All thanks to Lin Yucheng, who refused to buy drinks at the movie snack stand, and insisted on going to Basement 1, only to find that Long John Silver's didn't have the spicy chicken combo anymore, following which we went to McDonalds, I missed the first few minutes of the Matrix Reloaded. Oh well, I can always catch it on Kazaa.

Much has been and will be said about it, but I have but one general comment - it's cryptic for the sake of being cryptic. In a way, it's just like literature, or rather, the study of it :) If you look hard enough, I wager you could find deeper meaning in Mickey Mouse cartoons (and many have already in Powerpuff Girls and Looney Tunes). A few minor comments - the Zion disco seems to be patronised by hippies on drugs, ergo the wild gyrations and middle eastern draping clothes. And something about the credits made the many schoolgirls in the audience squeal.

Later, we were walking around, and Yucheng walked into 77th Street, presumably to look at girls' clothes and accessories. Aww.

Yucheng is under the delusion that officers are in high demand among girls seeking to get attached, which is presumably why all his other officer friends are attahced. Hmmph.


Seen outisde a toilet: "The janitor serving you is ~ A/P ~". What does A/P stand for? I've seen s/o and d/o before, but I can't begin to guess what A/P is.

I have it on reliable sources that JC students will be visiting the Island of Doom on Wednesday. Good luck to the girls mounting and dismounting the 5 tonner in their school uniforms! [Addendum: HCJC sent students doing detention for it. And Mr Lim brought the RJ students there!]

Science in the right spirit

More people are seeking a spiritual anchor in these disruptive times.But they should not get themselves trapped in blind dogma. And religion should not distance itself from science

By Richard Lim

'I have often said that if science proves facts that contradict with Buddhist understanding, Buddhism must change accordingly. We should always adopt a view that accords with the facts.'
- The Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso

"Yet a faith should not trap the individual in blind dogma and old certainties which are no longer relevant. That is the surest path not to nirvana, but to superstition and stagnation. In extreme cases, that path leads to fear and loathing, and to crimes and atrocities committed in the name of religion.

Religions are, of course, about matters perennial and values that endure. But so much of religion today is about form, with little or no understanding on the part of the faithfuls of the substance.

Some religious leaders may take advantage of this lack of understanding among their flocks to exploit them for their own ends.

But the true religious leader knows that his paramount duty is to help his followers and those outside his faith, to understand more fully the teachings of his religion, and the context in which these teachings can serve the people, not him or his institution."


I wish the Creationists and their gang of fundamentalist ilk were this progressive.
