AVP = Altogether Veri Pathetic....

today waz a cool day.. literally.... rained like crazy.... thankfully waz indoors.... haha...

well... took some time off the usual schedule of travelling between sch n home today.... went to watch AVP with jq, tan wj n wee lee.... chiong frm sch when lesson ended to catch the 3pm show at bishan... waz realli silly coz we got there 30 mins b4 the show n there were more than enuff seats available.... niway bought the tix n felt quite contented.... wandered ard j8 for awhile to kill the time.... went into the cinema feeling reeeeeal excited n watched the show.... many many sec sch kiddies ard.... been there done dat.. haha...

i muz say... the show waz a total disappointment.... it juz makes use of the fame dat the creators n directors of "alien" n "predator" haf worked soooo hard to attain to attract ppl to watch it.... all we get is some half past six effort where the storyline is totally pathetic n the onli gd thing abt it waz the com graphics... datz abt it... the storyline n setting is juz some sorry excuse for putting humanz, predators n aliens into an arena n then kick off a visually spectacular battle royale.... i bet the story writers forced in the whole pyramid morphing thingie juz to make the show different frm other shows.... datz it.... the ending waz totally pathetic.... as the chinese say.. "haf head dun haf tail".... n it waz so darn obvious they were poising for a sequel.... guess wat?? i dun see dat coming b4 humans go extinct....

anyway... wun wanna dwell too much on dis show... itz such a let down n waste of money.... kudos to tee who caught collateral (i tink)... hehe.... would watch dat anytime.... ^^

ok.. on to today's matter of discussion.... QT today is one of those entries where, to me, there's veri little link between the passage and the discussion in the devotional.... but still gd nonetheless.... well.. i guess there's more to talk abt in the passage than in the discussion in the devotional...

itz veri interesting wat the tongue can do.... besides french.. haha.. :P but seriously.... wat we say can be either veri destructive or veri constructive.... the power of speech is veri potent... as seen in the passage... the mouth, tho small, can still haf the power to direct thingz... juz like how the small rudder of a ship changes the direction of the ENTIRE ship.... we see dat power all the time.... like how hitler psychoed the germans to murder millions.... or how bush psychoed the americans to support the iraq war..... or perhaps on a more positive side.... we see maaaany examples of great ppl being encouraged by others when they're down n out n they're able to achieve great things.... take helen keller for example.... she used to throw a veri bad tandrum all the time when she lost her sight, hearing n ability to speak.... it waz her teacher mrs sullivan who waz veri patient with her n i bet she spoke to her a lot... encouraging helen to gain some confidence in herself despite all of her disabilities.... then we see helen keller setting up schs for the blind n other great thingz dat i totally forgot.. haha.. :P but still the example is there.... without this positive power of speech... helen keller would not haf done wat she had done....

well.. going further down in the passage... there's something abt how we shld be more decisive on how we want to communicate with others... we can either be veri bitter n resentful n curse others.... or we can be the lights in the world to brighten up someone's day.... well... rationally we would choose to be dat special someone to others.... but frankly speaking itz veri hard to practice such a discipline...

we're able to say nice thingz abt our frenz or family members.... then we're like the aforementioned spring dat bringz forth sweet water.... but when we go out n we see ppl we dun like... we start saying bad thingz abt them.... sometimes even insulting them... then we're like dat spring dat bringz forth bitter water... therein is the difficulty... but itz a nice challenge.... to be nice to ppl all the way.... may sound faggoty but I DUN CARE.... it works for me....

well... shldn't be giving a mini-sermon here.... haf had complains alreadi... haha... but nonetheless itz MY blog n i write wateva i want.. haha... i'll juz make it more convenient for u ppl to read it.... wonder y ppl dun like to talk abt issues pertaining to religion.... well... i guess i'll leave it to another entry coz i seriously dunno the answer.... gotta go out there n find out for myself.... i guess the entry's kinda long.. so i'll stop here.. hehe... so til the nxt entry.... poyitu varen...
