我回来了，有人会发现吗？

不能问和不能说是一样的吗？
Should not I/all Singaporeans feel as happy for Singapore’s Birthday as though it is our Birthdays too?
If we could be so happy during her Birthdays, why can’t we be as happy during Singapore’s Birthdays?
I think I will reflect about this and maybe next year this day if I still remember this post, I will manage to make myself really happy :)
I don’t think I need to explain why NDP makes me feel “Singaporean”, but why does it makes me feel “not-Singaporean” too? That’s because theoretically speaking I have never been involved in any NDPs.
The 3 times I was “involved” was when:
1. The Primary 5 National Education show
2. Being a performer in the pre-parade
3. Catching one of the previews (without fireworks type) 2 years back
So this means that all my life, I have only watched the actual NDP on TV and it makes no difference if I watch it in Singapore or overseas, whether I am Singaporean or not isn’t it?
I have another question, and it would be in the next post :P
I have remained as See Me Not.
Banners, caps and cushions are your best friends when there’s no way you could hide from the camera.
And I thought Jean and I looked like the sofa at 0:16 of the video, complete with the green cushion.
We knew right from the start that the world’s complicated.
But ain’t there people who continued to believe in Simplicity?
But Simplicity itself is a complicated issue too, it is complicated if it requires you to pursue it.
So it’s complicated, now what’s not?

Look at them! When the camera came, everyone ran away. I turned back and saw no one near my 3m radius except for the camera crew. There they were, laughing. Tsk tsk. 真够意思hor?
I had no idea where they were actually, because my cap covered my whole face. It’s easier to be #1 in queue than to speak into the mic for Snail.
This is just how limited my music library is. But it’s okay. Every year I will add 1 album and it will just keep on expanding.
The song just suddenly played in my brain, it is as relevant as you assumed it to be and it is as irrelevant as you take it to be.
For the ones who understand me well enough, you will share my interpretation and for those who don’t, it’s okay. The SMN’s about letting different readers have different interpretations; no wonder someone said that SMN talks in riddles.
我不配 (词:方文山)
这街上太拥挤 太多人有秘密
玻璃上有雾气在背影照进过去
你脸上的情绪 在还原那场雨
这笑容太过弯曲走不回故事里
这日子不再绿 又斑驳了几句
剩下半空回忆的我在大房子里
电影院的座椅 隔遥远的距离
感情没有对手戏你跟自己下棋
还来不及仔仔细细写下你的关于
描述我如何爱你 你却微笑的离我而去
这感觉 已经不对 我努力在挽回
一些些 应该体贴的感觉 我没给
你嘟嘴 许的愿望很卑微 在妥协
是我忽略 你不过要人陪
这感觉 已经不对 我最后才了解
一页页 不忍翻阅的情节 你好累
你默背 为我掉过几次泪 多憔悴
而我心碎你受罪 你的美 我不配
Sounds wrong. Never mind. Haha.
不是离开，只是想试着逃回原来的世界。但是该做的事我依然会继续办妥，因为这是我的责任。
想单纯地看电视，现阶段的我，放不下，所以几乎是不可能的。
就算不心疼她，不特别注意她，有了私心的我很难客观地分析，单纯地享受了。
我，天生反骨。所以我得跑出来，喘口气，静下心来。我有我的倔强，也有我自己的叛逆；我的叛逆让我很容易写些多半是赌气多过本意的话，我的倔强让我不可能(承认)后悔。他们说这是意气用事；是敏感，是失望，还是在意呢？
我最不想的是对一部我满怀期待了将近11个月的剧集反感，尤其当一切只因自己无谓的赌气与失望。
一个巴掌拍不响，冰冻三尺也绝非一日之寒。
尝试努力与努力尝试是有不同的。当你只是一味尝试努力时，一次两次三次的挫败或许就能让你心灰意冷，让你后悔，让你不再试着将这冰墙融化了。
但当你努力尝试时，失败却总是在意料之内，相对的，冰墙融化的可能性就成为你继续去尝试的推动力。
要尝试，要努力，本来就不容易；更何况是努力地去尝试呢？
我不想因为失望，倔强或任何的原因而有所偏见。我只想好好地，尽可能的享受这部剧，所以我跑出来了。不管我有没有资格，我真的没事。

