i once read a book in which the protagonist was made to pick out ten words in the english language she thought were most beautiful. or meant the most to her. and if set the assignment, i wouldn't be able to choose a single word, bcoz i think words mean so much more when strung together. one sole word can only have connotations, but it lacks depth, lacks the untold stories implied behind a phrase, or a line. hmm possibly pretty, but incomparable when it comes to expressing a multitude of emotions. although i personally would not be able to make my choice, i believe each person's selection speaks a lot about their experiences.

i think i'm confused. it's easy to make decisions when one's principles are threatened, but much more complicated when the principles in question aren't yours. what if by imposing your opinion on others, yu end up infringing their right to make decisions? and if someone's morals were different from yours, who are yu to decide that they are bad? hmm. are yu neglecting your own principles by choosing not to interfere with others'? questionsquestions. i need some boundaries to be defined.

i like watching pple doing silly things for other pple haha. bcoz it's funny. especially during the festive season and end of year, most pple start becoming queer. and they begin to lose the self restraint they have during the rest of the year. lololol and then yu start to see pple doing blatantly sweet things for others. which make spectators feel all warm and fuzzy inside. haha despite the comicality. and yu feel so all-seeing and all-knowing bcoz yu know what is happening even before they do. muahahaha.

and so i bought the cranberries cd. actually recognised many of the songs even though i previously didn't know that they were done by them. liked teh voice, liked the music, didn't like the words. but i guess she can't possibly be singing empty sounds, so the words will have to do.

phantom of the opera. any comments i would make on the show would be frivolous anyway, so it's best not to inject my humble opinion. not saying that the show was bad, just comment-free.
to guide and to guard. hmm. wonderful how a simple line can mean so much.

i wonder how much respect intelligence deserves. i suppose judging a person by his intelligence would be about as superficial as judging by appearances, since both are what yu're born with, and it's not a matter of choice whether yu're exceptionally good-looking or intelligent. it is highly possible for someone to be clever and yet arrogant, and even more likely that his intelligence makes him feel superior to others. intelligence is not a quality, but more of an attribute, and i guess virtues such as being compassionate and kind are much more deserving of respect.
yet to me i think it's somewhat inevitable that we have a tendency to value intelligence over everything else. in terms of physical strength and abilities, there are always other creatures that can run faster, jump higher, see better and so on. but our mind is a tool we've made use of to put us at the top of the food chain. so technically, intelligence is not something we should take lightly either. it could be most dangerous when put in the wrong hands, and since people respect power, it is probably natural that they respect intelligence too.
in one of my fave books, Dak Hamee pointed out one of Aldrea's flaws, which was to hold the enemy in higher regard than their allies, for the enemy's intelligence posed a threat to them, whereas their allies were not as well-equipped. don't we do that all the time? disregard other qualities that are worthier of respect, and instead choose to judge one by his mental calibre. i must admit that i'm guilty of doing so too. which explains my fascination with books on psycho-killers lolololol. can't help being intrigued by hannibal's ability to manipulate someone's mind till he swallowed his own tongue.

i think i like bubbles for their transience. pretty little swirls of colour that exist for only a brief glorious moment. and how they can never be captured or their existence prolonged for more than what was meant to be. people have tried to modify them in an attempt to make them less fragile, creating those whatchacallit artificial bubbles which land on hair and faces and everything else. but these dont have the shine that normal bubbles do, and upon attaching themselves to a surface, shrivel up till all tt's left is a sticky residue. while the usual bubbles leave not a trace of their presence. isn't the unpredictability and impermanence the main appeal of bubbles? so why do pple persist in trying to retain the beauty in things that can only be found there and then?

i wonder what it's like to live in a caravan. when yu're not rooted by physical location or bound by complicated restrictions that each society invariably imposes on each of us. i suppose the liberation should be more than enough to substitute the loss of the sense of belonging and security, when everything yu own in the world is compacted into that mobile caravan of yours, ready for yu to pick up and go any moment yu wish. and with the constant change of environment, yu are defined more by your future than your past, for your past becomes increasingly insignificant with the endless possibilities that await ahead. yu're no longer tied down by memories, as they become no more than distant impressions on yu and yu're not compelled to keep in touch with them. and when things get messy yu can just trundle off in your little caravan.

hmm. thailand was ok. haha. strangely enough there seems to be a greater variety of thai food in singapore than in thailand itself. lol. parasailing was cool but way too short. the sea there was gorgeous though, jade coloured with the foamy parts pure white.
and i dont believe that i'm not yet 18. was all set for alexander and when i get to the cinema i see the horrifying m18 sign there. bahh. i shall get in anyway. phantom of the opera and finding neverland had better not be rated something stoopid.
