musings about the death penalty

aiyah honestly i believe the death penalty should be abolished with regards to drugs lar...i'm just pissed that the fuckin aussies are being all high and mighty like they normally are...i think that the death penalty shld be used only for 1st degree murder

for those that believe the death penalty shld be abolished altogether...i bid u to think about this scenario....

one fine nite when ur not at home, a burglar comes into ur house and tries to steal stuff...ur mom, dad and sis are at home though...ur mom wakes up and sees the burglar...she screams...to shut her up, he runs to the kitchen, finds a knife and cuts her throat. ur sis and dad are awakened by the commotion. ur dad tries to fight the burglar. however he gets overpowered, and the burglar ends up stabbing ur dad. finally he pounces on ur sis, rapes her and then kills her to leave no witnesses....
the burglar gets caught the next day. he confesses to everything

let me ask u then

should he get hanged? or shld he get sentenced to life in prison, where every morning he is able to wake up, to hear live his life, to see the sunlight.

if u can say that u don't believe the guy shld hang, then i say to u good for you. perhaps you're a better person than me, because if it were me, i'd want the fucker to burn in hell. not when he dies of old age, but soon, after he gets strangled by the executioner's rope...

God forbid i do hope this situation never ever happens to anyone of us..

HUNG??

A History of Violence is nice...not so much the plot, but rather the acting, and how the characters are developed...especially Viggo Mortenson's...theres a line which i like...where hes asked...'Are you Joey?"..and he replies "I am" (or "Yes". i can't rem)...u can see the change thats happened, that he finally believes that hes joey...but anwiae go watch

i typed a comment on the bbc website about the Nguyen hanging...hopefully they'll publish it but i don't think so....i just put my name as jeremy cos bo ji to give my surname...but i put my email address so yah...
Hes gonna get whacked on friday...anyone wanna take bets on if the hanging is gonna be done??? cos i wanna bet that its freakin definite...honestly i'll be disappointed if it doesn't...disappointed that we gave in to the aussies...if i don't sound very sympathetic...its cos i'm not...like i said...the consequences are bluddy well known...

what can they do aniwae...ban s'pore students frm goin back to uni?? haha i'll be screwed lar i know but their economy will be the shits...actually no lar i exaggerate but u get the point i think?

sean if ur readin pls remember the 151...i'll be really sad if u come thru the airport gates without a bottle of bacardi 151..i'll go ur house and hound u and generally make a nuisance of myself..which i'm sure ur very aware i'm capable of...i might spill wanton mee on ur sofa...haha no lar i can't bear to i love ur freakin sofa...looking forward to lying on it my fren...come back soon

movies

jus watched SPL, no not Scottish Premier League...
one thing i have to say..its is seriously freaking violent, and not the kind in war movies the bang bang violent or horror movies gruesome violent stuff...but goodness...theres this scene when this poor cop gets cut up like some char siew even i winced....there was this ang moh girl sittin next to me..think shes french, and no i dunno why she and her bf were watching SPL....she was covering her eyes for long periods of the movie, and normally i'd be har har har tsk tsk girls, but this time i dun blame her

but do watch the movie..its not too bad...its not the best, but its still nice.. the donnie yen and the bad guy knife / baton fight is amazin...

go watch pride and prejudice too...its simply delightful haha...had this stupid grin on my face when the movie ended

doctors and hangings

ok this is the first time i'm gonna veer abit into politics stuff..i really hope the ISD doesn't monitor blogs..

went to see the doc jus now for my cough and cold and watever...told him bout my jaw thing oso...most of u shld know bout it...can't rem exactly what he said but was smth to do wif the joint and the cartillage coming loose...gave me some pain medicine...said it'll heal by itself but it'll take a while,.mebbe some mths...told him i already have it for freakin 1 and 1/2 yrs..but of cos i din say freakin...can't take hard food...can't chew on my left....yesh now i have to become even more PICKY (ahem private joke here)

aniwae...the doc i go to is in balestier plaza...hes Lee Kuan Yew's brother apparently...din know till my mom told me..(this isn't confidential rite)...hes a really nice guy lar..been goin to him for a couple of years...ever since my other doc that used to be in balester plaza skipped the country on charges of embezzlement..but thats another story for another time...

so yeah anwiae we started talkin bout Perth and food there and weather and politics haha...talkin about the Nguyen hanging...I'm sure u all know what this is rite??? pls tell me u somewhat follow the news...

