Airbus A380-800 *pictures below*

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... went to the Asian Aerospace 2006 yesterday... the final one before it moves to Hong Kong. The flying display witht he F-15 and F-16 jet fighters really was amazing with all those quick extreme moves executed professionally by the pilots... then the A380 took the limelight and at first we were all like... ok that's really "fast" and was thinking like... any extreme moves from this massive metal bird??? The A380 is really one massive piece of history... and its worth seeing it fly with your own eyes...

The static display area where the A380 sits requires a short one minute bus ride tot he cargo apron... and the queue for the bus took 30 minutes... hahahz... and the worst part was that we had to wait over an hour before the bird came slowly moving into its display area... the reason was that it needed refilling... gosh... although i am pro Boeing... the A380 really just takes your breath away... although not as sexy as the A340-500 and B777-200LR or as graceful as the B747-400... this bird will leave you in awe just on its sheer size... the tail... the engines... the fuselage... arggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

After being scorched by the afternoon sun... i proceeded to SPF for band... and everyone was like... how come u so late then come but u so red??? hahahahahz... well i wanted to be there after lunch... but the wait for the A380 to show itself on static display was a die die must wait... celebrated jospeh's birthday with a dinner at Pizza Hut... the waiters there was like all attitude and all... manage to get Monkey a present in time... hahahaz...

Then after that... it was like laughters and picture taking at Starbucks... really crazy... took lotsa pictures... and we're like darn noisey... but who cares!!!

great song... heavenly diva

Whitney Houston - Greatest Love Of All

I believe the children are our are future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend on me

Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

(Chorus)

And if by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love

The Letter




this shortfilm is directed by Justin Kan and produced by Dex Tan
sad but it reflects on our society and culture on how we are unable to accept same gender love.

the film also shows how sometimes teenagers are unable to move on with life...

Just thoughts...

Hello people, well i just did some studying on my Travel and Tour Operations and well, i've decided to write out somethign today since this blog is getting kinda rusty. Oh what an easy yet difficult subject i must say. the concept is there and its solid as a rock, but to use these concepts and apply them and answer those exam questions is altogether another matter. sometimes competition to be the best or among the best is really sick and tiring, it really uts one under alot of pressure and well... how should i phrase it... in this modern society we're all pushed to be good in many areas and hence the phrase jack of all trades but master of none.

I once watched a japanese cartoon movie, Whisper of the Heart whereby the lead actor says, i want to be a violin maker, but i know there are countless masters of violin makers out there... and yet again in CNA, the australian government has yet again push back the decision on whether to allow SIA to fly the lucrative australian - usa route. and the reason behind all these is qantas, the australian airline who have for so long flown this route without major competition is claiming that such competition will hurt its profits and the airline is still not fully recovered from the "evil" effects it had suffered... what a load of crap i say.

A few days ago, qi zheng ask me what is the meaning of Justice and Freedom... well i pass it off as the song from gundam... but he rephrase it and ask what is justice and freedom to me... ha... the truth is i was lost for words... the feeling of both words caught me unprepared and i have no words to write that can describe how i feel about them... let me face them again and tell you what these two words mean to me.

JUSTICE
- its about righteousness... the principles of teaching from young... the principle of moral rightness and upholding of what is just. it all comes down to the way we judge things... how we are brought to look at things in life... is it just to take one's life and the taker gets no blame or punishment... then lets look at it in another point of light... who in the first place states that taking a life means and bearing no consequence is just??? and to think that taking one's life whos life is filled with suffering and pain is also unjust. i believe justice is judged by oneself whether by true conscience whether any issue in concern is just. for me, cheating is unjust, so is muder and getting away with it... but i think that a person who is sufferign from all the pain in the world has all the right in the world to take his or her own life... it is after all one's final judgement on whether to live life in such pain and suffering or to end it all... justice to me is being fair, it means gettign what you deserve and for those who get somethign they didn't earn through their own means, its unjust. justice is therefore to me... my own judgement on what is right and wrong. but how is a man to judge himself and others???

being just is also subjective, what may be just to me may be unjust to you... take the case of that australian drug trafficker who was hung in singapore... many australian find that such laws are too much and it is unjust to take one's life just because of this... but think again what if those drugs gets into australia and its your kids, your australian people that pays the price of those drugs... imagine your teenager getting into drugs... will you cry out load that hangin him is unjust when it happens???

FREEDOM
- it means the capability and right in doing something which your heart desires and that being just. freedom is being not tied down by burdens of the mind and soul... its to really feel and enjoy and be aware of your environment and think... this place and feeling is wonderful... but freedom doesnt come easy... it has to be associated with laws. laws that protect our freedom... do you think you will be able to taste freedom of this world if someone were to shoot you down, and get away with it??? freedom is being protected by laws that ensure your well being... freedom to me is also the feeling where by i have no worries to think about, i do not have to worry about the things on my grades or even friends... freedom comes in little packages that just takes you away for a while once a while... its never a long term thing... i often hear kids saying... i finally have the freedom to go out late.. no need to be home by 3pm or so... is that freedom??? what happens when you are out there playing with all those work at home waiting to be done once your freedom ends... often people say i have all the freedom in the world... so what are you gonna do about it??? with freedom comes choices... u can idle your life away or do something meaningful... freedom gives me moments of excitment, laughter, and moments of exhilaration to enjoy my life as it is...


and finally.. the truth of all truth... up till now... i still don't really understand what these two words are... really... what do they mean is the feeling that is undescriable
