Thats a lot of thinking if you ask me.
Anyway, now for a random topic moment: Insensitivity.
On our journey through life, we will encounter numerous situations in which we find that it would be highly beneficial for us as well as other people to approach a certain matter with tact and consideration for others. Certain issues, such as race and religion in Singapore, are highly susceptible to unwarranted and enormous attention, partly because we feel involved in such matters as well as the need to get involved.
Matters such as the one mentioned, have been known to be dicussed publicly but let us be honest, public opinion is often well received because they are the 'right' opinions one should have and not necessarily a honest one. There are many advantages to this, one of which is that we will begin to feel a certain sense of wrongness in discriminating others for one's race. After all, whatever society accepts as correct will naturally feel right to the typical teenager or youth.
However, it sparks of an increasingly irritating habit of mincing one's words when addressing such issues. As Asians, we have always been known for our subtlety and conservative attitudes, always trying to avoid trouble whenever possible. But I fear that there will come a time when these values will be put o the test, especially since Singapore is becoming an increasingly globalised city. This problem not only limits itself to the topic of racial discrimination but also to other sensitive issues such as euthanasia, homosexuality and even abortion.
urm..... i'm not really sure where i'm going with this train of thought....maybe Yew Tee MRT station...oh wait, isn't that the station where YET ANOTHER GUY fell/jumped/whatever onto the tracks? Really, just because your life sucks/you are clumsy/whatever doesn't mean you have the right to disrupt public transport.Get a shrink or, like everybody else, endure. Life sucks, it isn't fair, it causes more grief than euphoria AND its bloody expensive so just GET OVER IT!
The government should just fine these people who are treating the MRT tracks like a portal to the next world or life or whatever. Very heavily. Don't get me started on the detrimental effects of public transport disruption on the economy.
Shakespeare is quickly making his way out of my list of favourite peolpe right now. He's dead and he still creates problems for me.
Same goes to Hadley and Ferrell for discovering the Cells (a vertical transfer of wind). On a brighter note, they weren't on any of my list in the first place.
The males in American Idol is really sucky this year. Most of them anyway. Go the-one-with-that-curly-hair-and-who-needs-to-lose-weight!! And that botak guy. I'm rooting for them....
