Was away to Pulau Ubin recently for a school camp. What I never knew was there's actually a chalet there. (Some of you may want to go,"You didn't know?" by now) So without further ado, here's some photos.

Went to watch the Knowing. The new movie release that prophecises the End of the World, where John (Nicolas Cage) manages to decipher the horrific hidden truths behind a series of numbers left in a Time Capsule by a student 50 years ago. He then gripples at the fact of horrific accidents that are yet to happen as the predicitions come true one by one till which at the end the numbers run out, which can only mean one thing. Armegeddon.

Honestly speaking, movie was great except I found the ending to be a lil crappy. You have to watch it to find out. However I've said that, there was one scene in particular that had left me trembling in my seat - the subway accident. The scene started with a speeding subway train going off course when a rails didn't align and caused it to tip and turn. The train just crashed into another one in the underground station which it then bounces off onto the platform and crushing all the commuters awaiting for trains. As I watched it, I really wished it was over as fast as it started. It felt so REAL.

Then, there was the Lucinda's Numbers. The numbers that were written by the girl 50 years before John's son uncovered it. These numbers happened to coincide with major accidents that taken numerous lives over the past 50 years. The last sequence of numbers, as deciphered, was the end of the world. Depicted as a catastrophic event involving solar flares so strong that would strike the Earth and would wipe out the entire solar system.



The thing that is scary is that this event of our Sun's solar flares is really happening. Or might I say will happen. As usual, I went online to do some research of my own. A major solar flare that will actually affect planet Earth, will happen in 2012 as predicted by scientists from NASA. That's 3 years from now! Scientists says that this may not be dangerous to Earth however there might be an electrical outage worldwide. Other sources predict that the Earth will come to an end. I've provided you with a link to a 3 parts documentary from Hallmark channel. It's about how the Mayan Calendar have prophecised this event in 2012 as a disastrous event that will wipe out life on Earth. In other words, Armageddon. Archaelogists have deciphered and came to a date 21st of December 2009 as the day that Earth will experience a polar shift, due to the Sun's solar flares, so bad that it will cause several natural disasters to strike in many areas at one time.

Did that freak you out?
If that doesn't, here's another that might. A comet almost striked Earth a few days ago and no news of this occurence was made known to the public. Although it was traveling past at millions of miles away, it was still closer to Earth than the moon is.

While you are still freaked out with these events, alil more won't hurt right?
Emails have been circulated about another Tsunami occurence off the seas of Japan. Likelihood of this happening is on the 22th of July 2009, which is the same day most parts of South-East Asia will experience a solar eclipse. No concrete evidence such as warning alerts are evident to prove that the Tsunami will occur however, the Solar Eclipse will still.



As qouted from Wikipedia,

" The solar eclipse that will take place on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 will be a total eclipse of the Sun with a magnitude of 1.080 that will be visible from a narrow corridor through northern India eastern Nepal, northern Bangladesh, Bhutan, the northern tip of Myanmar, central China and the Pacific Ocean, including Ryukyu Islands, Marshall Islands and Kiribati. Totality will be visible in many cities such as Surat, Varanasi, Patna, Thimphu, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Hangzhou and Shanghai. A partial eclipse will be seen from the much broader path of the Moon's penumbra, including most of South East Asia and north-eastern Oceania.

This solar eclipse is the longest total solar eclipse that will occur in the twenty-first century, and will not be surpassed in duration until June 13, 2132. Totality will last for up to 6 minutes and 39 seconds, with the maximum eclipse occurring in the ocean at 02:35:21 UTC about 100 km south of the Bonin Islands, southeast of Japan. The North Iwo Jima island is the landmass with totality time closest to maximum."


So will the Earth end in 2012? God knows.
Where will you be when it does?

"Try not to bring your friend home much these days"

That was what his Dad told him.

"We want family privacy time"

What privacy time? All he knew was that his Dad too brought his friends over to their home. They'd stay late into the night at the living room maybe talking or singing karaoke or something that wasn't anything family-ish. Now, he's asking to have family privacy time. It's not the family time that he was disturbed by. It's the privacy. All this time he knew that when he brought Andy home would be late into the night, after a movie or supper, when his family's already asleep. And occassionally, Andy would meet his folks when he wakes up the next day. Andy would spend most of time together in his room. Mike knew that Andy, although a regular visitor to his home, was still a little nervous about meeting his folks. So how would that have affected privacy?

