6 points out the window

2005-09-13T21:29:00.000+08:00

In view of the terrible prelims and my 6 points out of the window, I shall throw 6 points out of the window.

1. Dota screws your prelims, seriously. Dota is like mast****tion, you feel like you're OWNING until you realise you've screwed yourself. Terrible I tell you.

2. Emeline says she rocks, so as i throw this point out of the window, do you hear a thump? Or more likely a WHUMP.BANG!

3. The juice in yolks in mooncakes seep through tissue. I left my yolk (which i hate) on a tissue on a book and 10min later the yolk juice seeped through. Sick

4. Never use the word schadenfreude in english compositions, especially in prelims. The teacher will not understand and mark you down, as she basks in schadenfreude.

5. It is not good to mug 2 years of chemistry in one day. There's just no chemistry between me and the notes and I've only done 1/3 of the work. Looks like exothermic combustion of petroleum at 2400 hours.

6. 2x6x6 is 72, not 24. Stupid A math

to darren :
the words i use are big ?
i do agree, my vocabulary is rather limited.
maybe thats why i hardly ever use any bombastic words - you can check with joshua about that.
but which words did i use that happen to seem so big to you, that they managed to disgust you ?
you ought to point those big words out to me, or check the dictionary if you dont know the definitions.
thanks :)

josh :
cheer up, alright ?
keep striving for the best.
speak to you soon.
with singtel being so efficient these days,
im just a few seconds away :)
take care, you !

Net Ranking

2005-08-08T17:26:00.000+08:00

friendships.
friendships are so important to me.
i've always imagined them to be the net that i fall on,
in times of trouble, when ive got no strength to pull myself back up.
they're the ones that catch you,
when your hands slip off the rope.
i've always thought of friendships, and the different nets of friendships.

the first "net" of friends,
which are, acquaintances.
those are like, wispy clouds.
no substance, you just fall through them.

and if you fall through,
the next net will catch you.
your normal friends.
the friends that you tell them that,
your day went well, despite having the saddest day ever.
the net may hold you for a few split seconds,
they're like those web thingys you do with your gluestick -
they seem strong,
but you'll fall through eventually.

the next net, that catches you,
are like spiderwebs.
have you tested the strength of a spider web ?
it really, is quite strong !
its durable :)
rain or shine, its still there.
and once an insect flies into the web, its stuck.
and that net, represents your close friends.
have you ever seen a fly, get stuck in a spiderweb,
then fall through ?! i havent.
even if it rains, the spiderweb doesnt rip into half.
but if someone pokes it,
it will rip. you'll wont fall through for a few hours.

the next net, that will catch you,
is a trampoline.
it represents, your closest friends, your best friends.
have you bounced on a trampoline before ?
you fall on it, & it bounces you up !
it sends you soaring high above the ground.
no matter how heavy you are,
if you buy the correct kind of trampoline,
it will be able to hold your weight :)
when you fall on a trampoline,
it doesnt only catch you, it sends you flying back up !

but you know something ?
it depends on your weight & the quality of the net,
that will determine the height you'll reach.
you need to keep jumping on the trampoline,
to ensure the net is still strong.
because, if you leave it there, for a long period of time,
the net contracts, and the next time you fall on it,
you'll fall through,
because its so used to being still, without any movement.

right now,
i feel like im falling through my trampoline net.
im not really touching the ground yet,
i've not quite fallen through yet.
but thing is, i dont know if the net,
wants to allow me to fall through.
i dont quite know if the net is ready,
to let me fall straight through, and hit the floor,
because there hasnt been much movement lately.
and im so unsure about how strong the net is,
if im still able to put my faith in knowing that the net will catch me,
and not let me fall straight through.

i've ranted quite enough, really.

i kind of miss you,
& i dont know where you are,
or how you are, anymore.
i do miss you, & your company.
i miss talking to you & your silly antics.
i miss having a best friend, that made me smile.
where have you gone ? pokepoke.

from the bottom of my heart,
i really am happy for you.
im overjoyed that you've found such bliss :)
but i'd really like, to have you back,
just a small tad bit of your presence back,
as a best friend, a person that i could confide in,
& someone that i could openly rant to,
& a person that i knew, would do his best to make me smile.
i really kind of miss your company.

please keep your cliche phrases to yourself, love.
i know what you're going to say.
dont say it, because its cliche, & both of us know it :)

goodbye everyone.

