finally i got some life. watched shreky with wanqin. says who ogres are bad? they're cute and charming!

the show's awesome. the storyline's simple yet interesting. it's silly and the movie companion's great. what more would i ask for?

oh yeah. im reading this book by paulo coelho. the book asked what it means to be mad? it says anyone who lives in their own world is mad. those who are different from others. theres this part in the book im dying to share. here goes.

a powerful wizard, who wanted to destroy an entire kingdom, placed a magical potion in the well from which all the inhabitants drank. whoever drank that water would go mad. the following morning, the whole population drank from the well and they all went mad, apart from the king and his family, who had a well set aside for them alone, and which the magician had not managed to poison.

the king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. the policemen and the inspectors, however, had also drunk from the poisoned water and they thought the king's decisions were absurb and resolved to take no notice of them.

when the inhabitants of the kingdom heard these decrees, they became convinced that the king had gone mad and was now giving nonsensical orders. they marched on the castle and called for his abdication.

in despair, the king prepared to step down from the throne, but the queen stopped him saying, "let us go and frink from the communal well. then, we will be the same as them."

and that was what they did: the king and the queen drank the water of madness and immediately began talking nonsense. their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such wisdom, why not allow him to continue ruling the country?

the country continued to live in peace, although its inhabitants behaved very differently from those of its neighbours. and the king was able to govern until the end of his days.

see what mad is now? HAHA! i love the story.

alright, im off to get my uccd report done. see, im life-less again.

lovely night, everyone.
