Increasingly it's starting to look like free speech is the opiate of the masses. The more stupid comments I read online, the more I'm wondering if free speech shouldn't be curtailed to disallow retarded people from voicing their retarded opinions ( Read more... )

I don't like LJ's rich text function - it's way too complicated. What's wrong with manually inputting HTML tags anyway?

Youth Olympic GamesI knew there had to be a mistake when the YOG website told me that the tickets to the tennis finals were sold out. Who's lame enough to go anyway ( Read more... )

Before I start, I'd like to reproduce the most fantastical quote I've read in quite a while:
"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media. Sedighi is Tehran's acting ( Read more... )

I read with amused interest this article in the Temasek Review and the comments that followed.
See, last night I got very agitated when I found myself stuck at Novena and not knowing where to take a bus that would take me to the Singapore Labour Foundation building, where Wei Chuen was playing squash. After being directed to the bus stop by the dude ( Read more... )

First, the good news: My forehand hadn't completely died after all. It was a miracle! I hit more than 4 proper ones throughout the whole two hours!
When I got tired I started taking a lot of liberties with the stroke and didn't follow-through properly. Oh well, at least the forehand's back.

Thx U played considerably better than Saturday morning, and ( Read more... )

I followed this link from Tris' blog and clicked on the comments to see what people are saying. The following comment really pissed me off:

Owned by the Chinese kids... shame on you Singaporeans.

Don't assume that China-born (now citizens or PR) cannot speak English. You are so shallow. Get a life and ( Read more... )

Singapore is not Mini China.
For fuck's sake. It's bad enough that ang mohs think Singapore is in China. But then again, when I hear the Chinese accent practically every day in this country, and not on TV, one truly wonders if we're not actually a part of China. At this rate, Singapore is more a part of China than Taiwan is (and ever will be). After ( Read more... )

Tong called me last night to tell me about the leaked sex pictures involving someone from law school (two years my junior. No one I know personally). Today I did some Googling out of curiosity, though by no means for the leaked pictures which I have no interest in seeing.
That I think the bastard who leaked the pictures is an asshole and should ( Read more... )

Dear [Yelen],
Thank you for getting in touch. I attach Prof Kriangsak's comments on your exam questions. He would also like us to circulate your answer to Question 8 (as a model answer) to the whole class - may I have your consent for us to do so?

I thought such things ended in junior college, but apparently not. I can't help but laugh at this, ( Read more... )

Roger's match has been affected by rain, which is all kinds of crappy. He's leading by a set and a break, 6-4, 2-1; I'm afraid Djoke would regroup after the delay and get his form back. Not to mention - he's probably going to talk to his coach. Which is all kinds of unfair.
But then, it's nobody's problem but Roger's that he doesn't have a coach, so ( Read more... )