The Bliss of Doing Nothing In Particular

2005-07-30T22:31:00.000+08:00

i have a huge grin on my face now,
because i did absolutely no work today ! :D

i woke up incredibly late,
so late, i didnt even get to see sunlight.
then, sat around, slacking,
watching nothing in particular.

i like slacking around,
i like being lazy.
i like sleeping :)

when i open my eyes tomorrow,
i would be greeted with piles of work to be done.
dear god, help me, amen.

i am going to sleep, again.
oh, blissful rest :)
maybe i'd get to see my prince charming in my dreams,
oh, his amaranthine charms, indeed :)

im looking forward to it.

Satays & Roti Pratas

2005-07-24T16:53:00.000+08:00

i feel so blessed right now :)
i have this,
effervescent spirit, rising up in me !
hoorayhooray !
i just feel so blessed by god, right now,
because ive just realised that hes blessed me with friends.

not just plain acquaintances,
but strong friendships & relationships,
that i can rely on, and fall back on.
friendships, that i know i can run to,
and let myself fall,
and without a shadow of a doubt,
know that they'll be there to catch my fall :)
thankyou, thankyou, thankyou god.

its great that god's with me, spiritually,
but he has blessed me with physical beings,
to help me out, to bring me joy, love & laughter,
and simply, show me a slight glimpse of what pure bliss is,
to guide me along, till the very day,
i can be able to see my creator, face to face :)
it makes life, so much more endurable & enjoyable.

sure theres times when i feel alone,
cynical & despondent, & totally friendless.
but these days, god has really blessed me !
because now, even in those times,
i know that my friends love me & care for me,
its just that, they dont have the time to listen to me,
and i cant expect them to be there for me 24/7,
because i cant be there for them 24/7,
and we're all busy with the things we do :)

they're simply, just so special to me.
the way they treat me with such love & concern,
the way they accept me for who i am,
the way they know my habits,
like constantly being late, & taking forever to shower.
the way they've accustomed to my capricious moods,
just totally blows my mind :)
they must either, really want to be my friend,
or, they must really love me !
i'd like to think, its both :)

and there's my core group of friends,
that sticks by me, no matter what happens,
whether im an angel, or a total monster.
they'll stick by me, through my ups & downs,
and i know so, because they've done so :)
there's a few of them,
but i dont think they'll read it here,
except one person,
so, thankyou,
youve made my life so much more endurable,
thankyou for the endless joy & laughter,
and the countless eyeball rolling moments & lame jokes.

just to boost your ego a little,
you're absolutely charming,
and im totally apologetic for being such a brat lately :(
i've thrown tantrums, & constantly complained,
yet you still gallantly comforted me, & stomached it all in.
i'd like to think you're enduring the pains of this friendship,
because you love & cherish me,
not because, you totally dont care about me at all,
thats why it seems like, its so easy to grumble to you.

i'm missing you,
more than a fat kid on a diet misses his food,
and loving you,
more than alcoholic loves his booze :)

Troy is not part of Greece

2005-07-19T22:59:00.000+08:00

im suffering from a mental block :(
and a hand cramp.

stupid weather.

mental block,
urghhhh.
i cant even piece simple words together,
or remember simple names.

im trying to write a sad piece of writing,
about the tragic demise of hector,
andromache's husband.
- roll eyes
you know, hector, from Troy ?
yeah, him.

im getting more upset,
as im writing it,
since its a reflective piece,
being the persona of andromache,
his wife.
boohooo :(

i dont like this,
i dont like this at all !

i dont like mental blocks :(
but at least,
im equivalent to helen,
paris' wife,
well, based on looks,
or so someone says.

