Incredulous. Absolutely incredulous
With regards to PM Lee's statement of course.
Where do we draw the line then? Its a clear sign of systematic failure from the top right to the bottom. Yes the guards that were negligent, but the security measures, infrastructure, framework, domain knowledge that manifested during the whole Mas Selamat saga was just appalling. And who decided this back then? Well MHA's top brass decided. And who endorsed it? WKS.
And there we have stupid singaporeans who buy these strawman arguments. I was really disappointed with WP's LTK, he could have done better to rebutt PM Lee. But I dont blame him given the lack of oppositions in parliament. *shrugs*

Fairytales continue yet again!
PM Lee, DPM Wong to speak about Mas Selamat escape on Monday
(truncated...)
MP Teo Ho Pin (Bukit Panjang), chair of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Law, has tabled three questions. One of them is on measures to ease congestion at the land checkpoints.Asked what concerns Mr Lee might address, Dr Teo said: "Hopefully he will touch on the idea that public responsibility is important. The Government could not be responsible for everything." He felt Parliament was the "appropriate" platform to present the COI findings, which could then be debated by parliamentarians.

My dear MP Dr Teo, like Minister Lim, are you also for real? Oh dear, I wonder what use do we pay million dollar salaries to our incumbents for!

The fairytales spun by our national papers part 1
They're young, they're foreign, and they're helping to save your job
By Keith Lin
YOUNG and chatty foreign waitresses have been helping draw customers to some Housing Board coffee shops.But they have also been raising eyebrows among some local co-workers.
One drinks seller at a coffee shop in Jurong West complained to Minister Lim Boon Heng that she felt threatened by a sweet, young lady from China who sells beer at the same joint.
She was worried that allowing such foreigners to work at coffee shops would undercut her wages. She was already working two jobs to make ends meet.
But the Minister in the Prime Minister's Office saw things differently.
The co-worker was drawing men in droves to the coffee shop, he said. This meant brisk business which, in turn, helped the local drinks lady keep her job.
Recounting this anecdote at a forum yesterday, he said: 'Obviously, if Tiger or Carlsberg asks this mature lady to sell beer, it will not have the same result.'
His broader point was that every person, local or foreign, had their own strengths.
He was speaking to 500 employers, unionists and government officials at the Singapore Tripartism Forum to discuss employment issues.
For nearly two hours, a panel of six, including Acting Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong, Education Minister Ng Eng Hen and labour chief Lim Swee Say, fielded questions. These ranged from worries over the rising costs of living to re-employment of older workers.
To a call from a participant to relax foreign worker quotas, Mr Gan said this issue often results in tensions. Singaporeans prefer fewer foreign workers but bosses need them to augment their workforce. The solution, he said, was to strike a balance between both parties' interests by fine-tuning foreign worker policies.
Oh really? Now Minister Lim, are you for real? Mana ada logic sial?

Monday is D-Day
Well I not only have a 9am paper to sit but also the day that will showcase Wong Kan Seng making a stand and release the COI findings.
As usual, I will foresee similar quality in speech analogous to this one.

Arsenal uplorry liao.
75 mins already, man u is leading 2-1 :)
*update*
Yep Arsenal is officially out of the title race. Man u wins 2-1!
Adebayor drew first blood to put arsenal ahead; my lampa nearly shrunk man. Then gallas had to make a boo boo and foul in the penalty box; penalty awarded to man u. Oh well, Ronaldo stepped up to take it, Lehmann nearly saved it coz he dived the correct direction but i guess he wasnt fast enough. 1-1
Lastly, a classic freekick curler by Hargreaves. Lehmann's face was priceless. He had the huh-the-ball-go-in-liao-ah face. Yep he stood rooted to the ground. Arsenal stepped their game and pushed man u all the way from then onwards, the game was fucking tight!
After Adebayor scored, ppl start to sms/msn n suan me liao... basket. But HEY guess who had the last laugh *sniggers* But *ahem* like a true gentleman, today i did not go into suan ppl mode :D It was a very good game.
*update ends*
Want to tak chek also cannot, damn soccer is too exciting to missssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss... Baah!
My overdue assignment can also uplorry already :/

Out with the old and in with the maybe not so new.
Yep I just dumped my old layout, it was screwin up everything. Out of boredom, I read all 153 posts excluding this one, sometimes I feel like laughin at my own posts. Geez, my life's just like a damn rollercoaster and not to mention my writing style changes over time!
Anyway yesterday was pretty good. Had steamboat and then met up with the indian fags along with fushun n iggy. Iggy and me were like holding the table at wala wala for like nearly an hour?! People would have been wondering why 2 dumbos are sitting at a table for 8. Well, there was plenty to talk cock with Iggy anyway, from school to soccer to politics.
It was good seeing them again, can u imagine the amount of cock-talk that comes out when u put maha, john and me together. It was a good night! Believe me, we were laughing so damn hard! hahaha

Life's just *insert suitable adjective*
Been a damn long while I updated.
Well a summation from Feb till now in chronological order:
The blog's a lil fucked though; its kinda shameful to admit that Im studying IT.
In 7months, I turn a quarter of a century.
I landed my dream job, only to reject for a post grad diploma in NUS. Stupid Decision?
I couldnt win yenyen's heart but I landed the heart of some gay Myanmar fella.
Exams are just around the corner and Im still bogged with assignments!
SAF charged me for being a RT defaulter; im under IHL. The irony of it all, I must have uncovered a loophole in the system. I aint going to pay that fucking 50 dollar fine, I'm going to argue my way through!
It'll be a lie to say im not heartbroken. But I can take it like a man and move on. At least, the gymming sessions, the cooking, booze/football, and the various cliques of awesome friends keeps me going.
HOWEVER, reading straits times spoils my day especially lau lee's rantings. The man is already one foot in the 7 feet deep and boy he can conjure up lots of jiao wei.
And there was a forumner in HWZ who posted MM Lee's reference of complacent singaporeans refered to WKS and his cronies.
So amazed on how that he could twist and turn the article's semantics, I had to log in and flamed his backside upside down. Ok not really but I just tore his argument wide apart and he didnt have the balls to reply me or rather it felt like there was no room for any rebuttal.
Singaporeans... *gasp* Well a consolation was I chanced upon some girl's blog and that she stands on the same fence with me and a growing legion of like minded people.
To all those who hav exams this month and next esp the NTU farts and NUS peeps, well good luck buddies.
