Conrad is a superb writer. he speaks of the power of Kurtz' unbounded eloquence, but he too is guilty of such a lovely manipulative tool, you gasp under the sheer weight and colossal immensity of his words..
hmm. picked up this book called The Hour that Changes the World. its good stuff. yeah its true that some books are 'anointed'. i picture the writer being really sensitive, intimately aware, acutely agile to the Holy Spirit's voice. how is it that everytime i randomly open up 'Our Journey' the title speaks directly into my situation? especially James MacDonald's entries, whoever he is. maybe he really seeks God, no matter, he always blesses me with his writing.
Rahim B Sulaiman! you are my pick for Most Courteous Taxi Driver Award. hahaha.
1. neat starched shirt and collar and clean appearance
2. you start the journey with a cheery 'good morning!'
3. your taxi smells nice. no smell of suffocating perfume, no groggy medicated oil...
4. your cab sounds peaceful. no jarring chinese pop tunes or 4D readouts or boppy dance remixes..
5. you end the journey with 'have a good day!'
mm. :) i think singapore's campaigns are hilarious. anyone seen the latest TeamSingapore song? hahaa typically the lyrics in the songs go along the lines of victory, unity, harmony.. reach up to the clouds.. blah dee blah.
uniquely singapore, eh?
heh here's another poem just for you. -sheepish giggle-
sunny island in the sea
small but enough space for you and me
babies grow grow grow we must
else the economy will go bust
we'll make space upwards
if not sidewards
hdb can do it very fast.
we have space in the pews
if not in the news
for wayward non-whites to repent,
else lightning and ashes
and twentyfour lashes
should make you quite
The Quiet Singaporean
who does all things right
all rebellion unlearn
as purified, newatered men.
