Blue Orange Green Pink Purple

maybe.

flashing lights

woot i have a business case draft due in 3 days and i am around 3% progress but i've decided to watch youtube and slack and blog...guess nothing much has changed huh...

anw i wan to blog about something that i saw last sunday. i went LA during the weekend AGAIN but this time mainly for my project. so on the way back we've decided to take the highway 1 instead of highway 5 cos highway 1 is a scenic drive near the coast, though the route is longer than highway 5 by arnd 100 miles. so i was driving down and suddenly the on-coming cars started 'flashing' their lights (turning hi-beam on and off immediately).no just 1 or 2 cars but 5-6 cars in the row where doing this. i suddenly recalled that i've seen this somewhere: when i was a little boy i would see oncoming cars flashing as well and i would ask my dad what that meant. He said that the oncoming cars are trying to let us know that there are cops nearby...and i asked him why people would want to be nice to other people that they don't know or cant even see (passing by each other at 100mph)...and i forgot what he answered actually.but sure enough down the road i saw a cop camping, ready to prowl. i guess no matter how evil/corrupted the world you might think it is, there's always nice people and some niceness like flashing lights is actually universal. and although i couldn't recall what my dad said, i guess i sorta came to understand and appreciate the niceness in people and it's probably what my dad wanted me to learn then (sadly it took me 17 years).

ppl are nice ok. the nice nice not the pleasant/nice ok.

anw here's a clip of taeyang from big bang. not a fan of kpop but this taeyang guy is good and damn fortunate cos he has my ouxiangs shaun evaristo and lyle beniga as his backup dancer n choreo:

loveless.

people around me are getting attached! feel so happy for them and on a certain level envious of their bliss. since they are only going to see their other halves in 2 months time, they have no one to channel their lovey dovey energy so they started acting weird around the house...which is kinda funny but it makes me look forward to the NORMAL life that i can lead in 2 months time haha..

however some people that i know are having a rough patch in their relationship now...it is especially harsh for those who has been together with an extended period of time...and as stupid as it may sound...i envy them in a peculiar manner too...i think that facing the problem, trying to work things out, even at the risk of losing each other is a very bold thing to do and i think it gives a very deep meaning to what being in love is (a random analogy would be that near death experience as a way to remind that you are alive) . i just pray that it will work out for it's best and they won't have to go through too much tough times to get there.

didn't used to think about this kinda of things too much but i guess being single for 4 years really made me think of things that i otherwise would not. oh let's see what bible says about being single: "Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. " (1 Cor 7:8). GG

on a totally irrelevant note here's a choreography from patrick.CHEN (this is how his company dance2xs writes instructor's name...quite seh right...let me try... peter.LOH... wa damn seh also) anw here's the vid:

a thousand dollars.

last week i went to LA again for dance classes and bonnie was kind enough to allow me to crash in her apartment at USC. debbie reynolds dance studio is in north hollywood while USC campus is in downtown LA so I had to take the metro to commute back n forth. So while waiting for the metro a guy handed me this:














whoooooaaa 1 thousand US dollars cold hard cash! thats like 4k ringgit! i never see before ok.

on the other side of the note:














potong steam. surprise surprise, it is not 1 thousand dollar! it is a message about Jesus Christ! it talks about how money itself is not root but the love of money is and how believing in Him will give us eternal life (which btw is true, read john 3:16). being a christian myself, i totally have no problems with the message itself but i am rather disturbed by the way it is presented. is the gospel so repulsive that it has to be sugar-coated just so that it can be easily swallowed? i used to attend chinese church when i was young and gospel when translated to chinese is called fu-yin(福音) or happiness-tune/message. And why does message that gives people happiness require so much gimmick/marketing?
this being a video from the channel "Amazingatheist" i do not agree with 95% of what he says but i believe that he shares the same disgust that i have against such methods. Is there a need to sneak in Jesus? i believe that the Good News can be shared in any way so long as it is effective in reaching out to a group of people (Mars Hill Church is a punk rock church) and the essential message of john 3:16 remains intact but i think there's a line where after you crossed it you sort of belittle of the message and the gimmicks take the center stage instead of salvation.

this brings me to people who "preach" at junctions as well. in LA and las vegas (there's actually people doing this when i was going for the killer's concert as well) , it is not uncommon to see people using a microphone and a speaker warning passer-bys that if you do not believe in Jesus you will be sent to hell ( which btw again is true) but from a passer-by perspective you kinda wonder is the guy doing it out of love for his neighbours or are being judgemental and mocking people...

i know i am being judgemental though i am not supposed to but as i always say " i am not there yet" hahaha

p/s: just kena fined $400 USD for parking my car in front of a person's driveway in SF. i could really use the $1000 dollars! drinking Hornsby (can someone find out how to get this in sg?) now to feel better.

pss: dancers: check out tricia miranda, jian and candace brown. sick choreographers. the song empire state of mind by jay-z feat. alicia keys is niceee too. tricia miranda did a siiick choreo to the song too bad is not on youtube
