Helluva Week.

I'm having a migrane right now and the pain in my brain is excrutiating. I don't know if its due to the fact that I just spent the entire evening/night/wee hours of the morning finishing my sociology essay on globalisation..it's like hello economic geog in Jc oncemore..just that this time 'The Sim' is not here haha.

And its amazing how I refuse to proofread my essay cause I'm scared.
I smoked so much , there are only two possibilities:
firstly, that the smoke will blind the marker's eyes and he'll give me a fantastically good grade OR
the essay is going to catch fire and self-destruct..

Mango smoothie at 3 monkeys and omelette at cyber city the two previous nights do not seem to be such a fun idea on hindsight...if only we all had magical butts..Lol

Anyhow I think I had the best Journalism lecture I ever had so far on tuesday..the lecture was on visual journalism and the hour was spent debating the nobel winning picture 'The Vulture'.


Basically Kevin Carter, the photo journalist was waiting for the vulture to spread its wings and capture the shot. However, I reckon the one he got was powerful enough. Basically the African girl was on her way to the refugee camp but because she was too weak she couldn't even move and the vulture was waiting to pick on her carcass.

So he took the shot, then sat under a tree, lit a cigarette and cried as he thought of his daughter back home who was the same age as this African girl.
Subsequently, he won the nobel prize for this picture along with a truckload of criticism and committed suicide.

So here are the questions the lecturer post to us:
Do you think what he did was right?
What would you have done in his situation?
If you couldn't draw the line between what was acceptable and what was not would you place yourself in the situation whereby you have to make a choice..
the entire period was just debating but I heard really good arguements which were very enlightening..

those for what he did argued that the picture he took raised awareness and saved the life of many other children..in addition outsiders are not allowed to touch these African children because their immunity systems are too weak to withstand any viruses that we might carry..besides, there were other people around the refugee camp who did not do anything to help this little girl as well so why put the blood on the photographer's hands..

the opposition argued that while it was not wrong for him to take the picture, he should have tried to save the girl or made her dying more comfortable ..like held her in his arms so she wouldn't have to die alone..

personally the biggest issue I had was with him killing himself..I think at the very least you should be the person you are able to live with...which brings up the whole issue that as journalists, personal values are morals are very important because it determines the work you produce..so yeah really awesome lecture!

Mondays with Timothy

" The day the devil came in three forms.
He’s on the prowl, he’s on the lookout, he comes to steal, to kill and destroy.
And By golly he’s in my kitchen, my living room and my bedroom.
Sometimes he comes alone, sometimes with his demons-
They take different shapes and sizes
But they sure can’t fool me
Evil has a distinct smell and taste.
I shall say ‘be gone from me you evil thing’
And ‘flee in the name of Jesus!’
Then the occupants of love, peace and joy shall be the new tenants.
Restoring the house oncemore. "

Recently, I've just been facing many issues and challenges and I shared it with my dad ( he's called Timothy and thus the title of the post haha) on msn and he really gave me wise counsel. He was just sharing with me how the people you find most irritable can sometimes become your lifelong mates and how the favour of God really depends on us being obedient to the Holy Spirit and having a character that pleases him. Don was brought in as an apt example of how the favour of God is upon those who love and obey him. I'm really glad to have both my dad and younger brother as spiritual role models.

Afterall, everyone and anyone can give you sound advice, but not everyone can convince you of that through their lifestyle. Which really just reminds me that if my earthly father can give me such wonderful spiritual support, the capacity in which my heavenly father can do so would be even more. Thus, I am really determined to draw closer through building my personal altar in this season of chaos.
haha for a person that spews gossip and nonsensical crap half the time, I do actually make sense once in a while!

rambles

Ugh....I feel so wasted.. in the academic sense...this entire holiday has gone by and I haven't been as productive as I would have liked to be..and I'm still wasting time blogging haha then again as a journalism student, this is more of like a writing exercise.....

Anyway I've been frequenting Michael Urie's blog... him being gay is just about the most devastating thing apart from my height..haha I came across this picture of him with Becki Newton, amazing how they are best friends on set and off set..it's so sweet....


