I LOVE my blessed Mother in heaven!
Thank you for Your intercessions, your prayers, your love and your reminders.
Always guiding me to His way, His Truth, His Life.
I'll never forget the times when You've stood beside me patiently- amidst my fears, my happiness, my anticipation, my worries, my doubts, my failings, my success, my hopes and my dreams. You've never despised my weakness. Instead, you've assisted me even more than I could ask for and loved me with all your strength.
Throughout the years, You've shielded me and remembered me in your prayers.
I will never get to where I am today (emotionally, academically, socially, spiritually) if it were not for You!
So, I want to proclaim Your unceasing love for me to the whole wide world!
... yes, a mother's love.. ever so great.
and not forgetting my mum on earth as well... happy mother's day too. (:

The Lord's Prayer in German
Vater unser, der Du bist im Himmel. Geheiliget werde Dein Name. Dein Reich komme. Dein Wille geschehe, wie im Himmel, also auch auf Erden. Unser täglich Brot gieb uns heute. Und vergieb uns unsere Schuld, als wir vergieben unsern Schuldigern. Und führe uns nicht in Versuchung; Sondern erlöse uns von dem Übel. Denn Dein ist das Reich und die Kraft und die Herrlichkeit in Ewigkeit. Amen.

went down to the student's travel accommodation to make my final payment for the trip. and my oh my! can you believe my trip amounted to more than S$2000? i believe my entire savings will be wiped out when im back. that's really tragic if you think about it. all your life, all your years, all your months, you have been slogging and working REALLY hard; ploughing the fields and racking your brains. over one and the half months, your money just goes down the drain? why? its entirely because you want to travel and sight see. if you think about it, is it REALLY worth it?
hahaha! but i shant care much for now. it has been my dream to see europe! wanna go, i wanna go and i'm can't keep the excitement to myself. hahaa! thats why there's so much rattling about going overseas, stuff like that here. i'm just really excited lah can haha! after all, it is my first time travelling without my family, and it is my first time making plans for myself, learning to take care of my belongings, assuming some sort of responsibility and independence. you get my drift? i am deprived. muahahha.
im probably most excited to go to London and Italy!
can you believe liz and i are intending to visit the SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE THEATRE? hahaha! SHAKESPEARE of all people? after all the cursing and swearing, i am going to pay tribute to the dead man. i'm going there to find out why ive done so badly for my shakespearian module. maybe i'll be filled with new insights. maybe i'll become more literary. now, what is the probability of that? you do the math.
imagine my disdain for shakespeare in singapore. how ironic is it when i actually WANT to go to England to visit Shakespeare's theatre? hahaa!
apart from that, im can't wait to go to the speaker's corner in hyde park as well. i remembered learning about the existence of the speaker's corner in sec 2 or 3 when my english teacher made my class sit around a small circle in front of the art room to listen to presentations after presentations. haha! and i remembered doing two speeches all the time- one for myself and one for val. (we always trade homework. she would usually do my reading reviews for me) the following year, i even wrote something on 'what is war', and my english teacher actually chose it for some competition thing! erm but i cant remember why i didnt participate in the competition eventually. hahaa! was i kicked out or something? nevertheless...
i WILL be going to the real speaker's corner soon. it's like a dream come true. told myself i have to visit it someday since fourteen.
what else? lots and lots more. the london eye, the thames river, fish and chips, mr bean and the police. oh my gosh. its so exciting.
i have never looked forward to an event as much this. i am so thankful for this opportunity.
but on the duller side, for all you nus students out there,
the results will be released on 27 May. I darent check them, to be quite honest.
haha, but thats when i can officially say- so much for taking a keen interest in www.shakespeares-globe.org when i got a D for my shakespeare module.
*p.s.: this blog is set up for easy travel updates. in fact, this is for that sole purpose. so, do stay tune if you want to know how i'll be coping in europe next month! :) ciao!

