change
just got back from a movie with my colleagues/friends/nsfs *(delete where applicable)
the movie i watched was "dawn of the dead" and although there was a pretty actress in it i kinda felt cheated in a way that the storyline wasn't really sensible (actually most horror flicks aren't sensible) in a way that it was a-la resident evil style where the whole town is zombified and you have your usual motely crew of helpless victims trying to fend for themselves in a usual stereotyped hideout (this time a downtown mall). well in the end they all still died and ok so what if i just spoilt the suspense i think you'd be better off watching barbie or my little pony or even scooby doo considering the $7.50-$8.50 you'd spend on the movie (since i think today is friday and the weekend is near) trust me. although i do not smoke or encourage it, i think if you forked out maybe about a dollar more you'd be better off buying a pack of cigarettes and enjoying them. the movie lasts about 2 hrs. a pack of cigarettes, when well rationed can well last up to 5 days.
the week has also been pretty low profile for me as i followed my code of conduct (think smart, act blur, live longer) except for maybe one or 2 sai kang tasks to do. i also found out my friends email address so we can 'chat' during office hours using our email. life is changing quite well , considering that i'm pushing myself to do things with more effort instead of haphazardly. Well,at least i don't wake up saying "fuck. another *** no. of days to ord" (where *** is the number of days left to ord). i guess in a way ns is probably the only time where you can not worry about anything for 2 years-although risking abit of mental retardation and obeying stupid instructions-which is no different than a cow.

the genology of morals
i just finished watching Dogville on dvd albeit occassional interruptions from the show (dinner/meet friend/feed pets/tv)
and what can i say?
IT IS THE MOST APT MOVIE which sums up the top brass of my office! it really hit the nail man and i can't help
but wonder why am i feeling so elated after watching it. basically it's about :
an expensive high class gal who wanted to to get away from the cannibism of the modern world and
yes her dad is a powerful gangster chief and somehting like that
and so she 'runs away from daddy' in search of her new life forgetting to take off her rose coloured glasses
and assumming that everyone was sugar and spice and everything nice
and then she came to dogville where the people initially did not accept her as she wasn't a PR or citizen there
however in exchange for physical labour (pun intended) they agree to harbour her and slowly accepted her.
but Greed formed in all Mankind
and they asked for more.
one fine day she decided she had enough and revealed all the messed up acts which they did to her
(ok apparently almost the whole town did shit to her by overworking her and screwing her and denying everything)
and the town got panaroid and decided to turn her to the gangsters but not knowing that her daddy was actually mafia king.
she was then given the choice like the Prodigal Son in the Bible
to cut the crap and all-she went back to daddy with power restored to her
and this time evil triumps against evil (at least the lesser of 2 evils)
and she gave the town a blazing end
beautiful.
moral of the story : the world will never be a perfect place if not it would not be called the world.
the toes that you are stepping on today may well be connected to the feet and
ultimately to the ass that you will have to kiss tomorrow.
maybe i should burn a copy for my boss to watch it.
to sidetrack abit yesterday was the 2nd anniversary for my class 3 licence. nothing big but i decided to write it here not to brag but for the record.
a dogville day awaits me tomorrow. hehe

storm
it is nights like these which i yearn for the most
with an eminent storm brewing in the distance
and with the whole household asleep
i used to savour nights of tranquility and undisturbed thoughts
moments of carpe diem and seconds of calm
but they are all gone now.
this is not a stereotyped scene from an RPG nor am i sounding whimsical and writing all these in caprice
it is just me
how long is the night?
i only have an hour left.
sometimes i just want to scream ---> i've already done that
sometimes i just want to run away from it all --> that's not solving the problem
i guess the only thing that i can do right now is wait for time to pass me by
how long is the night
for a nocturnal person like me it is an eternity of Day
