Remember, Remember the 5th of November

Remember, Remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.

Internal rhyme and rhyme every two lines... English poetry is very beautiful, if only to jio za bo like V in V for Vendetta... He got Natalie Portman! How powderful is that!

But there's another reason why it's interesting...5th of November is ORD day!
Haha sorry to all those ppl reading my blog who ORD later than that...

V for Vendetta uncannily reminds me of Singapore... black bagging political activists... an atmosphere of fear of terrorist attack... tweaking and manipulation of the lives of "less important" citizens... the very saddening thing is its depiction of the moral stagnation within the church of England, and the depiction of religion as an excuse for extremism... hope that never applies to Singapore...

Narnia

Wonder if the vcd for Narnia is out yet? I haven't been shopping around cd stores lately... Most of the time it's just watching the movie in the cinemas or on Star Movies haha... Or asking friends to download... But I really really want to watch it again... Very inspiring stuff... Was discussing with Paul Elsa Evelyn n Valentia yesterday...Thanks for the ice cream treat btw! It was DELICIOUS! haha I suppose what they said is true...that it really is all the more inspiring if you look at it from a Christian perspective... All the critics who say it's too religiously slanted have missed the point of the whole series...it's MEANT to be a religious allegory thingus... They're just critical over nothing lah... But after watching the movie I was SO inspired to do things for God... need that kind of FIRE... haha even called Zanet to talk about it hahaZ that was quite funny, now i think about it...

I risk getting caught up in the mundaneness of life... I don't really like clubbing, but I don't mind going new places... like Ministry of Sound... Need to get friends to go soon... haha... hopefully when the queues are SHORTER... My parents and I drove past at around 7 plus and there was ALREADY a queue!! CRAZY thing....

Was reading Nicholas' blog... real cool stuff there! I guess NS's a time where Faith is grown... especially when ur forced to do things u would never want to do outside... like confinement, or guard duty, or turnouts, or route marches...the list goes on...

Still waiting for Edinburgh... But now i'm wondering if i should apply for NUS dentistry...I don't expect the reply to come in yet, but the NUS deadline for apps is 1 April... The funny thing is, before Saturday, when Dr Winston Tan was talking about Dentistry, i looked on it in disdain... But i guess my reasons for doing dentistry may not be correct...

Lifesong

Empty Hands held high
Such Small sacrifice
If not joined with my life
I sing in vain tonight

May the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to you

Chorus:
Let my lifesong sing to You
Let my life song sing to You
I want to sign your nameto the end of this day
Knowing that my heart was true
Let my lifesong sing to You

Lord, I give my life
A Living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be your hands and feet
So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to you

Chorus:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,Let my lifesong sing to You

-Lifesong, Casting Crowns

I wanna play this song for worship! Really speaks about living life for God, let the song of your life sing to Him...

Haha

26 But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.

Sigh.
