[ [nothing really matters] ]
-Sunday, November 27, 2005-

nothing really matters anymore. it does not.
okay so i have been somehow "affected" by sam the ham to think of five random facts about myself. honestly i do not know whether there are five random facts about myself or not. ok for starters, i could say that my penchant for getting cds are no longer a penchant its more of an obsession. it just does not stop. so there, so far i can only think of one. should i even get this task completed and "infect" other people? am i that mean? tsk tsk.
everyone should watch madonna's nothing really matters video. its a very eccentric video to watch. i think from this paragraph down, would be my subtle homeage to the mother of reinvention. so if this disturbs you. piss off! our dear old madge has stood the test of time in my opnion. she has really proven her worth to everyone and is worthy of the title: mother of reinvention. now i have not really been an ardent supporter of madge, i started taking notice of her when i got mtv. and i started really noticing her when she came out with her ray of light album. i think its one of her best. it has quirk. and it really brought out the best in her. though it was not a big hit in the charts, it does not matter. she should be over that. cos she has left behind a legacy of her own. ok the homage ends here.
i suddenly have nothing else to say. damn msn chats are distracting my thoughts.
bye.

[ [then what.] ]
-Monday, November 21, 2005-
things happen. then what?
people fall in love. then what?
people fall out of love. then what?
drama ensues, loads of it. then what?
people are not what they are. then what?
questions questions questions. i am making a point to make myself self-repetitative. so what then? can you tell me?
you believe in a religion so strongly. then what?
you act this way cos of your strong faith. then what?
i think its no longer about religion. its more about comforting oneself, telling oneself that it is okay to have sinned through religion. but i also think, to accept that it is okay to have sinned, and by that, continue doing it knowing that it is a sin, is true religion. you do not need "stuffs", to help you get rid of your sins. you do not need man made practices to purge you of evil thoughts, thats why it is man-made. you only need yourself. once that is accomplished that is true religions.
naysayers shall beg to differ. then what?
my ignorance is bliss. then what?
ping has called me lim. then what?
i am not lim. though that is my surname. but i am not lim on trent's blog. period.
zai jian.
bye bye.

sleeping sometimes serves as a form of escape no matter where it may be. its is an art that some may not be able to cultivate but others are able to adopt. i present to you the picture right above this post. sleeping so soundly at the mrt station just like illegal immigrants granted a one-way trip ticket to the "all singaporean dream". what in the world?!
i'll make this short seeing as to how the other posts were kinda lenghty. mr norrell and jonathan strange the book i am reading now its turning out to be quite the read. i really like it.
school's okay. projects are staring to amount to stress. friends are okay. work as usual is quite the pain.

[ [quirks and qualms] ]
-Friday, November 11, 2005-
i was supposed to have posted a full length post. but through circumstances and sheer stupidity my previous post had disintegrated into the internet. well shit happens. and this isn't some chinese blog promoting some shithead super chinese movie. that picture happens to be from the movie clean. and it is a english/french movie. starring maggie cheung and was helmed by her ex-husband olivier assayas. all you chinese potheads gape.
the movie was a great movie to watch. i had mentioned alot on the previous post but had lost all the words to do so. maggie cheung is a great actress. immaculate. she brought out her character with such vigour that you feel touched by the character she is playing. poignant in its narrative. the cinematography a tad bit shoddy but was made up by the marvelous characters. it touched on the indie music scene and showcased pretty prominient idie icons. like upcoming indie band metric. overall everyone should watch it for the first time and be doubtful of maggie cheung and then do it the second time and truly respect her talent. that sure did happen to me.
quirk. seems to be a pre-requisite to the indie world. that epiphany just suddenly struck me. indie artists nowadays are pretty quirky. and this can be much said due to the influence of earlier indie artists like rufus wainwright and say sinead o'connor and kate bush too. all had a sense of quirkiness. look at the frontwoman of the band metric, emily. she is sure as hell quirky. then there is feist. nothing much can be said about her. just quirky. but then again the indie music scene are starting to become a sellout. everyone can just say they write and play their own music and label them indie music. its now quantity over quality. what a sad fact. oh. ladytron is not bad too. if u are into like the earlier eurythmics or say blondie?
qualms. i have found a solution to my mini problem. i can finally upload songs. yay to that. i am tired and lazy. if only the previous post were still here.

...for the fog of pesticide to clear before i go get lunch is quite long and boring. they had chosen to fog the place on a friday instead of a thursday. damn bastards! can't get my lunch till i feel its an all clear.
its not that i do not like holidays but i just feel that this one week of free time and days were spent rather fulfilingly. that if is you consider being a night owl. my days of staying at home and going online were often thwarted by the whole family being at home. something i do not really enjoy. what with all the sitting down and watching tv and having peaceful family dinners that end up in squabbles. thats why i oft choose to go out in the night. then u have the mother figure telling you that you have been spending too much time outside and not inside with the family. but when i choose to do so she places herself in her room. not much communication going on is there.
but friends are my vice. they lure me out and i get lured out. so in a way it works both ways. claps to that. this whole week of chilling and spending money will finally come to an end on sunday. and its back to school and work. gosh i have not even worked this whole week. and its a couple of mixed emotions invovled. just the normal motions.
the beach was fun. the clubs were banging. the make-up and costumes were fun to get into. the chilling at mac's were entertaining. anticipation of the french movie affair is building up. so is that barbeque date i had set. so it has been pretty packed. but i like packed. but i had neglected work and missed out on a good deal the night before. oh well.
please please please.
now i have the chance to finally blog. i am still hungry.
i see the fog has cleared. finally. lunch!
