 What the hell were talking about?
Hell.
Vincent and I was just discussing about Hell
and I found it quite interesting because the term
Hell has been used in alot of ways - from metaphors to

1 In some religions, hell is the place where the Devil lives,
and where wicked people are sent to be punished when they die.
Hell is usually imagined as being under the ground and full of flames.

2 If you say that a particular situation or place is hell,
you are emphasizing that it is extremely unpleasant.

4 You can use as hell after adjectives or some adverbs
to emphasize the adjective or adverb.

5 If you say that a place or a situation is hell on earth or a hell on earth,
you are emphasizing that it is extremely unpleasant or that it causes great suffering.

6 If someone does something for the hell of it, or just for the hell of it,
they do it for fun or for no particular reason.

20 If you say that someone raises hell, you are emphasizing
that they protest strongly and angrily about a situation in
order to persuade other people to correct it or improve it.

Glad that my toilet lights are up and working so that
I won't have to ponder over such a powerful word like this in the dark.
Anyway, just a random thought that I really hope that my sins will be cleared
by the time I naturally die and that I will be given the potion of forgiveness.
When I die, I just want to literally rest in peace, and I mean it. Did I bore you with this topic?
hah! I think its really interesting that Vincent actually brought this topic up because its so damn random.

Imagine there's no heaven
It easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us' only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Happy Belated Birthday to mom!
and thanks to Vincent for letting me think about my sins.

 Everything is so screwed up.
My computer is slowing down.
If I didn't had any siblings?
(Haha, I wouldn't be able to make this desision because I wouldn't be around)
I really have no one to turn to - to talk about things - not even my siblings.
All I always do is to help others but what happen when I needed?
The main reason why I don't want people to use my computer
is that it is already slowing down and if they download music, how
much can my computer take when they don't want to download on their own ones?
Jiejie needed to print stuff and the only place she has in mind is my computer.
And when I told her about it in front of mom, she got so worked up finding the disc.
She went to ask Leslie if there was any space to put a printer upstairs and his reply: no.
Sure. Jiejie called Leslie beforehand.
They just love to gossip behind my back.
Siblings, I call them.

Thanks for dropping by!
I am really proud to announce that I lost the above image that says "Welcome To Derek's Blog".
This week will be a really short week and I guess I will be spending at least half of my time
at Aranda during the National Day break, in condition that they don't close it. As for everything
else that is going on with my life, erm, I shall say that I will not be on the computer as much as
before - said too much. Yes. I will have to work on lots of things right before the prelims.
DPA did not contact me, so I believe I'm not chosen.. anyway, the chances are slim and my hopes
ain't high. Oh well. Okay, This is really a random post since its gonna be my last post for the 41st
Singapore! I went to Tampines Mall with Joan this evening to watch transformers - great movie!
I've watched this show with Benny and isn't it worth watching again for a good cause?
Await for my next entry about my new family member!
