Pirates of the Carribean 3

I'm possibly going to be watch the new pirates movies tonite but i just got tipped off on the Internet that the locale that the 3rd movie: Pirates of the Carribean at World's End will be set in would be Singapore. Haha... its nice to know that the western world thinks that Singapore is at the End of the World, where in fact we're more like in the middle where the equator is... but then again, given that the world is actually round, any point of it could be considered the end of the world. Also, Singapore was not actually around/founded during the time period in which Pirates is actually meant to take place, at least I don't think so. Anyways... that has never stopped Hollywood before. I guess the East India Company is going to feature prominantly in this one and I have read that Chow Yuan Fat is playing a bad-ass pirate as well... haha, that'll be fun. However I don't really think any of the actual filming will be done in Singapore cause all of it looks too modern... haha

Just got some really sad news today... one of my old classmate's younger brother just passed away... although i don't really know this kid, i just feel really really sad for my friend. This guy is really one excellent friend and i do have good memories hanging out with him during JC and to think that someone i care about has to go through that shitty experience, well that really blows. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family... hope they find the strength to deal with this tragedy in the family

I guess this news also serves as sort of a wake-up call. 3 years ago one of my best friends passed away and that kinda made me realise that life is pretty short and i should try to experience as much of it as i can. Hence this lead to certain life decisions and risks that i have made over the years, most of which are playing out really well for me at the moment. However, i guess i've just been getting a little too comfortable with the way things are going... i told myself 3 years ago that i would live life and make heaps of memories enough for the both of us but now, i might be losing sight of that. I guess what we can learn or at least what i take away when i hear about these very tragic and untimely deaths is that every second counts... and that we need to live in a way that we do not have any regrets. I know how cliche that can sound but there is universal truth in it.

oh well...
