rawk on! vids before glee piled on the fame (:

fun’s we are young.

watch e bass player who’s also the drummer at the front. ha. i find his role v amusing (:

another year approaches

as quickly as 2011 begun, it is now ending. time waits for no man indeed (:

and so, my break year fm ministry is drawing to a close. already, some ministry ppl are trying to secure my commitment. but i don’t feel a beckoning. 

sidenote, to turn down future invitations for outings. ha. my presence seems to unsettle ppl and anyway, i dun seem to be on same frequency as them. sigh. yah. shld spare everyone the agony. ha. 

i miss being a normal minion. 

an unfortunate unfortunate event

in this unhappy climate of unprecedented public pressure and stifled voices of power, e tpt system is the latest victim, unfortunately.

it’s almost embarrassing to be singaporean when i read the news or fb comments reeking of entitlement bordering on unreasonableness. how did we breed a nation of spoilt and ungrateful brats? is it the lack of natural and external threats? must infighting be inevitable?

who/what can lead this/any nation?

am reminded of israel asking God for a king. it led to king saul, who well, was good for a while. and then king david, who was mostly good, then solomon who began a downward spiral and eventually led to several books of mayhem. of course, more recently, there’s capitalism and communism. all are doomed to fail because man is self-seeking. heh. if only we could live like the israelites did before their fateful request - http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Samuel+8&version=NIV

как дела?

очень хорошо! русский уроки очень весело (:

so, latest update. in attempting to learn mongolian, have started w russian lessons to familiarise myself with the cyrilic language. ha am pretty much at the beginner stage i.e. lower than nursery level, but thoroughly enjoying the challenge and work (:

here’s a russian song tt i like and wanna learn! translation below.

“Пусть бегут неуклюже Пешеходы по лужам, А вода — по асфальту рекой. И неясно прохожим В этот день непогожий, Почему я веселый такой. Я играю на гармошке У прохожих на виду… К сожаленью, день рожденья Только раз в году. Прилетит вдруг волшебник В голубом вертолете И бесплатно покажет кино. С днем рожденья поздравит И, наверно, оставит Мне в подарок пятьсот «эскимо». Я играю на гармошке У прохожих на виду… К сожаленью, день рожденья Только раз в году.

Let the pedestrians walk clumsily through the puddles And let the water run over the asphalt in a river. It’s unclear to the passersby, On this rainy day, Why I’m so happy. But I’m playing the concertina For all the passersby to see. Unfortunately, Birthdays Only come once a year. I wish that a wizard Would fly in, in a light blue helicopter, And show a movie for free. He would wish me a happy birthday And probably, leave as a present 500 ice cream sandwiches. But I’m playing the concertina For all the passersby to see. Unfortunately, Birthdays Only come once a year.”

ha. A couple of mongolian kids’ music for sharing btw (: so cute!

lovers dance when they’re feeling in love

nice song (: so sweet!
