the new paper

read the new paper just now
can't remember when was the last time i read it, probably the time the auntie at my void deck stopped selling.

anyway, they were running articles about ndp and stuff

i din actually buy tnp to read the ndp articles, but the part about soo being kicked out because she din have an american accent

anyway. about soo. she is a dj on 987 who does the midnight shift, called pillowfight with soo. i heard her voice before and i actually thought she was some new graduate from the radio academy or something like that. i had no idea she was 30. seriously

anyway, she thinks she was kicked out for not sounding american. i have heard her on the dj a few times and i don't think she deserved to be kicked out. i thought she was a great dj with a great personality and i din really think she had any language problems that i could think of. so i think the kicking her off part is a bit too drastic. i think she does a great job of connecting with her audience. so there is a facebook petition to get her back but i can't seem to find it.


anyway, another article that caught my eye. it was about race. it talked about how this young malay boy doesn't speak with other races because they were of a different faith. then he met the old man who changed his perspective.

i never discriminate. ok let me rephrase that. i don't discriminate intentionally, i think. i never really found a reason to hate or even dislike a person for his skin color or faith. i did find other reasons though. so sometimes when i see my friends making fun of chinese immigrants, i never really understood why. i mean yeah they have an accent, so? i also never really understood why people made fun of indians, that cannot see them in the dark. my friend once laughed at me and called me racist jokingly when i showed her i changed my phone language to malay. i actually saw that in edmunds' phone and thought it was really funny because you'd go about looking at your phone and not knowing what the hell you just stumbled onto. i din think of making fun of the malay language. hell, i'd change it to french or german or thai if i could, because it was the not understanding that was the funny part.

also i thought about my own "religion" if you can call it that. i think i made a breakthrough this week, in that i thought about existence of god and the supernatural. to adopt a scientific mindset, it would be naive and ridiculous to think that god doesn't exist, or anything is an absolute for that matter. basically, what we have right now is a whole bunch of nothing, in the box of evidence of god's existence. and that is a compelling enough reason to take up atheism. but then again, to think deeper is to understand that we do not have evidence to prove that god DOESN"T exist, in maths this is called a null-proof. so it is only fair that we remain open-minded to accept that one day we may have evidence to one or the other. so until then, i will list my "religion" as i am forced to, to Atheist Until Further Notice. it has a pretty nice ring to it.

watched gi joe with yang today while i waited for eman aka Clog02, whose work you may have seen around orchard during the singapore arts festival. GI JOE WAS AWESOME, waiting for a trailer. for the first time, both the lead girls are equally hot, with no one girl being hotter. i think gi joe really beats transformers 2 hands down, probably on par with transformers 1. this is the kind of movie that makes you wanna join the army and work hard there. awesomesauce.

also had our thanksgiving concert yesterday. the performance by the teachers were awesome by themselves. it's just the connection between each performance was not really well done. because the time travel theme was rather lame and made the mcs work hard and come off incredibly lame. i think the time travel theme is very difficult to make cool. seriously, even if it does sound so on paper

the science grease performance was the awesomest. the guys were cool and the ladies were sexy, so yeah i guess that makes an awesome performance. the humanities was also very creative, but a bit sad la cause only can see 2 people, the rest all must cover up until liddat. but the part with the college anthem was damn funny, when the teachers held up srjc signs.

1s11 went out to rk prata house after that. around 16 people went, including gabriela and cheng kai. saw mr thomas there with his class i presume. played truth or dare, but only has truth. quite fun, know more about friends. the starting quite boring because always ask the same standard questions. but this kind of game more fun to hear about other people's stories. also note to self: improve dress sense. it's more important than you'd imagine. thanks to everyone who made 7/8/09 such a great night.
