there's something wrong with blogger!!!!

I WAS APPROACHED BY STUPID, TACTLESS EVANGELICALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EURGH!!

what were they thinking? i mean. the fact that i told them i was muslim would make people think that it's enough to stop their probe... but NO they persisted on the intent to "enlighten" me. honey, i've got no problem with xtianity and catholicism, believe me i dun.. i was from a good god damn catholic education system before i stepped into secular school in jc!! so i hope you all dun take any offence.. but i'm very pissed at evangelical. i respect all religion. to me, we shud all co exist vis-a-vis other religions. why must you persist on "enlightening" me? i dun find your preachings appealing or enlightening. in fact i find that down right insulting. i have many xtian friends and catholic friends, in fact i'm much more comfortable ard my non-muslim friends. but this is downright despicable. i'm sorry. but i'm in a fucked up mood. just spoilt my whole day of shopping... thanks!

evangelicals. i dun tink your religion is any better than mine or any better than other religion. what makes you think it is? go away. you shud live in a cave. i mean who goes ard preaching abt your own religion. to be converted or to be "enlightened" one must achieve that on his or her own. not thru you.. you dun speak god's words. if john donne had taught me anything.. it's god that gives grce for enlightenment not humans. duhn ever approach me again. i'll show you the true bitch. my friends were asking me why i was so polite to you. i shud have given you a piece of my mind. but i refrained. MY religion do not teach me to do that.

evangelicals. heh. whateva!

i've been hyper lazy to blog these few days.. i just wanna go out and watch movie and blah... met ms kwan a couple of times outside since A levels ended. saw daniel chung entering cali fitness. saw hasim ard town 20million times.

ok i guess it's time i write abt grad, eh? tho it's a tad late.. but here it is.

And so this is prom: spending up to $200 bucks just to look good for a single night lasting all of 5 hours. many would exclaim that it's normal. but for a guy... that's a lot of money spent! And it strikes me that this is the last time in our lives together as a cohort, but we are so caught up in capturing these fleeting moments on camera that we forget to capture the moment in our hearts, to remember these people that have been so much a part of our lives for the past 2 years, to spend our last few moments together saying goodbye, remembering, reminiscing. I now have a memory of the person's face to keep with me, but no memory of the person, and who he or she was. Because I realise that 20 years later, my prom, this prom, will just end up being a stack of pictures in a yellowing photo album, of The Day I Spent close to $200 To Dress Up To Take Some Pictures.

Perhaps that was why I was half inclined not to bring a camera - because I didn't want to remember my prom in snapshots, because I knew, somehow, that my prom would become the snapshots and that anything I forgot to record will be lost. Bitter? maybe, but I guess I really am just a hopelessly sentimental old fool who cannot help feeling this way, feeling as if life is passing me by way too fast, that all the golden moments have gone. That I was losing my last chance to live for the beauty of the present with these people I loved, because I was too busy trying to capture it in muted colours that would never be able to fully remind me of their real vibrance. Too busy letting each moment flit by to become forgotten fragments of a yesterday that went too soon.

Sentimental fool aside, though, I suppose, all the same, that it was fun fussing over these entirely frivolous matters
There are many, however, whom I will not have trouble remembering even without the photos. And so to those whose faces and shared memories are imprinted in my heart, to those who made my life so worth living, thank you. Words can only say that much. i'll miss you so. but we shall always be close!
