::I'm living in a Paradise::
I will not blog today I will not blog today I will not blog today
admit defeat.
Time does not exist. Tell me exactly, what time is it now? aha! you can't. as you're checking your watch and telling me the time, time has pass and the future as became past of the present moment. So time does not exist. Hypothetically speaking of course.
courtesy of yazid. the nut.
well my essay is on course...think i should finish it within the hour. :D
u know this thing about a eurasian in parliament and racial quotas and "state your race" on forms is really bugging me. i mean, watz the big deal? yeah we're of different races, different ancestors (i wont say different culture, cuz we kinda have a mixed one dont we? we as in singaporeans in general.) but aren't we all ultimately singaporean? i wont start on my global brother/sister hood thingy yet. (cuz u know, we ARE ultimately human) and i wont even go near the religious issue (although, technically, arent we all children of God? seeing that He created us all and stuff like that.) but RACE i can handle. wat's the point of racial integration if when it comes to schools, workplaces, and even SURVEY FORMS we are reminded of our differences? sure, we should celebrate differences. but race isnt innate. culture is. there IS A DIFFERENCE. race is not = culture. i can be eurasian, but live in french culture (i dont, but i could. and for general information's sake, eurasians are NOT europeans. and we dont look the same. go read up on ur social studies - wait there's nothing in there. just go read up before u start generalizing. irritating.). i could be chinese, and live in an indian culture. see? the point is, we live in Singapore, generally experiencing the same stuff (talking about my generation here.) sure it'll be nice to see a eurasian in parliament. but there shouldnt be one there just BECAUSE it's nice. he/she should be there because he/she (or me. heh.) deserves to be there. and is wanted there. that's the whole problem with the racial quota thing. it degrades ppl. would u really want to be in a group that only accepts u because they needed another chinese? or malay? or indian? i wouldnt. eventually, yeah they'll come to appreciate u for u and stuff like that. but the initial conception is WRONG. if we just stopped making a fuss over issues like race (while mantaining sensitivity - a hard line to follow, but ultimately rewarding), THAT would be equality. sure we need to respect culture and religion and stuff like that. and we should be (and are) proud of who we are. but don't patronize us. please. thank you.
yeah. sorry. ranting again.
to the dear yr2...study hard for prelims k? and good luck. try focus. it helps sometimes. :p
right. back to the essay then. asta la vista baby. (im sure i spelt that wrong.) ciaoz.

Hands
by Jewel
If I could tell the world just one thing,
It would be that we're all ok
And not to worry because worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I will not be made useless
I wont be idled with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small I know
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after
We will fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
cause when there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees and I will pray
I will get down on my knees and I will pray
I will get down on my knees and I will pray
My hands are small I know but they're not yours they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's hands
