|Happy Holidays|
It's Singapore's National Day. I work shifts therefore i don't get to enjoy holidays like most people here. whatever it is that it means to all of you, i'm thankful to be born in a country that isn't in conflicts with any wars whatsoever. we're all blessed with peace but let us not forget the victims from wars in Iraq and Palestine..
just for some laughs on this eventfull day, i want to share this video of a Standup Comedian from canada,
Russell Peters. just some warning before you watch this. his joke are kinda 'racist' but in a funny way.. nothing that might stir racial hatred. if you're not open minded enough, please do not watch it.

|Eve of National Pride Day|
a brief history on singapore's independence;
after world war II, singapore and malaysia merged to gain independence from great britain in 1963. the merger, however, proved uncooperative. for demographic, political, and economic reasons, malaysia effectively cut singapore’s membership from the malaysian federation on august 9, 1965. this historic date marks singapore’s independence.
there you go.. another year passes by and now the nation celebrates its 40th year of independence. it's just another year passing by for me. freedom..? the air that i breathe is the only thing thats free! have we really becomed independent or are we more being dependent then ever before? how tolerant are we towards our cultural differences or are we merely ignorant from this foreignity that seperates ethnicity. we are one big multi racial community that needs more than just tolerance, but also acknowledgement of our right to practice our beliefs. for now, i believe this rights are at times violated or taken away because of its affect to the surroundings. will this injustice be waived? i have not an answer to those. but i hope these are not the things that pride ourselves of our independence to our freedom. even if this concerns the minority and if it does, i'd rather pride myself as the minority who will defy.

|The next epic|
"she smiles at me on her way back. you're beautiful, i saw your face in a crowded place. though i know i'll never be with you, not in this life. i was flying high when i saw her again today, on a crowded place. beautiful as she can ever be. the only truth i know is how much i want to be with you, but its time to face the truth. i will never be with you, not in this life."
hi, i shut down this vlog once and i'll definitely do it again if i have to. i have no video for now cause i havent been filming. it sucks to know that you're not good at talking infront of the camera. shucks!! i have been busy practising photography and finding photography techniques as well as editing. i had much help from some newfound friend hendra aka
obsoletetheory. he's currently slaving his life away for this nation in the police force. he's very talented in photography, so do pay him a visit. ok, i hope to be posting some stuff by the end of this week, or at least befor my re-union secondary school chalet. yes, i organised a chalet for my ex-schmates with my girlfriend before we broke up again, for the 2nd time. no regrets, we're gonna be friends. well, not the best of friends like the wans, ratno or my band mates, but at least we're not enemies from the bad relationship. yeah, i'm sick of relationships. i'm getting married with my 300D.. haha! so you guys will be invited! just kidding. for you guys who does not have a clue what 300D is? go do your search on the internet. so, it's sunday afternoon and i'm supposed to be heading to East coast this morning, but we cancelled it. and now, i'm stuck doing nothing better then blogging and surfing deviantart.com. catch some light later with my photography buddies later, hopefully. if not i'll just sit here and do nothing. got eat now! so Salam Alaik!
Jazakallah...