THREE CHEERS FOR PAP!
i must say im really delighted with the election results!
first up. there isnt any change to the number of places pap has in parliament. BUT im somewhat glad the votes in several SMCs and GRCs went down by a small percentage. no. i am not being sadistic. no ive not changed loyalties- im happy because this would probably serve as a wake up call to those MPs. if you ask me, i think they *are* quite affected by the sliding number of votes. it says quite a bit about their future grip on power. haha. wouldnt you take some precautions if you were the government? to me, its only natural.
oh and anyway, the media wouldnt portray a worried and anxious government, would it? *grins* who owns the media?
was watching the results show in anticipation. haha! i was really quite excited for pap, praying and hoping that george yeo and lee hsien loong wouldnt lose their seats. (although i was pretty sure the pm wouldnt anyway! like duh. so much for the "suicide squad" eh?) hahaha!
surely, it isnt easy being a foreign minister. i suppose george yeo's doing a relatively commendable job in keeping diplomatic ties with other countries at the moment. admittedly, i dont have much impressive knowledge to show that he IS doing a great job. BUT, as far as im concerned, i havent heard any big hoo-haas or any major dissatisfaction. in my opinion, as long as the tide is low and calm, i'll always be supportive of him. plus! hes quite a nice guy, really.
i believe a foreign minister holds a really important post. our country's reputation is in his hands. it concerns how the world will in turn treat us when we're in their land. in other words, hes kinda an ambassador for us.
as for lee hsien loong- im sure actions speak louder than words! i neednt say more about his contributions during the past decade.
oh man. (pause) something GREATER caught my attention.
today's Lifestyle. L5:
bard of course: if you have $7.3 million to spare, you can bid for this First Folio edition of Shakespeare's plays, which is one of the most important books in English literature, at Sotherby's in London in July. The bard's identity is still being hotly debated, four centuries after his death.
"Because Shakespeare lived so long ago, it's more difficult to prove definitively whether something is the case or something isnt the case," Leman said. "This is one reason it's so easy to come up with conspiracy theories".
hmm. shakespeare was a woman? bisexual? im sure chan would be really interested to find out. (: haha! that was why fun shakespeare was introduced as part of the module, constituting to 15% of the entire marks?!
what about Shakespeare's ability to transcend time? what IF, like they said, Shakespeare is not really shakespeare? what if he were Christopher Marlowe or Sir Francis Bacon? haha! that would be fun! he would then be, as the englishman suggested, a plagarist of his time!
hahahahaha! the article was so hilariously funny that i couldnt stop laughing while reading. it seemed so relevant to the module i took last semester. okay. purleaseee! what would chan say? she will most probably read this anyway!
who wants to spend $7.3 million on the first folio? i can read it from the footnotes of a $20 book! hahaha! like okay! for what?! crazy! do you know how many things i can buy with $7.3 million dollars?! haha! a dream car, a mansion, a grand piano, lotsa lotsa musical instruments. or better still, i could donate some money to the poor and deprived. why wouldl i want to spend it on a dead man who indirectly caused a fall in my CAP? i dont give a shit on how the man was canonised. hello!
the only thing i took away from my module last semester-
Shakespeare has the ability to transcend time,
Shakespeare can cross cultures and boundaries.
hmm. so maybe im not a true lover of shakespeare's works after all.
what else? hahaaha! thats all.

i could sue someone for using this photo without crediting its source. that is, in simple terms, photo plagarism. it is an infringment of copyright rules.
visit: www.iloveliz.blogspot.com
oh btw, this was one of the photos that i took during the rally yesterday. haha! you have the power people! power yeah!
hope the g.e goes well today- in favour of the pap that is. i think they have done a pretty good job over the years. no one is perfect, no form of government is perfect. but i must say im relatively impressed with them.
my take on supression:- admittedly, singapore is a very young nation. to be quite honest, i dont think we can afford to be all that liberal. like you know. you dont exactly get full autonomy when you are ten years old right. compared to great old dear britain or liberal, high tech new york, we are indeed very, very, i mean very young. i think we are already taking steps towards being more liberal, towards 'opening up'. i am quite happy with the progress! (: so viel glueck to pap today!
talk about my take on other issues another time...
no. im not suffering from the side effects of propaganda. im not bought and persuaded after going through two years of social studies education. i hated it. haha! rebecca can testify to that. but i suppose my perception has changed radically over the years. and now, im definitely satisfied with the progress of the nation, the ways of the government copes with SARS and the birdflu. i mean if you think about it. when birdflu stuck and became a world wide epidemic, there wasnt a single soul in singapore who was affected. yup! good job there!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now onto the topic of alter egos.
why do people have to adopt several alter egos? for those who are relatively sane, take a look at my tagboard. as the days pass, i thought viewership would drop. but hell no. there are MORE and MORE people who refuse to identify themselves now?!
they blame one another. they dont admit to the things they say.
c'mon. what is it lah?! im damn pissed and upset that my blog has turned into some virtual masked corner.
why? why? someone please tell me: why do people have to adopt alter egos?
are they expressing unhappiness about themselves? dont they feel comfortable with their own name? why? is this a sign of a society turning into a faceless world?
