the duck took two years to get a license ; it nearly died. its my wrong. not only i have underestimated him. i have also misjudged him. i should get down on my knees and start kow-towing to him. i hadnt admit it but i do like him. yes, i like him quite a lot. i didnt expect it. he was actually quite humourous, understanding. he even seem to want to right the wrong whatever the past government did. for example, he says he wants to restore the speakers corner. as long as you dont talk about religion and i forgot whats the other no-no topic and you cant start a riot, you can actually speak at the speakers corner. and he says he wants to bring up unresolved issues from the dead and resolve them. i dont know what he actually means with this, but i do hope what PLU is hoping. i hope he resolves the homo issues. well, he is even willing to settle the casino issue, so i dont see why it aint possible to settle whatever PLU is facing. but then again, this is the national day rally. the rally where its all talk and no show. this is actually, my first time really listening. not that i didnt hear what SM Goh said last times but i didnt pay enough attention. oh wells, i do hope he would act upon it. and yes, he actually sounded okay. i never seen sm goh's first rally speech because i was barely seven years old then so i dont know if he was as nice as PM LEE (ah yes, my another lee). but then i do wish pm lee would continue to grow and have his sail set in the right direction. and yes, i did enjoyed his rally. (: and with regard to my title, it is a quote. from pm Lee. and i am gonna touch the topic he touched. you know singapore has got duck tours? well, there was a struggle to approve it because it was neither a car nor a boat. i mean the duck as a propeller and wheels. so what do you classified it as? then we had the hippo. ya know the bus without the top? where the second deck is actually open aired? yes, so we dont not say its a bus because it aint got a top. and since it isnt a bus, it cant stop at the bus stop. can it? he wasnt about to start labelling or classifying. i mean so what if the duck aint a car or a boat? so what is a hippo isnt an actual bus? we need to snap out of it ya know? i was at tp central buying my breakfast for tomorrow and i saw three gay friends jolsting around playfully and i could feel those who saw were staring at them, not in a good way. you know what i mean. then there is this other incident. this girl had polio. and it attacked her legs and seriously people were casting stares her way when she walked outside ntuc. i like, whats your problem? they dont need your pity. some people might be a little different from the norm. they might be physically disabled, might choose another path to go that aint common but this does not mean they arent humans and that we shouldnt treat them as one. as long as they have faith, have hope. :) and i quote pm lee " we should change our mindset". i was chilling with jol and jas at a weird spot outside taka the other day. there were 2 girls who walked past us and they and happen to decide to lift up their chins and gave us a haughty look (read : diao). we all know they are the neighbourhood lians (with the rebonded long hairs and bad dressing) so they arent worth a spit of my time. but whats their problem? i dont know if pm lee realised this because he was from a mission school like me and no no, mission school kids dont understand these things now, do we? if it aint broken, dont fix it. the new leader says if it aint broken, maintain it, oil it and make it work better than before. and just in case youre wondering, he used the word aint haha,yea. guess that he did two years of masters in the US did influence him. heh. i do agree. to a certain extent. i went for mass today. i dont know the father's name, but it aint important. the thing is i did enjoy his mass, his homily esp. light hearted and he knows how to get to the point. which i did wonder if lee hsien loong was at risen christ today because he touched the exact topic the father touched today. about labelling. it is true. and i do partake in it. i dont believe in labelling. i dont care what car the person drives, if he wears armani or crocodile to work. what matters is the person. if all the kid thinks about is play, then no matter how many tuition teachers you get him, he wont score. i had tuition for every subject when i was in primary school. and i only had occasional english and science tuition was in secondary. and it was only in the last month before Os that i did paid attention to having maths tuition. and Os was way better than the psle. what i think is that singapore put too much pressure on the kid. how many kids understand the importance of studying? i didnt until i was at pss then back at sn. oh wellsh. to each his own. then we are back at labelling. aye, but if you purposely do something to make people label you. then its your fault. for example this guy who was featured in the newpaper. .. who molested his kid and got charged but ran to indo, got married had children. but went back finally to serve his two years and wanted to get back to indo he didnt manage to because indo govt kicked him out and then he came to SG. and somehow managed to teach english and his classes had children as young as 8. and what irks me most? his own son whom he raped is 29 years old now and is a child molester. sad story but true. the other thing which hits me was the Gospel. "the first will finish last and the last will finish first." you might be first today but not tomorrow. ronal susilo beat the world no. 1 that day but he lost to someone ranked below him. li jia wei is ranked 6thseed and won ms kim fro, north korea not too long ago in AME but still lost to her in olympics. my mom was so confident jiawei would win but my first instinct was that she would lose no matter how much i wanted her to win. she lose not because her game deproved. sports is like this. milan may beat roma, real madrid, juventus, man u today. but there will be one day where they would win milan. its not just in sports. in life too. what goes around comes around, there aint no explanation. dasar: i dont know how i can help you. but youve got to know, i am here and you can talk to me anytime. that is if you decide to talk. and also God isnt here for the mighty high powered. he is here for the needy. the ones who needs his help, his love, his rescue...people like me, like you. put your faith in him, he will make everything alright. really. (: and so far, i really like the book i am reading now. i had it for a couple of months now but i never got to flipping until when the second book came along and i am oh so hooked. haha. the lipstick chronicles by kathryn shay, fiona kelly, vivian leibar and lynn emery. heh. Let's go back Back to the beginning Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned' Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect Trying to fit a square into a circle Was no lieI defy Let the rain fall down And wake my dreams Let it wash away My sanity' Cause I wanna feel the thunder I wanna screamLet the rain fall down I'm comimg clean, I'm coming clean I'm shedding Shedding every color Trying to find a pigment of truth Beneath my skin' Cause different Doesn't feel so different And going out is better Then always staying in Feel the wind Let the rain fall down And wake my dreams Let it wash away My sanity' Cause I wanna feel the thunder I wanna screamLet the rain fall down I'm comimg clean, I'm coming clean I'm coming clean Let the rain fall Let the rain fall I'm coming clean Let the rain fall down And wake my dreams Let it wash away My sanity' Cause I wanna feel the thunder I wanna screamLet the rain fall down I'm comimg clean, I'm coming clean Let's go back Back to the beginning 3:21 am powered by blogger |
