Shut up and Sing
Thursday, May 29, 2008

A Bush-bashing comment controversy surrounding the Dixie Chicks was indeed a big one in the music business.

I read it up on Wiki and watched a couple of videos on Youtube based on the whole situation.

A freedom of speech-a high price to pay-sometimes our words carry the ripples of death with them. Nonetheless, the group stayed strong and stood by their stand.

'Shut up and Sing' was then.

The song Not Ready To Make Nice was inspired.

On March 16, 2006, Dixie Chicks released the single "Not Ready to Make Nice" in advance of their upcoming album. Written by all three Chicks alongside Dan Wilson, it directly addressed the political controversy that had surrounded the group for the past three years:

I’m not ready to make nice

I’m not ready to back down

I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go 'round and 'round and 'round

It’s too late to make it right

I probably wouldn’t if I could

‘Cause I’m mad as hell

Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should

and, in criticism of the death threats the women (particularly Maines) received,

It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her

Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger

And how in the world can the words that I said

Send somebody so over the edge

That they’d write me a letter

Sayin’ that I better

Shut up and sing or my life will be over

4:52 PM

I'm going to do the same for my grave. lol.

This is one of the coolest Gadgets in the market now- the Nintendo Wii Console.

I'm planning to get it by this year (hopefully by my birthday).

Ha-ha, how can you resist such revolutionized gameplay?

Watch this and you'll realize why it's so good:

I just caught the movie Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the crystal skull. It's a blast I tell you!

Go watch it at GV where you can buy their Indiana Jones popcorn combo that'll rope in this mini figurine:

Madtv never fail to amuse me with their little parodies and ditties of famous happenings or advertisements. The IPOD nano commercial was one of their efforts.

I had an early lunch with D at Suki Sushi, Cineleisure on Sunday.

The whole place was crowded even though it's a total bad Sakae Sushi ripoff- with it's buffet price jacked up to astronomical. And they don't even rope in the free sides which Sakae offer. Damn, a wrong place to dine! I didn't know what made me shell out that kind of money.

Anyway, the whole experience was 'okay' except for some dead air here and there.

Maybe it's just me searching for that lost friendship we had a few years back,the days we had so much. If only it wasn't for my personal agendas.

Well, what can I say, people change, that includes me.

If only the food didn't taste half as bad.

7:50 PM

One of the grim perils for a very fat person to lose a lot of weight at one go-the irony- and become so health conscious that he puts even the slightest drop of mayonnaise sauce in that burger to serious scrutiny. The blessing of that is, that person will most likely maintain that healthy weight throughout his life. Well, I'm not that in it's entirety but maybe 70% of it.

I still can down that cheese burger without battering a single eyelid. Ha-ha.

Well, I realized I'm more health conscious now and I'm terribly afraid of putting back the pounds the army helped me shed oh-so-tediously. It's like the end of the world to me.

Hence, some twinges of conscience made me love to head to the gym. Oh yes, that's my sordid little secret to maintaining that body weight (aiming for the better in the days to come though) and I hope you stop stereotyping me with the other fatty males who gained back all that was lost back in the day once they got out of BMT.

Food to me, I like it yet I don't want it. It's a peculiar affair indeed.

Go and lose some weight today, you will feel much better.

It's like a totally different reality. Now I have to license to even fetishize having broad shoulders and muscular pecs. Oops. Not yet but soon. (:

I had dinner at ZAC's cafe located somewhere along Arab street.

They serve the most wonderful beef and lamb kebabs. It houses a few tables under a pretty relaxing atmosphere. This cafe is owned by the boss of Canadian Pizza 2-for-1.

Facebook:

have you ever been awed by it's social networking power down to it's application intricacies?

Do you know that this ingenious idea added to the Internet revolution was done by a mere 23 year-old? He goes by the name of Mark Zuckerberg.

Forbes Magazine named him as "the world's youngest self-made billionaire" with a theoretical net worth of US $1.5 billion

Now that's inspiration.

2.28am:

I'm home. Finally free from the torturous army world and all set for the long break till Monday.

4 full days of being outside meaningless existence and I can hardly wait.

Honestly, you cannot blame my raw enthusiasm until you've tried becoming a stay-in personnel in the army yourself.

And so, long weekends make me squeal in delight like a bone excites a canine.

Concluded.

Usually I deviate from talking about army topics on my blog entries because I already have the army up my neck from Mondays to Fridays and I wouldn't want my blog to reminiscent that part of my miserable dog-life. However, I shall make an exception for this entry because I want let a particular victory of mine be made known. Haha.

My Encik was on leave for the whole week: I heard he went to visit his wife in Dubai or something. Anyway, the absence of this lampooner means a much quieter company line and a whole new stress level low. But certain work had to go on because of the tight schedule and OHSAS would be one of them. I shall not go into the nitty-gritty of what it actually is but just know that it is -a lot- of admin work.

Since my company don't usually receive A levels or diploma servicemen, it very well made me one of the so-called elite few with the capability to do administrative work. Initially I was quite okay with the idea until recently my feelings came up a little untrammeled. I mean, here I am doing all the admin sai-kang everyday while my other bunk mates get to sleep in the bunk, watch TV in the mess, play on their PSPs or puff away on cigarettes. They get to sleep late into the afternoons and basically camp life to them is very much likened to staying in a chalet.

Thinking through the mechanics of this whole situation, I realized I don't get as much rest as them nor as much fun as them just because I hold a higher education certificate! In other words, it just means that it sucks to be clever. Damn. I was quite peeved at this atrocity and I started punching on the buttons of my cellphone; cautiously formulating a SMS to the sergeant, on one hand making sure that I wasn't wailing in self-pity but at the same time letting my raw emotions about those 3 douche bags in my bunk be known. SMS sent.

The sergeant was quite kind and quick to understand my dire situation. He related to the Staff Sgt. everything I've said and the Staff Sgt. also took compassion.

My goodness, I think my stars are aligned to have such a wonderful thing happening. Well, here comes the crux which got me intoxicated.

The sergeant told me that he would be sending my bunk mates to the ATP site do some manual work and they would have to stay with the whole ATP team until their shoot was over which would be around 12am, pushing their book-out timing to a later time. When I learnt of this, I felt a surge of carnality taking over my usual self. I was very happy that my bunk mates finally got what they deserve: a taste of shit and I felt very much compensated.

Friday morning soon came and they had to fall in at 530am with the rest of the ATP people.

They left in a tonner shortly after that.

I was one of the few people left in camp. Ha-ha.. yes, slack time finally.

I watched a couple of DVDs in the mess and caught a few winks to make up for loss sleep.

At 12pm, I gingerly went to Staff Sergeant to ask for a half-day off; explaining to him that I didn't have much to do today because one of the main headers for OHSAS wasn't around. And guess what? He agreed.

I am a very lucky person indeed.