Sambal Stingrays & Hokkien Mee

2005-07-15T22:20:00.000+08:00

you know something ?
dont answer, its a rhetorical question.
i'll answer :)
god is simply, so awesome.
he's so majestic, so wondrous,
so phenomenal, so spectacular,
so beautiful, so mind-blowing !

i cant even describe how awesome god is,
let alone, describe him !
im speechless.
he is beyond words.
humans created words.
god created humans.
how can humans something bigger than them ?
wow.

he is, inconceivable,
because he's totally bigger than me,
bigger than any of us.
how can we, humans, be able to understand his plans,
and his works & everything ?
we, being humans, are so confused.
we are complicated, confused, living organisms.
and we've got trouble trying to understand science,
maths, geography, english, chinese,
or whatever we learn in school,
how can we even try to understand god's plans?
(keeping in mind, that he is the creator of all creation)

so really, to understand his plan,
to know the ABCs of his plan,
is only for God, to understand.
cos we're too confused.
and we'd probably just get even more confused.
so god, being so incredibly awesome,
gave us, a simple formula,
follow me, love me, worship me,
and, obey me.

of course, humans confuse themselves even futher,
by exploring the improbable possibilities of,
"maybe god isnt real!" and yada yada,
but the formula's there,
all you've gotta do, is follow it, really.
as simple as 1, 2, 3, and A, B, C.
[ if youre able to read this whole entry,
im hoping you know your ABC and 123,
to the smart alecks who say they dont,
STOP LYING or go back to kindergarten :) ]
besides, its only fair that we follow, love,
worship & obey, the god that created us ?
that loves us, and died for us, to redeem us,
from sin, from sufferings, from fear, from restraints.

he's given up his life,
for us, so we may live a life of freedom,
so that we dont have to live under oppression, in fear.
god, lay his life down for me,
why should i not love him?
why should i not follow him?
why should i not worship him?
why should i not obey him?
yeah, why should i not ?
thats why i do :)

he went to hell and back, for me.
and he did that, for you too.
you, are such a lucky person :)

praise jesusssss ! :D

alright, im done here.
i feel wonderful today.
i feel, spiritual !
i feel, in love & so overwhelmed.
i feel happy, cheerful & totally rockin !

yoooohoooo,
i miss you !

just because,

so she'd captivate me with her resplendent smile,

i have absolutely no idea what to blog about. but for the sake of updating, i'll think of something.

i lashed out at the one and only, joshua, today. again. ive been yelling at him, giving him attitude, and being a total brat, these few days. ive been so nitpicky, picking on him, and getting jealous for no apparent reason.im so guilty :/

hes been such a darling lately.not only has he not grumbled about my moodswings, and tempers, he said "i toldja before u can do that all u want=)" in reply, to my apology.how amazing is he! ive been grumbling and mumbling about being so upset,and started to pick fight with him for no reason,and lashed out at him in anger and annoyance.i agree sometimes hes a tad bit tactless,but other times, hes not too bad at all.

hes fluent with his words, so sweet talking is a breeze for him. hmmmm. i think ive praise him enough! his ego might bloat, and i wouldnt want that :)

joshhhh : thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for being such a nice boy lately :) i really do appreciate it, yea? youve been so forgiving and generous lately, i feel special. heh. thankyou for listening to all my rubbish and junk, and for supporting me in any way you can. even though im constantly on a moodswing! hahah, i'll try to treat you better in the future :)

I FEEL LIKE QUEEN [and joshua can be my servant]

2005-06-09T14:26:00.000+08:00

its hilarious how people constantly say, "oh, i've got a whole load of work to do, i dont see how i'm going to survive!" but if you actually thought about the incalculable times you've said the same thing, you would realise that you are actually, incredibly amazing :) well, i think i am. i've repeated the same phrase, "ugh, so much work, i think im going to die," so many times in my life, i would have to die and come back to life, many many times. hahaha. yet, im still alive, and passing my subjects with pretty good results :)

mugging, pays off. it really does. even if it means mugging for six hours straight, and only going to bed at six, in the morning. but you feel so contented with yourself, because you know you're prepared for the battle.

