off!
wow... im getting a glimpse of life beyond november 7th and im feeling bored already. but what the heck... anything is better than this... even boredom... i was reading ST's (straits times...) report/tribute this morning and something struck me... no not dying from a stingray's erm... sting, but how your friends and family will think about you after you die... if people around you were tasked to write a tribute about your life(im not talking about friendster testimonials) or give a eulogy at your funeral, how would it be?

some of you might roll your eyes at this but i think one of the best tributes i have seen is from the play julius caesar... ok i think some of us held that dreadful book in much contempt while we were younger and studying but if you bother to fish that book out and read it again as what it was meant to be(a play... not a study text) you might actually unearth a few gems from ground you covered in a much different perspective earlier... that aside, marc anthony ironically gave a brief tribute to his "enemy" brutus just after he commited suicide, when he thought that the battle was lost... he said "He was the noblest Roman of them all... his life was gentle and the elements so mixed in him that nature might stand up and say to all the world, 'this was a man'.."

ok i wont go through the pains of explaining all of that cause i realised that it looks really simple from the blog but i can tell you that if you put appropriate things like his character build up into perspective, you would realise that it really is a telling tribute which i wish i could have, even from enemies i might have... i mean without the part about murdering someone or killing myself... you get the idea... right? right...
