..my battle stance..

Never an expert when it comes to the show, and never a big fan, though I enjoy the show. There are moments that got me sit up and take note. Like the Norman moment ;) I suppose Jim Carey or Jack Black would have loved his performance. Having said that, of course neither would have won if they take part in the show. But hey.. if I can choose between the talent of Jack Black And Clay Aiken or Cook, I will take the panda anytime. Back to Norman.. i thought he would have stood better chance if this was 'American got talent'. Well.. but knowing that he would produce that kind of performance, and that neither the judge nor the voters (I guess) would have appreciated his talent, why bother to let him reach this round? =) but i am glad he did.. because I missed his previous performances. And I truly loved what he did last night. And as Randy noted, his singing style was fun. Sure the singing experts would have criticised his style, but as my first vocal teacher, a rocker, once said, &q

if there is one thing i need now, it is to be completely broken before the Lord.. so that His grace would flow inside out. teach me once again Lord.. break my heart with what break Yours.. and let this vessel be.. a sweet sacrifice once again.

A stylish, imaginative movie where, once again, takeshi kaneshiro outshines the rest of the stuff in this movie. Though it's only CG works, but it's fun to see the Duchess, Yoko sama, flying her little plane around. just like anime. This movie reaffirms my belief that takeshi kaneshiro is indeed, the genius of asian cinema in my era. Not many good looking actors could pull off that kind of feat. One great movie after another, one great act after another.

Julia Stiles and Ginnifer Goodwin are two of my favorite Hollywood faces.. Having seen GG in that 'not into you' flick, I find myself back home.. watching Walk the Line (Johnny Cash) and realising that she also stars in this one. No wonder I find her sunshine face familiar. Because she also stars in "Monalisa Smile", along with Julia Stiles. 'not into you', in my opinion, is an almost 'very good' movie. it has too many sub-plots and some of the plots don't really fit well into the theme. but overall it's ok. not like it teaches us anything new about relationship, basically it says: 'when things don't work out.. you can always read up the rules and find some explanation. but those rules won't make things work.. neither would those knowledge bring you any closer to that one person that works.. because love is often exceptional' anyway.. Walk the Line is quite a good movie, though not my type. Johnny Cash himself is one of the most

when i was at high school, we got this gang of girls who always hang out together, five of them, and me and my friend, aryanto, call them goggle v. i am pretty sure in present time, those goggle v would have called me and aryanto, the brokeback mountain boys. coz both of us always hang out together. nus days.. it was our first youth service at nus, and out of nowhere, came two girls who seemed like sisters. at that time there was absolutely no sign of.. the possibility that they would turn out really special. from then on.. whenever we see one, we see the other. few years later, the two had become three. so we got three musketeers under one roof. i always think it's funny.. that of all possibility, the three of them would stay together. speaking of musketeers.. if any of you is old enough to remember a tv channel called.. TVRI 2, there was this very good anime on the three musketeers. actually.. the anime focuses on the fourth musketeer. whose name was mentioned in slumdog milliona

she is adorable today. so i thought =)

Three lines that I remember: 'God is good'. 'God is great'.. and 'It is written'. two of the three lines where spoken by the protagonist's brother whose character was the most interesting, in my opinion. one of those good movies that I will remember for couple of years. one of those novel-based movies that give you that 'it is great to be a writer after all' feeling.

this anxiety, is neither regret of the past, nor fear for the tomorrows. as i walk this life, i get to know more and more people, yet less and less reliable friends. so we used to think, that things would fall in place in this life. but the world has betrayed us, at any given chance. love is ever trusting? love is ever fading..

Aerith: Normal is best. I think so, at least Zack: Normal is overrated I like their conversation about being 'normal'. Well.. many of us think that we are different, while the fact is that we are all different. none of us is normal. and many of us wish that we could be 'normal'. like.. 'normally' spending the v-day with the loved one(s) ;)

In this world love has no color -- but how deeply my body is stained by yours - Izumi Shikibu - found an interesting article in strait times.. the author spoke about this interesting lady, Izumi Shikibu, a japanese poet who lived during Heian era, a century ago. i thought the poem was beautiful. and such poem, to be written by a lady of her era.. it shows how alive and different she was.. the article told us that during her time, poem writing was an essential part in courting game between man and woman. i dun think it is the case nowadays heh. but to me, it does have significant influence in whether i would be attracted to a lady or not. i am not sure if other guys operate in the same way ^^ i could be attracted to someone who has zero interest in poetry. (obviously thru her other aspect of interest) but when someone writes poems, their personality could be seen thru their writings, and that is how you tell.. whether you are into her or not. because in my humble and clueless opinion,

when i went back for hols.. i spent time contemplating.. on many stuff.. like.. i was wondering why one of my most frequently recurring dream is that of me, somehow, going back to high school. and the scenario is always the same. we are having our final exams. yeah.. not exactly a sweet dream. so i wonder.. was God trying to tell me something? like.. maybe i should make a trip back to my highschool? i planned to but i didn't in the end. or.. i thot.. maybe God is telling me that my calling is to be a teacher? i considered this scenario seriously.. coz i think i love to be a teacher. but then.. a third scenario came to mind. maybe.. God reminded me of that time.. the last time when i knew for certain, what my goals were, where i wanted to end. i knew i wanted to score as high as possible in my final exam, and i knew i wanted to get myself a scholarship. everyday i woke up knowing clearly what my goals were. in many ways, i lost that hunger when i got into NUS.. maybe partly bcoz i k
