Validity

Geez,

Exactly a week since i last blog, and i felt time has come to a standstill. Not sure if anyone missed my writing but i sure did. I was reading back some of my past entries, from the point i started work, travelling for work, meeting people, back from overseas, cherishing times back in singapore... till looking for work, and soon starting work again. Glad the entries kept those memories and tots flooding back to my little head, which will otherwise kinda just fade away for newer things to come. And one day, one might just sit back and wondered if one has actually done anything useful or memorable for that matter.

Been spending lots of time outside this week, not only have i been spending time, i have also been spending money like i shouldn. Bought a table and 2 rattan chairs. Yes, i'm waiting for them to be delivered. And many little other things, going to eating and chilling places.

Just caught a movie starring Ethan Hawke and Uma thurman. Cant quite rem the title, but it's not a new movie, and its a show i caught more than once on tv. Still, some phrases that Ethan Hawke mentioned never fail to pull a thug somewhere off me. Nothing romantic, just some pure facts, or feelings that sprang off him as he stared at the stars above, as he looked around the surroundings... where the caption mentioned "in the not so distant future". Made me wondered if i am looking forward to that kinda of future.

A future where death is determined the moment u are born. A world when your fate lies in your genes. A world where ambitions are classified according to the breed u belong. A organization where ur classified by "valid" or "invalid". All these predetermined.

Are you valid?

Wait... is that a Valid question?

Prior to this show, i happened to catch an episode of Oprah, where Uma thurman interviewed Meryll Streep. Uma asked a "life-learning" question which i felt Meryll answered wonderfully. Sometimes, one cant help if celebrities mean the things that say. We cant blame them, cos they are actors, and seriously, life has granted them richness, fame but those had also cost them their privacy and most intimate thoughts. However, when i heard Meryll Streep's answer, strangely, i felt i was hearing this from a friend. Someone who dont see the need to put up a false front, someone who has been through it all and seriously given life a serious thought. One willing to learn and explore and cherish.

Ramblings. Ah... got the name of the movie. GATACCA (the three alphabets in our DNA)
