a bomb or a bullet or a pin
or a thought or a word or a sentence.
there ain’t no reasons things are this way
its how they’ve always been and they intend to stay
i don’t know why i say the things i say,
but i say them anyway.
but love will come set me free
love will come set me free
i do believe
love will come set me free
i know it will
love will come set me free
yes
prison walls still standing tall
some things never change at all
keep on building prisons,
gonna fill them all.
keep on building bombs
gonna drop them all
working your fingers bare to the bone
breaking your back, make you sell your soul
like a lung is filled with coal, suffocating slow
the wind blows wild and i may move
but politicians lie and i’m not fooled
you don’t need no reason or a 3 piece suit
to argue the truth
the air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
chaos and commotion wherever i go
love, i try to follow
but love will come set me free
love will come set me free
i do believe
love will come set me free
i know it will
love will come set me free
yes
there ain’t no reasons things are this way
its how they’ve always been and they intend to stay
i can’t explain why we live this way;
we do it everyday.

the world

well the world is f*cked. i still say the best way to solve all the problems earth is facing, is to erradicate the entire human race, or maybe leave 2 so we can start with adam and eve all over again. so i’m gonna study hard, and eradicate us all. don’t have children they won’t survive their lifetime. i’m serious. no better way unless someone can convince me otherwise

now i can’t decide between two things. whether to make the disease painless and symptomless so ppl just drop dead without knowing, thus increasing chance of widespreading, or making it really painful to teach us all a lesson. hmmm.

Deja Vu

pipes and drums festival today. had some major deja vu.
i’m preeeetty sure i’m not the only person who gets shit like this.

you know when you are somewhere at sometime, and you feel that hey this has never happened before, but you clearly remember it happening. and it freaks you out. sometimes its a vague feeling, and sometimes its really strong like today, i could practically predict what i was going to see for awhile. lasts usually round 2-15 seconds for me.

i don’t know why this happens, maybe i’m crazy, or maybe there really are more then 3 dimensions.

blah. i’m a piss nut.

Quidam

back in cirque du soliel craze. the songs and acts are so awesome.

Praise

Ok so we had CE today.
It seems in terms of praising God, we have not many qualms.
But how about praising others, our fellow human beings?

Not saying that I deserve any.

During CE today I was miserable as always, and when I least expected it, I received praise from someone equally unexpected (that being Kieran). Well it wasn’t really a phrase he just used me as an example for a MEEK person. Which we were discussing about in a positive sense of the word. Even if he just picked me because he wanted to get his turn over with and I was sitting next to him, I felt good for a while.

Yea and I felt really bad later when he realized his bag was locked in the room we were using. He went down earlier to look after the sec 1s, and when the sec 4s vacated none of us bothered to do him that simple favour. I was so caught up in my own shit that I just left the room, only thinking about myself.. so yes I am shitted up. Ok irrelevant.

I mean these things come naturally in western countries (America) as can be observed from such people I met. But in Singapore.. you’d be weird to add a positive adjective in every two sentences. I guess cynicism comes with a fast-paced environment and life. We lose sight of these little things, as well as many other beautiful things in our everyday lives that we take for granted.

So on the way home, I told my mom about some results I got back that were.. well way better than the stuff I usually get. But instead of showing any form of encouragement she went on about how I mumble.. and when I told her her necklace was nice, she just daoed and went on about how I shouldn’t keep switching songs on the player. Yea I just bummed out after that..

So IMO in some cases, white lies should be justifiable. Humans are vain creatures. We enjoy listening to flattering stuff, not splattering stuff. Being honest is good yes, but in some cases if it would bring about so much more harm I say don’t say anything, or at least don’t be direct. yes it’s good to see our own flaws, but having too much to take could cloud that. After all in some cases.. honesty kills.

Bleah.

Oh the bloody..

yknow your favourite disney critters? this is what happens when their contract expires.
well not really but still its quite inhumane of us humans.
