About the short movie from netherland
Am referring to "FITNA", well in case you wanna know what it's all about, you can check at youtube. better do it fast, in case they remove it due to certain external pressures. And before someone starts flaming me, I am not promoting anything, so just chill!!
My response is: Humans are capable of horrendous acts... I am totally appalled. Religion can go really awry when it's wrongly-or perhaps literally- interpreted. There should not be any justification in intentionally taking people's life. I guess peace is just a figment of imagination of Utopians that will never be realised.
The Muslim community would consequently feel angered by the film for depicting them as a cold blooded terrorists that would take any means of cleansing the world from infidels. Nevertheless, before immediately establishing angered disapproval without even viewing the movie, perhaps one should view it first hand and be a judge, instead of listening to hearsay that could fuel whatever fires they are trying to start.
First of all, the scenes are facts presented in a very biased manner. Still, one needs to introspect, whether the movie contains the slightest truth of the current state. I believe, one would say those terrorists are just a small fraction of the Muslim community. But then again, to be able to perform such highly coordinated and funded operation requires a lot of man powers. Instead of presuming that it's not going to happen or there is no terrorist around us, you might want to think again. What actually is going on, what went wrong, and what will go wrong in the future if we remain in status quo. Religion is meant to be a bridge between man and God, and to be peaceful in nature, to maintain certain order in the society. unfortunately some have chosen it to be a valid reasoning to persecute others.
Responding violently towards the film will only prove the whole idea of the film. Isn't it an irony?
Violence has never been an answer/solution to anything, it will only fuel further violence, and it becomes cyclical with no end.

Hot Saturday
Yesterday was an extremely HOT day, with a short period of rain. When I mentioned hot, I'm not just referring to the weather, if u get the drift.
I went for a 1 star kayaking course, started at 9 am -4pm. I do go kayaking once in a while with my bf on weekends, usually after lunch. Now I realised I should have come earlier. It was crowded in the morning, and you wouldn't believe how many hot guys out there. It's like there's a gathering of hunks from all over Singapore at McRichie Reservoir. Chiseled tanned muscular bods glistening under the bright sun, engaging in a manly sport, kayaking. My eyes kept wandering, dang it. Can see but cannot touch... why why the world is so unfair *weeps* anyways, most of the guys there were from JCs and Uni's kayaking team. The view of the reservoir was great, but the hunks were better. I wish I can take one home ^_^
Now about the kayaking course, I didn't know that it can be that tough. The first thing they taught us was what to do when the kayak capsize. And do you know what they asked us to do? they asked us to get on the kayak, capsize it, tap 3 times on the kayak while still being under water and then come out from it. it was fun ^^
Can't wait for my next session of the course which is next Saturday.

Random stuffs
I can't believe that the last time i posted was in August, and that was when school started. So I have 3 life commitments now, work, study, and relationship. it is definitely ain't easy to handle. what happened with my social life >_<, non existent.
I just finished my final exam last week. 3 papers in a week, it was horrendous. I had an exam on tues afternoon, followed by another on weds morning. I ended up not sleeping at all. Thank goodness it's all over, at least for now.
So, what's the big news in sg? It's regarding 377A, an archaic law that says it's illegal for guys to have oral and anal sex with another guy. There have been debates, arguments thrown around whether to retain or repeal. Well, obviously the outcome is to retain the freakin' law, what can you expect from Singapore government. The government states that 377A will be retained but shall not be enforced. duhh... if it's not going to be enforced, why the hell do they retain it then....
the conservative "christian" is trumpeting victory over it. I have so many things to say bout this, but I wanna keep this posting short.
- it's down right hypocrisy (the act of condemning another person for an act of which the critic is guilty). the government allows the same sexual conduct to be legal for heterosexual. those people are mental, oral and anal sex are decent for hetero, but indecent for homo. one of the NMP (Nominated Member of Parliament) was equating anal sex with poking a straw into the nose..... duhh..... and she graduated from Harvard law school. I'm lost..
So why is it legal for hetero? cos they are doing it, as simple as that
-In theory, the government must protect each citizen equally, unbiased and it should be reflected on the law. But sadly, throughout the history of mankind, it has never been the case. Why should the "moral" values of the majority be taken as the absolute truth, when it's not. That's probably why there were laws in USA legalising slavery, banning inter-racial marriages, in Africa, apartheid, in m'sia, bumiputera policy. Humans are capable of horrible things....
-Then we have religions coming into the picture. I was a christian, and i emphasize on the past tense. Do I believe in god? yes, perhaps. Do I believe in the institutions claiming they are speaking on behalf of god? absolute no. Is this really what you call love? hate the sin but not the sinner. but is it really a sin? Remember when the church jailed Galileo for stating the world is round because it contradicts the popular belief held by the church that the earth was flat? How bout the ban of condoms by the church.... That's what I call archaic.
It's fine if they want to impose such rules in their community (this would be another debate) but they should not impose their moral standards to others. Arrogance
-Homosexual is not a mental problem. the world's community of psychologist has agreed on that. the debate has been raging regarding the cause of homosexuality, between nature versus nurture. Certain studies have shown that it's in the genetics, and such trend has been seen on other species as well. How many ex-gay are there? does it really work? doubtful.
Singapore still has a long way to go to come out from their shell.
gotta go back to work. cheers.

