[Thursday] (tt's 3 days ago, right???), I started on my 2 days leave... Now I can say tt I'm more or less contented... Afterall, I've finally had what I desired - to be @ home and to use the com w/o any parental interference... Though I have to admit - and I would really like to deny this fact, I'm not what I used to be anymore... I seems to have lost the ability to game for 12 hrs in a day... A mere 5 hrs is all I can take now, from the experience I've had on both [Fri] and [Thurs]... To [YH], yes... I'm admitting this now... I'm old... There, are you satisfied??? =P
On [Thurs], after the 5 hrs of gaming, I decided to watch a movie... I watched it alone - it's no biggie, really - since it's an impromtu decision @ [CauseWay Pt]... True to the reviews, [StarDust] is an awesome movie... The romance was sweet and like all fairy tales, the ending was one of those typical they-lived-happily-ever-after... Tt wasn't impt... What's crucial was the plots... Yes, there're 3 plots centered on the falling star unravelling simultenously throughout the movie and kudos to the director for linking them up perfectly, like pieces from a jig-saw puzzle a fitting nicely to form a complete picture... A must watch and a must add to your DVD collection.. Heke... ^_^
Off to the next topic...In yesterday's [Review] in [The Straits Times], there's another article with regards to the gay debate tt concluded not too long ago... The article accounted tt in the past, homosexuality was not frowned upon in the past, even in - I'm not kidding here - ancient [China]... I was surprised by the revealation tt homosexuality was practiced during tt time, in the palace, no less!!! In addition, the article also explained tt then, homosexuality wasn't a taboo or sin or whatever evil as their religions have no such thing... It's only when the [Brits] took over [SEA], and with it came [Christanity], tt homosexuality became a sin...
Therefore, together with today's article in the [LifeStyle] section, despite the 2 distinct sides arguing over this gay issue a couple of weeks back, the majority of [Singaporeans] acutally don't really give a damn abt a person's sexuality since majority are not [Christians]... Yes, we don't like homosexuals, but we don't hate them to the point tt they have to be burnt @ the stake, like tt of the [Salem] witch hunt... In a sense, it's like what [YH] says: 'I don't mind being around gays... So long as there's no PDA (Public Display of Affection)...' Now tt's some insight for me, who's having some serious issues with my own sexuality...
Before I conclude this entry, yesterday I went to [Novena Square]... I had dinner @ [Mingles] and I would recommend this cafe for a package of a meal and a nice long chat... It's a unique cafe as it's a cafe tt specialises in sausages... Almost every dish has sausages in them... Not your ordinary canned type, thank you very much, but those big, 8" sausages tt are sinply juicy and yummy... If I didn't remember wrongly, there're like 12 different types of sausages for you to choose from... Totally yummy, save for the wafer ice-cream... This, I would advice you not to buy it as I don't think it's worth it due to the samll wafer served... The pic is not availably as @ blog time as the pic's stored in my sis's HP... No camera HP, remember??? Zzz...
Last but not least, the other selling pt of [Mingles]??? There's a ice-cream buffet from 1500 hrs - 1800 hrs for $11.90 + for adults... 16 types of ice-cream for you to choose from + wafers + coffee or tea... Now this is a buffet I would eagerly try in the near future... *Grins* =D
Interesting Exchange (From a comice strip in 3 Nov 07 [The NewPaper])...
A: Apparently, [Albus Dumbledore], the principle of [Hogwarts] in [Harry Potter], is gay... This has sparked a controversy amongst certain readers about the suitability of the series... The question is: Why has [J. K Rowling] decided to reveal this now, when the series is over, and when [Dumbledore]'s homosexuality was never an issue in the story???
B: No, the real question is why some people are wu liao enough to be concerned about a fictional character's sexuality...
