west brom 0 - 3 newcastle
EPL Wk 11 was capped off wonderfully this morn wif a 3-0 win by Newcastle over West Brom. Who else to score but Michael Owen(twice somemore!) and Alan Shearer! It's the beginning of the revival of the sleeping giant who was struggling at the bottom of the table and losing and drawing for almost 2 mths before all the injured star players returned back to the starting line-up.
Now wif less injuries to the 1st XI of Newcastle to cope, seems like my fav team has one of the strongest midfield in the EPL(of course compared wif Chelsea is one hell of a difference larz). Still missing out Luque through injury, we have Emre, Solano, Parker, N'Zogbia, Dyer and Bowyer. The backline is weak as usual but it's been already like this for 10yrs so I guess it's not an easy task for the manager larz. All that matters to me is tt they score more than they concede and win the game =P.
Another wonderful result is none other than the 4-1 thrashing of Man Utd by Middlesborough. Throughout the game Man-U din seem to be going to be getting anything out of the game. There seemed to be a lack of hunger for victory from the Man-U players. There was no control in the midfield by Man-U's over-the-hill Scholes and the acting-to-be-like-Keane, Alan Smith. Man-U certainly miss their full-backs Neville and Heinze very badly. The wonderful thing abt the game is the blunders made by the think-he's-so-great Ferdinand somemore right in front of Mclaren of all people, whaha.
Tottenham's 1-1 draw wif Arsenal, hmm, what should I say, a fair result for the game I guess. Arsenal, like Man-U, are in a total mess, being overrun by the opposing team. Tottenham grabbed the first goal thru a beautiful header by King(King of North London as the commentator said) from a free kick. Tottenham was threatening to finish the game off with a second goal and Arsenal look to be losing this derby match for sure at half time. Disappointingly, Tottenham began to attack less in the 2nd half and Arsenal, desperate for at least a draw, made a few substitutions and sparked some nice attacks for the equaliser. I just wonder if it was Jol's idea to defend the lead larz, if so, he deserved not to win the match lorz.
Hmm, Chelsea wins again? 4-2?!? Lampard scores again!?! Top scorer of EPL at the moment is a midfielder? He's a monster now sia. Playing in every Chelsea match so far, running all over the pitch for almost the full game, scoring so many goals, is he going to stop? How far can his fitness bring him? I wonder really...

moral vs logic
There, the hot topic for our platoon for this wk. The debaters for this round are Kok Boon, Yuan Sheng, Cheng Hon and me. Our discussion actually began about what else but Christianity again. Here are some 'facts' that are stated in the Bible...God is all-knowing(what I understand from this is he literally knows EVERYTHING), God has laid a path for everyone, those who do not believe in God will go to hell(what i understand from this is, non-Christians all go to hell), Jesus is coming back again really soon.
Well, I just want to make this clear that I'm a Buddhist so I'm not really sure about the teachings of the Bible larz. What I hear from my Christian friend is that God knows all the choices we will make since God is all-knowing. This brings about my curiosity, if God already laid our path and he knows the choices that we'll make, then why do people say we make our own decisions? For e.g, God has already laid my path, knows that I'll be a Buddhist, meaning he knew all along that I'll go to hell, then why create me?
From there, we go on to talk about during a wartime in our country and our wife is pregnant, will we let the child be born or abort it if possible? Most of us will think in the moral sense, that the child deserves a chance to live and we shudn't take it's life without giving it the chance to try to survive the war and live on. But not Kok Boon. His pt of view is not wrong either, just that he thinks of it in a very very logically way. He will abort the child if possible, not giving it a chance to try to survive the war. His reasons? No matter how successful the child may grow up to be, maybe do great things which will help mankind etc etc, it's life is worthless before the child is born. He would not take the chance (i.e, the chances of the child surviving the war) and kill the child before it is born. He would rather not let the child suffer during the wartime even if he'll survive it. Well, most of us find it quite cruel of course, taking a life away without giving it the chance of fighting for it's survival. This is a question of moral vs logic lorz. The interesting thing about this is that when you think morally, you might not make the right decision as compared to a logical decision. For e.g, if you need to kill a person in order to be successful, logically you'll do that and you'll be successful. But morally? You will not kill the person and you won't be successful lorz.
From the suggestion that our lives are worthless, Kok Boon tells us something sort of like a fact of life. Why did our mums give birth to us? Of course, one main reason is cos of her love for our dad larz. The other very practical reason? So that we can take care of her when she's old lorz. Hmm, what about her love for us most of us would ask? How can she love you if you're not even born yet? *sucker punch*

wake me up when september ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when september ends
Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when september ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when september ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when september ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when september ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when september ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when september ends
Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when september ends

back from exile, back to blogging
After mths of Linkin Park blogskin, decided to revert back to one of the templates provided by blogger.com cos I'm lazy to make my own, haha. Wanted to make a Naruto-themed blogskin but looking at the source codes, I think I'm not motivated enough now to figure them out, lol.
I decided to host my fav theme song from Naruto on my webby so that it can be played here lorz, haha. Naruto fans will feel for the song cos it's always used in the anime on sad occasions, especially when the main character recalls his very sad, lonely past. It's been a 150+ episodes I've followed so far and I dun see where the story is heading to actually. The end seems nowhere near.
Anyway, I've brought my guitar back to camp so that I can train wif it when I'm free/bored and can also consult the semi-pros available for advice lorz. There's suddenly a craze to master musical instruments in my platoon. We share the same floor as platoon 6 and we've managed to borrow Wei Tao's elec keyboard on a long-term basis I suppose, since he currently doesn't have the intention to take it back yet (thanx sia, you're the man!). I've mastered part of Canon in D but am having problems memorising the rest of it. The song is quite long and sadly, I haven't reached the chorus yet, haha. A few of my platoon mates are currently on Fur Elise fever.
Out of camp, I'm currently taking driving lessons wif a private instructor. Still have problems wif moving off from stationary position lorz, sianz. Think the instructor keeps reminding me of many things he taught but I'm not practising until he puke blood I think, but he still very patient wif me lorz, ha. Also, I'm still working on my webby esp in the advertising aspect so that maybe it can earn me an income while I'm studying in future? Also duno why lorz, many ppl ard me seems to be in one kind of business or another whether it be MLM or something else... Made me realise that I probably should start thinking about earning an income le...
Went to watch GOAL! wif Hong, Pat and Alex at Cine on Friday nite aft book out. The past wk has been quite eventful in the sense that I keep bumping into friends that I've lost touch wif here and there. First it was our nights off on Wednesday and I saw Shu Jun when walking towards JP. Then it was Wendy on the MRT from JE on Friday on my way to Orchard. After the show, I saw Jerry at Cine. Today, went out wif my bro and dad for dinner at Marina Square and saw Yi En, Qiu Jie and Shu Jun. Kind of glad to see them though, really miss not seeing many of my friends... Hope to bump into more of them in the near future...haha...
