oh i forgot to mention : the soundtrack rocks..!

on a lighter note..

About a Boy.. watch it those who have yet to, whether u hate or adore Hugh Grant, watch it for the story, for the lessons, for the reality of it. Nick Hornby has never exactly been my fav writer, but after this, i'm utterly converted. i'm off the get the book and the vcd =)

hmm.. in actual fact ive been mulling for a long time over whether to get or not to get the bk... well i guess now i know my way =) haha..nite.

Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Dylan Thomas

Which LOTR elf are you?
Which LOTR character are you?

drought! drought! argh blog drought. my brain's too dead.. all i seem to be able to come up with are one-liners. *pish* ah well.. ok i'm feeling rebellious today. i have absolutely no inclination to do any work at all!! there! and i'm feeling happy with that too! =)

perhaps its due to a v v treasured present i just received. to those out there who've ever heard of "The Flight of Dragons", "The Last Unicorn", "The Camel Boy", "The Secret of NIMH" drop me a line on my tagboard yes? i would love to know other pple, other than myself who've heard, read, watched these =)

to sound more coherent: i watched a slice of my childhood today.. and i cried at the end. what i've been dreaming and pining to hold ever since i was 5 was finally finally after 16yrs in my hands. who cares if it is a vhs tape.. (i can always convert it into vcd).. no that didn't matter. what mattered the most was i actually physically owned it now!

for any who grew up on fairytales and fantasy this is a gem beside the treasure that is "The Lord of the Rings". "The Flight of Dragons" is simple yet poignant, heartfelt, and real, honest fantasy at its best. What was even better was i remembered every, single scene, the dialoge was but an echo of all that i remembered in my head. each scene, the music, the voices were exactly as i remembered them...similarly, my sis and i can remember every detail in "The Last Unicorn".. we watched them both that many times.

all thanks to a certain special one in the US right now =)

my children will see these cartoons, and hopefully so will my grandchildren. these are the cartoons kids shld grown up with. not power rangers, pokemon... they don't make cartoons like they used to nowadays... a toast to the old and the past...

dont you feel like a bug sometimes? a teeny weeny bug scuttling ard in the frenzy called life...?

6.9.02

they are no longer with us!!!... how staggering is that thought...

ok i need to stop this.. i am looking at all their faces and crying.. i shld go to sleep...

inspiration is lacking... the past few entries have been so banal. anyway have lots on my mind to think abt. gotta put the coming wk in good perspective - what am i going to do? actually ive already written up little lists of "things to get done" > shakespeare, brit comedy, german and html...

and still i feel clueless, directionless. hmm.. seems like the only things i feel fixed abt are watching abt a boy, lilo n stitch and swimming! yes good old swimming (geschwommen in the present perfect in german.. interesting isnt it? im quite fascinated with it) ... speaking of swimming. wanying dear if u see this let me know when u'll like to swim k?

perspective, direction, order, meaning... dearth..

damn 9/11 does not help! why do we torture ourselves by re-watching it? fascinating, unbelievable yet terribly distressing. 48hrs ran a special on firefighters.. ...

hmm interesting.. all the firefighters murdered on 9/11.. strongly worded, but... check it out, i guess...

5.9.02

the german test was a shocker. nothing any one of us cld have possibly imagined... *sigh* talk abt making us think ...

they're running documentaries/commentaries till 11/9 or if u must have it the american way 9/11.
i cried while watching it then, i cried and will cry when watching it now...

the ones who really got to me and still does, are the firefighters, policemen and those who went back in to save others...
the ones on board the flights who must have in those sickening moments felt utterly helpless...
the ones on UA 93 who knew what they had to do.. to save others...

i dont think these tears will ever end...

3.9.02

*hugs* cutes things.. dont be upset.. it takes time.. some time to get back on track, to regrease ur wheels =) its happens to all the guys.. u'll be fine, eventually =)) java lab? no wonder u went MIA =) just drop me a note like that if u're busy ok? i'm busy too soo...

have fun in sch k?

ok ive been a slob.. pple have been reading my blog but i havent been reading theirs! forgive me!!... sigh...

u know dear, u mentioned something (in relation to a few of my 'recen't entries) that we've got to find something, a spark that'll ignite our zest for life again.. i was just abt to blog something abt it 2 days ago.. (but didn't.. like i never blogged lots of things i've thought abt... double sigh)... thing is/was i was going to write something like this :

somewhere in the murky darkness and gloom that life can exist in, sometimes you find a small spark of life, a small glow and suddenly you smile ...

well apparently i was feeling that way, 2 days ago, but not now.. and i suppose when the moment's lost its gone and its no pt writing it down.. sometimes.. sigh.. anyway lets all con't our quest for that one little spark..

1.9.02

confidence is the key.. uncertainty/self-doubt/ennui... the locked door

thing is.. does the key fit?

( give me back inspiration for lit!!!!!!! )

one wk of hectic scrambling is over (!) .. another is just beginning. BUT.. impt thing is i'm actually, finally done with my first html assignment! take a look if u care... the ozone hole ..

took waaaaaayyyyy toooo long to get done... i really hope the next 2 assignments will be easier going, since i'm now niftier at photoshop and first page ... =)

right.. now to start on german .. i'm so lagging behind on everything.. *sigh* thank god for swimming, thank god for making water sssoooo beautiful and *big hug* thank you wanying =) wouldn't know what to do without my swimming 'kaki' =)

so toodle loo for now..
