Happy Birthday Singapore :)
Allo allo everyone...i know its not yet National Day but its the eve so its good enough isn't it?
Haha actually for people who know me should know that i have been real cynical recently..but no matter what i still feel glad that i am a Singaporean.We have amalgamated a lot of cultures and i feel proud of every single thing that is Singaporean.Heck...i am even proud of our 2 big liew lians(cos i really like the interior,has nice ambience)
I feel comfortable with our lors,lahs and lehs..i don't care if people from other nations do not understand me,in the first place i can't even understand Scottish accented English haha so i do not expect foreigners to undestand Singlish.Singlish is actually the one thing that is truly and uniquely Singaporean about us...and yet its being treated as a low class thing by a lot of people..i feel sad whenever a fellow Singaporean totally lambasts Singlish.
But then again..i guess i am just being weird..haha i always make a hooha about a lot of things don't I?Gotta apologize here to my friend,he knows who he is :) Cos i always bicker with him over trivial matters or anything that can be said hahahaha,stupid me.
I just came back from my friend's father's funeral...its been a while since i last accompanied a funeral procession...you could just feel the sombre mood and it really makes one wanna cry...but i held back my tears i guess but also dunno why.We went to the crematorium at Zi Du An at Sin Ming Drive,it was where my grandma was cremated also...made me remember how my own grandma's funeral was like.I remember that i was young and in fact i didn't even cry because i think i just thought my grandma was sleeping peacefully,now as i think back,i guess its the remembrance of her in my heart that counts very importantly.Now my grandma's ashes are placed together with my grandpa's(his remains were exhumed from his CCK grave) at a temple at Bukit Panjang, at least their ashes are placed together :)
Death...always makes me think about a lot of stuff...furthermore i watched Land of The Dead yesterday...hmmmm made me think even more.Where would we go after we die?Would we go to heaven,hell or another dimension?Would we remain the age and condition that we die?Or do we get to choose the age and condition??Haha strange Taoist ain't I?I sure must go and learn more about the religious rites because in the future it would be me who would be partaking in the rites,who else would do the necessary rites for our ancestors??I do know that ancestor worship has been debunked as religious balderdash by a lot of people,but i think i had mentioned before that its part of the roots of being a Chinese and no matter what it should be well preserved.
Ohh back to Land of The Dead...definitely a gore-fest,watch if you like to see people die in many ways...or rather be eaten in many ways.George A Romero indeed is a master of his art...there was quite a fair bit of social commentary again...it let me understand why his Night of The Living Dead series was so popular among a lot of people.He's like the zombie maestro version of Michael Moore..dun believe me??Just go and watch the show :)
Okayzz then..i shall stop here for now :)
Cheeriozzz
