hey hey yo jason's back to blog yo yo!
It was a fun pre-national day celebration today with 07s201=)

In the morning, we met up for breakfast in WhiteSands Mac before leaving for school.
the national day speech was really screwed by Ester. She was really strict, demanding TOTAL attention to every word that she says=( in the end, we had to stand in attention throughout the whole speech when she repeated it again. WTH

After the morning assembly, the whole class went over to LT4 to watch a malaysian movie Sepet. All I could say was that, i walked out of the LT very much inspired and touched.(lol)
the story was told in such a beautiful and natural way, and the movie left me alot of space to ponder on.
The movie touched on the sensitive issue of racial discrimination in malaysia, and it told a story of a Chinese man and a malay girl who fell in love with each other.

Quoted from a website, it says that "In this movie there will be a moment where you will laugh and there will be a moment when there are tears at the corner of your eyes, your throat feel lumpy and you tried so hard to control your emotion coz you don't want your fellow audience noticed that you are crying when watching a movie."
so true. lol

After the movie, the class went to sentosa for a day at the beach haha

Got me, shuli, douglas, hua cai, zhi guan, edwin, wilson, alvin, kennison, johnathan, josephine, rachel, jasmine, jana, yingzhen and miao ying.

took the monorail from Vivocity, we reached the beach near shangri-la resort (is it siloso beach?)

played volleyball, soccer, captains ball and we had a dip in the sea! drank a couple of mouthfuls of salt water, had a great time playing frisbee in the water and swimming for the first time in 3 years haha. Had dinner at Vivo foodcourt and went home happy!

sounds like a very normal outing? not so, when u are going out with the happiest bunch of ppl u can go out with. god bless 07s201

After the movie, one GP tutor commented that, to be able to laugh at ones own mistake is a feat worth celebrating. It involves a sprinkle of humor, but when I gave serious thought to what he said, it surfaced to me how true it was. I think that people who are afraid to lose and to admit mistakes they commit will never improve. Humility encourages other people to give constructive critique on your doings, and its only in this way where we humans can progress in life.
i really admire those who can laugh at their own mistakes, and i am honored to know some of these people in my class=)

been a long time since i blogged.
and LOTs of fun stuff happened during this period.
had a chalet with my class after the mid-year exams at pasir ris chalet, and went night cycling with guys and josephine. it was VERY fun, cycling 62.02km in 9hrs from 12am to 9am wahaha.
its nice to feel bonded to a class. even though it may not be the same for the others in my class.

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard oneBut I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' youCan hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
(let sombody love you)
You better let somebody love you
before it's too late

well, i know u have heard this song and its quite 'old' already!

but, today, when i chanced upon it on youtube again, i had a sudden thought.

As we all know, this song is a cover of the hokkien oldie, and many of us youngsters wouldnt know of this song if Wu Jia Hui didnt sing this song.

i feel that this song is a signal to many youngsters these days, to appreciate the music that our parents or elderly once listened when they we young.

many a times we find the hokkien oldies boring, but did we realli try to enjoy it?

this song let me think that, by trying to understand the music that our parents listen to, we are also trying to understand how our parents think and feel.

age gap or generation gap does exist, but i feel that music gap doesnt exist.

my mom was an avid music lover, and she listens to english oldies, chinese oldies, hokkien oldies as well as modern pop music.

she introduce me to many of her favorite oldies, while i introduce her the best chinese pop music.

now, i love english oldies more than pop. haha

and i feel that i understand my mom more haha

this song by Wu Jia Hui is very nice, attracts many young listeners, i believe Jia Hui will be successful.

all the best WJH! lolx
