Death and despair

I've just woken from a long long nap. Why sleep until 2? Haha.. well, I've been over at Ivan's grandpa's wake the whole night.

It was a relatively simple affair.. I suppose its not the day where you have rites to finish the procedure. I'm not sure.. I didn't think so. Well anyway I went there alone, cos a few people I tried inviting couldn't make it, but then not everyone is slacking like me. Hahaha... OK, I understand u guys r busy so not yr fault.
So basically it was a weird arrangement in the end... Samuel came late and brought Joyce along- another xd which I still dunno, haha - and we play dai dee until we happy :P. Ate dinner, talk cock, sing song, wait until Auga + Dfoo come REALLY EARLY ( took them abt 2 hrs after Dfoo first said 10 mins then reach - which ended up abt 10+) and then Sebrina also came. So we continue talk cock sing song play retarded card games, and other retarded orientation games, and of course there was this fun game wiv cards, where you draw a card and can create various forfeits for diff cards... in the end we made the penalty peanuts and Daniel Foo ate most of them. Poor thing... muahahahah ... serve him right for telling us 10 mins ONLY??????
BUT we weren't finished... later he also drink until siao.. I tink 2 full cans of beer ah? Hahaha!! All cos of Indian poker... then Joyce left early and Seb also. ( that is, if u call 1pm early)
Then I see them play mahjong ( lim peh dunno how 2 play mahjong so watch lor~~) and then we play other retarded games until dinner. Had fun lah basically... then go home sleep in MRT and pong in bed. Most exciting part of my life. Haha..

Now let's talk about more serious stuff.

I had a chat with one of Ivan's cousins that day. I'm not gg 2 say his name. If u wan u can ask Ivan, but doesn't matter. He said that he slept next to the grandfather every night, before the man .... left . ( 7th month ok.. dun anyhow say things) He said he could not sleep anymore, not for more than an hour. He still believed, somehow, that the grandfather was still around.. he could't accept the idea that the old man wasn't here anymore. He said that he really regretted that he did not like to talk to his grandfather a lot... at least, now he feels he didn't talk enough to the old man. And even when he passed away, the boy ( yes hes not tt old) thought he was still sleeping...cos somehow, he was in the same position as when he usually sleeps. The boy reflected that you have to cherish the ones you have before you, before they leave.... and you never get the chance again.

Well... in the light of all that, I guess he does have a point. Naturally he's sad... especially when, as he says, the old man used to claim that he loved him more than all the other grandsons. It seems quite obvious, seeing as how the grandfather himself slept in the same room as him... or was it the same house? I dunno... I din tink it relevant to ask. Ivan wasn't so depressed ( at least according to what I saw) but of course he was sad. If he didn't feel sad, that would be odd, maybe even unfilial. After all, he's human. And from what I hear, he was a nice old man.. and a great grandfather.

So ok, lesson to be learnt... treasure those you love, and those who love you. You may not be able to see them at some time... maybe for a long time, maybe forever. It's sad, but that's life. If we come into this world, then we must leave at some time. We should cherish and hold them, show them how we feel, tell them all we want to tell them. For not only is their time limited but ours too.... and especially look out for your family. Often we forget our family, in the rush to meet new friends, socialise, we forget the people who love us the most. We take them for granted, and we let them pass.. soon enough it might be too late for regrets.
Somehow, though I tell that to people, I wonder, can I actually do that? Truly develop some filial piety for all I've forgotten so far? I'm not sure... I think I might have gone into cold dark stasis, into a mindset where I just can't love my family anymore. But I will try... and so should we all.

And if it really is too late to say goodbye, to say " I love you" or to cherish the one who loved you, then if you really cherish their memory, you should go forth and do your best. You say you have disappointed them by not using your potential? Do it then. In their memory, live well, be strong, live on. I believe that even the ... people who have "passed on" can see us, the living, in our entirety. Whether or not they can actually do something is a mystery we are still exploring.
But if they can see you, then work hard for your dreams, for your life. Be happy and well, and show them what you can do. Do not simply break into despair... it would break their hearts as much as yours, and even those with you who love you. Cherish those who have not gone, and in the memory of those who have, strive on and live your life to the fullest.

I saw the sky this morning, when I returned on the morning MRT. It was a beautiful dawn, and I thought.. even when you have gone through the darkest of days, you see such a sky, and you forget all that you have worried about.....

HAPPY BELATED NATIONAL DAY EVERYONE!!!

Hello hello everyone.. I've just realised I haven't put anything up for the greatest annual event in SIngapore... which is to celebrate the existence of Singapore itself!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!! How old are we now? 41? Wow... tts.. actually not that old, come to think of it... Oh wait! No its to celebrate our independence!! After years of serving different masters ( first the Brits then the Japs and then back to the friendly old Brits... tea anyone? ) we were finally free on 9 Aug 1965!!! So that's the history of our beloved Singapore, for anyone who hasn't already memorised the facts.

