Despite, .....

Despite we might be talented, as the world change, will this talent be necessary?

Despite we might be nice, are we appreciated or taken for granted?

Despite we might be hardworking and diligent, will these bring us far?

Despite we might have dreams, when we wake up, will these dreams turn into reality?

Despite we might be realistic, do we still need to dream?

Despite we might have goal, will it score?

Despite the moral value or religion value exist, will we be able to keep them till the day we see our individual god?

He's a farmer

So far, it has been 17 years together with Ant and Qiang. Usually I would be their part-time companion. I would either be hang-out with either one, unless time allows we will definitely meet up together.

On this special day, we catch our what we missed last weekend. From his conversation, I realize that in his specialism, he's like a farmer. I don't see him so much as what he works as but what he does and how he does it. The process is simple, he plants the seeds and wait for harvesting. But in between this waiting process, he has to take note of many little process, like watering them, look after them, etc...and at the end of harvesting, in fact during harvesting he had to expect couple of failures. Isn't that what life is about or should be?

Gangs Of New York

Consider the one of the busiest city today, New York had her very own story to tell in the "Gangs Of New York", a film by Martin Scorsese.

This story was told in the time of New York Draft Riots,
that break loose on July 11 to July 16, 1863, where a Irish American young man, Amsterdam Vallon (Leonardo DiCaprio) who held vengeance against his enemy, Bill William Cutting (Cameron Diaz).

Cutting killed Amsterdam's father (Priest) in a battle between the Natives (True Americans) and the Dead Rabbits (Other Races, mainly Irish), and little Amsterdam was locked up in the Hell Gate for 16 years. Cutting was fighting for his father's name as an true American, who hated the
Irish, and the African Americans, whereas Priest fought for his fellows. Amsterdam never understood his father's action, all he cared was to revenge.

On the other hand, Boss Tweet, consider one of the most corrupted politician ever in American history, sided whichever party that benefits him. In order to stay in his post, he had to get votes, which upset the New Yorkers.

This films tells me, at least, about how corruption and racism can overturn a city, which brings death and misery.

However, if the story was meant to be written and presented in a confusing manner, it succeeded. I was lost couple of times during the show. At times I was pretty disturbed by the soundtracks and sound effects, and I realized one part, where sound mis-match.
I wasn't very much impressed by the camera angles, not that it's bad, but it's fair.
As for the ending, it's good but maybe could end in another way.

During the 190mins, as the show proceeding something reoccurring in my mind, the 1964 Race Riots in Singapore (Geyland). I always tell my friends and family that...One day, I'm going to bring this story up onto the screen, to commemorate Racial Harmony Day.
I know it sounds ridiculous and corny, but as much as I concern, it's my dream, not that I'm patriotic but at least to me......

"Our past is the torch that lights our way."

Perfectly Comfortable

There are many people get upset, disappointed
even depress when things ain't perfect.

Whereas some got frustrated and uncomfortable with the word "Perfect",
and they hate The Perfectionist.

However how many people who go thought such emotions wonder what Perfect is all about?

Everyone in the world out there definitely had think about or discuss about this word over and over again. I've heard all kinds of answers - the holistic ones, the wise ones, the smart ones, the stupid ones, the inspiring one...but non makes me comfortable.

The best answer always comes from oneself who realize what's the best answer for him -

Perfection is an idea which is not being executed, as it has not been executed it is perfect.

Barbarians Vs Modernist

Before I actually finish reading "God Explained In A Taxi Ride" by Paul Arden, not even half way through, something strikes me.

I will not literally share with you how good this book is,
but what I've come out with after reading.

Here We Go -

One day 3 barbarians dying of thirst. They were so desperate of water, so they prayed to the Rain God. Rain God gave them rain and they celebrated in joy, dancing in the rain.

One Million years later, 3 modernists suffered the same situation like the barbarians. They prayed to their individual God, and it rained. However, instead of celebrating in joy, they were arguing which God heard their Prayer.

-The End-
