happy melancholy               

met my bunch of NS mates last night.
was great reliving those good memories that we had together and having a laugh about it all.
overall there were some slight changes, but the basic characteristics that made out each of them were still there.

some things never change.

and speaking of things that never change, some of them were still single, all the way right from the time we ORD till now!

so i had a moment of inspiration, and decided to design these t shirts.
interested parties can order them from me, they're not too expensive :)




i can think of a certain mr sian that could use these t shirts.
they'd be a great way to start a conversation with the opposite sex.

zidane shows the world how to use your head, correctly!





by the way, the jap words mean:


zidane attack!
sudden head on attack!
materazzi suffered 9999 damage!

edit: forget it, stupid picture is too big a file sized to be linked for long.

the setting:

the chalet room, with the doors and windows closed.
the air conditioner is on. the tv is flickering with images telecasted from
the tv station.



the people:

5 girls, seated and lying around the room comfortably, forming a circle shape.
they're deep in discussion.



the scenario:

the girls are discussing what they should do when the guys get back from
playing soccer. they're also discussing who-has-a-crush-on-who, who-has-a-nice-butt,
and who-probably-has-the-longest-weezer. suddenly, there's a buzzing sound.
they look around, it sure didn't sound like it came from the tv.
silence follows, the room filled with sad sobbing sounds from the korean drama on tv.
and the buzzing again. this time, its obvious. it came from the top of the room.
they look up, and scream. its a flying beetle!



the result:




hur.

originally, i was going to post about my disappointment with hong junyang's album, but
i changed my mind. there's something more important worth mentioning.



recently, mrbrown posted an article about how our singaporeans' lives are progressing.
and for doing that, he was duly rewarded with a letter from k bhavani press secretary to the
minister for information, communications and the arts.



if you're singaporean, and from a middle-low class family like me, you'll identify with what
mrbrown was saying. and you'll feel for what he was trying to bring across. yes/no?



but instead of recognising these problems and addressing them, the letter merely brushed them
aside as sarcastic comments that distorted the truth, and said that mrbrown did not even
offer solutions. but mrbrown's not the person being paid gross amounts to think of solutions
for our society, right? else our government would probably be BPP - Brown People's Party. hur.



mrbrown was merely giving his feedback, which was shut off and disregarded as sarcasm,
"polemics disguised as analysis", in a bid to "encourage cynicism and despondency".



cynicism and despondency exists for people like us. and its not because people like mrbrown
encourage it with articles written in the newspapers, but because there really is something
wrong with the way our lives go, which individuals in the government like k bhavani probably
fail to understand.



i applaud mrbrown for his courage to speak out in such an article. his views reflect many of
ours, the common singaporean in the streets, working our asses off to pay for our needs.
but unfortunately, our pleas have probably fallen on deaf ears, and will continue to, time and
again.



i'm anticipating the next GE.
