War in Iraq
i'm discussing this issue with her now..weird topic but yar important to everyone.

Anyway. Its been 6 days since the war started and Allied forces are at the gates of Bagdhad but their rear is not entirely secured with Barsa and Umm Qasar still not secure, i'm just afraid that it becomes a guerilla war that America hates to fight, afraid that it becomes a Vietnam with even greater political repercussions, afraid that it becomes a war which consumes too much money and young American boys. you know what makes all this worse ? protestors in their home countries...yes in America..in Britain and in Australia...protesting against the war and saying that what their boys are fighting for is wrong? what is this manz...you;ll at least know someone who has a brother husband or father at war and this is the comfort sympathy and solace you offer them? shame on yourself. President Kennedy said in the 60s, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country...these brave young men and women are responding to the call of a later President Bush Jr. for a fight for the the freedom of the Iraqi people and the security of their homeland, their familes their children their friends back at home...instead of support they get shit from those assholes sitting comfortably at home who are unaware that they fight for their security. WHAT THE FUCK MANZ ..And those soldiers are actually willing to lay down their lives for what they believe in...this world is just so unfair.

As for the Iraqi people, i guess they don't want to exchange one tyrant 500 miles away for another tyrant 5000 miles away. But think about it, its America. Despite all the crap and hype about it being zionist, Israel supporter and blah blah blah. it is still the land of freedom and dreams, a country that has a constituition that brought freedom in a certain way by inspiring revolutionaries in France in the 1700s to do away with the oppression of feudalism and who has gave the lives of many young men and women to free europe from the stranglehold of Nazi oppression and tyranny in WW2. think about if any Iraqi ever reads my blog... they want to secure Umm Qasar why ? to bring in aid to feed the people to bring water they want to kick saddam's ass why? to restore freedom and human rights to the iraqi people...instead of being nonchalant or even fighting them you ought to stand up to saddam in support of the Allied forces.

War is sad and its not easy. Oscar wilde said in the importance of being earnest , "the truth is rarely pure and never simple" and its the same for war, war is the truth. People will die, giving their lives in sacrifice for their convictions but i pray to God that these convictions are one that is of liberty justice and freedom. I just read about Ronald Jr , one of the Apache pilots that have become POWS and the situation their family is in. I admire his courage and bravery to give his life for what he believes in and wish those qualities can be found on me. I pray for the families of all the POWS not to give up hope of seeing your loved ones again. Amen Once saddam is fucked and dead everythign will be over and peace will reign. ( btw pls fucking remove Qusay and e other shithead son too )

Today

Anyway went to town to meet her after her physio...bought my weights training gloves too. Had lunch at Crepes n Cream, Banana bonkers ! man super fattening !!! arGh...oh den we took this neoprint haha we were so lousy manz din know jap so couldn't get the machine to work but at least the picture turned out alright..she looks so cute in it !...went cine to see if we could watch a movie..couldn't so went to kino to read newpaper...haha Arsenal beat Chelsea.. just sat down there at the window pane and talked for a while...took mrt to sch after that... aye i'm so happy and comfortable with her but i just don't know how she feels keep on speculating but it doesn't really work that way...and sorry i know i'm gutless to ever talk about it...sigh...happiness mixed with sadness ? what a weird combination.

Term 2
well well the school holidays are over...the first day of school is over.....and wah lah i find myself slacking at Danny's on e second day instead of being in school for lessons, but wait...there are no lessons...just the dumb o2 for the lousy shit second intakers who have kicked out friends of many..i'm just glad most of the people i know are staying and those on appeal all made it back like terence and most of the ruggers.. quite sad for matthias tho from what i hear he's still trying to appeal but chances not high. -sigh- anyway life's been going great ever since I came back from the malaysia trip.

on saturday had the usual weights appointment with ian ( minus zihon ) then went to buy my RJ uniform with danny...just nice could cut josiah's queue heh..anyway Jo's girlfriend is bigger and broader den him ! quite weird but its alright lar love transcends boundaries right ? went to play pool with huifang and siewjun after that...ok i must admit that my pool sucks big time..haha both of us lost to siewjun ArgH...out of practice i guess do too much weights already...

spent sunday camping at borders and doing situps in the gym in the morning...*yawn* bought arnie's bodybuilding book...

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL - well well it sure as hell got off to a good start...was wearing my new rj uniform felt damn good no more shorts hahaha..first person i saw : Alvin Tan... haha i got an "URPZ..." from him but yeah he said i looked alright... talked to e chinese high softballers everyone was changed out already only huihan who still wore shorts ... he was the centre of attraction haha... class was alright lar got back GP essay ..not bad i got an A...flunk economics essay test though aye i must really buck up on economics this year. did weights in e afternoon with dom and ian....shoulders and biceps...feeling the pump...growing again...finally... went to coffee bean with her after that...talked about stuff everything under e sun..her HSSRP thing...econs...Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool...it just feels so natural and great to be together with her don't feel uneasy and that sort of thing. went back with her after that...at the bus stop we were talking about Alvin and huishan, but we hardly talked about each other..this is the topic that i can hardly seem to bridge across.. well at least i know that she was never attached...she thought i was before....but i had to admit that i was too loser....well maybe i shouldn't call it loser..it just didn't feel right in the past...i also have no idea if we're both ready and have the time to commit to a relationship....siewjun says that we're as good as being attached but she just doesn't want to admit it..... i don't know..just take things as it comes...focus on things within my control for now....talked somemore at night online.........

aye i better end off here...alvin tan is on the way here and England vs Scotland just started...