Oh Kendrick, where are you???? haha I miss having my own version of 'marc' around ..sigh no one does bitchy, gossip girl like stuff in such synchrony as we do..haha oh in fact I have a picture of us that kind resembles theirs.. we're in winter wear too LOL

ok like minus raymond reuben and joshua haha


on the bright side..mandy is coming in about 2 weeks...yay to sisterhood!

What would you do if you were Paris Hilton?

She's got the looks,
she's got the boobs,
she's got the cash,
and she's got that chihuahua....

Wikipedia describes her as a socialite, celebutante, heiress, model, media personality, singer and actress..in fact I think they forgot author..



she's ..............Paris Whitney Hilton...
no doubt the girl has issues with living 'the simple life' , got expelled from school, had a few scandals ( ok maybe more than a few...) but she's the true epitome of American Fashionable life..and we all know if you make it in America you make it just about anywhere else...

SO here's the question of the day : What would YOU do if you were Paris Hilton?

I would not go to school,I would just spend all my time living a hedonistic lifestyle, start my own fashion line, dress my pet in all sorts of designer wear, and shop like crazy!!!!!

which probably explains why God would never give me any that which is a good thing ...
but I'm interested to know what every other girl would do if they were Paris hilton, haha and maybe at the end of the day, we'll find that we can't really blame the poor girl for all she is and does.....

No Ordinary Sunday

hello all you B's and G's?
Happy easter! Heard this random quote by a Dj while sitting in lem's car today, " easter chocolate tastes especially nice" :) It's been one crazy weekend from Good Friday till today.

Went to watch a stopmotion claymation picture with friends at this place called Palace Cinemas, which was really posh. Imagine yourself, with a glass of Château d'Yquem in hand, reclined into the comfort of a aussie-sized plushed seat, sipping your wine in the ambience of a cosy-sized cinema.
Gorgeous enough for you ;)

The movie was called 'Mary and Max'. It is unique in the sense that each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay. haha something like watching 'Postman Pat' with a better story line.

Basically ,The film tells the story of the unlikely pen-pal friendship between Mary, a chubby lonely 8-year-old girl in Melbourne, Australia, and Max, a 44-year-old, severely obese, Jewish man with Asperger's Syndrome living in New York. I thoroughly enjoyed it and encourage everyone to go watch it. It tells of how friendship can be found in the most unlikely places and people and how if you're always willing to give a bit of yourself, you'll find that friends are never far :)



Saturday was Kim's birthday! Happy birthday my dear roomie, sorry the surprise party wasn't entirely a surprise cause of my healthy lungs and loud voice. Loads of love to you! Hope you liked the Winx-themed birthday powerpoint. I LOVE THE WINX!

As for today, Easter Sunday, a rather big group of us headed to BCC -Lem, Evan, Sarah, Felicia, Sam, Dan and myself. The preaching there is just spirit-blowing awesome and today they performed the well known skit to the song everything by lifehouse...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyAuCTaL9T0..as an easter highlight. After which we went to this jap/korean/taiwanese place to eat? The food took forever to come so Sarah and I caved in and had ice-cream as an appetizer. I reckon I might really die young from my high levels of suger intake.

Lastly, thank you Jesus for dying for us, if it were me I doubt I would really do it for a bunch of undeserving people but Great is your Love for us :)

411 thats bigger than the 911!

DEAR ALL,

gossip just brings such joy to my life, like a ray of sunshine penetrating through the darkest storm clouds.

The biggest 411 of the year has just happened.


I can't say more because journalism ethics decree that a source's request for confidentiality should be respected. However, if you open your eyes and ears enough, you will find that nothing can go unnoticed.

As kendrick put it...'I think God is coming back'...

Just one of those days

I think...I’m having a bad day. Don’t really know how it happened because the earlier part of the day (meeting up with Felicia for lunch and going to the new jour school building which is really modern and cosy) was actually pleasant. Oh except for the psyc experiment on memory and consciousness, which is really tedious at 11 in the morning? All I was really doing was like clicking the mouse super duper fast, so an experiment that was supposed to take at least half an hour became fifteen minutes for me.

