on my way

04 January 2007

Ok, here's the scoop. I just posted a really lame wannabe post about hip hop and now, 15 minutes later, I'm typing something more personal. Oh yeah, in case you didn't catch the last post (you probably didn't), I slapped my tagboard in the face. Or I cleaned it up. Yeah...

The first book of Corinthians is like the rich white and milk chocolate in the candy shop of the New Testament, because a lot of it's about LURVE. Now we all know that love cannot prevent us from dying in the physical sense because obviously our bodies need these things called carbohydrates for basic functioning, and neither can love sustain our spirits (I don't mean alcohol) and souls. Why? Well, because we live in a world full of haters. Come on now, don't deny it. If you're an Indian in Singapore, you've probably been insulted one way or another.

As a Chinese in Singapore who doesn't subscribe to standard MTV white-Brit culture with all the "eloquent" speech and phrase and all that hoozamachapikachu, yeah, I don't expect much love from my peers on the sartorial or aesthetic level either. That said, I'm not a wannabe rapper/underground-hiphop-person. Never will be. And that's not a subtle jab at Yuxiang either, he's legit.

Ok, back to the hate. So we can't live on love alone, not on this planet anyway, but what we can do is put it together with faith and hope. And you get the classic FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE. No kidding, it's important. If you don't have even one of those three, you're probably closer to plant than mammal. That's the truth.

So where can you get FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE? Easy - you can go down to the nearest NTUC Fairprice and... just playing. Just decide to have them and you have them. Might come a little harder for some people. Batteries not included.
