a colored spectrum

Darth Vader

sneaked Stars Wars saga finale preview yesterday.
was pretty good but not annihilatingly exciting.
interesting to know how Darth Vader aka Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side
and embraced Emperor Palaptine, and how he became scourged into Darth Vader.
however, deeper from the surface lies a contemporary political tease.

utterances such as "if you're not with me, then you're my enemy"; "i am the senate";
"this is how democracy fails into applause" (or something like that).
remarkably similar to utterances made by President Bush isn't it? =)
With its many references to arrogance and lust for power leading to the dark side,
is "Revenge of the Sith" intended as an allegory for our times?
"Only a Sith deals in absolutes," says one of the wiser characters,
who is clearly not in favor of endorsing a good-vs.-evil agenda.
watch it and you'll understand. it's more than spectacular settings.

went Zouk for Mambo nite as well with my thai language classmates.
my gosh... it's a total ah-beng nite!
Subaru Impreza's fill the carpark, the crowd was chinese spewing,
ah lians cajole with their bengs. the music was largely techno too.
all in all, it reminded me of Canto Disco tea parties.
many weird guys which i shall not elaborate on.
1 dances to samba music like a shuttling badminton player.
3 are gays touching each other.
1 gets high rubbing his back against mine.
1 insist that all of us make-out in front of the Phuture bouncers to gain entrance into Phuture.

did you realize that the Zouk's carpark bouncers carry a flickering red light torch?
looks like light saber right? heehee. they're the star troopers!!! whee!!!
and they dress in black too!

research work hasn't been going well. getting quite tired mentally.
but i am willing to try my best. tmrw will be another day watching microfilms. sigh.
may God give me the physical and spiritual energy to endure through this period of testing times. may God shed light and enlighten me, send me warmth in the cold.

i'm reading a book now, titled In His Good Time by Bobby Sng.
tells about the history and development of the Prostestant churches in Singapore.
serves as a strong reminder to our christian obligations of evangelism, community work and selfless dedication to help others.
the more i read about inspiring people and their achievements, the more i read the Bible,
the more i sing worship songs at Mass, the closer i feel to God and the more i need his grace.
"you are my God and my Lord".
may we be better christians and obey your calls to do our mission. Amen.