Anyway I reckon I’m not getting very good sleep nowadays, Kim recently told me I sort of frown in my sleep, perhaps that is making me more moody. Just maybe, it’s seeing the same faces, dealing with the same internet crap that happens like once a week or the simple fact that reality sucks. Like frequently for the past week many police cars and fire engines have gone by our road at night making a racket, rumour has it that like 15 houses in ‘The Manors’ got broken into, is St Lucia happening or what? Oh and a month back some road got closed cause there was a shootout over some drug dealings. Never am I going to snigger at another SAF advert promoting the safety of our country, seriously.

However, when I have those really comfortable moments with people like Yu Lin, where we just enjoy each other’s company in silence, it feels so comforting. Haha and I’ve also been seeking comfort by watching this Italian animated series called the ‘winx club’, before you judge me , at least acknowledge its better than what most guys do for fantasy- turn to porn.

On a more journalistic note, you know the saying that the world is made out of stories? It’s true..
Here's a little something for you to muse over..

Magicians never reveal their mechanics , but they are all the same they’re just tricks. They leave you spellbound rooting for more, but they’ll never abide you with an encore.
You’re the magic star of my show, summer’s warmth and winter’s snow. No sleights of hand nor misdirections, I’ll figure you out, no matter the attention. All of my obsessions and what i’ve said gives no justice nor reflects my intellect.
Lies and untruths should be incorrect, they do their best to mess up my head.My inside cries and screams for help, if you looked at me you couldn’t tell, You’d be at wars with yourself and i’ll be running when i hear the bells.
They’ll mean the end of our time and i really wonder if i’ll be out of line if i used tangent squares and cosine to find an explanation for myself of any kind.
You’re the most beautiful tragedy and with our misfortunes we make a story. 3 parts love , 1 part sadly of nothing more than tragic misopportunity.

SKANKS and whatnots

Hello B's and G's,
right now, I really should be working on 3 things- my reporting pitch; my comu essay and the intro to my psyc lab report. INSTEAD, I am blogging haha actually I prefer to call it a writing exercise to get the creative brain juices to flow.
First up, the SKANKS. If you didn't know, a skank is someone often considered to be promiscuious and in my words, someone I highly detest.
Type A of Skank, are those who are extremely promiscuious and all they ever talk about is how smart, beautiful or popular they are. They own their own 'galaxies' whereby everything revovles around them. However darlings, if your world is that wonderful, the rest of us can see it for ourselves really..so please remember bragging is so passe. It is a selfish world after all and apart from you no one is really that interested in your life. So you can either get off your own pedestal or someone's going to take you down.
Type B of Skank, are those who are sadly unwanted but devastatingly desperate. And the situation gets so bad that everyone else can see how blatantly you are trying to promote yourself to the opposite sex, you're like one step away from being those wild beasts in the heart of Africa getting ready to pounce and hump. this is the part where all the five year old kids go ewwwwwwwwwwwww and we actually agree with them this time round.
But , having said all this, you guys really do entertain people like myself haha so at least you have some entertainment value.
Now, I think i'm readyto start on my essays haha tata!

Two Marc's and a Patel

hello B's and G's,
I think i've been driven mad by deadlines, assignments and early morning tutorials. The only way out now, is to spend the remainder of my time drooling over guys, which I have recently come to love.
First up, Michael Urie who plays the role of Marc St James on Ugly Betty. He's got such a handsome face, WHO CARES IF HE'S GAY!!!!
Famous Quote : Black is the new Black, food is for the weak, inner beauty is for uglies


Next in line ..... even to my surprise is Dev Patel... He says he can't dance but he sure can act..plus he gets brownie points for being a londoner with that sexy thick Brit accent...

although it is kinda creepy how he resembles Ross from friends haha

and be prepared for the shock of your lives....my reporting lecturer Dr Mark Hayes..ok DISCLAIMER : It's not what you think! haha I just think he's a pretty good example of a journalist who has pursued his area of interest with the pacific..he has like countless stories to tell us about Samoa and Fiji which are actually quite entertaining despite my lack of interest in that part of the world. He totally reminds me of Robinson Crusoe!!

alrighty then that's all for now :)