He was sayin that he actually went to meet the guy in jail...hes some JP GP dunno wat i din hear very well...but aniwae hes met the guy and the nguyen chap is a nice guy and too bad hes gonna be hanged but laws are laws...then we were talkin about how other countries shldn't be interfering in our legal system...i brought up the schapelle corby case (another one i'm SURE u guys know about RITE??)...and he said that we're diff cos Indonesia received millions in Tsunami aid whereas we din need their dollars...also said that the aussie politicians after what they did in the Corby case and the enormous bluddy pressure that they put on the Indos for her behalf..it wld be eminently double standards and racist if they din try and apply the same pressure here....

honestly i dun think John Howard or anyone there really expects s'pore to not hang the guy, but they have to go thru the motions to satisfy their electorate...and the spore govt understands that too...thats why we're (sorta) giving them face by delaying the execution for 3 wks

Personally...this isn't about whether we shld compromise and allow the guy a stay of execution or commute his sentence or watever...but its smacks of double standards...can u imagine...if a s'porean goes over to Sdyney and goes on a murderous rampage...he gets a life sentence...govt intercedes and says taht theres mitigating circumstances pls reduce his sentence or let him serve in spore or watever....there'll be a fuckin outcry and they'll tell us to fuck off...but here this is wat they expect...why? cos they hold the moral high ground? cos they have to uphold the 'white man's burden' (erm Kipling for those who dunno)...comeon lar gimme a break....this smacks of the 19th century where the western powers demanded that their citizens have extra territorial rights in other countries cos they din trust their legal system...

shld a drug trafficker be hanged?? thats another issue altogether...the deterrence factor is a huge one i admit....on to that but jus to reiterate my point..in this case...whether ornot hanging is humane, or whether we shld hang drug traffickers, or even have the death penalty, thats not the point...the point is that this is the law, this is OUR law...and everyone better jolly well follow it...its quite simple...u kill, u get hanged...u bring in drugs...u get hanged...u kidnap...u get hanged....simple thing? dun fuckin do it...nobody can help u if ur stupid...and really i dunno how he can get caught oso....we have so severe penalties but changi security to me is fuckin lax...theres no dogs and 99% of the time they dun even check ur bags as u go out....

ok aniwae that aside....personally..am i for the death penalty? what i think...i think if u plan, and go out and kill someone...u shld get hanged....if u traffick drugs, if u kidnap someone...u shldn't get hanged...its rahter too bluddy severe to hang someone, esp on 15g of heroin...thats waht i was tellin the doc...his name is Lee Suan Yew btw...but after that i shuddup and sorta agreed wif him an all....he is after all LKY's brother...call me paranoid but can't be too careful eh

and apparently chee soon juan is in Canberra agreeing wif the aussies and shit and sayin spore got no freedom....fuck lar...i dun like the PAP..i think they blatantly manipulate the system to hold on to power...but fuck i am a s'porean oso and i feel that such matters shld be handled in house...u dun bluddy go overseas like that idiot and start mouthing off against s'pore...ok yah fine i'm weird i know

so the point here is...be smart...dun kill anyone...dun traffick drugs...get stupid pple like Nguyen to do it for u...or hire professional hitmen if u wanna kill someone...dun be stupid and do it urself..

ermm so ends my first 'political' entry of any sort...i hope noone impt is readin...again, i know i'm paranoid, but fuck, pple have gotten sued and jailed for ALOT less (i.e JBJ, Chee, tang liang hong and the list goes on)...but yes i know i'm a nobody


on another note...i've put on 2kg since i've came back...fuck

more boosting the economy

was at the heeren traffic light just now and the light turned red so all the cars were stoppin when theres was this loud screeching sound and this bike skidded..guy fell to the floor..everyone was pretty stunned but luckily a few pple ran over to help the uncle..i see the drivers in the other cars oso fuckcare...jus look in frt pretend nothing happen...well done lar...s'pore for u
motorcycles are dangerous...but i still want my ducati sometime in the future hopefully soon..

was at hmv jus now buyin stuff...think i've satisfied my insane urge to shop to make up for lost time...no more $$ to buy anything else already..but christmas presents are always welcome

bought games!!....age or empires 3....call of duty 2 and the rome expansion
civ4 sold out prob end of the wk...

