What to believe?

First check out this link.

http://www.syfc.org.sg/events/dvc/cinema.html

Now i'm agnostic, i don't believe in God, i don't think that water can be turned into wine unless it involves some superbly cheem chemical formula. I do however think that maybe Jesus lived once and that maybe all that stuff thats stated in all the gospels (minus all the abracadabra) did actually happen.

So watching the Davinci Code (reading it rather, since i feel the novels way better) was kind of like watching a documentary on Jesus and the Holy Grail etc.

Now if i had never stumbled across other forms of research (thanks Newsweek) i would have found the above link rather childishly stubborn about their own views. After all it just states what it believes and tells us that we have to believe the same thing, or else we're just goddamned wrong and will be goddamned. Now Newsweek, on the other habd, has this article that tells me all about random historical FACTS pertaining to matters related to the Holy Grail, the Priory of the Sion and other random ideas in Brown's book.

This is an amazingly interesting topic mainly because of the fact its controversial, and we all want to see something BIG happen.

The Vatican being a lying organisation is a big thing, thats for sure. Almost as much as me being the next Singapore Idol.

The Paika and Singapore Idol

Okay my title totally makes no sense and you probably catch no ball. Paika is hokkien (i think) for spoilt leg. So yes i have a spoilt leg, i screwed up some of the gears when i was playing tennis and apparently theres a fracture somewhere.

Now why i use apparently, well thats cause the medical services provided by our friendly neighbourhood polyclinic aren't as amazing as we would like them to be, rather they border on pathetic. Don't get me wrong though, I've got nothing against the polyclinics, they give us MC's (medical certificates) like they were free and not to mention their services are really dirt cheap.

If it weren't for the fact i waited 3 hours to see a doctor AND that the first time i went i got ZERO information on what exactly was wrong with my foot, and that i STILL had to wait another 3 days or so for the review to come from the doctor, i might have actually appreciated the fact that their services only cost me about 10 bucks altogether.

So now for the past 5 days i have been sitting at home stoning away, chatting and doing totally random-waste-time-and-energy-stuff like playing games and well...blogging. Now i know i should have studied SOMETHING, but i'm a procrastinator (is there even such a word? o.0) and i'd rather slack off then work.

Now to Singapore Idol, I was watching the re-run of it last night and heck, the stupidity and utter lameness of some of the contestants still made me laugh my ass of even thoug it was the second time seeing them. I mean, what the hell does a singing contest and the Commonwealth games have in common?

So i was discussing doing something stupid for next year's Singapore idol for a chance to get on national television and get famous for being a dumbass with my brother. We came up with some lame ideas like walking in and singing numa numa with some robot movements or singing spongebob squarepant with a plastic microphone. And there were some others that don't belong in a family blog (really, your kids can read this too) What? Think of stuff that includes people, random stick-like objects and a hell lot of sticky liquid with a background track of "hot in here". Keep guessing cause i'm not telling.

Then we realised that my brother would be stil underage by next year and there went our dreams of making ourselves famous overnight for being totally idiotic in a perverse way. What about the year after then? Well i'm skeptical that the idol shows are going to last that long. But if they DO last, then its time for you Singaporeans (and all those perverted Malaysians eager to spy on our stupidity) to look out for the next Idol Jokers! Watch out people, the Mayo Boys are (may) coming to town!

Spammage Mails and FUCKING SHORT HAIR

Okay so my complaint of short hair last time waws not so bad. NOW MY HAIR IS MEGA MEGA SHORT. I cant even fucking twirl my tail now...

Well it all started when Mr. Tan Yew Hwee came over when i was trying out steamed white chicken rice with japanese curry (hey our stall is creative, thats good) and he came over and took a chunk of my hair. I was about to turn around and go "what the fuck?" when i glimpsed blue. Now i dont know why i noticed but i think yew tee likes his tees blue. Now being caught for having long hair isnt anything big, but im sure that letting loose a sentence of profanities at the strictest-in-a-most-fucked-up-way (there should be a poll to confirm this) is gonnna guarantee me a life of pain.

Thank God im smart (yeh i tell this to myself every morning and night) and went a lame "hmm".

So he began talking about maturity and adulthood and whatsnot which left me rather clueless considering how i was more intrested in geting the disgusting white skin off my chicken and trying to ignore the fact his hand was still holding a chunk of my hair. So after he let loose a long slur of god-knows-whats i tried to decipher what he said but gave up and just promised him i'll cut it. Well i guess he wanted to prove his English was better than Seet or Goh's or something so he asked me to answer his question and repeated it. Well it was a rather random question and i guess i'm considered lucky since everyone else whos been caught (that i know of) has been screamed at whereas i only got a lecture.

