Life is Just SO Fragile

yesterday was a day the whole world mourned for a great Pope. one who shone and brought differences in people around the globe. he loved everyone, from different races, from different religions. oh what a life he's had...

albeit his love and zest for life, clinging on the very last minute, wanting to bless all who were there to pray for him, awaiting him to shower his love over them... i'm glad he's now in the arms of God.

ever since that christmas eve @ st peters square in 2001.. seeing him lead the mass brought tears to my eyes, even though i dont understand his language. he was really hunched back, u could see that he's very much in pain. that was 4 years ago. i believe his ailments started way before 2001.. poor man.. and his voice was already almost inaudible. he was quavering.. his men had to keep bringing his hanky to him - for him to cough into. it was raining at that time, but i could feel that among the thousands of people in that very st peters square reached out to him. we all felt it. it's really tough seeing an old man trying to struggle with his uncomfortness and to talk at long lengths. but nevertheless.. he managed to finish the whole speech without collapsing. he's a brave man... having put up with the long battle of illnesses. that's true courage.

oh well.. let's not get too emotional here. why am i feeling like that? i'm not even Christian nor Catholic... but really... seeing him suffer for so long, i cant help but feel reliefed for him that it's all ended.

**************************

now, time for some happy stuff. lolx... met up with lydia yesterday.
she brought me to this wonderful place.. Sakura @ SAFRA Tampiness. we had international buffet. it's like genghis khan kind.. and the food's not bad. and cheaper than GK!!! so it's rather worth it.

then after that, we went to watch House of Fury @ TM. damn.. been spending a lot these days, watching movie. well... it didnt have a lasting impression on me. usually after watching a movie u'd be able to tell what are the things u like / dislike about this movie. but when it showed the credits.. i was like............. i didnt feel anything. it wasn't great, but the action made it look like pass the mark. but then there wasn't much special effects also.. so .. well... writing good screenplay aint easy, we all know that, dont we..

it's nice.. going out with lydia. i realised we share quite a number of interests, like reading. i hate her!!! we went to popular. and i was already salivating at the books. there are so many books that i wanna buy!! and so little budget -_-" darn sad. i'm a pauper!! i need cash~~~ okay. so i tried to constrain myself by looking at other stuff, like spotting cute guys. unfortunately, there was none. darn. and that silly girl... was telling me she had all the books i wanted to buy. i felt like strangling her. so we exited popular. and we went to times... dammit!! MORE BOOKS, MORE VARIETY!!!! argh..... so i wanted to get rape of nanking. took the book and queued up. and that girl!!!! she said "are u sure".. dammit lor. the book's so thin, i'll finish it in a few hours.. so.... i decided to move on. BESIDES, it's already 9.10.. show startin. so.. ran to the cinema. argh. okay.. library later.

then after the movie.. we saw lydia's sister!!! they look as alike as peas in a pod. haha.. of course lah!! SISTERS WAT!!!! ke ying, what are u thinking??!!! and her brother in law's damn young. and i heard he won some award, some "youngest senior creative director award". awesome. and.. i saw donita ross. she's ... lydia's brother-in-law's friend's wife. long eh. i'm not sure if its her, neither is lydia. but.. i'm 99.99% sure it is donita!! from her LOOK duh.. and from her expression, her prose. anyway, SMALL WORLD!

countin down. 9 more days to thailand!! weEeEe~~

i seriously doubt the execution on wednesday will happen at all man.. it's pouring like nobody's business... rain rain go away..