bought cds!!...been starved of good dance music in (middle of nowhere) perth..
1) Ministry of Sound 05 (always reliable)
2) Paul Van Dyk - the politics of dancing 2 (seems not bad after listening)
3)BEST 2005 (got the techno stuff i like)


got summore i wanted to get but haiz mebbe later on
wanted the armin van buren, timo maas and tiesto cds....plus the green day live album, the new one frm franz ferdinand, and electrico's album, but payin 20 bucks for a s'porean band jus doesn't seem rite so if anyone has it tell me if its nice
got alot i wanna get so ahem ahem christmass????

oh the sembawang store at cine has weird sales pple if anyone notices...i dunno how to say but next time u go observe and u'll get what i mean....but they're kinda helpful thou...i went over to see if got any price diff btw there and hmv asked this guy wheres their dance section he wasn't sure but he brought me round the shop looking...then later when i was browsing chinese (don't ask) he actually brought the ministry of sound and another cd i think it was dance nation over to me to ask if i wanted...not too bad...rather impressed

is anyone goin for zoukout? got the brochure frm hmv jus now...lineup dun seem too impressive thou...only ones i prob really wanna see are armin van buuren and nick warren...local DJs a few are frm zouk...now if i really wanted to hear them i'd go zouk now wouldn't i...

crap lar i'm sick again...my cough is back...think i din fully recover the last time now i feel like shiiitt

pple say s'pore is boring everywhere is the same but it actually has amazing diversity...u jus walk along orchard or something...everyone has their own style...hair, clothes and stuff...so much colour..somehow its really vibrant...in perth everyone bluddy wears the same stuff has the same here looks the same...honestly i can't tell one ang moh frm another...but mebbe they're saying they can't tell 1 chinese frm another...but watever they can go fuck off

saw this in a mag
its a perfect quote when i read it i highlighted it and resolved to put it on my blog

"People who do drugs tend to be vapid and idiotic, but alcohol is humanity, isn't it? Every culture and society on the planet since prehistoric times has figured out that alcohol works really well with human nature, so how could i not drink?"

absofuckinlutely i tell u..my sentiments exactly


next month is John Lennon's 25th death anniversary..in case i forget...here are some lines from his best songs...ahhhh John Lennon...such a tragedy

(Bless you)
'Some people says its over/ Now that we spread our wings/ But we know better, darling'

(Watching the Wheels)
'They shake their heads and look at me as if i've lost my mind/ I tell them theres no hurry/ I'm jus sitting here doing time.'

(Grow Old with Me)
'Grow old along with me/ the best is yet to come.'

(Instant Karma)
'Why in the world are we here?/ Surely not to live in pain and fear.'

and of cos...how can i not include Imagine...my fav Lennon song of all time
and here it is in its entirety...pls go listen to it if u haven't


Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.



To John Lennon

(cher got it off ur blog)

oops

been having diarrhoea the past few days...think i'm being punished for all my taunting about the satay char kway teow orh luat crap

i'm sorrriiiieeeeeeeee pls make it stop

owwwww

ARGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

why does shit always happen to me......

jus now..2 of my frens (jon and chun) came over...sent them back at about 3...then on the way back from jons place..
well firstly my dad has this thing about air fresheners..esp in cars...hes obsessed wif it or smth...so theres this fancy air freshener thing in his car which is like round and has liquid inside and its plugged in to the cigarette lighter power thing.
jus now i was turning left...a very slow turn mind u...and the fucking thing toppled over all over the centre of the dashboard and my lap....
i was fuckin shocked but i managed to set it uprite after a while....was at jons place downstairs so i asked him to bring some tissue down and he helped me clean it up

then while driving back...for those of u that know where it is its the balestier road-moulmein junction...was tryin to beat the light so i zoom pass the traffic light and turned right...was a gradual turn..but cos i was goin rather fast i ended up having to press the brakes a little harder...and needless to say shit happened....the fucking thing toppled over again....this time on the LEFT...and the whole fucking thing spilled over till no more liquid was left....FAARRRKKK larrrr.....stopped the car by the side of the road and started tryin to clean everything up wif a towel.....now the whole fucking car smells of air freshener...and theres no more liquid inside the thing its fuckin obvious...arrrghhh wtf am i supp to tell my dad...he'll think i was ddriving like some fucking maniac or smth.
fuckfuckfuck

damnit lar shit is forever happening
tink i need a drink to calm down..FARK

for peace's sake

its 5pm and i just spent the past hr vegetating on the sofa...got woken up by my phone ringing just now....first thought was 'whos the fucker that calling me this early at 9am'...well was my fren...asked him wat time it was app it was 3.10..oh well..at least it was after 3...its alrite jan on account of our 10 yr frenship...

