Penang, Heritage city

Amazingly, it's only been 4 days since the last time i wrote a post here. and apparently, my readers are lost, confused and do not know how to comment anymore. fret not, as i long not for your comments, nor your thoughts. the fact that i still have my readers are comforting enough.

so, i've watched the dark knight. it was amazing. simply amazing. and the joker, gosh.. heath ledger surely put on a stellar performance before his life was extinguished. ever wondered if his death was a result from his manical portrayal of the joker? hey, i still believe in some truth to the freudian theory!! but that aside, the rest of the cast did a pretty good job too. as much as a wallflower that she could be, maggie g did put on a good performance (i think she's better than katie holmes)..and now we know why he's called the dark knight. the misunderstood one. protector of the night.

there seems to be a faint sliver of hope at the edge of the dark cloud.. but is this for me? or is it just an illusion? it's amazing that i could still stay sane and not freak out at this moment. gosh.. how can i slip and fall so badly this time..

georgetown is listed as one of the heritage sites in the latest UNESCO heritage listing.. rejoice, people. i am so happy for this. even though i may represent the last generation of the 'living' georgetown, i can't help but be so proud of the city. there'll be celebrations during the weekend, and various events held to commemorate this prestigious moment. tree planting ceremony, heritage trail, performance etc. and for once, i am so proud as i will be part of it.. (very minor role, but i am proud as i am in the same mailing list for all the decision makers and who's who of penang)...viva la Georgetown!!
(may try to get my hands on the poem which will be read during the tree planting ceremony and will put it up here if the opportunity is right)

ok, am going off now.
happy reading

ciao
ben
