Meaning.

I try to do things meaningfully sometimes, because I believe that everything in life happens for a reason, no matter how stupid or nonsensical it may be(and most of the time it is, as being green has taught me in copious quantities.)
 
But life is rarely what we think of it. Sometimes a cigar really is [...]

Return.

It just occurred to me.
 
When I eventually do go back to school, I’m going to be an idiot that goes “duhhh” and drools without knowing it. It’ll be kind of like not riding a bicycle for years and then going for Tour de France, except that you can probably forget how to study.
 
Which I suppose [...]

Island.

So, I’m back from my offshore island trip to PengHu. Highlights include:
- Getting rather sunburnt, though strangely the only things that turned red are my arms and shoulders. Kind of like a slab of tofu with chicken wings attached to it. 
 
- Water games! For about the first hour or so anyway, most of the time [...]

Transition.

Things move around in our world all the time. People move from place to place, and take with them their clothes, handphone, cars, shoes, meaningless dialogue, body odour and smelly auras. Sometimes, they take their animals with them too.
 
But it’s not just material things that move around all the time. Mindsets, words, philosophies get passed [...]

Government.

No, this is not a post about how the PAP has pretty much a stranglehold on Singapore politics(Chee Soon Juan HAHA) or a clever, witty commentary about Obama vs Hilton complete with photoshopped screens of DeeJay vs Cammy(a donut for anyone who got that reference!).
Rather, everyone lives with a few core principles that, through deduction, [...]

Make.

Humans are inherently manipulative people.
 
Why would I say this? Everything we do to further advance our situation, almost certainly involves a change in the state of others, though not necessarily a bad thing. People at work tend to climb over each other’s heads to get where they need to be. Even for good samaritans, helping [...]

Back.

Well, I have the date of my home leave. June 17-30, in case anybody actually wants to know.*HINT HINT*
 
However, having a date like that only makes the days go by slower. And slower. Until you feel like you’re mired in a very ferocious pit of quicksand with invisible hands tugging at your legs and Indiana [...]

Visage.

I think I’ve figured out why I can’t stand the army.
 
To put it simply, it’s illegal acts made legit under the name of the government.
Let’s forget for a moment that Singapore has absolutely no need for an army right now, mostly because Singapore is so small that we could probably be overwhelmed by a parade [...]
