salman rushdie

the sem is at its last bit. loadsa things to catch up with n with life now at its busiest phase, i wun be too wrong to say that many things suffer - health, relationships, quality of sch work, slp, etc. oh well. no pain, no gain.

random thoughts...

how many senior citizens actually know tht the green seats in the SBS buses are actually meant for them? do they know its a lot more secured with its heavy base, and priority goes to them if they see an able-bodies commuter seated there?


oh oh. i think i have an issue with drunk ppl. last sat i ended up at o bar totally unprepared ( oh well i was not even dressed for it). one of my nephews who turned 21 that nite went there. maybe it was the whole bday bash, our dear fren ended up getting drunk. and my bro got high at the end of the nite. its simply annoying. i mean y lose ur chance to have fun by vomitting on ur frens and using the streets as ur one-hour 'hotel' rendezvous? PA-LEASE. pisses me off major. its not that getting drunk is bad or anyth. but dun do it all the time. or at least pls take care of urself.

talking of bday, mine was the usual bad thing.but more den that, i had always thought that august had the most bdays for me. looks like march is coming up to it. we'll just see.

aaagh. i lazy to count liao. u count n tell me who is more. oh btw if i had left out anyone, dun kill me hor.


oh i have been reading Salman Rushdie's Fury for sometime. there are sum really nice words that i gotta let yall know.


pg 11

Othello does not love Desdemona... He says he does, but it cant be true. Because if he loves her, the murder makes no sense. For me, Desdemona is Othello's trophy wife, his most valuable and status-giving possession... He loves that about her but not her... Desdemona's death is an 'honour-killing'.

pg 51

we were our stories, and when we dies, if we were very lucky, our immortality would be in another such tale.

pg 58

She had learned how to twist and thicken the plot. As a practising Catholic, she initially announced that she wouldn't sue Rhinehart for divorce even though he was the devil in disguise. The devil, she explained to her attorneys, was short, white, wore a green frock coat, a pigtail, and high-heeled slippers, and strongly resembled the philosopher Immanuel Kant... "My revenge on Satan," she told the bemused lawyers, "will be to keep him the prisoner of my ring."

woa.


pg 66

Though words can become deeds. If said in the right place and at the right time, they can move mountains and change the world. Also, uh-huh, not knowing what you're doing - separating deeds from the words that define them- was apparently becoming an acceptable excuse. To say, "i didn't mean it" was to erase meaning from your misdeeds, at least...



hmmm. now that is sum food for thought.




adioz.




P/S: to that soul who is tagging anonymously at my tag board as admirer, i hope u would stop it pretty soon. i dun quite appreciate it. thanks.