yesterday....told my mom not to wake me up for church...said after church come back pick me we'll go lunch together.....well i got woken up by her...ask if i still wanna go for lunch....so i said yah ok u go church first....and she said "i AM back from church, been calling you but noone pick up the phone"...oops....aniwae had dim sum at marriot for lunch...dinner was at changi v where i ate ji pah hor fun and goreng pisang...and supper was tau huay in geylang....i love s'pore man...
came back at 4plus in teh morn...started havin diarrhoea..fuck...tink my stomach not used to the food yet..nevermind gotta train it up again..played pool yesterday..i really suck now sigh...shld jus give it up

the quote of the day is:
'it takes 26 muscles to smile and 62 to frown'
so apparently ur supposed to smile and shit...saw this everyday during my training at paya lebar...was this stupid poster in the freakin toilet...so everyday when i wake up at 445am or after jus kena tekan i see this stupid sign...din improve my mood i tell u...
so aniwae my logic is...if u smile...its still 26 muscles...u might as well not give a shit and save ur muscles from aching

considering i've been waking up early all my life prior to uni..i dunno why i can't wake up early for shit...mebbe its like a lifetime of sleep debt coming back to haunt me...las sem i din go for any lectures b4 2...this sem the last 2 mths i din go for a single lecture...nvm next sem will go for every single one....

i dunno wat to do now..going out would mean havin to bathe and change and go out and walk and take bus and fight wif the crowds...tink i'll wait for the car..ahh i missed driving at nite blasting music..but shit lar petrol is now damn ex..las nite drove frm my place to mcnair to changi v to katong to geylang to katong to mcnair and home...felt bad so i pumped 5 bucks..the freakin meter din even move..


a couple of days back was the 10th anniversary of Yitzhak Rabin's death...i hope at least some pple here know who he was...he was the fomer Israeli PM...who signed the Oslo Peace Accords in 93..basically he was the one that started the Palestinian Peace process...but in 95 some fucker Jewish ultranationalist assasinated him cos of it..sigh..so sad..and i'm not bein sarcastic or anything..peace in our time is so damn elusive..or rather peace in anytime is so elusive..wats wrong wif pple..wats wrong wif peace..everyfuckinwhere

'Civil War' by Guns N Roses

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

John Lennon was the one that said 'Peace could last forever'..and he got shot too..

essays, shit happens and fucked up drivers

just handed in my last essay....Asian Studies...was due last fri...i got an extension till mon...then another extension till thur noon...and i still hand in late (like 6pm today which is fri..)...think for this one i die jialat jialat already

SOoo for all my major 4 essays this sem i've handed in late for every one of them...now i know i sound damn slack and i admit i rather am...in my defense this sem has been crappy for me...first my hard drive crashed early on in the sem....then in the 2 wk break i lost my hp...then i managed to spill half a bottle of water into my laptop....then i found out that i lost my s'pore sim card as well so i lost all my s'pore numbers...andu wanna know how that happened...well i have 2 phones..and when i lost my hp i got a replacement sim card so i took my s'pore sim card out of my other phone and i put my new aussie sim card into that phone....then a couple of wks later i realised that i din know where the fuck i put my s'pore sim card...so tadah i'm an idiot i know....
so yah besides that i was sick for like 2 wks wif fever sore throat and this damn bad cough and so i couldn't do work...actually more like i din want to do work but comeon who wants to do work when sick....so yahhhhh suckkksss

and i jus got back my australian foreign policy essay...worth 35% of the unit...i got 75% minus 5 become 70...minus 5 why? cos i handed in 2 days late wtf/..but guess lan lan oso my fault aniwae...

whats my topic of the day u so eagerly ask?
well i thot of talking about drivers today
to be specific...perth drivers....got 2 points to make here
1st point...theres a freakin lot of women drivers in perth...like seriously..when compared to s'pore...like here every other driver u see is a woman driver...and personally i have this thing against women drivers...and i dunno but theres jus something about the way they drive...now i have nuthing against women...i think they're cool...but women drivers jus piss me off....if it could be tested scientifically...i tell u it'll be scientifically proven that women drivers on a whole drive worse then men...and again i dun generalise cos i say as a whole...cos i know a couple of women drivers that are pretty ok....

