afterthoughts

there's no way and every way to shut these pot lids over my eyeballs. i'm so bloody sleepy but anyway i was motivated to come online to blog because i watched NDP on teevee and i must confess i nearly teared when i saw the tribute to Goh Chok Tong. you know some people may try to be gung-ho and criticise the "gah-ment" as being too dictatorial, autocratic, too motherly too blah blah blah, our senior PM as being a foolish tyrant and what's this about banning chewing gum i hear?.. and caning Michael fay and our capital punishments on drug traffickers but i tell you this, at the end of the day, the one country that made this little red spot of earth so safe and conducive an enviroment to work, study and play in has been that dictatorial, tyrannical and over protective government that we've grown to take for granted over the years.

no i am not johnny tan fong wei Mr patriot. i just think that singaporeans shouldn't be too quick to jump to accusations of our country and paint an exagerrated idealistic and magical picture of the oh so sought after countries which happen to be in the west pole. our western counterparts aren't living such a good life compared to us so please don't delude yourself into any fantasies that just because Mr Bush doesn't ban chewing gum it means that we should all hail USA as the pioneer of free rights for all.
hellO......... are you hollow or you H-O-L-L-O-W? you think America's like that cherubim barbie happy ditzy blondie Miss USA at the recent Miss Universe pageant? so you think you'll be happy and chew and spit and stick gum all over the place without getting caught over there? you think you'll have freedom of speech and freedom of rights and the freedom to demonstrate with banners and posters of KILL OSAMA or DOWN WITH BUSH in the streets over there? think again fools. it's precisely because of the turmoil that USA was once wrecked with, and their security concerns and controversies concerning the Iraq war that serves as an ignitor for public demonstrations. why the hell would there be public protests in the streets if peace and stability reigned? America ain't no free country. same goes for the rest of western europe. you think moving to uptown new york with all that glitzy lifestyle is gonna finally put you somewhere on track towards a glamorous life in a way Singapore could never do? believe me you get more racial discrimination and gun shots whizzing past your ears over there than you get over here my pets.
ok moving on.. i joined wholivesnearyou.com about a month or so ago. and i have gotten to the conclusion that Singaporeans are WEIRD. or at least for those people who live in my neighbourhood. now let's set the record straight. how many of you, once upon a time, logged on to irc, and let's include Friendster for the record, hoping to get a message from an anonymous person from the same gender as you? now please be honest. frankly i'd freak out if any female were to msg me on irc or friendster to chat. no self respecting female or male does that to the same gender of their species. ok my point is that, somehow there has emerged a rather eccentric universal generic rule that if your a guy, you msg the girls... or AT LEAST, out of ALL the people you msg, most of them are from the opposite sex. now if anyone objects please do leave a comment or forever hold your peace.

but let's move on to weird people on wholivesnearyou.com. the first guy to msg me (that i was remotely interested in getting to know better) turned out to be a narcissist self assuming braggart hole. he asked me why was i so fair in my photo when i was supposed to be playing touch rugby. personally i don't agree with him? i still think i'm relatively charcoal although months of not training have slightly skinned off the darkest layer.. but yes anyway, i replied saying that A levels were coming and so training is off, anyway season is over so ya.. i have to set my priorities right.. right? ok so there i was, very satisfied with my answer when he replied with a derogatory.. i quote "oh So yet another person of the majority who sees sport as but another past-time, stepping stone to the big picture, which is necessarily something more unenjoyable and mundane?"

i was superbly pissed off. so i plunged into a rattling rendition of how it wasn't fair to categorise people like that in such generic terms and how people like him place sports at the top of their priority list but how, for me, there are other finer things in life to enjoy and remarked rather much in passing how he was rather cynical of people. he replied rather smugly and satisfied that i had "noticed" his cynical fashion and that he had deliberately probed me for such a response and so on and so forth.

frankly it really put me off. why why why do i always meet sophists? as i said before, there is NOTHING unique about anybody in this world that sets you apart from the rest of the "Member of Mundane Majority (MMM)". btw, (MMM) was quoted from him.. who the hell talks like that online right??? but ah well... yes as i was saying.. don't feel like you have a very cynical and jaded view about life and proceed to slap the entire issue on my lap expecting me to be in awe of your intellect and disillusioned view of the world. even my dog knows how to be disillusioned when he sees me coming home from school knowing i won't bring him out for his favourite afternoon walks anymore because i'm busy with school. as Socrates said before, when you have finally admitted that the only thing you do know, is that you know nothing then your allowed to come and talk to me again, otherwise.. PLEASE SPARE ME all your sophist talk.

then there was this other guy who didn't put a photo in his profile and msged asking me if i'd seen him before. ........... -_- i think i don't need to tell you why his weird and his stupid. this is very self explanatory.

i just watched Singapore Idol. apparently i was wrong in my prediction that it wouldn't be as engaging and entertaining and sinfully voyeuristic as American Idol and dear likeable Simon Cowell. i think we have in our midst several william hungs already in the first episode.. or Patrick Hungs for that matter.

oh and i know this is rather rude of me to say this, but i would as sooner as hell eat a cockPoach than say "HUR HUR.. er.. Uh.. ok..... BUH BYE" to the judges on national tv. i'm sorry.. please note the emphasis on BUH-bye. you gotta say it aloud to yourself and you'll see what i mean. it didn't help that the person who said it looked like a blumbering idiot with a idiotic dunce kinda grin.. the kind like Fred Flintstone and his Friend Barney.

oh and never never EVER ask for PERMISSION TO MOVE AROUND when you sing in front of the judges..... when you don't have the moves to boot. two wrongs don't make a right you know?

eh may i have the permission to tell you that you don't impress me?
