beckham took the kick and off it sailed over the post. "WA! he should play rugby!" a friend commented.

today at rugby, some buff dude came up and i was lying on the grass without my shirt and he looked at me and said "cute face." and i said "oh ok." and he said "you like boy or girl?" and now i;m seriously reconsidering if i'm as open minded as i thought i was with regard to alternative lifestyles. whatever floats your boat, but don't rock mine baby.

'... and they lived happily ever after.' and mom would close the leather bound book, kiss your forehead and pull the sheets. then, she'd get up from your bedside and switch the lights off and as she leaves your room she'll poke her head through the closing door like an Acme cartoon ending and tell you good night.

and so we sleep with the memory of cinderella, pinocchio or whatever spectre of childhood wonderment still fresh and it takes life in our dreams and soon enough by the time we're 7 or 8 or 9, we can't seperate fact from fiction and we think that Ever After applies to life.

Ever after, the notion happiness from that point onwards toward infinity (and beyond). what a lark! I'm not a cynic, mind you. Ever After can and does exist, but it comes with a hell lot of clauses and fine print sneakier than a shady car dealer/handphone ad.

Childrens Fairy Tales and story books should come with disclaimers, or should be a hell lot more realistic. cinderella has to slave and raise 3 brats and her prince is fucking snow white on the side and the seven dwarfs, out of work, turn to the midget porn industry.

Many a times, i feel, people confused the concept of 'fondly remember' with 'miss'. For instance, i fondly remember BMT, but no, i do not miss it. see the difference? its simple really. so it really gets to me when, well ok this gets personal, when X says that he misses stand by bed, fuck you X. you may fondly remember it at best and that still makes you fucked up. and if you miss it so much, i'd be glad to ride up your ass about keeping your personal area neat.

Personally, i fondly remember JC, or parts of it at least, miss sec 4, and am torn between hating, fondly remembering and missing rugby. i do miss emily. where are you? off to canada and poof thats that. i fondly remember martin. and the list goes on.

To further back up my case that China PRC are really awfully screwed up, but this time in a nice way, theres this guy called Zeda in my bunk, really into investing and all that what with reading 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' and the likes. While reading 'Who stole my money?' one night, he turned to us with a confused expression on his face and asked-
"Who is Mother Nature? I know Mother Theresa but i dunno mother nature..." "ohhhhhh.... so is there a father nature?"
and after finishing his book i asked him- "so WHO did steal your money?"
and he thought about it.

"i still dunno⁄!" Taiwan sucks and free Tibet man.

ORD now 2 months earlier. yay!

by gods twisted sense of humour, irony and plain mean jokes, we got kachang today for snacks during NDP practice (i don't know how to spell rehersal), as if to say yes, as NSF, we do get paid peanuts. even sadder since its so literal.

sex and the city will finally be screened in singapore. after practically everyone has downloaded and watched it off the net. and they will only screen season 4 and 5. and it will still be subject to censorship.

sometimes, when you read things like this, you just wanna thwack yourself on your forehead...

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!/ The world forgetting, by the world forgot./ Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!/ Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd

and with that quote i declare Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind my favourite movie until the next show i watch. 'you have been erased from someone's memory'. what a concept. both ways. having your memory erased, and having someone's memory of you erased, both sides of the same coin. after all, what are we but concepts and thoughts and a projection of our personality and so if there's nothing to project to then whats left of us? this brings to mind an memory from a few years back.

-history-
Roger is a guy from ACS barker primary who was a bit nuts. He idolized hitler and during recess would send me on missions to assasinate the principal or who naught and no this was no child-game for him and he took the whole business very seriously. sometime in primary 5 i think he just disappeared. just stopped coming to school. no one knew where he went and no one was old enough to care and we went on with our carefree primary school life eating canteen food and playing police and thief and all the assorted trappings.
-end history-

few years back, i was browsing around MPH bookstore when no and behold i saw him!
"Roger! hey! remember me? lennard!"
"Lennard? what is this? who is this? no!! no!!" and he clutched at his head and scrunced his face and waved his hand and had a dreamy look in his eye. he had a caretaker with him and she promptly shoo-ed me away and told me never to talk or bother him again and it was an altogether very disorienting experience but no i didn't feel sorry for him but i am sorry that he will never remember me, insignificant as it may be.

i fondly remember him.

Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders. and when Mary (Kirsten Dunst) said that i thought of firstly him, and then myself.

and then the movie also brings to mind the concept of 'the one'. no i'm not talking about the jet li corn-ball sci-fi thrash flick, but about a notion old as time about soulmates, about two people made just for each other, fitting each other snugly like adjacent puzzle pieces. Homer and Marge come close. do i believe that we've a special someone out there? honestly, no i don't, but i think there definately are people who are better suited for each other. joan's post mentioned that monogomy is dead and how different people complete different aspects of our being and i say all those in favour, say aye.

aye.

and. and i am glad that jim carrey is started to flex his thespian muscles. first Man on The Moon, which was under-appreciated, then The Truman Show, which was excellent, and The Majestic, which was severely under-rated. now this, Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Oh joy, oh joyful elation, i'll jump in the air and click my heels for him. if you could buy hollywoodstar stocks, i say buybuybuybuy jim carrey. Bigger things to come and i for one eagerly anticipate with baited breath.

again i say why can't soap be moisturizing, anti-bacterial, mild and refreshing, all-in-one?! is it so hard to do? why must it be always an either/or choice.

i fear my bodyclock has given in to regimentation... now even on my book out days i'm sleepy by 10 and awake by 6. i want my unhealthy lifestyle back! and i've started playing magic... any magic players out there? i wanna play!
