What will it be like to be jailed in your own house? If you guys happen to be more aware of the current affairs happening in the world right now like just today, Aung San Suu Kyi will be under house arrest for 3 more years. Non-history students or any laymen out there will be like: Who is this Suu Kyi guy?
Actually, it's a she. Daughter of the great nationalist Aung San of Burma who single-handedly led Burma to independence after world war 2. Aung San Suu Kyi was on her way in becoming the prime minister of Burma after the 1990 general elections but screw those military bastards, they actually placed her under house arrest.
You think under house arrest not so bad right, you think again ah. No forms of communication with the outside world, even if there is it will be monitored by the authorities. Thats it, no Facebook, no DotA. Moreover, Aung San Suu Kyi charges were not justified!
Talking about politics, I happened to stumble upon a interesting fact about our Prime Minister. He is the number one politician who has the highest pay of all, even higher then Barack Obama with a whooping annual salary of S$3.76 million. Now I know where my burger fine end up to...

The root of all evil, meritocracy. The mention of it send shivers down my spine, why am i being constricted by it? There are too many loopholes in this meritocratic system we practiced. I am disgusted by the fact that the government just finds that exams is the easiest way to sieve out the talents and that's just retarded. Are we going to just study what the government deemed as 'important'? Indeed it is important for the government as they require people with such skills from the talent pool but is this what we want?
Instead, they should let people choose what they really want to do and giving guidance along the way so that our society will not be flooded with mathematicians or economists. Look at the number of math and economics teachers in Singapore, is teaching these subjects what they wanted? Try lowering the salary and assurance and I can assure you the iron rice bowl of teachers will shatter and there will be lesser teachers-wanna-be.
We need people like YOU, to voice out.. to do what you really wanted.
Want to be a top chef, go ahead.
Want to be a porn star, go ahead.
Want to be a film maker, go ahead.
Don't limit yourself because of the circumstances you're in, just do it.

last post was at 2nd of June 2009 and I'VE RETURNED!
I'm going to dedicate this post to someone whom i had made her so fucking pissed off with me that she doesn't want to talk to me now..
I didn't want it to go this way, I would prefer we return to the good old days where we joke and laugh, disturb each other in the company of our friends.
Now, it is just like there is a impregnable wall between us and i can read from your eyes that you don't want to talk to me.
Is this going to be the end of our friendship? Deep in my heart, this going to 2 years journey was indeed spent worthwhile and I've grown up, matured with the help of you guys.
Thank you for what you've done for me; encouraging me, telling me to go on the right track etc..
I really want to thank you and hope you would go back to the happy, cheery person i once knew.
I'm sorry, please forgive me.

Talking about irony, i'm supposed to have shorter hair after my trip to the barber because i'm in still in college where long hair mean you're undisciplined but instead i kept my fringe and the back of it long.
And how I wish I can go to Taiwan, the education system is much less stringent and you have much more freedom there then here besides the politics. Best of all, all my idols are from that small island. I am a huge fan of Taiwan variety shows like '我猜我猜我猜猜猜' and '综艺大哥大 ' and many more that I can't list out because I don't have cable TV, how sad ;(
I believe Taiwan is the land for Chinese singers and stuffs eh, I still prefer Chinese music to English one or maybe it's just my Chinese roots acting up haha. And can you believe it, I actually ransacked my table to look for my Chinese file so that I can check out the 谚语 which are cool phrases that show your chinese is damn powderful.
So being a hardcore Taiwanese fan, after my haircut I went to e!hub for a scrumptious meal of Taiwanese delicacy like their mee sua and chicken cutlet and of course the infamous pearl milk tea.
