Heh since Pearlyn has complained that she's not gonna read my blog anymore till she gets something that she actually understands, I've refrained from geek talk.
And its so shiok, right now, to step out of the hot shower, after a good morning and afternoon of floorball, sit in an air conditioned room and just rest.. What happiness.
I've been slacking the whole month away, planting my butt in this green swivel chair of mind that it almost grew roots. And in the process turning snow white, and feeling darn sick generally. Finally a good sprints here and there to revitalise my body. Wahoo! Nevertheless I lost feeling in both my purple big toes. One tip: Never play floorbal in shoes one size too small. Glad the nails didnt come off.
Then was the usual 19th protocol. Move, stop, talk. Move, stop, talk. The topic in debate today was the general elections. Honestly speaking, I know nutz bout politics. I'm the epitome of the totally (ah crap.. my vocab!! what's that word I wanna use. Typing has ceased now while I think of the word) yes. the apathetic young Singporean. But still, listening to Ben, Ervin, Pearl and Cheng talk about it was pretty enlightening. Esp. the guy who was exiled to Sentosa.. Haha.. never knew Singapore even had exiles.. and of all places Sentosa.
To state my own view after listening to them, as Emma had mentioned, I'd rather a benevolent dictatorship then a split coalition, but ya, "dictatorship" is a strong word, but you get my point. And I disagree with Cheng's view that why change if things are fine now? I believe we have to have a fail-safe, in this case, an opposition, in case shit happens. Things may be fine now and we happily give one party all the power, but the wellness of the state then depends solely on the quality of the people leading it. If some ass gets into power, we're screwed through, with no backup avenue of keeping him/them in check.
I think that is the point Ervin and Pearl was trying to make. Of course, Pearl, with all her extra knowledge is more negative about the ruling party than us.
Well, we'll all see if we change our views about: "Hey, we're ok with not being able to exercise our freedom" when shit happens to us next time and we realise we're screwed.
Right now its gonna be WoW, and tomorrow I shall blog about the FF's going-to-be amazing Turtle Soup Adventure.
Sweet.