So to celebrate this momentous day ( which I'm at least 4 days late for :P) here's the lyrics of the latest song for all Singaporeans to be sick of!!

MY ISLAND HOME sung by Kaira Gong , developed by Joshua Wen


This is my home
She's everything to me
Grace and beauty
In all that you see
My island home

Wherever I may be
I never will forget her
Nor will she forget me

Chorus ^
And I will sing
A song of home
A land of peace
Where dreams are born everyday
My home
Wherever I may be
I belie~ve ( drag the e)
You will always be a part of me

^ My island home
Home of my family
This is my future
Where I want to be
(This is my future
This is my home)

Repeat Chorus x 2

My home
Wherever I may be
I believe
You will always be a part of me
A part of me


Hmm.. I'll see if I can post this song up for anyone to hear once I figure how to permanently put music up on my page... meanwhile the rest of Singapore can prob remember how this stuff is sung so go ahead and sing!!!
Hahaha.. I guess it was another momentous mark in Singapore history.. a great day of celebration for most anyway. I spent the whole day at home myself... haha.. see it on TV lor. Me n my sad little life... BUT WHO CARES ITS NATIONAL DAY!!! Oh hey I missed all the fireworks too... but I did see the one on the day itself!! ( On TV)
We should all cherish that we are all part of Singapore, whether or not we are citizens or just are here.. cos it is a beautiful place, not say better than other countries because every one has its ups and downs, but for a tiny island nation we are lovely. Certainly if I wanted to point out our problems we have many- too little space to advance, stuck-up people, a culture of exaggeration, rumoured political problems, etc etc. But there is this peace that we have, that even foriegners may envy. No wars, no mass murders, no rampant drugs and robbery and madness. And much more. So honestly, at least for the week, we should appreciate the loveliness of our island home.

MAJULAH SINGAPURA!!!!!!!

WARNING : DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME

Yes that's the sign they put up for dangerous stunts that are performed on TV. Like you know, wrestling, action scenes, even some martial arts shows. And of course stunt drivers!! Such stunts are risky even for the well-trained and is absolutely forbidden to rookies, because they might just hurt themselves badly or ..... worse.

Why am I talking about this? Simple.... I think they should place these warnings at other programmes too. Like with models. There are already too many cases where girls, obsessed with achieving the look of a model, have gone anorexic, starved themselves half to death, or even taken drugs which instead of helping have poisoned them. I really think they should use warning signs like these to warn people of the dangers of following these trends. These models have achieved their looks through years of training, dieting, etc etc.... its not instant and it is always done with the guidance of professionals. Just like with wrestling. Honestly, it's not healthy to try to keep up with them. Or ok, its not exactly impossible to achieve that look... so maybe it should be a disclaimer that goes..
" WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME UNLESS ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS. MODELS HAVE BEEN TRAINED AND GOOMED WITH THE CARE OF PROFESSIONALS..... IT IS NOT ADVISABLE TO ATTEMPT THEIR FIGURE FOR FEAR OF PERSONAL SAFETY. ( PS: Unemployed professional available for the job. Flexible with pay, working hours. Results may or may not work, but you have a better chance. Call********* for enquiries) "


OK there... models. Who else? Ah yes... actors. People should have dislcaimers for actors too. Yes, they do have those for action stars... but what about the others? Actors whose actions will compromise public safety... mainly those who flaunt their sexuality too openly in the public, thus causing road accidents, lockjaw, excessive drooling, and maybe even stampedes. And we certainly would not like to see people stripping in public just like that. ( OK, maybe we'd like 2 see some people do that i guess.. but look at the long term view!!!)
Oh, and actors with questionable fashion sense. LIke say, the charismatic Johnny Depp. I have to admit that he's a great actor, and he pulls off any of his roles with excellent depth and gusto, but he tends to take on strange characters who would be quite odd with normal society. Take our friend Capt Jack Sparrow. OK, so as a rocker he would fit in. But to the millions of fans out there who arent rockers, they might still try to imitate him. Which can result in true image disasters. Take this for example..


AAAHHHHHH!!!!!! ( ok the flower was unneccesary but we decided it adds a...nice touch :P)

REN YAOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or maybe it had more to do with my friend's fashion sense? LIke wearing a bright green shirt to go with the eyeshadow? Either way... its a reminder of the horrible things that can happen when you follow trends without professional consultancy. BE WARNED!!!! NOT EVERYONE CAN LOOK GOOD WITH SIMILAR CHANGES TO APPEARANCE!!! Especially if you are not exactly a Johnny Depp lookalike. ( Personally I think he can pull off any appearance he wants and make it look cool... while the rest of us look like fools.. how unfair life is )

Ok, what else is there? I'm not sure... basically dun just blindly follow what you see on TV or movies, or even on performances. It's not wise and sometimes it can be lethal.. either to your health or your social life or even your ego. And above all before you guys put on makeup, SEEK ADVICE FROM OTHERS- others who of course know how to put on makeup, especially if its a guy friend who has done it before, and preferably not out to sabo you.