eleven more days, and i'm totally free. these eleven days are going to be hell. but im going to feel like im the queen of the world, when ive finished the term :)

the princess is going to be a huggermugger and go mug, with a mug of peppermint tea :D

Being restless, does not equal to being bored

2005-05-29T18:42:00.000+08:00

another post, by me.

joshua's far too lazy to update his own blog, and i'm really bored at the moment, so its your good luck that the entries are actually, changing :)

my mind isnt working well at the moment, i think im having a temporary mental block. ohdear. photography isnt as glamourous, or easy, as many may think. its not just simply, holding the camera and snapping away. so much more than that.

its amazing how much a photograph can capture. the emotions, the movement, the voices, and the beauty. a photograph, is like the hardcopy of a memory.

it could be a photograph of nature, to capture the beauty of what surrounds us, and be reminded of the power of god, and how magnificent he is. it could be a photograph of your friends and family, to capture the happy moments spent with them, to be reminded that god has blessed us so deeply with loved ones on earth. physical beings, to help us through each day, to shower us with love and care, and see us through, to that one final day, when we can finally see god face to face.

i think ive rambled on long enough :) oh june holidays are here, hiphiphooray for you guys, but not me :)

have a great week :) goodbye everyone.

this blog is getting lifeless. the colours are so dull, the only thing keeping this blog alive, is the amusing cursor that wriggles like a worm. however, my computer tends to lag quite a bit, the cursor doesnt seem all that amusing anymore.

anyway, on a happier and more excited note, i met up with some riverlifers that are residing in this foreign land :D the bigger names that most of you would get excited about are, pastor ken teo and his family, and kian wei. if youre from vs cg, then maybe you'll get more excited at kian wei's name :) hes doing really well, and really proud of you guys! i told him that the vs cg's multiplying, like bacteria in a dumpster. hes glad to know that his cg didnt just wither and die, after david passed it over to joshua. so claps to you, joshua and alexi :) he "ooooh"ed when i told him that joshua is leading cg with alexi. it was a good "ooooh" so, hooray to you guys :)

ohyes.and kian wei said something,about joshua talking to him about tofu,during dinner. something about the goodness tofu has, or the products tofu can make, or something along those lines.how irrelevant,but so totally joshua-like.it managed to make kian wei think that joshua's intellectual and wise, because he talked about tofu.

ive english essay to hand in tomorrow,but i really cant be bothered doing it.i'll make up some silly excuse, look really sincere, and pray that god would make a way for her to believe my lame excuse :) commerce retest tomorrow,hooray.rather prepared for it this time,actually did notes :) hahaha.

*rolls eyes* i'm so tired, i feel like crawling under the blanket and sleep. but no, i have a stupid essay to complete! i have a SAC tomorrow, which will contribute to my VCE points. i feel so stupid for taking religious education as my VCE subject. urghhhhh.

and joshua's not helping, not even a tiny bit. only for the fact that he argued with me about "one sin" and "two sins" and "99999 sins", and that wives should submit to their husbands. not helpinggggggg! i feel like kicking him in the shin already.

when joshua grows up, he wants a room half-filled with plastic balls, so he can build a slide and slide into the pool of plastic balls. does that sound kiddy to you? it does to me. oh, yes. and he wants an aquarium filled with water and corals, but no fishes. hmmmm. thats, just weird.

well, when i grow up and get married, i want a nice house, and i shall have a queen size bed to myself :D or have a room, that has a bed tailored to fit perfectly into the size of the room ! muahahas. yes baby, yes. then it'll definately be called the BEDroom. hahaha. get it? okay, nevermind. my future husband can pay for all my expenses, hahaha. which silly person wants a room half filled with silly plastic balls, tsk. waste of space!

goodness. not only is joshua not helping me with my essay, hes discriminating me! hes critisizing me! :( instead of complimenting my beauty, hes saying im ugly :( am i not as beautiful as aphrodite, huh! *flicks hair in your face*

i shall go and do my essay now, hmpf ! joshua chan is a horrid, horrid man.

