damage is alr done .. ppl are hurt alr ... saying sorry doesnt seem to have any cure now .. resigning ( or even sacking her) may be the best way out ...

 

it's like i slap purposely .. den i say sorry .. den expected to let thematter rest .. no way balls

 

its for the gd of the team ..... for the gd of STTA as well ... also for the good of our future medals hopes ....

seriously, what has she done that is so grave that everyone is calling for her resignation? I think she has every right being the head, to sack anyone if it is reasonable.

what have you found out so far that you think she was WRONG in making that decision? maybe she is guilty of being insensitive or untimely, but is her decision totally wrong? What's going on inside? There are some players who felt that AL and LGD are bias and unfair, and they have been unfairly treated. I'm just saying maybe LBW's decision is not totally wrong.

:DD go paddlers go! i'll be cheering for sure!

Impressive. zhang yi mou is so brilliant!

by the way, the line up was according to the no. of strokes of the chinese character, not hanyu pinyin. XIN = 12 strokes i think.

if they havnt exploited info com tech. u think our internet access can get so cheap to let those people wif nuttin to do to keep opposing just because they feel like during their free time?

 

many people often take things for granted. forgetting about the good that pap have done and is doing and nitpicking on those small bits.

 

think about it. if the govt havnt taxed us. our street lights would still have wires hanging arnd them, we would still have many unsafe drains. we would have totally no barriors to protect us from clifts and such. so many more things..

 

you are right that we should give them credit. but that's their job isn't it? i mean, you are on a million dollar payroll err...should we expect mediocrity ??

you know i woudn't say 66.6% (i'm not sure about the figure) was happy with the reigning party, but i'm quite certain out of their votes, a certain percentage belonged to an unconcerned group. a group who doesn't care about politics and voted for the incumbent because it had been 'the way' all along. and may i highlight, that there are even more reasons (than simply out of support) that voters went with the current gahmen, some beliefs like 'don't want trouble coz they will know' , housing values etc. so even though they may not support the incumbent, they will still vote for them due to other reasons. It is not easy for the opp to secure a win.. at least not without knowing there's still a huge percentage of the unconcerns out there. and i think they had done an excellent job on giving us 'a choice' last GE, because 'the concerns'  were finally able to show their displeasures from the results of falling support rates across the island.

talking about us getting poorer? yes.

He noted, "Eventually, I believe we will win Hougang back, but whether we do or not, I think (we should) serve the people. That's what we are here for."

when i took a walk down blk 5 banda st in chinatown where alot of poor elderly stayed, i don't see how their estate is being improved. i saw dark walkways, most of their flats are really in poor condition. look, i am thankful for the covered walkways in my estate, i don't need a revamped letterbox.. if its funds you are lacking (i don't see how).. then prioritise it! and that area is not even in the opp ward. what? are they forgotten or what? they are old they are poor, the least we can do is to help make living conditions better for them.. its not too tough to look into these areas. i cannot never understand what the mp in that area is doing...

have you seen today's wan bao? where low retorted goh's statement about winning back HG..

"i have no crystal ball so i won't know...maybe they have.." LOL

don't understand why he is making such statements at such sensitive time when the people's morale is low and the outlook bleak...

either he is erm... ageing... fast.. or *pats* helping the opp team.. LOL

i'd like to see a 3-1. the odds are better LOL

anyway.. anyone buying on croatia for the championship?

i'm hoping for a croatia-holland final

That turned out to be a dream within a dream. I "woke up" to find 4 of my teeth broken. I tried to telephone my dentist several times in desperation as it was near closing time but nobody answered. That's where it ended.

I don't want read too much into it, and I'm glad my teeth are actually intact!

I 've had such dreams too about losing my teeth, i read in dreams interpretation, i think they mentioned something like fear of growing old? or something to do with looks...

well.. seems like it :)

Tiring, right?  Imagine dreaming every single day since July 2007 and that's how weary I am. 

So i'm not the only one. I'm so tired. I've had dreams almost every other night. Sometimes i get sleep paralysis, i think i'm so mentally tired. Is there a cure to it? I'm thinking of a MRI scan but not if i can save my brain cells, is there a way to sleep well?

I dreamt of a crashing helicopter last night and 3 people were dead, i dreamt i crossed the door of hell the night before, and that day, i confirmed colors in my dreams, as i remembered the clear blue sea.

Most times, my dreams are so morbid i think nightmares don't seem significant anymore. I've had lucid dreamings, and sometimes i don't know why i even bother to sleep when i know it's not even proper rest at all.

I tried to take naps but that's the time i'm most prone to sleep paralysis, and i'm scared of it. I've had scary hallucinations from it. i envy people who sleep well..

how about.. Audition...

This is in wiki:

Audition had its share of audience walk-outs. When shown at the 2000 Rotterdam Film Festival, one enraged woman viewer confronted Miike by shouting at him: "You're evil!" During uncensored members-only shows at the Irish Film Institute in Dublin in 2001, some patrons collapsed in apparent shock. One audience member was rushed to the St. James's Hospital but later discharged himself.

woah.. sure i'm getting this .. sounds unbelievably shocking.

anyone watch Hostel I & II? good stuff that one..

so was Chasing Amy ...

haha my boss, he's really one of his kind.

He will ask me what is his msn email account for the 999th time.

He will call back to office and ask me to pass the message to another colleague to call the customer to call him and he said it was urgent. He just couldn't ask me for the number to make the call himself.

which makes smart boss seems like an oxymoron.

so.. is an enforced "good" good at all?

now what i personally feel is that the "good" itself is very subjective. I'd say no.

as much as we want to live in a no crime society, we don't want to live in a 1984.

Thanks for all the recommendations :)

yep i enjoyed all Kevin Smith's, and Stanley Kubrick's too.

elindra, the closest i get to hindi was Deepa Mehta's Water, and it was really good!

Hi everyone :)

i'm a great fan of foreign films, so does anyone here have anything good to recommend?

A few that i really like are Das Boot (Germany), Broken Wings (Israel), Blind Shaft (China), Crying out love in the centre of the world (Japan), Love me if you dare (France), Monsieur Shlomi(Monaco) etc

How about cult films? any must-watch?