On a side note here Nick was rather relieved that Yew Tee didnt see HIS hair (which i must admit is getting long) Must have been my hair out-long-ing his in Yew Wees eyes...Now i originally planned to cut my hair in china where designer hairdressers cost just a little more than my neighbourhood barber (or hairdresser, if EC house qualifies) But hey i didnt plan on ruining my last 2 weeks of school by offending a (rather) powerful teacher.

So i went to the amazing EC house again with a set of specifications for the hairdresser-lady to follow so that my hair LOOKS neater but is long enough to work with at a later date.

I THINK THE DAMN HARIDRESSER IS FUCKING DEAF.

Like after specifically telling her "tail trim, keep quite long" and "fringe and top keep, hor", i still ended up leaving the damn place with a pathetically short fringe and NO TAIL. like omg wheres my fucking tail i got no hair to play with anymore@!!!>!?!@#!@?

Haiz.

Anyway i recieved some random spam mail thing (that is probably kupping all my information to sell to some random slave trader in the white house) claiming that i will get a free ipod COLOUR if i just filled up some random shit AND shared the oppurtunity to some of my friends.

Firstly why the fuck would i want OTHER people to get the freebie too? I mean like, what if the place runs out of stock or something? wouldn't that be totally detrimental to me? Okay so I'm selfish =3

Secondly, it just so happened that right below this mail, there was another that was directing me to exactly the same address, except with a different (and totallly incomprehensible) behind-the-link-thingy. So its so damn obvious its just a goddamned spam/scam/bam mail thing.

But then again i felt like a bastard so i just redirected the mail to a couple of people who i THINK would be smart enough to figure out that its scam. But then again as smart as i am i make mistakes, so well we'll see if anyone comes complaining to me a few days later =)

Elections are coming, will PAP own again?

I wonder how our elections are being held this year. Being a typical, horribly apathatic young Singaporean I've never cared (and probably won't till i'm like, 21?) about politics, except that Mr. George Bush Jr. pisses me off.

So I've heard much anti-PAP sentiments, both from adults and my schoolmates (some of which seem to be hyper about the elections, as if they can vote =/) and (as i said) being totally ignorant (and blissfully so, as i like to decieve myself) I have not many problems with the PAP. Rather I think I have none, except that the stuff i buy seems to be getting more expensive, that some of my neighbours, though old and rickety, are taking the stairs more than i am, that my dad's employment status under CPF for the past 6 months has been "unemployed" (so he says) even though hes been working his ass off, that the PAP somehow seems to be oppressing every last bit of breath the opposition has. Other than these, i really have nothing much more to complain about. I think.

I was watchin Channel NewsAsia the other day in the bus and i saw captions in the little white thing at the bottom telling me all about "Singapore News" or something. I ended up reading statements about how some opposition party had no real clue about current affairs, about how Gomez had told Inderjit (spello?) that the whole certificate issue was "wayang".

Well i honestly have no clue WTF "wayang" is. But i'd guess its something to do with being ya-ya and dragging and crap like that. Somehow i guess i'd agree with Mr. Gomez on that. The PAP seemed to pull the issue quite alot. Coming up to election date, issues long-past and gone like these happen to come out. While it somehow shows some irresponsibility, there is no real need to pester them for explanations when it is oh-so-obvious it was a dumb, pointless mistake. But its coincidental that the issue was being publisized so close to election date, so much so its as if the PAP wished to remind us of the small mistakes of the opposition.

Maybe its not a small matter, maybe its actually a huge matter punishable by death by firing squad. But its my goddamned opinion and i think its just a mistake made to seem like a federal offence.

I guess though that the issue of pulling dumb mistakes up to light has been used by the SDP and (what i presume to be) their crazed, bankrupt leader. After all, i don't really see the connection between the PAP and the NKF. Maybe NKF was controlled by the PAP (how am i supposed to know? Im apathatic to this, remember?) or maybe the SDP was just trying to draw parallels between the two bodies. Honestly i think that its much as crap as the whole Gomez issue. It does not have much relation to politics, at least not in my view. After all, the SDP are just trying to instigate us to doubt and question the government, and the Gomez issue is the other way round. In the end its trying to make us lose trust in either party.

Whats the point? Just show us you can rule, we don't give a bloody damn if the OTHER party CAN'T rule. After all if you are good we'd vote you in and then the useless other parties can go to hell and die with their "lousier" ideals, management and whatsoever.

And i think i'm rambling as usual. The point is i'm growing weary of this damn election, with trucks and bikes blaring loudly to me in the night and with news constantly blabbering about all the scandals and shit related to the elections (im like AMK GRC by the way, thats the PMs o.0)

Well the elections HAVE given me something nice though, like a half day today AND a holiday (which Mrs Chan decided shall be somewhere around NATIONAL DAY O.O haha) Well we had lunch and watched MI:III

Not too bad a movie i must say, though i wonder if I could get a more realistic depiction of "Mission Impossible" from watching news about the General Elections and the Opposition's struggle to win some seats from big-daddy PAP.
