although to some people, war of the worlds is just another movie, but to me, it aint. its an eye-opener. i saw the way the people struggled to survive, where everyone's selfishness, fury and violence all come out in desperate times. as they say, "desperate times call for desperate measures". you can shoot just to survive. jump off the 'bridge' just to catch the last ship, and to find out that you're doomed no matter where you go. and one could actually kill someone in order to protect himself and his daughter from the so-called aliens.

in singapore, this kind of competitiveness is NOTHING compared to how people behave in china. you can call them barbaric and uncivilized, but its their need to survive that compels them to do what they do. push, shove, whatever. its chaotic. but in such a populous country, how can you survive without all these skills? it's just like in survivor where you backstab and do all inhuman things, just for one thing - to emerge as the ultimate survivor.

at the beginning of the show, it seemed like the father was insensitive and unloving.. but as the story unveils.. you see a fatherly love so strong that he can do anything, and i mean anything, just to save his son and daughter. the will to survive, and the love for a family.. can be soo great it compels you to do unthinkable things. sometimes people just cannot express their love well, that does not mean they don't love with all they have, with all their heart.

oh and anyway.. after readin pourqoui.. it made me realize one thing. kids are the most wonderful things you can ever have, apart from love, and your other loved ones, of course. kids' innocence makes you view things in a different light. those inquisitive ones will ask questions that make you ponder, and more often than not, its questions adults cannot answer. kids are beautiful. like totally.. =) kids.. in a way.. are smarter than us.. not in terms of knowledge of books or what, but those things that can only be felt by the heart. i cant think of the word.. it starts with 'v'.. darn..

oh and then i went to attend the NJCSB concert at victoria concert hall with ailin. their sound is , wow. and i really mean, WOW. especially for phantom of the opera. i could feel my spines tingle..my hair stand. of course i think its partly cuz of the acoustic of the hall.. but still.. you need a certain level of competence to achieve such wonderful sound right. thus. haha. no wonder wenjie loves that band so much. sighs. and i enjoyed the encore piece of abba song collections. wee~ a concert worth replaying. and japanese graffiti IV, it brings back memories. i lurrve that song. i still can remember the part i play! =D it somehow reminded me of hongxiang. bahhs.. he was a very funny senior to me. =)

anyway.. i still believe nanyang has the talent for every cca. its just that those talents are hidden..somehow. look at many of us AMBians.. we refuse to join the band cuz of its..erm..nvm..i shant say.. and people like kelly..has had enough of dance. somehow somewhere.. along the way.. those experienced just cease to re-join their cca.. and thus.. we have to retrain people.. and that's where we lose out. somehow, the passion isn't reignited.

anyway.. that's all for now.. ciao~
