I don't quite get it sometimes. Look, does it matter if being gay is a choice, as some say, or if it isn't a choice, as other swear? What makes people gay, yet others wonder. What does it matter? If it is a choice, why should anyone be encouraged to "change" that choice? If it isn't a choice, why are we at all bothered about it inherent, or born with it, or whatever? It isn't as if it's a birth

Homosexuality Can Be Cured This is a very interesting article. I think it is, at least absolutely necessary reading for anyone who wishes to consider the issue of homosexuality, bisexuality, and hetrosexuality. I do, however, think that "There is no such thing as homosexuality" is a statement that perhaps stretches a little too far. Granted whilst the programme claims a decent success rates

It makes me so angry. There is this case in the papers, about a Math tutor who sexually abused some of his male students, boys in secondary school. Five of them he abused, and of them one suffers post-traumatic stress, another hates his mother and stepfather for hiring that tutor, and three others-- the papers are silent there, but one of those three apparently didn't want his Math results to go

Some days I wonder what I'm doing here, because I'm so tired. But that just means I'm very, very young still. ************ If Iraq keeps announcing every few days that it's destroying some sort of weapons...then they didn't comply with UN demands. And if there are still scientists skilled in weaponry working for the Iraqi government...pray, tell, what they're being employed as, if not in their

HOT, HOT, HOT It's hot. It's even a hot night. I've been feeling like a cooked radish all day, for goodness' sake, and a really sore one at that...suppose I sat too long at the laptop working out Credit and Security assignment, and I felt like someone ironed me out...all these kinks in my bones and aching shoulders, owwie. Sat four rows away from Davies today, and it's really strange how he can

I went down to town to watch Daredevil. It's pretty good...the storyline was great, even if there was little fleshing out of the characters, but the fighting scenes, choreographed by Hong Kong folks, and the blood and all that-- that was undoubtedly the highlight. Wow. There were some really precious, priceless lines in the movie as well.

The UN Attended a lecture at Grand Hyatt yesterday, given by Kishore Mahbubani. Or is it Mabubahni? ... Nice, nice. It's not every day that I get to hear a respected diplomat in Singapore speak, plus he was talking about the UN, which I'm admittedly slightly obsessed about, so of course I had to go. Plus I remembered reading all about him not so long ago in the papers. He didn't say much that

Everyone needs an outlet of some sort. Some gamble, some smoke, some party the night away, some go for billiards, some are bitten by the travel bug, some catch every ballet they can catch... Me, I'm just glad I write. :)

What I Didn't Know Today, I was suffering from a bout of cramps...that time of the month again...so I picked up an old book. Something called 'The World's Best Detective Stories' or something equally odd. I think I bought it when I was in Sec. 3, about fifteen at that time, perhaps, or younger...can't quite remember. And when I read through the book today, I suddenly realised that I understood

HOLIDAYS!!!! Yes! A one-week break! Finally! And I have a secret...a mighty big secret...and I'm dying to say it out but I can't. I'm not supposed to. >.< Ugh, it's killing me! *dies* Yes, well...uh, I am supposed to update stuff, I know...but currently I am suffering from a dry fount of inspiration where To Chase A Star is concerned. I am dissatisfied with the new developments and therefore

New obsession coming up. I just bought Samurai X the movie...the Rurouni Kenshin movie, really...and I'm hooked. *_* And I'm not over my CCS, TB/X and FFVIII obsessions yet...I bought an X anime poster the other day, and Kamui has got golden eyes, like Fuuma, and probably Seishirou too...>.O

Bias How just and fair can you be in a situation which involves someone who is a very good friend of yours? Would the fact that this person is your friend make you feel some sort of bias that would somehow soften your judgment of his/her actions and words? Do you really believe that you have judged fairly? Suppose someone else, not your friend, did as your friend has done. Would you think of that

Of Passwords and User Names... On the Internet, you can be anonymous. You can have a dozen different identities and still be the same character shining through. Sometimes it's difficult to remember who you are where you are. Evidently I'm not cut out to be a master criminal.

Sometimes people ask: "Where do you get so many ideas from?" What can I say? It's only if you're in the business that you know. There's no such thing as training to get it, IMHO. You have any amount of story pieces floating around your head, characters dancing into life, situations unfolding... Some people say it's your muse. I don't know. All I know is that it's in there.

I Love Pop Music Well, that's true. A lot of people look at me and think 'classical music' but really, I'm very fond of pop music and I mean pop. I realised why the other day when I was listening to Kelly Rowland's Stole. It's because classical music doesn't have themes like that, where I bite my lip and listen, knowing that the songs reflect what's going on today. There's Stole, and then

Wow. Newsweek arrived today...and they published my letter on the death penalty! I'd forgotten about it, you know...seems so long since I last wrote it. I even hunted down the e-mail address of the guy who wrote the article I was responding to. I suppose that I should have engaged him, but I didn't as I hadn't the time to. Well, I shan't be so timid next time. Next time, I WILL engage him.

This is making me so angry. I have just read about paedophilia in the United Kingdom, and how Scotland Yard took in many people for questioning; and now comes the news about more children (apparently from Africa) being smuggled into England, again for child-sex purposes, or else for African witchcraft rituals involving body parts. And then the news about a children's home in Portugal being

Well, yesterday, my cousin visited, complete with wife, new baby, uncle and aunt in tow. By generation, I am that baby's aunt. Goodness, but it does make me feel old. My mum and sis were cooing all over the baby, who's a girl and will turn six months old this weekend, if I'm not wrong. She's really a very sweet and cuddly thing, but I was absolutely terrified I would break her or something. All

Hmm. Third day of the lunar new year...new lunar year, more like it...and tomorrow, it's back to school for me. Hopefully I'll be able to meet Bella after school tomorrow; I did record an MD, as per request, and I certainly do not want it to go to waste. Okay, time for all those quizzies... http://auracolors.com Apparently, I tie for violet and blue colours, with scores of 10 each, and then

I have laryngitis. Also a nasty cough as a side dish. On a happier note, we have finally stood up to Malaysia!

Unless you want everybody and his donkey to know about your crush, you should preserve silence and fortitude. You have no idea how fast gossip spreads.
