just got back from the wake. its not the best of circumstances to meet people who you havent seen in a long time. this was the most emotional, personal wake i've ever been to. more so that Pastor's mum or even my cousin Alison. how often do you see a wake so crowded that 40 ppl have to stand? one where half the mourners are quite literally crying, throwing stoicism to the wind? it wasnt just a christian funeral, it was one where his life was celebrated. his church, his school, everything. its the first wake i went to where the Anthem was sung, and i hope i wont have to sing it under such circumstances again. the Anthem has a unique quality of being able to sound triumphant or mournful according to circumstances, because the hearts, hopes and aims of the singers are truly one. and the Council Song... it was so powerful because it represents a dream that the 25th cannot see fulfilled because their council now lies incomplete.
suppose its a bit incongruous, but news goes on. saw Mr & Mrs Smith before going down to Kembangan. its pretty darn good! not as bad as the Life crew were making out, for sure. the chemistry is pretty tight, the action scenes generally well-choreographed (except for one point in a car chase in which the camera transition was a bit jumpy) and Angelina Jolie is the hottest woman alive. GF, youre just wrong. her screen presence is amazing, possessing a forcefulness that few women today can muster. this show is to be watched.
got a new shirt and tie while out shopping today! cant wait to try it out, when clinics roll around.
