Remember ... hope is a good thing...

We can live to die, or die to live. There is always a choice.

I have had a rather interesting week. National Day 39 and et all. It irritates me that my lecture group for Intro to Biz and Management will be behind teh rest of the students taking the same subject due to that holiday we all had on monday. Oh well...what to do~ Maybe if we're lucky, Mr Nageb will do an extra lecture with us so that we will not be behind time.

Having a new computer is a life changing experience. As i have mentioned before, my previous pc belonged in the 19th century...as such, i find the speed of the new computer very 'un-natural'...i guess i will have to get used to it....muah hahaha....

Singapore Idol is a force to be reckon with.
It shows that societies all over the world have people that belong in the same catagories. Namely the good, the bad and the really can not make it be refuse to accept reality. Its the people in the first and last groups that make the show worth watching. We all get a kick out of watching dreamers go on infront of the camera and make total bambinos of themselves. Those of us who know them personally might end up having to sever ties with them or resort to wearing a paperbag on our heads when we go out with them. The fact that Singapore is sooooo bloody small makes all things worse ... i have a feeling that those who are very sensitive might end up becoming hermits. Don't get me wrong, the whole idea of taping on Singapore's only natural resourse for entertainment is a good idea, but once again, Singapore being soooooooo bloody small, i have a sinking feeling that the future idol to be crowned will probably not be a resident of our island nation.

I've fallen in love with "Vindicated'!
I just donno why that darn song keeps going through my head...its like a 'not so lost cause' it kindaa reminds me that there's still hope...haha...donno lah~ Actually while i was in Perth, i got hooked onto Jet and Black Eyed Peas...alamak~

I just watched a programme on the Olympics. What makes it totally awesome this time round is that i have visited Athens! I visited Turkey and Greece when i was in Primary 5 with my elder Aunt and her friends. I had a very good time. Sadly the peaceful environment i experienced in Turkey has been disruted by the natural and man-made disasters of late. I would love to go back and visit though...
Anyway! Back to Athens! Have u seen that comercial where there are lots of kids running with flags of all nations...they are taken running toward the cameras in a particular stadium. Weelllll, i've been in that very stadium. Honestly, it ain't all that big at all. Haha, but its the history of the lace that's breath taking. There are statues of greekmen in sports positions all over the city and they are kept in very good condition. Yes, they are all sculptures of naked men. :P Very well toned naked men i might add. :p
Anyway, i went all over the city and i have proof in my photos that i have even been to the Greek temples. The ruins i was blessed to view have that all that history behind them and you have no choice but to stare in awe of the long way man has come to reach this day. The Olympics 2004 is the biggest sporting event so far, yet to be eclipsed by the Beijing games in 2008..but whatever it is, i am proud to have been able to touch the place which many Singaporeans will be watching on MediaCorp for the next 14 days.
Overall, i feel that the games are a symbol of peace, unity, strength, commitment, pride and most of all hope. Remember... Hope is a good thing. :)

Cheers!
