The Chronicles of Ulic
Begin Once More
Friday, October 14, 2005
i was atching a rerun of judging amy yesterday and was particularly intrigued by one of the plots. it involvedfree speech, contitutional rights, pro establishmentism, anti establishmentism, that sort of thing. i understand that if i say the wrong thing on the internet, i might get free food and lodging, courtesy of the Singapore government. so i must be careful.
anyways, i was wondering about the state of free speech in Singapore. whenever i try to recollect any examples, i tend to extract those that involved the opposition parties, someone asking the former prime minister where the money is (whatever that means. seriously. i do not know. no.) the thing is, i find that the administration is quite particular about what people say about it. most of the time, nothing happens. sometimes, people around us disappear for some time before reappearing, tight-lipped about their temporary departure. (terna-linay curity-seay act-ay) i wonder why.
and so happens my wonderings produce a crappy theory. the people in Singapore are the key. we are either to stupid. or too smart. i assume the latter, being a citizen myself. but for the sake of the post, i will discuss the stupid part first. we might actually be sooo dumb that we believe what people tell us and blindly obey (rest assured that this is NOT the current situation; the blindly obeying). so the government has to remove the bad seeds. OR, we could be soo smart that we read too deeply into the usurper's message and 'detect' certain truths about it (although the message is utter bull faeces). in any case, these influences can cause some very tough questions to arise: why father and son rule together, i mean lead together. or why i cant bloody be a cool fighter pilot.
but, to clarify things, i have put those questions behind me, and will willingly serve my country and its leader, for they can see farther into the future than me. long live the father, the son, and Uncle Goh. yay.

i AM myself
i am an INTP. look up the mbti website.
typically, that means i am a creative ideas man.
i'm far from typical, though, so being INTP means i am...
cynical
skeptical
sarcastic
insensitive
unfeeling
just downright pessimistic
what i mean to say is, there is no bright side to anything.
but now i'm a lot better. thanks to my significant other. Liss you.
