-And i'm putting blogging on hold.
Sorry I haven't been updating (I seem to be saying that alot lately), but i just haven't felt like writing anything, call it writer's block or whatever but i think my poetic inspiration has deserted me (at least temporarily). I haven't written anything reasonably good since i got back from OBS and i can't think of anything clever (or at the very least stupid in a funny way) to write or say so until I get my wits back, i'm putting blogging on hold.
Anyway its the holidays, and everything we don't associate with holidays (homework, CCA, competitions, projects and the like) are filling my hands with tasks i don't want to do. The way things are, calling them holidays is almost hypocrisy. On the bright side though, i fly to Chicago to see my brother and other people in 2 weeks, and frankly this is the biggest highlight of my year right now. So what with me being away and busy and all, don't expect much out of my blog for June. BTW to all the people who are doing projects with me that need to be handed when school re-opens, just mail me stuff that i can do on a computer and i shld be able to do it while i'm in the states or preferably before i leave.
Thats all for now, happy holidays all.
Ok, first things first. Sorry i haven't been updating but my computer was killed by a virus this week so Dad had to get one from the office so we could have a computer at home that i could use. Life seems really shitty right now because all my data and stuff were on the other computer so it'll take awhile before I can get everything in order.
Fortunately though, I have a usable computer again and can actually do stuff online now. For the past few weeks i've been wondering about what to do with this blog thing and i've decided to be more serious about my blogging. I'm sure lots of you read my brother's blog (bigfuck.blogspot) and hes really good at what he does, making people laugh. I on the other hand have no such ability, which is why i won't even bother trying to write comically and embarrass myself when measured up against my brother. So I decided to go the opposite direction, into politics and philosophy and whatnot. From here on out i'll discuss all sorts of serious stuff on my blog so that people like Steve Mc Dermott from
http://singabloodypore.blogspot.com/(who seems to be convinced that most Singaporeans are shallow idiots) will be proven wrong.
In answer to the people who've been asking me why i changed my layout. Well I did so for two reasons. Firstly the original layout wasn't done by me but was actually downloaded or something by Cheryl and it just wouldn't do for me to use someone else's layout for my blog. The second reason is that Rurouni Kenshin isn't the centerpiece of my life and for that reason shouldn't be the centerpiece of my blog. I know that this layout isn't as cool or flashy but it'll do for now.
So to start of the serious business i'll be talking about the "intergrated resorts" (or as the rest of the sensible world calls them, casinos) we're going to be building. Their construction just shows how bloody idiotic the Singaporean government is and shows just how undemocratic the system has been about it. The fact that the PAP where able to ram through the decision without consenting parliment and despite overwhelming public opposition just shows how powerful they have become and how apathetic we Singaporeans are about it. Please give comments on this topic so we can start a lively debate on it. Thanks all
There and back again (OBSabah)
Ladies & gentlemen, boys & girls,
I AM HOME.
After one week spent without real food, sleep and toilets I have finally returned from the bug-infested jungles and mountains of Sabah Malaysia. I have never felt so good to see this tiny, over-crowded, hot, super stressful piece of over-regulated and regimented island in my entire life(I mean Singapore in case your stupid) I am seriously deliriously happy to be home again.
The entire camp can be summarized in a phrase, it was a harrowing, torturous and ridiculously difficult experience which most pampered Singaporean people would never want to have to go through(ok so it was abit longer than a phrase, so sue me). I would write on and tell you all about it but you can ask the 49 other people who went with me and they would probably all agree with the above description (also because the camera i took along had a crank up and all the pictures i took were destroyed). I could tell you the story without them, but you know what they say, seeing is believing and it just wouldn't be the same without any pictures.
One thing I am not happy about though is that now that i'm back i have to go to school again. What with an unholy horde of common tests around the corner i simply am not looking forward to going back to Fairfield tomorrow. I also have a mountain of homework left to do which i haven't touched and won't touch(till tomorrow at least).
Lastly, life really sucks right now because Guild Wars happens to be 40 bucks more expensive than i expected it to be. (Damn MMORPGs) So i'm stuck with Battle for middle-earth and emperor of the fading suns for little while longer.
(Oh well playing computer is bad for me anyway)
Shadowshield
Shadow, dark, doom, dreading,
darkness comes and blankets over
Light, coming, running, shining,
night flees flees the bright
Fly, flee, run, gone,
woe and sorrow follow after
Shuffle, hustle, diappear in the shadows,
cloak yourself in the shield of darkness
Run, run, hide, huddle,
cower in a dark corner
Wait, still, lonely, fearful,
afraid of the truth the light brings
