PW in 2 days... ok 1.5 days, really

to all (esp mark) ok i've changed music =P but you prolly need an A in jap to understand it XD. either that or get it translated =P

i've also removed all bans from my tagboard. just to start afresh and to help out some of those ppl whose IP's were remarkebly similar to those removed. like the school IP. so you can post again. but if i see any more trash i'll ban again, no questions asked.

and also got a comment from annong that the stuff here is to "cheem". really? hmm never really thought of it that way. do the rest of the people who read think so thoo? leave a comment or something. also like to know whether it's too deep in language or what. would help in expression and such, would it not?

...

i missed the opening premiere of the lastest drama serial. i believe it's called "house of joy" or something like that. no, i don't watch drama serials, but i am interested in the opening and eding episodes. why? they usually dispense a bit about the series during the opener, and they also usually end with a conclusion-thingy for the last episode. not only that, it's got quite and interesting quote here and there, and how to handle certain situations. well missed it, so too bad...

just give an example of what i mean (picked this up from anime "pita-ten" ending)

our lives are made up of memeories, good and bad, happy and sad. some are locked up deep inside, and won't be remembered until something triggers the memory. some are reviewed again and again, a certain scene repeated like a broken record.

should a sad memory be dug up again? or should it be buried, and forgotten? after all, it is all the experiences we've gone through that make us who we are. should we accept the bad memories as they are, keeping them close to heart, or should we bury them deep in our minds, or even pretend it never existed? would you thank the person who reminds you of a particularly bad memory, or would you curse him?

these kind of stuff is what is subtly implanted (well, in my mind, anyway) when the main story was about death and forgetting. afterall, we hardly bring ourselves to face death. it is natural for all of us to pretend it never exists, or that someone who has left us had never existed int he first place. yes, we do pay our respects and all that, but do we still hold those no longer with us (not just death, even those who left overseas, or something) close to our hearts? do you try to remove every memento of someone departed, trying to quash all painful memories related to the person, or do you cherish any and all reminders, displaying it prominently and being proud of it?

...

that aside, i've also read the papers quite a bit and was rather inrigued by one of the articles. o wait, before i get to that, did anybody read today's (tuesday's) computer life? there's an interesting report about the effect of blogs. not bad... i wonder if my little page has that kinda effect.. probably not >_>

anyway, ok might just wanna say before i start that this will prolly land me in trouble or something, but i've been thinking about it over a few days and i can't see much that distorts the truth or attacks individuals. so i shall go ahead and post it, even if i do get into hot soup for it.

there was a report 2 days back about how it was getting increasingly difficult to keep people in parliament. and of course this was backed up with documents, blah blah blah, office spaces are more luxurious than parliament offices blah blah blah they get more pay blah blah BLAH. so of course we must offer them more blah blah blah better facilities blah blah blah...

they're missing the point here. no doubt we want talent and stuff in the government, but if we really think about it, i'd rather have people who care about the masses rather than their own self-interest run the country, even if they aren't the creme-de-la-creme of the crop. it's not a matter of people getting poached from the public sector anymore. if these people are willing to get poached, it shows where their priorities lie. and i'm not too sure i want someone whose always looking after himself before others to be looking after me. think about it from that perspective a minute.

of course, if we weren't so focussed on talent and nothing else... but i better not go into that...

...

ok, PW presentation in 1.5 days as of now. good luck people... i guess...
