Damn getting sick.. slight cough coupled with cold... nevertheless im still gonna go the rv bbq after seeing my dad off...

投名状 (Warlords) is a sad film... with casts like Jet Li as Pang Qing-Yun, Lau as Zhao Er-hu, Takeshi Kaneshiro as Jiang Wu-Yang. Their actings are excellent, and the props vividly displayed a battlefield, the storyline is rather standard and easy to predict but it's worth the show for the actings especially for their expressions.

Below is my lit assignment which i sped 2h composing and analyzing, no offense whatsoever, it is just a homework!

Analyse and write your interpretation of the song "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" by Iron & Wine from Twillight soundtrack, hint: commenting on society in general.

In general, the song is commenting on America society, pointing out the dark side she have that had overwhelmed the justice and righteousness.

The first verse talks about America in her early stage. ‘Quick’ is used as America’s history is shorter than most countries. These founders of States strived hard to build up the nation, just as described, diving deep for coins. Then other countries started to grow interest on America, mainly because of the American Dream, where it is described as eyeing on the boy’s toys. Yet all these efforts of the States early settlers were in vain when laws and regulations established, forcing America to follow the society, leaving the past life behind; cut my long baby hair, where long again suggest the effort of States early settlers had put in building up the nation. Dog implies loyalty, and map implies direction, therefore by stealing a dog-eared map probably means that America had no choice but to follow the direction society wants her to follow, therefore using ‘stole’ as the direction is not hers. The last phrase ‘called for you everywhere’ suggests that America do not have her own mind already therefore needing the society.

The second verse talks about America in her current stage. She is now but a lazy, well-fed cat, treating her tongue that could attack painfully by being frank. This refers to all those scientists revealing defects of other countries hurting many hearts. Then again, ironically, she couldn’t manage her own internal problems such as the Federal and crime rates. This is expressed in the expression where she could only watch the "poison rats" that come through the "wide fence cracks". These ‘rats’ knew that the society is misleading therefore pissed on the magazine photos. Blood of Christ mountain stream symbolizes the pure living and spiritualism, and this is only a lure for the innocence, and true enough these magazine photos were thrown away later, indicating that the society debases religion and honest living. The mountain stream reinforces earlier expression of the wet boy diving for coins. Everything has been lost and flattened and is used as nothing more than advertisement and cast aside, and our basic humanity is lost in its pages.

In the first chorus America was uncertain if she had founded a nation by following the society as religion (flightless bird) had been lost to jealousy and war (when in war, Federal makes money but people would be deprived) and freedom of speech (American mouth) being threatened by the dark side (might be killed anytime).

In the first chorus America was uncertain if she had founded a nation by following the society as religion was confined and attacked (by sciences) and those daring souls that had spoke up dead (big pill=dangerous drug, going down=swallowed).
Therefore the whole song is commenting about the cruelty of America behind the scenes, after devastating the past and now masked by the potency, wealth and advancement of technology.

Here's the lyrics:

Flightless Bird, American Mouth
Iron & Wine

I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys

And when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair

Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth
Big pill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth
Big pill stuck going down

thanks to angus i found this song...

phew.. damn beat today....
yepp, tmr is olvl chem spa yet im still roaming the city...
well, must try to not miss any opportunity to experience new stuffs...
this world is cruel, time is vicious...
happineess is transient....
some may disagree, but it is best being a kid, at least for me...
to be so carefree, so curious and unafraid...
maybe the older i am, the more coward i've become
to always think about consequences and stuffs like that
to always consider my image to the public...

well... as said, just living to die...
nothing last, so just cherish, treasure, smile and move on...

well.. life is indeed meaningless
we are not history, so just live ba, let fate decide..
but ofcoz must give your best larh...

that day dont know why told my dad about my 'ambition'...
which is being entertainer, counseller, actor.. stuffs like that, his reaction was negative le, but seriously, i appreciate these people alot, it is a form of art, a form of entertainment...

mrs ma showed a video of a boy dressed up as a girl dancing to 'nothing but you', she condemned him so bitterly... for goodness sake he was just entertaining people larh, must give credit to these people who boldly gave abit of laughter into others'lives... just like a clown, ever wondered how hard is it to kept faking a smile regardless of your mood and be humiliated for the sake of the laughter of the audience?

why must men be so unkind, condemning others, to stereotype and discriminate... to turn a cold shoulder... to hurt others... be abit more kind ba, the world would be a better place. To be a little more selfless and open up your heart, no need full, half door okay le...

Sometimes selfless to the point to go along with what others enjoy, dont give a gloomy face when friends take you to do something they like but you dont... well must be righteous ones larh.. I must give applause to sin5 to try to ice-skate though he got no interest at all... he do pick up fast, at least he didnt fell as much as me when i started to learn.. well my style larh, die die pia one.... but seriously now i could not learn a new skill as fast as last time.. as stated.. the older i am, the more coward i've become... ms hoori agrees too after sharing her experiences... damn i wonder what would i be in the future.. sigh...

wow, such a long post.. hehe i think i post more philosophical stuffs than francis... well enough thinking for today... bb... sharing about my horoscope:

此星座的人有坚韧的毅力，勤奋，遇难时有可自解厄的能力，亦可平安度过。缺点为有疑心，常会妨碍了命运。除了喜做善事，不问收获，不断付出，贡献，绝不可为贪小利而借钱给别人或借人钱财。
此星座的人易获得众人敬爱，也能蒙受长辈、上司的照顾和提携；个性恶嫉扬善，种善因得善果，有佛缘。有智慧和胆量，不怕吃苦，处事认真，能忍耐、天真幼稚，乐于助人，有“平稳”的潜能，具有稳定的行动力。

PSYCHOLOGY PERSONALITY QUIZ

Dear Kyanta Yap, below are your PSYCHOLOGY PERSONALITY test result:

You love the crowd... a party animal! Too many “friends”, you can’t easily tell which among them is real and not...

You hide your emotions... Sometimes pretending to be always happy. Sometimes, not giving even a hint of what you really feel.

You search for love... you’re a hopeless romantic and every time you enter a relationship, you give your all and believe “this is the One.”

You appreciate simple things in life... You hate complicating things that’s why you’re typically up-front in any aspect.

You’re a stubborn sweetheart... You “love” him/her only because he/she loves you. If his/her flame puts out, you let go with no trouble.

You’re undoubtedly good-natured! Most of the time, people are confident to approach you because they know you will consider them.

You’re independent! You’re also risky just like the bajaken who sail in the vast and dangerous ocean to look for treasures!