2nd pt...here in perth..aside from the freeways which normally have speed limits of either 80 or 100...the rest of the roads here are 2 lane roads where the limit is 60...and i go freakin mad when i get caught in this traffic..like for goodness sake at least go at 65 or so thats reasonable,...rather than goin on the right lane driving at 50 and blocking the cars behind....another point is that for some reason drivers here dun understand the concept of road hogging...like on a 3 lane freeway with a 100 limit the car on the extreme right can be merrily going along at 80 causing a massive line of cars who want to freakin overtake but can't cos the 2nd lane got alot of cars...sigh i dunno lar...jus makes me sad...i see here got so many nice cars oso...sports cars...bms..audis...mercs blah blah...like seriously why buy such a nice and expensive and fast cr IF UR NOT GONNA DRIVE FAST...or at least abit over the limit...the way pple drive over here if they were in s'pore they'll be horned or flashed like siao already...esp by taxi drivers...thats the one advantage of driving in s'pore....u learn to either be zhai or ur fucked cos everytime some irritating taxi is gonna horn u......i sitll rem when i first passed i used to hate newton circus cos everytime i go there sure kena horn...

s'pore taxi drivers are jus mad lar...one time i got into a shouting argument wif this idiot cabby using my limited (i.e vulgarities) hokkien vocab...but that one the fucker was jus askin for it...knn it was like in nov 03 when my grandad was in NUH...one morn i was on leave frm army or smth so i drove my aunt and mom to hospital...and for those that know NUH the road is one lane inside to the drop off point then theres a roundabout then a one lane out......well that fine morning i wanted to drop them off but got taxis blocking the way into the drop off point at the main builidng so i jus wanted to stop for a while let them off when the taxi behind horn me twice...so ok nvm...i din drop them i made a turn at the roundabouit then as i came near the building but this time on the opp side i wanted to drop them off again but the same fuckin taxi behind kept horning me like the 5 seconds that i stopped to let my aunt and mom off.....couple that to the fact that i was damn tired cos i was goin to the hospital dunno how many hrs a day and that was the period i was gonna retake my As...basically i jus got damn pissed...raised my middle finger to the rearview mirror and then turn left to the road then theres another roundabout bigger one where u turn and go on u'll reach the flyover to the AYE...well when we got to the bigger road i slowed down and wanted to confront the driver but he change lane and zoomed past me...till we both got to the traffic light then i stopped next to him and wind down my window and basically it was this shouting match till the light turned green...i almost got out of my car i dunno to do wat oso cos doing anything to him or his cab woulda been a dumb thing to do but i was that pissed...aniwae as i opened my door the light turned green and my parting words were something like le kua wah si P plate le mai lai phua chee bye with me or something to that effect my hokkien is damn bad lar i dun even thing its grammatically correct rite...

i think i had another point but i forgot wat...anwiae this is enuff for one day...got to go return library books now which are overdue
ARGHH EVERYTHING IN MY FUCKING LIFE IS OVERDUE

fuck

fucked...fucKED...FUCKED

just got back my Global Governance essay. Firstly, my lecturer deducted 2.5 marks cos i handed in late, which i thought was rather nice of him since i handed in damn bluddy late.....but i got 66% after deduction...like fuck man this is the lowest i've ever gotten for politics and the 2nd lowest essay mark ever (the lowest was in my 1st sem i got 60 for Asian Studies but who cares bout Asian Studies)
My tutor even wrote:
"Jeremy, A well researched and quite clearly argued essay which makes good use of your sources and mostly of the examples considered blah blah blah"...
like hullo....u say until so nice shouldn't u give me more marks...FARKKK LARH..
and the scary thing is that this 66 might not be the lowest for this sem...fuckfuckfuck

damnit lar this sem's results are gonna be so damn fucked up...gotta really start taking things seriously next sem (fuck u whoever thats laughing)....... Only concern is I've got to pull up my average cos i know its gonna be dragged down by this sems results whatever they are..................
No good average = no honours = general arts degree = fucked cos i can't do shit....equals spent so my much of my moms money for nuts.....
so tadah thats the equation right now...
of cos gettin a screwed up honours would mean that i'd be fucked too but thats smth to worry about later...
If really sway until can't take honours (in politics btw)..i'm gonna run to my dean and start yelling "look at my bluddy 1st yr results!!!! I"m smart!!! i KNow it!!!"

