Loaded blogger with a good mind to blog about light-hearted nothings when something else slipped into my mind while looking at the TV and at xiaxue's blog.
(i do multi-task rather well hor. hehe.)
Whilst all this, I was reading about what xiaxue blogged about Obama.
They both interlink okay, so let me continue.
So I don't usually write about religion, I sometimes talk about it with my friends but- I find that it's a personal relationship between two and somewhat sensitive. Another reason that I don't write about it is cause whatever that comes out will be largely biased. I have good friends who strongly believe in other things- and they're still great people. We're all entitled to believe in different things.
Okay. Back to the thing that slipped into my mind while looking at the TV.
Sometime ago I caught this movie (not very popular la. you probably didn't see it), it's called "The Bucket List" and it stars both Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
(and you think wl! these two famous people i sure see before one la !)
(and if you're the ones thinking who are these people... then nvm. that's not important anyway.)
Okay. So these are two old, ill dying men, who ends up in the same hospital ward, one ridiculously rich, and theother poor.
They can't stand each other, but as most movies often turn out, after certain trials and tribulations, they decide to do extraordinary things together, and both come to understand life moments before they kick the bucket.
I'm not going to summarize the entire story, don't worry. It was just this one part of the movie that's still heavily etched in my mind. Sorry for droning on hor.
So, this Jack Nicholson (being the rich old playboy), doesn't give a hoot about God. Morgan Freeman on the other hand, is a rather religious man.
In this particular scene, Jack Nicholson's old heckcare attitude kicks in. I can't really remember what happened but some religious talk came up between them.
And in this particular scene, an irritated Morgan Freeman asks a somewhat yaya papaya Jack Nicholson-
The dialogue goes something like that la-
Morgan: How can you be so aloof about God?
Don't you believe that there's someone up there?
Jack: I do not.
Morgan: So you believe that when we die. We die.
Jack: Yes.
Morgan: (i can't really remember what he said but it was something like this la.)
No heaven.
Why would you want to believe in something like that?
Would you be happy if you were right?
Aloof and tired Jack:
Look...
If I'm right, I win.
And if I'm wrong...
I win. Ok?
This scene got me thinking a good ten minutes during the movie.
So... new president, chronic diseases, recession.
We can still hope.
All of us has to kick the bucket sometime or rather.
So my point is... nothing. Hahaha. If you didn't get any of that- sorry. Hahahaha. I'm just rambling la.
Let's move on to something more light-hearted and airy !
My week in a nutshell !
(this happened quite sometime ago but what the heck.)
Wenhao's brother's solemnization ! (don't really know what that is. but it's a happy event where two people get legally married before holding the banquet i think.)
(and i so regret that i wore flip-flops there.)
Anyways, I forgot to bring my camera there. Fortunately, got professional photographers with their professional SLRs there to taken pictures of us ! Yay !
It was held a a boutique hotel called The Scarlet by the way.
Finally a good picture with both of us. Yipee yaiyai !
His brother and wife! Haha. The Wenhao thinks he can bluff all of us. Stand infront abit more that's why look so big size. Ehhhhhh.
Don't like this photo la. I look particularly short.
The happy couple ! The photographer very brilliant right? Can think of something like that to take more creative photos. Haha.
Here's wishing them ever happiness.
And moving on. The month of November welcomes my brother's 16th !
Hai. My last resort of a present. Hahahaha. PlayStation 3 !
And thank you. Now I'm dead broke.
Or okay la. Somewhere between those lines la. Hehee.
He was so happy ! Smsed him late at night to ask him if he was sad that I didn't buy anything for his birthday.
Didn't expect that he would reply " Nvm(: ". Hahahaha.
PS3 ! I can finally try out the latest GTA !
(if i ever get to buying la. disgusting leh. PS3 games so expensive one. only bought my brother one game to play. hahaha.)
And next up was last night when my Dad finally came to Singapore to bring us go eat dinner.
Was so hungry so only took photos after all the food was gone):
Eat so much until want to puke.
Hahaha ! Heng i no need to pluck ! Got three strong brutes to pluck for me.

On a side note, Si Ying just told me that they're A's are as good as over and they're as free as the fishes swimming in you dirty fish tanks ! Yay !