---- add ----

in addition, i conclude that joshua isnt as horrid as i thought he was. he did two points for me :) and im a very happy person now. aww, thanks josh :D hahaha. i owe you a lunch plus study session.

more essay time :( and joshua's asleep already. he has abandoned me for sweet slumber, urgh.

The Demise of a Hero

2005-05-09T21:53:00.000+08:00

Simple apology not enough, says A*Star It wants 'unreserved apology' from PhD student by Sunday

Weekend • May 7, 2005

Ansley Ng ansley@newstoday.com.sg

UNHAPPY with his first apology, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) has given the student accused of defaming the agency on his Web log (blog) until Sunday to retract his alleged defamatory statements and "apologise unreservedly".

Former Public Service Commission scholar Chen Jiahao, who broke his bond last year, had last week removed his blog and posted an apology on his website for "having hosted or made remarks which Mr Yeo felt were defamatory to him and the agency that he leads".

He had also promised not to mention Mr Yeo or A*Star again by name on the website.

But the agency was not satisfied with Mr Chen's apology, saying it was "not unreserved and not good enough".

On his website, Mr Chen had prefaced the apology with the remark: "Unfortunately in recent days, the price of maintaining the content which used to be accessible at this URL has become too high for the author to afford."

He had also included a quote by American Wendell Phillips, a 19th century advocate of anti-slavery, which read: "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty."

At a press conference yesterday, an A*Star spokesman declined to say what the alleged defamatory statements were. He would only say they were "direct accusations, or something that A*Star has done, involving a third party".

The agency also said two lawyers it consulted had agreed that some of the statements were defamatory.

"A*Star has not sued Mr Chen and is giving him an opportunity to retract the defamatory statements and publish an acceptable apology," the spokesman said. "Though Mr Chen has removed his entire blog, he has not retracted the defamatory statements and provided an acceptable apology. We hope Mr Chen will respond positively."

On April 22, A*Star chairman Philip Yeo had informed Mr Chen, who is a chemical physics PhD student at the University of Illinois, via email that one of the posts on his blog was marked for legal action. In more than one email, Mr Yeo even invited Mr Chen to tea to find out the reasons for his statements, said the spokesman.

Mr Chen replied that they would meet "if time permits".

As of press time, Mr Chen had not replied to Today's email queries.

----------------------------

Freedom of expression is one of the sacrosancts of the American constitution. Enshrined in the First Amendment, this fundamental right is also a key factor in political involvement and awareness. With the recent push for creativity and for Singaporeans to challenge old boundaries, things were looking up in the pseudo-democracy called Singapore. With OB markers being widened and the receptiveness of the government with relation to public feedback, it appeared that Singapore was on course for a major shift in the political climate.

Such was not to be. The ruling party appeared for a major change in attitude, but at the last moment, reverted back to its Machiavellian tendencies. The intimate union of the judiciary, executive and legislative, under the banner of the PAP. The lack of the freedom of expression in Singapore is especially apparent with regards to the political arena. Chee Soon Juan, Francis Seow, J.B. Jayaretnam, Tang Liang Hong have all experienced the wrath of the incumbents and the ex-incumbents.

Such a political climate has always been the halmark of Singapore, however, recent developments have shown that the Big Brother attitude of the government has even infringed unto and defiled the sanctity of the internet. This should be no surprise as it is merely a Machiavellian extension to the totalitarian actions of the Singapore government. As early as the 1980s the government has attempted to restrict political discussion on the internet. Today, it has succeeded in destroying one of the last bastions of truth in Singapore.

Naturally in this conflict between state and individual, the state will triumph easily. As always, the totalitarian, nepotist, kleptocratic, pseudo-democractic state will win, not by reason and logic, but by brute force and sheer abuse of its political muscle.

