waiting...for the floor to dry

heh. :) dad's coming home tmrw! or rather later today..just finished with the mopping..ain't too thorough but i'll do a better one soon next week..this is too rushed..my fault :P

anyways been awhile since i last blogged..got a couple of stuff going on heh. watched a couple of movies (actually 2) and well got some comments i thot i'd share. hope it doesn't a) stumble anyone, b) offend anyone with my comments, c) encourage any stupid acts that i won't condone (check with me please ;) .. well sort of a disclaimer though, and partly i feel there's a freedom of speech/writing and it may not just be a pleasing sight to some but owells..

"hitch" was rather funny, not really that funny and romantic but had a good mix..the advice is well *rolls eyes* logical, yet comical. and at the end of the day, its just about following your heart..hmmms like basic man, just that the movie takes you on a thrill ride to get to it, at least its a ride in like a normal car not some soupped up racer heh :P

watched "passion of the christ" tonight at jq's place. well..i've got my views and frankly, its just wrong..the protrayal, the script, the characters, the 'action' is so hollywood-ish..firstly, its as they say, you wanna sell, you gotta sell it the wide and broad way and we all know where that leads.. secondly, doctrinally, there are some major glaring errors..i didn't feel a single bit of spiritual movement, cuz it didn't feel right..right from the first scene, it just reeks of commercialism. thirdly, you can say "director's interpretation" i say "pure hambug", its fine if you interpret LoTR the book way vs the movie way, or any book - movie..but when you're talking about sth like the God who became a man to die for my sins, and taking it so lightly, then its pure &^#@$(%$@#

if i watch a movie for entertainment value and because it contains that, its fine with me. to watch something so blasphemous like that and not stand against it, then something's wrong with me. if you nice readers do have sth against what i've just posted, sorry i guess we're all entitled to our own opinion, do drop a msg or comment and tell me about it. would really love to hear and discuss about it, its always good to learn :)

gotta sleep soon, soccer @ 9!

twins!

heh let me tell you a story:

long long time ago, in the land we call Singapore, there was a pair of cojoined twins, whose names were Joel. interestingly, they were co-joined at the ankle, both had seperate bodies and living systems but were joint at the ankle. thus as the birth parents had not the finances to undertake the operation to seperate them, they put them up for adoption. two couples came along and after some discussion decided to adopt the twins after they were seperated and pay for the operation. the operation was a success and now you have two seperate Joels. since then, we have seen them and they're Joel Quah and Joel Lim. both wear ankle braces to this day, one on his right and the other on his left.



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

sorry =P its a big joke HEH!

no lah i'm just wearing an ankle brace to see if it helps my ankle to get stronger..don't believe any part of the story..i'm just phibbing =D

i wanna call saf hotline!!

i hate camp now.

stupid master sergeant just there to screw up my day and my entire routine. i'm so damn pissed off and so really fustrated. i'm sick and tired of her ordering me and the other guys ard, falsely accusing us of things, having us to ineffecient work and then complainin we're causing her perfect system to not work out. pple like that aught to be done away with.

waste my time.

my only two things i guess i kinda forgot to do then, was a) take some pics, b) (erm i think i'll keep that to myself lol =D).

anyways, daddy's moving to ang mo kio community hospital (which is actually at yck) tmrw and tmrw's also lisa's birthday.

Blessed Birthday Lisa :)

sighhh

the facts i lay now before your eyes.

his tumor is in the same region as the last two times. because of its location and too close to the spine and spinal cord, they can't zap the cancer with radiotherapy. also he has had 2 bouts of RT and it hasn't seemed to kill the cancer. also because of the region its in, they can't do surgery because they can't possibly move the backbone to get to it. now the last option, chemo. they can't use the 1st line drug on him due to the fact his body nor the dialysis machine can dialyise it properly, so they can't give it to him. they're only available option now is a 2nd-line drug which they feel is not curative.
thus their focus now is no longer on curing his cancer but to delay and push back the onset of it. the survival rate from the docs is on the average is 30% after 5 years.

broken..lost..alone.

i just want you to know who i am

when you know someone like your dad is down with something incurable, the only thing keeping him here is time, what can you say? what can you do? i dun even know how to say it anyway.
