juz spent a long long time on my 2nd lab report....and it's not even half done...grr....suddenly piled with lots of work...must be the procrastination...sigh...

watched a made in s'pore film - [15] last night...abt five 15 year old boys who are disillusioned about life and how they subject themselves to pain such as body piercing, tattooing, drug trafficking etc. to relieve themselves of the gaping holes in their lives...it's sad how they view suicide as their light at the end of the tunnel...their only escape...

discriminated and frowned upon by society, it's hard for them not to be cynical i guess...yet amidst all their afflictions, they find comfort in the fortress of friendship that they have forged....despite the humour injected into the film to lighten the mood....reality sinks in still...plus the vivid images of self inflicted wounds, piercings, stabbings enforces the seriousness of it all....this is a part of the singaporean society we've yet to witness...and it's scary to know that it actually exists...

i can't help but wonder if given a chance, whether these boys would continue to choose this path filled with hurdles and obstabcles....and if they knew God, whether they would have led more fulfilling lives....*zhi de shen si*
