and peckham is lovely. i really like it! but unfortunately i can’t cycle to work cos my bike is in a garage in east sussex, and i have no place here to store it. i might get a foldup bike though. that might solve my bikeless situation.

and anyway, why are you buying clothes that need altering? i thought you got them tailored/as close to tailored as possible?

Fascist America, in 10 easy steps

Now who actually wrote the original article?
http://hunterseeker.wordpress.com/

and, nowadays, the problem is that if anything is banned, it’s immediately talked about and known about because everyone has the internet and you can get ANYTHING on the internet if you know where to find it. whereas in the past, if they banned a film or a book you’d actually have to be looking for it in the first place before realising that it’s unavailable.

also, human nature is such that we’re always looking to attain what is just out of reach. which is why prohibition laws are rarely successful except in circumstances when the sovereign territory and/or the population is of such a size that is easily controlled and/or manipulated.

p/s: it’s not purple basil, it’s purple tiger chilli. very prolific, and very ornamental.

Lovely photos btw. Especially like the recycled pots for the rocket plus purple basil (??) on the bottom right hand corner.

and anyway, all the stuff you learn in your first year… you’ll forget them by the time you graduate. so, pointless, really. but necessary.

and my camera phone la! SonyEricsson K750i. i’ve had it since july btw. its NOT new. almost all the pics on my blog are taken with my phone actually. you can get one when you come back anyways. which is when? CNY is in a month!! time fliessssss.

time for pineapple tarts & ba kwa & hay bee hiam & kueh lapis & falling sick & growing fat. ok. don’t hate me for reminding you of all that. or you can whine to the parents about sending some over to you. haha!

uniquely singapore

well. bad & doubtful debts. i know. and i think balancing balance sheets is like math, so it ain’t bothering me that much. but biz law. omg. interesting to read cases and all but when it comes to answering the questions…. i think i’m dead.

i don’t think you actually get what i’m trying to say. the whole point of this post was a recognition that i can be a horrible person, and that i do it to people who are probably very undeserving of that treatment.

but anyway, because unless you’ve known me for a long time, you would say that i’m proud and pompous and have no heart for the common man. and, really, i don’t mind because you’re entitled to your opinions as i am to mine, based on whatever limited knowledge and resources we have at hand.

best wishes to you too

**I have memories that probably can never be made again by any other child. I remember the otah-woman that used to sit by the edge of the concrete badminton court and chat with whoever came up, and sold otah for 20cents a piece.**

… you see! You DO know! Why do you remember her as an adult? So *unimportant* yet she touched your life in an unforgettable way. In this way she carries a message for your heart

I’ll stop leaving comments all over your blog now but this random, passing, cheeky stranger wishes you a good day and a happy life.

Worse you now say *what right do I have to judge him [indeed]…yet you qualify that by saying *maybe he’s a med student*!! Do you not see the irony? Is he not worthwhile if he’s *just* a cashier then? The value of kindness and humanity is worth more than an IQ of 1000 with a cold heart.

There is great beauty in the common people. Please stop to notice it and value everyone for what they are, regardless of *how useful they are to you* or *how worthy you consider their role in life to be*.

If you can see the spark of humanity that unites us all, it will bring such gladness to your heart. I hope it happens for you.

best wishes

The most important thing is that you’re aware of it. That makes you much better than the average person.

in tangentially related news, they raised the GST.

D&N will probably try and use it somehow, but did you read how they dismissed all of FEER’s references to cases as being irrelevant or not applicable? i’d be surprised if they were to rely heavily on an australian case to further their cause.

Of course when I first heard of this judgment I was overcome with disbelief, as I thought that the consequences of forum shopping or multiple lawsuits worldwide against internet publishers would have a chilling effect on speech.

When I read the judgment however I realised that the ruling was logically consistent, and very well argued. And it turns out that the chilling effect didn’t really come about.

I think it is very likely that D&N would be trying to make arguments similar to those cited by the HCA, maybe even try to bring the Australian statement of the law into HK.

[…] the guardian is great. […]

once we’ve made our millions, we can plot our path to political sainthood.

As long as there is this confucian values nonsense, where you’re never allowed to talk back or give your own view, or where your ideas are always seen as a challenge to your elders/parents/establishment/Men in White, then nothing will be gained!

But, and this might just be wishful thinking, if even just a quarter of females in singapore stopped constantly thinking about how to make their skin fairer whiter and brighter, and how effective X-brand of slimming pills is compared to another, and maybe spent that money on the Economist or the Financial Times (or even National Geographic), then maybe some change might happen.

If it carries on as it is, then there is truly no more hope for the singaporean womankind.

the rosemary i got from my boyfriend’s mom in january/february, and she just gave me a pot of mint. the rest (thyme, borage) i’m hoping will grow really quickly because they’re still so small!

i’m also waiting for more seeds to arrive in the post - i’m obsessed. i buy waaaay too much for one person. if you like i can send you some in the post.

Haha, Joseph here. Wow, tomorrow.sg does link up people that I’ve never met for a long time now huh. Hahah, I hope you’re doing all great and fine!

Cheers, and God bless.

Joseph

i’m moving out of this huge house (7 bedrooms!) and moving to a tiny flat, so no more houseparties for me.

i’ll have to make do with grown-up dinner parties where we all sit around and drink wine and go ‘oh this is wonderful dah-ling, thank you very much for this meal’. *rolls eyes* thank god we have a balcony and a bbq pit.