"What now?' he thought to himself. Mike didn't know what to do. Part of him was angry with his Dad. Part of him is confused as of what to be done now. He'd want to tell Andy right away. He had never kept any secrets from Andy. But this was a little hard for him to say. It was like telling him to stay away from the house. Even how nicely he'd try to phrase it, it would all mean the same. Stay Away. Mike was lost at what he had to do. He knew it was a lose-lose situation. If he'd not tell Andy, it would mean that he would be keeping a secret from him but if Mike did tell him, then Andy would be so much more affected that he'd actually stay away from his house and there goes their personal time with each other.

Several times he did want to tell Andy but he ignored the calling. He finally chose to kept it from Andy. It was already so hard to actually start a conversation about it. He had thought about the same thing that had happened with him and Andrew in the past. Mike didn't want to have history repeated. He was scared Andy would do the same. First he'd say things like, "We better go home our own ways. I respect your Dad's request." Then, he'd start using it as an excuse to not come over. Then, it would just be less private moments together and things get distant and more distant. Till there wasn't anymore. That was how things was with him and Andrew.

However, Mike knew that he wouldn't be able to keep this "secret" from Andy forever. He knew that day would come but little did he expect that that day was sooner that he thought. Andy got so angry at Mike for keeping it from him all this while. Mike knew that Andy would never face his family the same way again. That was the other reason why he didn't want to tell. They went their own separate homes that day. Home used to be at Mike's.

Hurt. Angry. Sad. Dissappointed. And many other confused feelings.

Lying in his bed, Mike thought to himself.
"Why can't he understand that it was hard for me to tell?....Why can't he understand that it wasn't easy keeping it from him?....Yet I understand how he feels. Why?"

He needed the warmth of a hug because that night felt like the longest cold night that he'd ever encountered. This was just the beginning of such nights.

Who doesn't know Ricky Martin right? The controversial star of which till now many are still puzzled with his sexual orientation. Some sources claimed he's outed but not by himself but by his own hair stylist. Some sources (hardcore fans) denies the allegations that he's gay and brushes away all suspicions. Photos of him on a beach getaway with a hot latino guy and never has anyone seen him with a grilfriend stirs up a greater speculation.



Well, well, well....now he's a father of two twin sons through a surrogate mother, now Ricky has finally become a proud parent and father to two newborn boys. He's gonna be dedicating his remaining years away from spotlight to care for his new babies.





I think he's gay. What more proof is needed here. What do you think?
...your rainbow will come shining through

Romantic is when a 70 year old man asks his wife of 65 to dance to their special song. Romantic is when you receive a yellow rose on every anniversary since the day you met your life partner (By the way, that's what Beckham is doing for Victoria). Romantic is lying down hand in hand under the stars by the beach. It is moments when your phone beeps and a message received that read, "I love you..." and then a second beep and another message that read,"Forever and always".

I'm not a Don Juan or neither am I Casanova. But I know the context of romance and being romantic as learnt from all the years of reading about it in books and watching movies like Serendipity - by the way is my favourite. On the scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most romantic, I'd give myself a 7. I find that I like all things to be romantic when it comes to courting or being in a relationship. I like to make things as romantic as it can be, and at the same time memorable. Not all the time was it a success. I do fail sometimes to create that special romantic moment. However it has never stopped me from trying one.

I've found that Romance and Love doesn't always coexist. For instance, two can be in love but there may or may not be a romance. I'm not talking about the kissing and the sex. Like how sometimes a nag a husband thinks his wife can be but they still stick together throughout their entire marriage. There may not be romance but the love is what that kept them together.

You're both all alone. You look at your him. You look at his face, studies his features. You see that the most beautiful person is sitting right beside you now and you smile to yourself. You say,"I'm lucky I have you" to yourself. You hope that he notices what you're doing from the corner of his eyes. You hope he turns and look you in the eyes, smiling and you hope that he says,"I love you". Then, he notices you're looking and he turns. On the contrary he asks, "What's the matter with you?" and the romance bubble popped. You said,"Oh nothing"  disappointed but then he says,"I love you". You smile back. You saw that the romance may have gone but you also saw that love still sustains.

That was what I learnt today.