JOSHUA IS WHINEY.

let me rant.

joshua, has been whining in his bed about the most nonsensical subjects. whilst, on the other hand, i have been at my desk, trying to work as hard as i can, to concentrate as hard as i can, for the upcoming test...in approx. six hours time. oh i shall meet my doom. here i am, thinking about the one thing that would bring a smile to my face, the sweet comfort of my bed. yet, joshua can be lying in his comfy and warm bed, whining. goodness. *inaudible mutter* i feel like smacking him already :X

i dont see why i have to do a photograph analysis, when its just so straight to the point. the photo's there, the elements and principles are there. who really cares about the form or tone, emphasis or rhythm. urghhhhhhhh.

science paper and maths paper. total goner. not even halfway through the homework. i havent reached revision yet. im still up to the homework part. and i aint even halfway through it. not even up to the halfway mark. i lack motivation. joshua, its your responsibility to motivate me from now on. arent you glad, im giving you an important job :)

urghhh. back to homeworking. rather, attempt to do homework. sigh. onefiftyseven. i want to sleep, so badly. the laziness. urghhhh.

i have an enigmatic password.

2005-05-07T11:56:00.000+08:00

this is another entry that will not confuse the minds of normal human beings. i am here, to relieve the agony that joshua has been causing many others, tormenting their noggins with his grandiloquent and snooty manner. hoho :)

im so bored, and joshua has a really stupid and confusing password! its so, not straightforward.youve got to beat around the bush,before coming to the password. urghhhs. *pulls hair*

im really bored.its not that i havent got anything to do - im procrastinating.

i used to think, when soccer players fall over, clutch their thigh and wail in pain, they were not only sportsmen, but they were actors too. im so incredibly wrong, it really does hurt a lot! to strain your hamstring, is incredibly painful. i learn a new lesson everyday.

joshua's happily eating pizza hut :( but instant noodle meegoreng with egg is so much better, mmm. the nutrition levels, yes.

i'll stop sprouting nonsense here, because this blog is meant to contain the intellectual works of joshua chan. ahaha. what a smartdonkey you are, josh :)

goodbye :)

Accessibility & Understandability

2005-05-02T22:49:00.000+08:00

The best writing are those which can be read and understood by the hoi polloi of society, in this case, the common people on the blogosphere. As one blogger so aptly put it, people bloghop searching for interesting anecdotes about other's lives, not for a socio-political commentary. Also, due to the objurgation from many people about my high brow magniloquence, I have decided to tone down on the bombast from this period onwards.

So much stress is piling up, there's the O levels, ACJC science challenge, VJC science challenge, Great science challenge, and Chinese O level paper 1, Chinese O level paper 2, Chinese O level paper 3, Chinese O level oral, Chinese Prelim paper 1, Chinese Prelim paper 2, Chinese Prelim paper 3. UGHH. And i'm only up to page 3 out of my 100+ pages of notes.

But even in the stress I'm not stressed, if that makes sense to you, for the joy of the Lord will be my strength. Isaiah 35 really showed me God's grace, mercy and love. For all things work out for the good of those who loves him.

joshua, youre horrid :D

2005-04-27T22:27:00.000+08:00

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

hahahaha :) for once, we can have a really lame and stupid post, that consist of absolutely no bombastic words that would blow your mind up :) the words that i will use, in this entry, are for normal human beings. and arent you happy? the title for once, is not of a quote, or anything very much too smart for a normal average adolescent :)

so anyway, let me rant. joshua has a really horrible password. its too smart and too messy for me to remember. its stupid. really stupid, who thinks of passwords like that ?!! only chan wen yong, joshua. pffbt.

okay. im done updating, so this blog doesnt go stale :) hahahaha. joshua, update your blog. my post is far too under the mark of your intellect to be qualified to be under this url :D hahahaha.

and yes, this actually isnt joshua updating. no, he doesnt have a split personality, dont worry :) goodbye.

The Coffin Is Too Big For The Hole

2005-04-15T20:38:00.000+08:00

My right thumb is 4mm wider than my left thumb, no thanks to bowling. Now my right thumb can't seem to fit into my strike ball (Brunswick Punisher) and i ended up bowling 11 games today with my spare ball (Ebonite Maxim) which apparently is 3 pounds lighter, and surprisingly managed to get quite a decent score. I think I'll get my thumb hole enlarged sometime soon.

