Some Ramblings.....
Alright... EPL is back again... Just finish the Everton vs Man U match... Nice start to the season... Man U won 2-0!!! Park Ji Sung had his first appearance (Giggs had chest infection), and well, he did quite well for the start. Practically see him running everywhere, including right side of the field although he was supposedly left winger... But man, Man U has to buck up, Everton practically had possession of the ball most of the time, just that they were rather unlucky in their finishing... Maybe that's a good sign for Van der Sar.
Don't know why... But lately everyone seems to be in the habit of blogging how they start the relationship with their other half... Maybe it's because of the akan datang wedding of Mis Snooze and Mr Teh Peng.... She is so excited about it... Infect the rest of them.... Must be lah... Wait.. .Or was it Ms Tehsi who started it... Whatever.... Because of that, now I am rather curious on how beanbean and her other half started.... Dang... I am becoming nosy again... Haiz... Me? I guess you got to WLL for it. (You can't say much if there is nothing, can you?? :P)
Anyway, I think my life has become a routine... Every Saturday, you will, with no doubt, find me in IMM. To be precise, Giant Supermarket in IMM!!!! Maybe Giant should come up with something for their regular customers cos, without fail, my mum will be going there, week in, week out, shopping for her groceries. Now that my aunt is not in Singapore, I had to follow my mum into the supermarket - What else but to take charge of the shopping cart!!! Haiz... When is my aunt coming back?!?!? I am really bored and sick of that place... It got to the point that I am now carrying my mp3 player and listening to it while I am in there... If not, try to find topics to sms to people... Sometimes, life can be rather pathetic, especially when it becomes a routine....
Went to look for some new DVDs to buy (since LaserFlair is there)... Well, came back empty handed. Was looking for "Bride & Prejudice" R1 version so that I can compare the diff between the R1 and R3 version (R3 was out quite awhile) but still could not find it... I guess it will take ages to arrive in SG. Now I know a friend of mine blasted this movie for being too stereotyping but well, surprisingly, I enjoyed the movie. If you want a no-brainer, easy going and of course with the usual Bollywood's "bursting into dancing and singing" style of movie and throwing in a romantic comedy (I think it's a comedy, I mean... "No wife, no life"?!?! And you can make a song out of that!?!? Now how can that be not comedy?) - this is it! It's quite easy to pass the time watching this... I watch it twice on the plane... And still am thinking of getting the DVD.... Hopefully my friend will not know of this... Heh....
The other "contender" would be Wedding Date. First caught it was on the SQ flight, on my way to Newark. Then watch it again when I flew back to SG.... Hmmm..... Another romantic comedy again... Oh well, Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith DVD will only be here end of the year... Judge is still out on whether to get the latest Batman DVD - since I have not seen that movie yet, as well as on the LOTR series... Somehow I am not addicted to that trilogy... Maybe it's because I have not really seen it, well, except for the 1st one... Saw the old Battlestar Galatica TV series DVD, but boy, it's almost $160! No way I will spend that much on 1 series... I think the last DVD that I spent that much was for the Band of Brothers DVD, imported from US. (Sad to say, cannot play Episode 1 now as the top layer had a small hole which makes viewing not possible.... Cry ah!)
Anyway, I am getting restless and the "urge" to buy DVDs are back.... Serious.... I am now even watching a HK TVBI drama serial - Triumph in the Skies (courtesy of my coz). Anyone else got some DVDs/VCDs that I could watch... Hmm... If I remember correctly Ms Snooze got CSI DVDs, yeah... Should borrow that from her... Oh, I tend to start watching when I am going under stress.... It's a de-stressing trait I have... Other than eating.... Heh...
Ok...Time to get back to the drama serial... Now which episode did I stop on.... Hmm....

Hmm....
Was revisiting some of my old "internet" haunt yesterday... Came across a list of bloggers in SPUG, and in the list, I saw an old friend's blog link... He was one of the first few people whom I meet when I was a greenhorn in anything on Palm and SPUG. Anyway, started reading his blog.
Saw some stuff that he wrote which, well, sometimes intrigue me and wanted to vocalised my thoughts... However, decided not to, which to me is rare. A lot of times, when we read something, we would digress what the person is saying and then, based on our views and values, we would either a) agree with his view point if they are the same as ours; b) disagree if they are different and sometimes c) due to huge gap in the differences, we would start a "dialogue" or something to try to prove our points - which is what I see in one of the entry. Often, it may goes down to some sniping at each other, asking each other to be more "open" or "grow up" or whatever...
I guess what I am asking is... What's the point of this? Will we learn from each other? Or would such sessions pushes each other further into their corner and refuses to consider what the other has said? Heck, have we ever learn from our past?
I mean really... Take for example, WWII. Hitler and his Jews genocide. The world was horrified by the brutality of this... (And yet, there are some today that question the validity of the whole issue because they cannot believe that humans can be that cruel!) Then we move even near... Some 20 years later... Despite what we had learnt in the 40s... Guess what... We have Pol Pot, and his regime that slaughter millions of their own countrymen in Cambodia!!!! Is someone going to question the validity of this as well? Did we has human race ever did learn anything? Even more recently, 10 years ago or so... Rwanda. Somalia. Even what has happened on 9/11 and Iraq and everywhere else in recent history. You know... we don't even have to look at others, even locally... We had people murdering each other, torturing an employee, killing an employer, etc, right at our door step.
The question I posed will be... Have we ever learn anything? Have those knowledge of past shaped us to be a better person? My take... No. And I would bet to my last dollar that we will still carry on as before. Perhaps it may ever so affect a small minority, but on the whole... I seriously doubt it.
