Desmond and the Sidekick.

I was thinking about this yesterday, after 2 draft entries. Faithful readers over the months would know there are 2 things I blog passionately about. Batman and Ronan Keating.

Well, I was looking at a batman site, and I realised, as much as I like Batman, I dun wanna be him. If i could choose, I'd rather be Robin. I'd rather be the sidekick to the big man.

Maybe its cause being the sidekick, you have less responsibility. You have a considerable amount of power and ability, but you have much less responsibility. You have the room to mess up, becos you've got the world's greatest hero as your bestest friend. Superman, Batman...

You can be stronger than most of the city; still be a famed (minor) hero; still save lives. But at the same time, you can also be vulnerable. You can break, becos Batman's the real one the city's counting on. He's the one without the option to break down, and give in.

You can be caught, and bound, and you'll still have Superman flying in, saving you. ( Yes, Superman has no sidekick. Point noted.. haha)

You can still be human, despite being a (minor) superhero.
Cos Big Brother Superhero is there to catch you, and clean up your tracks.

I guess I want to be human sometimes. To feel vulnerable, and let down my guard. To be looked after and watched over.

But I forget sometimes, that I'm already sidekick to the greatest Superhero the world has ever known.

They call Him the Great I Am, Jehovah. El-Shaddai. Adonai. Elohim. Yahweh. Emmanuel. He who was and is and is to come. He the Maker of heaven and earth. He the Lover of my soul. Mighty to deliver. My refuge and my rock. He who lifts my feet, and goes before me. As pillar; of cloud and fire.

The Lord, my God. The Lord Almighty.

I'm a sidekick to Him. I am watched over, looked after. I'm given all power in heaven and on earth, and yet, I can hide in the shadow of His wings. I can be weak, cos He makes me strong.

I could go on and on. Really.

Thank You Father. You're my Superhero.
Thank You, for You watch over me.
What You've reserved for me, none can take away.

Thank You, that You watch over us, and love us enough, to not leave us the way we are. Thank You for saving us.

Praise the Lord, all the earth..

Desmond and the Escalator.

I was on the escalator the other day, riding upwards, and I happened to look to my left. And there I saw something that made my day.

Ronan Keating on the display panel of Semba*ang Music.

Ah, its not a hyped up thing, but Mr Keating's new album is out. Has been for quite awhile... I chanced upon the news a month ago while browsing through the net.

And then I turned my head to the front, and it was just like you see in the movies. The guy goes up the escalator, camera changes to the front, where it catches him coming up the escalator to the upper floor, and TA DUM!!! He sees his favourite superhero on the display panel of Popul*r.

Pure bliss.

What are the odds of Mr Keating and Mr Wayne being so close to each other?! (Actually, quite good odds, considering "they" are cardboard figures.)

Nonetheless, I was pretty happy for those few minutes.

God is so good. Stinking good. Just came back from the Asian Idols thing... Nice to see so many ppl involved. Its probably the first time in a long time where I can see the entire show, as part of the audience. I miss being involved in such productions, and all the rehearsals.

Ok, I have nothing much to really blog about so my thots are all over the place. I finally found a nice simple template, and I happily changed the babyblues picture to this batman storyboard, and swapped all the christmas colours for something dark-er. Haha, all the greys look the same I realised.

Aye nvm.

Up up and away!!

Desmond and the Hiatus, and the World Cup.

Its been such a long time since I wrote! Just trying to spend my time more wisely.

Its the World Cup season and I... correction -- It's the end of the World Cup season, the time where the international language is starting to fade away into oblivion, till 4 years later, where it will rise again.

Admittedly, the World Cup seriously bonds ppl. Frens staying up late, (at declan's house); neighbours drinking kopi and enjoying the late-night GOALLLLLLLLLL, at the 24-hour kopitiam.

I think I've lost out on alot.

Don't get me wrong, I dun watch or play soccer. So I dun mind missing the matches. Its the opportunity to fellowship I miss.

Too many I miss, too much to say.

That's why, sometimes, a Hiatus is better. Sometimes, leaving your phone at home could be better. Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes... "You say it best when you say nothing at all.."