The extensively bureaucratised education system is Singapore is like the thumb hole which is too small. Initially it may seem fit just nicely, or even feel a little loose. I have to admit, the unaware and uneducated primary school me found school to be fun. School indeed was fun, playing catching and hide and seek, gambling with country erasers and punching up the smallest boy in class. Perhaps the age-old adage "Ignorance is bliss" does ring true in this time and age.

As time goes by, and people become more aware, perceptive and intelligent, more adept at handling the bowling ball and manipulating it, perhaps we find the thumb hole a little too tight, the OB markers a little to constrictive. The rules implemented and the people who implement them are by far losing their influence on us. Their stranglehold on our appearances and actions remain, but surreptitiously, a guerilla war is being waged on all fronts against the bastions of bureaucracy in the school.

The bureaucrats of the school, once seen to be awe-inspiring and imposing, are now seen as inept kleptocrats ruling by brute force. The rules of the school, once kept to and adhered to religiously, are now seen to be totalitarian and draconian. This perspective has not been helped by the fact that the discipline board refuses to explain their rationale behind the most laughable and preposterous rulings, but instead rewards generously any perceived recalcitrance with decibels.

This is not a simple grumbling about being scolded for wearing mildly visible socks, or for being reprimanded for follically defying the laws of gravity. It is about the attitudes of the autocrats in school, the unholy trinity of principle-less principals, vice advocating vice principals, and DM. I have no opposition to the use of force to ensure students toe the line, but pray, kindly tell us the rationale for the line. Rules have to be followed, or chaos will ensue, but our current set of rules have gone beyond ensuring order and infringed into our personal space and privacy.

Society is changing, and with it the mindsets of people. No longer can the stifling and restrictive environment, in which the post-war generation thrived, apply to the new generation of students. Students' prespectives are drastically changing, and with it the attitudes of the school must change as well, in order to keep to its role as educating and mentoring. If, the role still stands, or has ever stood.

The Gay Blog

2005-04-14T17:34:00.000+08:00

This blog is gay! You can see that it is gay, the purple and pink signs of its unique preferences. Your first reaction was probably along the lines of "OMG GAY PLZZZZ!". But is homosexuality no more than simply the outward, characteristic "wimpiness" or effeminate behaviour? Surely homosexuality is more surreptitious than that.

This blog is gay, not only because of how it looks, but also because of what goes on inside. The blog is gay because some colour codes, which normally would code for masculine black or navy, have been altered to exhibit feminine pink and purple. Similarly homosexuals in real life are not gay because of how they talk, walk, or gesticulate, but rather are gay because of their inherent sexual inclinations.

Homosexuals are increasingly permeating Singapore's society and are increasingly being accepted among the youths. It is not uncommon to see girls behaving intimately with girls in public, although insofar I have never seen their counterparts in public. This desensitisation of morally detestable behaviour is among the most powerful in the brainwashing of youths to accept and even embrace such immoral hedonistic practises.

Apropos, before you take me to be a ultra-conservative bigot, let me explain why homosexuality is immoral.

Homosexuality has finally united Religion and Science in their viewpoints on this matter. Darwin states that the sole reason for existence of a species is to replicate itself, in other words, to reproduce. Homosexuality does not allow for reproduction of a species, it is simply biologically impossible. Thus extinction of the species is a real possibility if homosexuality becomes too prevalent. Natural selection and genetic variation favour a large population to optimise these processes, homosexuals, by virtue of not being able to reproduce, effectively remove themselves from the active gene pool.

Religion too is obviously very much against homosexuality, the Roman-Catholics, Muslims, Christians, and almost all the mainstream religions have doctrines which do not support homosexuality.

Homosexuals are humans too, but that is as far as their fundamental rights go. Homosexuals can never be truly free if they are trapped in the cycle of homosexuality. Thus in conclusion, homosexuality, is gay!
