Turn Left Turn Right

After scouting around for this movie, I finally found it at North Point in Yishun. I tried Lot1 in Choa Chu Kang and Bukit Panjang Plaza in BP, but just can't find it. So at last, I got it for S$8. Pretty cheap. And yes, i suppose it is a nice movie. Just have this good feeling about it. I like the song very much, Yu Jian, I suppose thats what they call it. It means to "meet by chance". Well, and the show is pretty touching I heard, no idea, I haven't watched it yet. It talks about 2 people who live right next to each other but have never ever met before. This is because this guy likes to turn right, and the woman likes to turn left. Well, just like parallel line, they just never meet. However, they met at a fountain, probably because the fountain is round. So they had this love at first sight experience and really got along well. Then, it rained. They quickly exchanged phone numbers and ran off, each to the direction they like to go, left, right. And sad enough, their numbers which were written on paper, was smudged. And whats left was just a few numbers. And the story goes on about how they try to find each other and like any story goes, they finally found each other. So thats basically the story but I haven't watched it yet. Oh ya, holidays is here, so happy.

A Poem To Share

I find a particular interest in this poem and would like to share it with you guys. Enjoy.

A Satirical Elegy (On the Death of a Late Famous General) by Jonathan Swift

His Grace! impossible! what, dead!

Of old age, too and in his bed!

And could that Mighty Warrior fall?

And so inglorious, after all!

Well, since he's gone, no matter how,

The last loud trump must wake him now;

And, trust me, as the noise grows stronger,

He'd wish to sleep a little longer.

And could he be indeed so old

As by the newspapers we're told?

Threescore, I think, is pretty high;

'Twas time in conscience he should die.

This world he cumbered long enough;

He burnt his candle to the snuff;

And that's the reason, some folks think,

He left behind so great a stink.

Behold his funeral appears,

Nor widow's sighs, nor orphan's tears,

Wont at such times each heart to pierce,

Attend the progress of his hearse.

But what of that, his friends may say,

He had those honors in his day.

True to his profit and his pride,

He made them weep before he died.

-

Come hither, all ye empty things,

Ye bubbles raised by breath of kings;

Who float upon the tide of state,

Come hither, and behold your fate.

Let Pride be taught by this rebuke,

How very mean a thing's a Duke;

From all his ill-got honors flung,

Turned to the dirt from whence he sprung.

The 17th Birthday

It is the 536112000th second, 8935200th minute, 148920 hour, 6205 day, and 17th year of my life. Ok, looks pretty heavy right, its just my 17th birthday. Some people say the 17h year is the sweetest year in your life. The sweet teen, or even a magazine called "Seventeen" would suggest this. But why is this so? I don't know, and I don't feel like thinking about this. Well, thats cos I am so happy today. Why? Not just cos its my birthday. Its cos people actually remember my birthday. They sent me short messages through the phone wishing me a happy birthday. And they wish my happy birthday in school. Thats just so great. Some people say its great only when you recieve presents. But I say its great when people actually remember that its your birthday. It takes effort to remember someone's birthday, ok? I mean, its hard to know this kind of joy untill you get a year when no one even remember its your birthday. Thats sad. Well, this year, a whole bunch of people remembered the date, so that really made me glad. Birthday is a day that happens only once a year, and each time you celebrate your birthday, you get older. That means from the last birthday till now, I am older by a year. I mean thats the obvious, but many people still don't realise it. They just spend their birthday like its just a normal celebration. They just see it as a day when you get good food and lots of gifts. The real meaning of a birthday is the growing up, and thats why every year, your gifts will be different. When you are like just 3 years old, people would give you little toys, or bears or whatever. When you are 17, thats a totally different thing. People would give something else like a shirt, shoe, or handphone. I mean, if someone give you a baby toy at your 17th birthday, wouldn't that be way too absurd? It would seem like a joke to you, wouldn't it? And as you get older, like reaching 60s or 80s, people would hold real expensive dinners for you, buy tonics as gifts. See the difference? I am sure you can. Well, for today, not much celebration with my friends, they wished me a happy birthday afterall. It was at night when I celebrated with my family. My sis bought me this pretty tight T-shirt... I am sure she didn't meant it to be tight, just maybe she overlooked the size. Well, my family and I had dinner then had this birthday cake and song. And thats all. Had a happier birthday than last year, I wonder what next year will be, when I am 18...

