Religious debate (cont.)
I forgot to mention, i still don't see what proof we have of God's existence. Jean said that the fact that the bible is true means that God is real. Then i asked for proof we have that the bible is credible then she said it all boils down to faith. But then there's no need for this debate if we establish that the existence of God depends on what one believes in.
Just a question, can something come into existence just because people hope hard enough for it to be there? Can people's wishes come true because they wish hard enough for it?

Religious debate
i WAS going to flame robert downey jr. in today's post because of what carmen said about batman and "the ackles fella" but i decided not to. BUT that doesn't mean i'm gonna let you off carmen!!!
anyway, jean and i finally had the time to dicuss religion and conduct our religious debate. and scare off carmen at the same time. the topic was mainly the existence of God. jean took the proposition and i took the opposition. and xiyun somehow weaved her way into the discussion/ debate. of course, she took the affirmative.
i am proud to say that after everything had been said, we didn't manage to establish anything. at all. not even the definition of God or the credibility of the bible. but i did manage to gain some random facts from this debate:
1) religion is subjective
2) God is subjective
3) arguing with jean is almost as hard as arguing with dad
4) jean is one complex person. make that creature.
jean should be touched. i just wasted a whole post on her =D
EVERYBODY LOVES MILLIE!!! including the white clown!!
p.s. i shall start reading theological books. didn't know they existed until today but they're damn well interesting.

Comebacks
for those of you who know me, you might also know that i find great joy in comebacks =D
for the work-stressed of the world who are challenged daily to produce biting retorts but sometimes can come up with no more than an "OH YEAH?"
I don't know what your problem is, but i bet it's hard to pronounce.
How 'bout never? Is never good for you?
I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me. (this is so alexa)
I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter.
It sounds like English but i can't understand a word you're saying.
I can see your point, but I still think you're full of it.
I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid.
I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't give a damn. (how true =D)
I'm already visualising the duct tape over your mouth.
Thank you, we're refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view.
Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental.
I'm not being rude; you're just insignificant.
No, my powers can never be used for good.
You sound reasonable. Time to up the medication.
Do I look like a friggin' people person? (I have said this in my head so many times i'm surprised it isn't imprinted on my forehead)
This isn't a school, it's hell with fluorescent lighting.
You! Off my planet!
I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
My personal favourite: Chaos, panic, disorder. My work here is done.
That's all :) hopefully this will be inspiration for you guys.

Talent-time
i realise that ALOUD isn't just any talent-time but it's a MUSIC contest so screw the title.
the concert wasn't as good as last year's. maybe it was because i was filming and couldn't really concentrate on the music. y'know, trying to get the singer within a suitable camera angle while keeping in mind that you shouldn't move it too fast but she's walking so fast. i don't know why but after the first half i couldn't stand being in the auditorium anymore so i rushed out the moment the interval started. and then when i came back i got scolded by the seniors :( oh wells, i guess it IS kinda my fault. my new tagline: "Duty calls"
about the performances, i guess maybe it's cause the semifinals got cancelled so that the "quality" was compromised. don't get me wrong, some of the girls were really great. i didn't even know they could sing. their lovely voices made people like me who are deafer-than-tone-deaf, whose music careers are completely out of the question, extremely jealous. i'm just kidding :)
but of course, rachel's performance is still creme de la creme. she's better than amazing and her voice is really really sweet. she's got the best control of her voice too, and i bet that's the secret to her success. not that i'd know anything about it =X
oh and xiuqi, that girl is WONDERFUL. i didnt even know she could sing. and of course she didnt even consider TELLING ME. she did a great job with Behind these hazel eyes.
OH and one more thing, when thanh was filming, it hit me that it takes a LOT of effort from a LOT of people just to make a concert like this one. and the saddest thing is that although these people are absolutely crucial to making the concert a success, they get the least recognition if they get it at all. i mean i know, the emcees thank all these "invisible" people at the end of the concert and that's good. but i still think that they really do deserve more than what they get.
guess that's life
