one week
nothing much has changed.except that i watched x men 2. haha.still have the end of the trilogy to go.surprisingly, i never watch the last chapter of trilogies. for example : the matrix and lord of the rings. i watch the first two , but never the end.oh wells. i guess there's jut no closure for me.well..im broke.from the damn arcade machine in plaza sing.it had the nokia phone that both me and my brother wanted so much..but i just didn't have the cash to continue playing..paying for all that food and movie we just watched on wed.movie was just hilarious - she's the man, with added effects from the audience itself to give a more memorable experience.
this is a boring post.don't read it.if you have, too bad for wasting your own time(:
don't bother me with world cup details either.im not interested.
nights.

its only been nine days since my holidays started and its been eventful.the long awaited post of which no one will bother to read [exceptions].barbeque at david's house, sleepover at ling yi's[not much of a sleepover, felt more like just a place to sleep with friends..that sounds wrong, but you get my point] then came monday and vietnamese scholar send off.my first taste of fish and co. [and its extravegant price], but send compliments to chockie junkie. we tooke amusement to going back and forth on the skytrain, i must say that i feel a tad left out when hanging out with this bunch of people. i just don't share the same sentiments. then comes tuesday and training.and off to karen's house. and my mum thinks im 'running away ' too much. im not even going out that much. definately more than the school term.but HELLO..this is my holiday. and you expect me to STUDY. bloody hell i wont.i've already agreed to go for tuition but at least let me live my holidays my way. back to the holidays. wed was gracee's migration.went to the airport in the morning, met most of them on the train. looking at what everyone did for her is just so touching.too bad i'll never have such close friends. its just so touching when she left..everyone there cried.including me.except the guys that is.but it'll never happen to me.as in all these scenes of airport sendoffs. had nats u18 selections under the morbid sun after that, mostly friendlies with each other. and im going for u18 selections and not u16. how much more attention grabbing can this get? consider the pressure too.then comes thursday.where i was supposed to go out queensway shopping with geok and karen and si ya, but two bailed so karen and i rather not go on a date. instead i went for bloody tuition [not that i hate the tuition centre, but the nostalgic memories of it, and how i tried many times to get out of it, but always went back], and morgan laura sophia and vineeta wasn't there.thank roslyn for going. i still can't spell her name right.i think. and two new students came in. all i did was bloody indices too.friday training with guys, aaron's hideous blue streak[or green], shopping with karen, ling yi, wei ling, michelle and aleee was great fun. its a different kind of shopping i can say - window shopping, cept that i bought a reebok duffel for 50 bucks.the kind of stuff they look at is just a different genre and perspective i feel older - just like them. how a jc environment makes you grow up faster. i'll never experiance a proper sec 3 and 4 life..especially the prom.
i am officially exhausted from yesterday.in detail of njoac first adventure challenge, we started off in tampines [and i thought is was spelt tampenis not a while ago] sun plaza park. and some bloody pattern picture was our first clue to ubin.we lucked out on this one. somehow, althought the seniors took the same bus as us, when we got to the jetty, they vanished...apparently they took an earlier boat, which was quite weird as there was a queue for it. but anyway, we had to hitch hike first which was quite long, missed the road up the hill twice, but when we went up, its was freaking hell a long way up, and a narrow one too.back down, back to the jetty and we had to cycle, took a wrong route once, which made us go a huge round and back to some hut we came before, and the bloody route was UPHILL. and the route we were supposed to take had a bloody barrier, what message dies a barrier give??so off ubin we go to changi and to yishun. somehow we took longer than most people travelling so we lost the lead. anyway, ever heard of sembawang hotsprings? they made us stick our foot into at least 70-80 degrees celcius hot water with an egg in the tub, and estimate the time it will be cooked hard boiled. apperantly i gave a short timing of 5 mins, which killed my leg, but the penalty was rather fast and easy, but we lost the lead cos we couldn't solve the clue.anyway, off to toa payoh for a 40 storey climb up a block..40 storeys of stairs....up and down. it wasn't that bad actually.then off to macritchie for kayaking quite a good arm workout...and it was fun in the water. off to bishan fire station for abseiling down 6 storeys...rope burn through gloves.then to tekka food centre...where we left matthrew sleeping on the bus when we alighted.quite hilarious. and had to eat chili padi at that station.im glad for my swallowing skills. then to acs barker where ez link cards are confiscated, and a walk back to njc....we took at least 45 mins i think...i didn't check the time.oh wells. we were one of the last few to arrive. but i guess i enjoyed it.
enough of my life and on to others. inspiration from amy jenkins's funny valentine.
today's topic: fame , popularity and society - i may sound contradicting
you know how celebrities are like hounded by the media, fans drooling over actors or actresses, they are paid filthy rich just to do a show, their provacy invaded, as if they're like god. but what makes them different from us?normal beings? just because they act in front of a camera as another person - a FAKE person, if they do a good job, they are treated specially to go to posh hotels, eat great food, wear branded goods, and have the paparazzi on them.they are just doing their jobs - the actors. other people do their jobs too...and some even require more work than talking and smiling and crying in front of the camera, but why the hell are they paid millions for that? paparazzi only have jobs because of fans.fans - they follow every lead that they can have over their idol, like they have nothing else better to do than read marraiges and divorces, or that their idols have gotten cancer. what happens to the popular people's lives are just another person's life...why do you want to know what happens in another's life. mind your on business dude. if a road sweeper became a celebrity too..you would be reading about his life all the time? ROAD SWEEPING.ITS A VERY INTERESTING JOB. fans are probably very sadistic people - who find scoop on their idol and laugh at it. they need something to laugh at , no SOMEONE to laugh at just because there's no fun laughing at the up and downs of their own pathetic lives. and if they laugh at their friends, they know they'll get slapped. so why not laugh at a stranger? and so they want to find more stuff to critisize and laugh at that they dig everything out of the actor . sucking them dry.and then they get jealous and start plotting more stuff to laugh at them and make lives miserable.
all this is just a big scandal of society's sick perspection that people are more equal than others. if they don't think that the actors are that big, they won't get the money and the fame, they'll just be normal people doing their jobs, and civilians won't have to thnk thoughts of 'why can't i be rich and famous like that XXXXXX who is sooo hot and privileged. why am i living this pathetic life living in this scum house.'everyone would be happy, the money given to the entertainers would be more useful in preventing poverty, they would be happy too getting to keep their privacy, the economy would be so far apart in terms of the rich and poor, there would be equity. balance.less suffering...and god maybe nice enough to stop earthquakes and hurricanes and disasters as such.[if there was a god that is, and no offence to people who believe in gods, because i don't believe in one] science have proven that all this is natural already though, so it's not really possible to stop the disasters. but imagine a hurricane or earthquake coming to make all celebrities extict..but that would make the paparazzi out of a job, and then they'll find someone else to hound..normal people..and they become famous too..and the whole cycle begins again..it'll never end.so what's the point of this debate? kill the paparazzi and tabloids first. brainwash people back to normal. it'll never happen though.
hope you had fun reading. any disagreements or comments feel free to email me or flood my tagboard.