Oh well..last resort..just hope it never comes to that

still one more freakin essay..comeon comeon


Looking back on my academic career so far, i can honestly say that (so far) uni has given me the best results in a loooong time, prob since lower sec....u know why??? cos i dun need to do any maths or science shit. i fucking hate maths and science. I didn't do a single piece of maths homework starting from sec 2 onwards...bluddy copied all the way...i take a sense of perverse pride in that btw...
Results for English and Humanities (hist, geog) were always good but my freakin maths + science + CHINESE (i forgot to mention fuckin chinese) always meant taht my average was screwed...
addition, subtraction, multiplication, division...thats the only maths a person needs...who gives a shit about 2nd order differentiation or watever...
anwiae so for my Os...my mom kept telling me (and i think she was more saying to herself than anything) as long as can get into a JC its good (and repeat and repeat)...when i got 11 points i think she fell over in surprise...and btw...i got A1 for english, hist, e maths, and A2 for geog....annnndddd B3 for A maths and both sciences like seriously fuck...
aniwae...11...so i go AJC...which was mistake number 1...mistake number 2 was choosing to do....guess wat??...maths!!...instead of Lit or Geog... and it was a mistake to go AJ cos pple there are generally smarter than CJ (sorry if i offend anyone) so if ur slow like me u kinda get left behind...couple that with the fact that i really couldn't be bothered with maths...meant that i screwed my As...oh mistake number 3 was probably skipping sch all the way in CJ 1st 3 mths, which sorta set the tone for my JC life (i have fond memories of Billy's)..some of my frens can testify(i hope) that in JC my pool/snooker was quite damned good...much better than they are now anwiae..
but i digress...so anwiae ii started revising the day before the exam and i was still playin CM thruout...so i get a big O for maths, which rules me out of any local uni besides SIM and i'm not bluddy going SIM cos it sucks and i'll be doing business (which needs maths) which is how i've ended up in sunny/cold/hot/windy (all at the same time) Perth...I thank God everyday i chose to do arts here..

so i think the point i'm gettin at is that from upper sec onwards, my parents' expectation of my academic results have been rather low understandably, so it comes as a pleasant surprise to them and to me that my results (so far) for uni have been, well, (much?)better than average. For the first time in a loooong time i'm happy with my results (so far) and thats why i want this to continue....like for eg. last sem for politics i got 85, which is a high distinction(duh)...like i haven't gotten 85 for anything since like primary sch for fucks sake.

soooo the lesson in this...always do what ur interested in...took me years of screwing up b4 i realised it....thats of cos unless ur one of those many pple who're either damn smart or mug until u get it...which is prob the case of alot of my frens doing stuff like engineering...like i ask them what they're gonna do after uni and somehow most of them don't plan to become engineers, or at least not for life, or take engineering cos thats all there is...and i dun blame them..in s'pore u either do law/business/enigine/arts...wat else is there...
so the point i'm probably making is that if u suck at maths /science...do arts...but if u suck at humanities too, then i really dunno...think theres alot of money in being a bookie thou....or theres always those $800 per month jobs that the government keeps exhorting pple to take and not be choosy...life wtf...u tell someone like Teo Chee Hean or George Yeo to quit and go become cleaner u see if they want....shit that brings me to another point....in s'pore if u suck at studies, and sometimes its thru no fault of ur own, ur pretty much screwed cos where can u go...ITE? become wat...mechanic, plumber etc...I'm not looking down at these pple mind u, i'm just saying that in s'pore theres a stigma that comes along with it.....i see here in aust...u train at a vocational institute u come out u can make good money....i know this ang moh whos bout my age, he repairs aircons for a living...and hes making something like 3-4k a month....and rem this is someone thats MY age...
shit lar i could go on and on but need to go back to work FARKKK LAR i'm sick of essays.

hmmm this blog thingy is kinda theraputic ain't it.
