i know i don't comment very much here, considering the amount of french in your entries in general which i don't understand:P but GOODNESS, SERIOUSLY, SINGAPORE?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

i've always felt like even when it comes to sports in singapore, it's just TABLE TENNIS AND SWIMMING and nobody else gets any love at all. sports aren't bonding in singapore, government. it's your way of trying to bond people, but we all bond in common frustration.

the arts in singapore will take a long, long time to change. it is changing slowly, i'll admit that much since i've seen it change in the last five years, but it'll take time :/

This is one of the ways. Maybe I should keep that to my other LJ? Then again, it wouldn't be me speaking. :P

Yes well, I think we can all safely say, regardless of political affiliation, that Singapore's rather screwed.

Y'know, I like this phrase of yours:
we all bond in common frustration.
It makes me think of the words 'protagonist', 'antagonist', 'deuteragonist' and all those that end in '-agonist', because they all contain the Greek root 'agôn', or 'struggle', which is a cause of frustration. If you'll permit me a little analysis (which I'm sure ( ... )
