Caught Lions for Lambs with Michelle today. Didn't think any girl who is not a history major would be interested to watch something like this (besides me of course, I'm such a history geek. Plus, I tend to end up watching very male shows like Master and Commander which I thought was kinda brilliant but just that it wasn't very entertaining). But anyways, I thought it was pretty good. It's basically about decisions on war affecting different groups of people (leaders, media and commonfolk) and how they're all interlinked but then again they are not. And the different views on war and the reasons behind why they're involved.

Studying so much military history made me forget about the many personal tragedies involved. To us, it was just all a statistic. A leader makes the wrong strategic move, and hundreds of thousands left dead. Nobody cares who. oh oops, then the leaders try another wave of attacks or a new strategy. The war goes on.

The whole term came from a quote, something about what the German soldiers said bout the British soldiers they encountered during WWI: 'Such lions led by such lambs'. which is sadly true in most of the time. lives sacrificed for stupidity. mistakes.

Which brings me to what an ass Hitler was. This was what he said when the Allies and the Soviets were at Germany's doorstep; "the Germans had not proved themselves worthy of being he master race by losing this war, so they all deserve to go to hell with me." what the #$%&^*!!

And nobody really learns from history. Nobody.

We then went to watch The Great Spy Experiment at radio pulse. they're pretty good. and we kinda got conned into buying their album (we're such girls) which isnt thatt bad so it's still fine. It's just that I cant remember the last time I bought an album before today. hmmmmm. My resolution shall be to go for more band showcases from now on. but sometimes I'm so ulu that I need people to bring me to such performances!! And did I mention that I truly wanna sing in one? sighh. it's just that I dare not sing alone in front of an audience. why else would I be in a choir right.

on another note, DP bash was absolutely boring. well, except for the almost free porn on the podium. which wasn't very appetizing anyway. The girl looks like a bloody tranny. Speaking of unappetizing porn, the video yijun showed us was the ultimate gross man! urgh. I almost puked on the spot, but we held our ground. yays to us. i just wished she hadn't shown me when i was about to eat my noodles maybe. anyone interested can go ask her for the link man. But you have been warned! it involves shit. I'm not kidding. the only people who should watch this are people who desperately want to lose weight fast. you know, i can usually stand disturbing clips like this but its the residual images that keeps popping in my head for the next days/weeks that is unbearable. Like this video of a lady ghost caught on tape. when I saw it on tv i didn't really have a reaction (maybe also because I just woke up) but now I can't sleep. great, just great. bleah :(
