Mixed Musings

To my friends that went on a half-assed trip through half of south-east asia... welcome home. Its great to be back isnt it?

I marvel at the kind of people who can just drop everything and pack up and go, without a clear goal in sight. It takes a remarkable leap of faith to go without a complete idea of the destination. Life itself can be taken that way- I mean, we all end up in a coffin, but how are we going to get there? Thats the beauty of life.

Well,its not like i don't regret going with you. I've had a good time in Singapore the past few weeks. Working life isn't that much of a drag when you have hilarious colleagues, as well as work thats varied. (im not going to say interesting because mostly it isn't.) But hey, theres always that part of me that regrets not going with you all... Well, we're young, there's always other times.

The drama of Singapore politics...... I mean, seriously, this time its total bull crap. Politics shouldn't be about carrots and sticks. It should be about idealogies and plans. Going into the fray with half-assed plans about using national reserves to subsidise spending is not going to cut the cheese. Eventually you realise that these are short term solutions that do not work at the cause of the problem, but instead work on alleviating the effects. I praise the one-party system. It has brought us far, and i hope it will bring us further. LKY, GCK and LHL, do your best. You have brought us far. We trust you to bring us further. Not that im lambasting the opposition. Some are serious people who know what they are doing. Kudos to the AMK Suicide Six. It takes guts to bring you there. The people appreciate you. But not to say that all the people are intelligent. A friend wrote- Do not vote opposition for the sake of opposing. USE YOUR DAMN BRAINS. While they are noble and good, their ideals cant hold water for nuts.

i still take the stand that G* is an idiot. If you're wrong, admit it. Your actions and words are too glib to be true. And leaving the country one day after the election? I see. Oooh it looks so coincidental...... What if you had won? Or if it didn't happen? Would you still be flying?

More to come...
