So we went for some "famous" and "original" laksa...(if you go there..you'll understand the inverted commas. Well, it's just cuz there are at least 3 *authentic", "original" and "famous katong laksa stalls right next to each other. Make sure you go to the real one=P





Then it was onto Andrew Leong's house for a movie. Thank you for opening your house especially on such a short notice (zero notice to be specific=P)

Haze

Okay....I do not usually comment on this blog nor write stuff usually. BUT Seriously, someone really should do something about that haze. Once, we can overlook. Twice, we can forgive, considering the fact that it takes time to reach everyone. Thrice, some of us still have the heart to sypathise with their stories of "it's the livelihood of the poor farmers who have zero education and absolutely no money". Okay you get the point. But for crying out loud....it's become some saddistic, selfish, unthoughtful, never-ending, un-called-for ritual.

Theres just toooo many points as to why this is so terrible...so i will not even bother to start. I just cannot believe this is allowed to happen again and again. Cannot understand how they do not see how irresponsible their actions are! If you realli think burning the forest is your only solution, please by all means, go build urself a bubble and breathe in your own haze. Because that's the kind of lifestyle you have been living---in a bubble.

Wake up and smell the smoke. Those thousands (okay...let's just give it to you, and assume its your whole country's population. Just in case you say it's more than thousands) of farmers are affecting the WHOLE ASIAN (and beyond) community. And this is just talking abt the human aspect. You cannot even begin to imagine the AMOUNT of damage this totally irresponsible act is doing to our environment--the long term irreversible and irrepairable damage! (and this is coming from a non-environmentalist. For crying out loud, your own people are also complaining...o.O.)

Please don't sue me...I'm pretty sure i was politcally correct. But bottomline is, are you people willing to look at the fact that your selfish, stubborn acts to preserve your own livelihood is affecting/harming/killing the very lives of millions around the world?

Tell Her This

~Del Amitri~

Tell her not to go

I aint holding on no more

Tell her something in my mind freezes up from time to time

Tell her not to cry

I just got scared thats all

Tell her Ill be by her side, all she has to do is call

Tell her the chips are down

I drank too much and shouted it aloud

Tell her something in my heart

Needs her more than even clowns need the laughter of the crowd

Tell her what was wrong

I sometimes think too much

But say nothing at all

And tell her from this high terrain, I am ready now to fall

Tell her not to go

I aint holding on no more

Tell her nothing if not this; all I want to do is kiss her

Tell her something in my mind

Freezes up from time to time.

Gave tuition to Lucas! All the best for your PSLE next week! Happy Childrens' day to you too! I owe you a gift! haha!

And bought some stuff in preparation for next week!!=)





Stars
~Swictchfoot~
Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain
I've been thinking 'bout everyone,
Everyone you looks so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars, I feel like myself
Stars looking at a planet
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe to start to wonder
How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Begin to look like home
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you looks so empty
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars, I feel like myself.
Yeah!
Everyone, Everyone feels so lonely
Everyone, yeah everyone feels so empty
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I feel like myself
When I look at the stars
The stars, I see someone...
"You never know how you really feel for that person til that person's gone...or til you no longer can show how much you care for that person, even in your subtle ways."
"Well, looks like you have perfect vision on hindsight" .........haha!