I found out that I don’t suit comedies when I only laughed once in the last comedy I caught in theaters – Bruce Almighty.
I thought it was pathetic, so there and then, I stopped watching comedies in theaters.
I think I actually laughed more in the recent movie I caught – Inception, than I did for Bruce Almighty.
Now the thing is, Bruce Almighty might have been funnier, but when my brain recognises a movie as a comedy, the threshold for laughing increases unreasonably.
I am one who has unreasonably high expectations and demands when watching movies in theaters. The environment and atmosphere of watching a movie in theaters matters a lot to me. Basically, my level of anticipation and expectations are correlated.
And when the environment isn’t right, the best show won’t be right for me. So was the case for Unriddle’s preview at Settlers. It won’t be right no matter what when you start running on the wrong track.

I would scream for you like I screamed for him, whole 2.5 hours.
And make the tears x2, at least :)

I always appreciate expression of one’s thoughts and views.
Compared to people who are indifferent, nonchalant or simply apathetic, those who expresses their opinion are more “alive” and “humane” to me.
But some times, to say isn’t better than to not say. Because we don’t have to stoop to their level. Surely we need to defend at times, but only if you can put up a convincing fight. If not, you are better off refining your skills, sharpening your sword and toughening your shield before you join in the next time round.
I’ve said this before,
一动不如一静.
Sometimes, inaction could be the best action after all :)

Don’t you think so?
The existence of Black is to contrast White and let us appreciate White better.
Well, if you think that SMN’s posts are pretty demoralising, the good thing is, it can’t get worse ;)
I wasn’t there, I wasn’t here before 2007. But enough has happened after that to make me realise how important it is for us fans to be humble.
Remember the shock when she missed out on the Best Actress’s nomination in 2007?
Remember the despair we had after she “rejected” The Defining Moment? When we no longer had the right to complain or even request, when all we could do was to wait, wait and pray?
And how about the heartache when the fancied Yuhang missed her first row seat? Or the numerous voting competitions, none of which we were fancied to win? Doesn’t matter we won most eventually, it’s worth rejoicing but nothing to be proud of; life goes on and we still ain’t fancied to win.
Sometimes I wonder if we even have any reason to not be humble. “Lux Veritas” is not yet a present tense. Even if it does become one finally, it doesn’t comes with lifelong guarantee.
I need a reminder or two at times too, but we will do fine together. Graciousness and humility, keep these in constant check :)
One day I will say/ask this and then smile and nod at the same time :)

Why is it that the star we so love can seem as though it no longer shines..
Because the backdrop so black that supports and allows it to shine has changed..
Giving way to the bright daylight and the star is no longer the only thing that is bright..
The star didn’t lose its shine..
It’s still there, but not with our naked eyes..
So this is why, you walk away into the shade, and never look up into the sky or try..
The very moment I thought I understood was the very moment I didn’t.
The very moment I thought I could be detached was the very moment I was sucked in.
The very moment I thought it was lovely was the very moment it was getting ugly.
The very moment I thought has arrived was the very moment that will never come.
The very moment I thought will never arrive was the very moment that came at the blink of eye.
This very moment, I thought of nothing, of nothing you thought I would be.
I know yet I don’t, but I know you don’t, or maybe you do? Still, whether you do or not is, n.o.m.b..

I knew that the person couldn’t be trusted but I am terribly disgusted to discover the extensive lies told.
It doesn’t matter too much to me since I never trusted this person in the first place, but what if this person has been lying not just to me and everyone else, but……
For a person who has been wearing a changeable mask, how true and real can this person be? There better not be any harm or hurt, there better not be.

I have always felt indignant whenever my GP tutor (as in teacher) generalises us back in JC days. But now I wonder if my indignation was even justified to begin with.
I wouldn’t say I am a concerned youth, and these days, I pretty much regard myself as apathetic too; yet at the same time, I feel that the label “apathetic” on some other youths might actually be a compliment for them. They are not just unconcerned, they are selfish and self-centered.
Perhaps we all are, but has this situation worsened?