I'm back
I don't know what's the meaning of bangkok in thai, but for a layman like me, it sounds sooo gay >_< (or maybe i'm just perverted ^_^)
anyways, I got back on weds, the first week of August, but I didn't hv time to post anything. Work has been overwhelming, and on top of that, school has already started. it's just crazy, well bangkok and pattaya was great and it has quite a liberal gay scene. The old caucasians are stealing all the spotlight >_<
am just gonna post "Anthem" by Alfian Sa'at (he's an excellent writer)
One day we will learn to love ourselves.
The fat ones will stop dreaming of chubchasers,
Those fauns who hangs from love-handles.
The skinny ones will dare to wear tight tops.
The old ones will stop claiming they look
At least five years younger , over telephones.
The young ones will walk into pubs and
Not feel the need to be needy.
We will learn that muscles are like doorknobs,
That hint nothing about the empty rooms,
But only of hydraulics.
Just because a body has been pierced,
Tanned, or landscaped with tough flesh,
Does not make it an armour.
Just because a body has not been touched,
Does not mean it is eager for lessons

near my breakdown point
Is suicidal tendency genetically inherited? Or is it something normal for a person to experience.
I have such inclination towards suicide since I was in secondary. Secondary was chaotic, I would the stereotype geek that gets bullied easily. At that point in time, everything seemed to have gone wrong, broken family, financial crisis, racial riots. I tend to prefer the easy way out, which is death. But why am I still alive? no chance probably. Is it a sign of depression and stress.
This suicidal thought persists even until today, it would come every now and then. It is so tempting to just jump from tall buildings or onto the train's track and end life. But I choose not to.
Been having problems at work, unreasonable demands from my supervisor, spoiled equipments, conferences. They keep piling up and most of the time, things are out of my control. For conference, typically, one would come out with an idea, and conduct the experiments then write a paper, but that doesn't work that way under my supervisor. If you have an idea, then you have to submit an abstract for a conference, eventhough you are uncertain whether it might work. If it's accepted, then you start doing experiments and pray that everything will go smoothly, which doesn't happen most of the time. At the end of the day, you have to use any available data and tweak it here and there. I am doing it now.... No credibility and professionalism.
I don't really enjoy my job, the only reason why I'm still staying is because I'm considered as the key person of this project that I'm doing. They would not have enough time to recruit someone new and finish the project on time. So, eventhough I may not like it, I have to persevere and complete the job.
It confuses me, Do I like the job but not the supervisor, or the other way around, or perhaps I don't like both. things are quite obscure at the moment, but one thing for sure, I dislike my supervisor.

lao ban is back
I have got tons of work to do now. My boss was away for two weeks, and that was the period when one can feel liberated, at least for a short while^^. He's quite remarkable, his flight from Paris arrived in the morning, and he was in the office in the afternoon. Doesn't he feel tired? A good way to shorten one's life span I might say. I am rushing for next week's conference ><, am gonna die.... again.....RIP