A Day Before Birthday

And its a day before my birthday and I am already feeling so very happy. This year's birthday, I suppose, is so much better and meaningful and the last year's one. Last year, if my memory does not fail me, no one even remembered my birthday except for my family members. At least my friends made it up to me by bringing me to dinner some days after. This year, quite a number of my close friends have my birthday in their mind. I am so happy. Whats better is that they actually give me present before my birthday! Heeeee, I am so glad. The first present I got was this nice cross that I could hang on my phone, reminding me that Jesus is with me always! Thanks Stephanie! And the second was a nice photoframe which I could put the happy memories that are captured on photos in! Thanks Trina! And the third was this super expensive Adidas shoe which I could wear to replace the old rugged Adidas shoe which I had been wearing for years! Thanks Zihao! Oh my, its so hard to even to even put my happiness in words. And its not even my birthday yet! Gosh, I wonder what will happen on my birthday. Already today we had this nice little meal at Billy Bombers. Heeee. And I think back my last 17 years. Well, I don't keep a diary so I basically don't have much to recall from. I can only grab hold of vague memories of when I was just in primary school and secondary school. Other memories would come from the many photos which I had taken. Memories are things that goes very fast. They come and they go. You either capture them, or you lose them forever. Thats why taking pictures is so important. And thats why a photoframe like the one Trina gave me is so important. Keeping memories will surely add much meaning to life. Haven't you taken a picture of when you were 1 years old, then 5 years old, 10 years old, 15 years old, 17 years old and compared all of them together and realised how much you have grown and you didn't even realise it? Imagine if you have n0t taken the photo at that time, wouldn't it be impossible to find out how you looked like in past and even know how much you have changed? So its always good to take up a camera and snap some meaningful memories so that these memories can be captured and be kept with you always.

Yes, I have 34 songs in my mp3 which most people will know, some are in chinese and some are in, of course, english. Today, I shall rank them up to the 10 most crazy songs! What is crazy? It cannot be defined, coz crazy is about disorientated, not straight, not normal. A crazy song could mean the rythm, the tone, the content, the beat, or whatever is crazy. Songs in my mp3 are usually not crazy, so if you find these songs not crazy enough, thats coz they are alr the most crazy ones. So let us hit into the top 10 crazy songs in my mp3!!
10- My Immortal(Evanesance): From the lyrics, I could almost feel that she is becoming crazy. Not a strong point, thats why it is number 10.
9 - Brand New World(V6): No idea, not a real crazy song, but japanese, I just can't understand.
8 - Change The World(V6): Once again, its japanese, I can't understand the language, and to change the world? Thats a little crazy to think about.
7 - Heart Of Sword(Rurouni Kenshin): And its japanese again. I really cannot understand it. And the rhythm really beats me up, thats crazy.
6 - Everybody's Changing(Keane): Ok, this is abit crazy. The guy is kinda depressed or something. And the music is like making me go through deep thoughts... brr....
5 - Lemon Tree(Fool's Garden): Ah, everybody knows this classic. The rhythm, the beat, the music is just gives me this weird feeling. Feels depressed, sad, but at the same time cheerful... just weird....
4 - Welcome To My Life(Simple Plan): "Do you ever feel like breaking down?" Thats the lyrics. Doesn't that mean crazy? The rock, the rhythm, just spices it up. Welcome to my life.
3 - Unwell(Matchbox 20): Oh my, this is my favourite. The music is just so turning you into the mood of the song. This guy is obviously paranoid. And the lyrics "I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell..." Obviously you are.
2 - Hey Ya(Outkast): This is one crazy song. The rhythm just makes me want to jump and go mad. And the lyrics just doesn't make sense! This is one crazy song, just releases all my stress.
1 - Weet Weet(A pro-guitarist who is possessed by a perverted duck): And yes, the ultimate number 1 crazy song in the world! A song with no words, crazy rhythm, crazy beat crazy everything. Listen to this straight for 1 hour and you will turn crazy. The crazy song! Discovered by Mr Huan Jian... Oh ya, i suppose you can't find a way to download this, so ask me for this song if you wan to listen by posting a comment.
A note: All songs are in my mp3 and if you want any, just post a note and ask me. Also, all comments are by me and does not represent any professional view.

My Tooth Aches

Yes, I got a toothache right now. Not a sharp pain, but this stupid feeling as if I got a bruise inside my mouth. I ain't gonna see a dentist, and will never see a dentist unless my teeth are in critical condition. The reason? I have this phobia towards the 'doctor of the mouth' ever since a very bad experience with a dentist in primary school. This dentist in primary school is extremely "not good". Ok, she made me spit mouthfuls after mouthfuls of blood. Thats sick. I hate dentists ever since. Oh well, enough crap about this. You don't have to see a dentist if you take care of your teeth and brush it well, right? And let me thank Phebe for actually reading this crap. I wonder if there are other people who reads this. And well, lets talk about what happened to me on 2 May 2005. Well, my friends and I went to Sentosa to relax, have a volleyball game and just slack around on the beach. Ok, so we went, brought along food to eat. The sun was so hot nobody needed an oven. Man, the moment I stepped barefoot on the sand, I wanted to fly away. The sand can really cook your feet. I am serious. It is extremely hot. So my friends and I basically wore slippers to play volleyball, to prevent the "cooked feet syndrome". And well, for the 1st time in my entire life, I got sunburnt. Not really serious, but it feels stupid. That healed the next day. I became very tan. A little red too. Now, my nose is starting to shed skin, no idea why though. And ok, I think thats enough. Man, I am bored...
