• kenny is a 17-year old student from singapore who doesn't really enjoy his occupation, and cannot wait to break free from his chains of captivity. he knows it'll take a while though. kenny is from raffles junior college, and is grateful to God that he has done well enough for his o levels in 2004 to stay in this premier institution of the north. kenny's birthday is on 20nov1988, and he hopes that you're kind enough to give him a nice little token of congratulations on his b-day for having made it this far, or at the very least wish him a very happy birthday. kenny enjoys writing, loves chocolate, and occasionally has a craving for alcohol which he satisfies through illegal means. kenny still hates eating veggies, though he has improved slightly regarding this matter, he no longer requests for 'no veggies' when having meals at fastfood restaurants. kenny hopes to get to know all the people who read this (not that there're many) better, and to lead a wonderful and fruitful life. enjoy!

heroes.

alright i've changed my template, if you haven't noticed. i never really liked my old template anyway, but was just lazy to change. it was so plain and stupid. but i like this one now! yay! i'm so glad i managed to find it. sorry if it looks gay or anything, if it offends you so much then... then... then... i dunno. don't come here, i guess.

i'm reading 'the thin red line' now, which has managed to dash all my dreams of becoming a magnificent hero of war, a shining example to my men and do-er of impossible deeds, accomplisher of insane missions. mann 'the thin red line' really shows war to be what it actually is, not the glorious, honourable, exciting thing that it is commonly portrayed to be, instead emphasising its pure brutality, cruelty, and the sheer waste of the lives of thousands of young men.

i don't want to be a soldier anymore. i'd probably be like corporal fife and go out there to the frontlines thinking what a brave, honourable man i am to come out here and fight for my country!, but when crunch time comes and bullets start flying in swarms everywhere and dirt starts exploding in fountains of dirt around me, i'd probably run screaming to the nearest hole to hide in.

sad, but the truth. i read somewhere before, can't remember where, that "...all soldiers are heroes...". i don't know who said it. some famous guy i think. well, it's true, you're already a hero to accept a job that involves charging recklessly at millions of bullets flying at extremely high speeds towards you.

anyway, time to do homework AGAIN. seeya!
