Oh, come on!

Two unrelated pieces of news.

First, Mr Federer again. The French Open starts in less than a week. Yay! And I came across this article, 'Federer confident ahead of Paris'. Of course, Mr Federer is always confident. After all, he is world #1, what. Here is how a confident man speaks:
'I don't think I need to do much more (to beat Nadal)...'

'I win so much I can handle a defeat (to Nadal) every now and again... Nadal's a very good player, and still young, and I think it will be between the two of us at the French Open.'

Right, he will be in the final. Do note that the tournament hasn't started yet.

Well, at least he did concede that 'Nadal's a very good player'.

Now, the other article, 'Madonna blasted for concert crucifixion'. Singing with a crown of thorns while 'crucified'?? What's the big idea?

It's sad that talented people are sometimes so wrapped up in themselves that they forget about the other beings who live on the same earth, and the Great Being Who made the earth.

this woman will not respect anyone she doesn't want to, cos she's a filthily rich woman to do what she wants. her "confession" world tour this year alone is said to bring her $200 mil! she has the power to do what she wants, especially against christianity as she's always been criticised by the catholics since eons ago. this is her way of getting back, i guess.

sounds sick, but this is the reality in a capitalised world. if you are rich, you can get away with everything in america. that's why there's the term "rich man's justice". a classic eg, OJ Simpson's case.

there's no real justice in this world. justice is with God, in the everlasting life, not this mortal life.

Hi Dee
Yeah, I guess it all began when she decided to take on the name 'Madonna'.

Oooh... $200 million... well, there are certainly many, many, many people out there who appreciate her...

A lesson in love

I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world. -Mother Teresa Most of the time my eyes just glaze over when I see article upon article of football news. One caught my glazing eye over the weekend, though - 'De la Cruz - Mother Theresa in boots' , because of the familiar name. Mother Teresa, that is. It was the first time I’d ever heard of this de la Cruz guy, an EPL player who hails from Ecuador (GNI per capita US$2,630; as a comparison, Singapore’s is US$27, 490 – source: BBC country profiles ). His is a great story to illustrate that famous Chinese saying about not forgetting your roots. According to the article, ‘Each month a proportion of that salary (about S$150,000) Reading pay him - be it 10 per cent in January or 20 per cent in February - goes direct to the village’ (where he grew up). (Picture and profile from here ) Here's what he has been credited for: 1. 'The 2002 World Cup,' de la Cruz reflects, 'finan...

True train school

‘Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire. These are the things to fear, said the headmaster.’ How would you like to have such a headmaster? I finally re-read (read it first as a teenager) Totto-chan, The Little Girl at the Window , a ‘school story’ by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, translated by Dorothy Britton. Totto-chan is the name Tesuko Kuroyanagi called herself, and the book is about her life during her school days at Tomoe Gakuen. Totto-chan was expelled from her first elementary school because of her ‘disruptive’ behaviour, which included constantly opening and closing her desk top (because she was so thrilled by it), ‘vandalising’ her desk (because there wasn’t enough space on the piece of paper to draw) and standing by the classroom window waiting for street musicians to pass by or talking to swallows. Her mother, although probably alarmed about the ...

When the best man doesn't win

Speaking of 'sway' spurned lovers, the latest one I've come across is in Love Revolution ( only 12 episodes!), a J show I recently watched. Heroine of the story is pretty, 30-ish Smart Doctor, who is dying to fall in love and get married. She meets Aspiring Actor and Broadcast Journalist (right). She falls for Broadcast Journalist like a ton of bricks. It's obvious from the start (to the audience but not to her) that Aspiring Actor is nuts about her. But... she has fallen for Broadcast Journalist like a ton of bricks already. No doubt, Smart Doctor and Broadcast Journalist must be given credit for their love that stands the tests of time, separation and misunderstanding, but the one who loves most in the show is undoubtedly Mr Aspiring Actor. What he does/does not do because of his undying love for Smart Doctor: Y does not pursue her at first because he is still struggling to survive in this small-time drama group and he knows he doesn't have much to offer Y resp...
