0932 313

here's a song that makes my day.


it's an old song by Jordan Chan which i really like.

i tried to find out the meaning of 0932.
i'm sure i've tried that before.
but today's a refresher of what 0932 is.

when 0932 is said in mandarin, twist the pronunciation a bit and it would sound like..."Ni Jiu Xiang Er", or you should think...

direct translation into english doesn't look all that fantastic.
but it goes well with the song.

i've been slowly working on my fyp for the past few weeks already.
not playing mj, not playing games, not doing any thing else much except for doing the report.
1 more month to final deadline.
guessed tml i won't be able to deliver my first draft again. it's only 3k words -_-

something i saw in the forum

Buddhism does not require other religions to be wrong in order for Buddhism to be right....
That would be so small minded!

This was a quote from a picture from a sg forum that was talking about a recent poster that a NUS christian club put up saying something about buddhism in thailand.

In actual words of the poster,

"thailand is a place of little true joy"

and they went on to imply that it's because buddhism, instead of christianity, is a part of the Thai national identity.

personally to me, it seemed like a load of rubbish. first of all, i don't really fancy the idea of promoting one's own religion. too forthcoming. second, they're attacking other religions. though complaints have been made and the poster being taken down, it was still rather short-sighted and inconsiderate for them to write such words out. is it me, or do some christians think that there is really a best religion around?

all these stuffs are sensitive issues which i myself find it touchy to talk about sometimes with my christian friends. especially when i just started to know them.

but i'm glad i'm a buddhism, or taoist. i'm not confused, i'm just not sure. haha... but for whichever i believe in, i still don't like the idea of going to places and promoting a certain religion. i'm sure they're fine by the way they are.

An interesting sighting

It's been quite a while since I've been here. Still busy with my graduation essay which is still progressing slow. Even with a deadline extension from 6th feb to 20th feb, I might still be unable to submit a full draft. As much as I want to, the organization of the information flow really takes up a lot of effort and time. But at least I think I'm doing fine now.

Was on the train home from school and shopping for gifts when I saw this guy, seemed like a youngster, late teens I guess, but with that few strands of white hair I can't be too sure. Heck, I myself have a handful of white hairs. Haha.. Anyway, he went around the train telling passengers that he was hungry while using his hands to hit his stomach to further show that. It was rather interesting how he took it so natural that ppl should give him money becuz he asked for it. The thankful thing is that he didn't persist in it.
