If you, too, agree that this constitutes as discrimination against useful and significant members of our society - who should have the same rights to love and express affection as everybody else - please sign the open letter to Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to appeal for the abolition of Section 377A of the Singapore Penal Code.
The deadline for this petition is 19th October, 2007.

Society failed to tolerate me
And I have failed to tolerate society
Still I can't find what you adore
Inside I hear the echoes of an inner war
Nothing can take the horror from me
Your sick world the loss of all morality
My hate has grown as strong as my confusion
My only hope my only solution
is a Violent Revolution
Violent Revolution, Violent Revolution
Reason for the people to destroy
I do not need a cause for my rage
I just despise the nature of the human race
When all I see is repulsion and hate
Violence becomes my only friend, my saving grace
When love is lost beyond your control
A pale shadow of lust can not enlight your soul
So keep your ice cold bitter illusions
I don't need your empty world my only solution
is a Violent Revolution
Violent Revolution, Violent Revolution
Reason for the people to destroy
Beauty is no more it's all gone
And utopia will not come
Trust I can not feel, only pain
And my burning mind has gone insane

Mostly, I'm just tired of having to do things I don't really want to do.

BEIJING, July 19 (Reuters) - Beijing police have detained a television reporter for fabricating an investigative story about steamed buns stuffed with cardboard at a time when China's food safety is under intense international scrutiny.
A report directed by Beijing TV and played on state-run national broadcaster China Central Television last Thursday said an unlicensed snack vendor in eastern Beijing was selling steamed dumplings stuffed with cardboard soaked in caustic soda and seasoned with pork flavouring.
Beijing authorities said investigations had found that an employee surnamed Zi had fabricated the report to garner "higher audience ratings", the China Daily said on Thursday.
"Zi had provided all the cardboard and asked the vendor to soak it. It's all cheating," the paper quoted a government notice as saying.
A city-wide inspection of steamed bun vendors in the wake of the report had found no such cases, the paper said.

g3nerations
1st Sept '07, Saturday
Victoria Concert Hall, 8pm
Tickets @ $15, free seating
G3nerations is a showcase of works by three generations of composers who are linked by teacher-student relationships, with pieces by Dr Goh, his teacher Dr Charles Hoag, his peer Dr Andrew Bonacci, and several of Dr Goh's students. (Pretty fitting as a teacher's day concert, eh?) Many of the works in this concert are being performed for the first time.
Tickets through me if interested =)
We also have a "Sponsor-A-Ticket" programme! If you're not free on that day or choral music is not really your thing, you can also sponsor a ticket for charity (we'll give the ticket to someone from a home/organisation who's interested in the performance but doesn't have the financial ability to afford the ticket). Details on the benefiting organisation when I get them =)

Watching that movie really brought back some good memories of back when I used to read the books. I remember liking them so much I finished most of the series before I started primary school! After I saw the trailer for the movie, I went to dig up some Nancy Drew books to read for fun, and it was only then that I realised all the books were written by different people because the writing style was pretty different. And there I was, always thinking that this Carolyn Keene person must be the richest woman on earth... haha!

I've always preferred a good book over watching some insipid show on tv, plus living in the school's hostels also meant it was kind of a bother having to fight over the shared tv (nobody ever wants to watch the stuff I want to watch... they're always watching some blah chinese drama that freezes my brain).
And being the geek girl and nature lover I am, I've basically been watching BBC's Planet Earth series. And I finally caught March of The Penguins as well, which I really enjoyed. Given the sorry state of the world, in a few more decades maybe all we'll have of these beautiful creatures are these documentaries =( Tragic, ain't it?
In other news, watched Spiderman 3 a while back, and it was pretty sucky. I think I still like the first spidey movie best.

The good news is that it isn't painful at all. The bad news is I suspect it's due to paresthesia, where the nerve that runs near the tooth was bruised or damaged during the operation, so half my face is numb. 99% of people recover from it, so I just hope I'm not that other one percent :\
[Edit: Oh yar, and my face is swollen. And because my mouth is full of blood, I look like a Killer Hamster -_-; ]

(by Alanis Morissette)
I can be an asshole of the grandest kind
I can withhold like it's going out of style
I can be the moodiest baby
And you've never met anyone
Who's as negative as I am sometimes
I am the wisest woman you've ever met
I am the kindest soul with whom you've connected
I have the bravest heart that you've ever seen
And you've never met anyone
Who's as positive as I am sometimes
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here
I blame everyone else, not my own partaking
My passive-aggressiveness can be devastating
I'm terrified and mistrusting
And you've never met anyone as,
As closed down as I am sometimes
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here
What I resist persists, and speaks louder than I know
What I resist you love, no matter how low or high I go
I'm the funniest woman that you've ever known
I am the dullest woman that you've ever known
I'm the most gorgeous woman that you've ever known
And you've never met anyone
Who is as everything as I am sometimes
You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here
And you're still here
And you're still here...

I'm really not surprised if the apple ads backfire a little. John Hodgman (the guy who acts as PC) is just too funny!

... seems to be something wrong with my blogger. I can't see my own blog, but it seems that everyone else can. WTF. Also, the new blogger dashboard just pissed me off muchly by saving over all my previous templates without giving me the option of republishing index only.
(In other news, this is my 666th post!)

2nd March 2007, 8pm
Kampong Kapor Methodist Church (location map)
Free Admission
Early music/Baroque stuff, a collaboration between Amadeus Choral Society and the American Guild of Organists (Singapore Chapter). Free admission because it's a church, but I think they'll be passing a donation tin around... AGO is bearing the cost and I think their operation costs are about $15 per person, but just put in what you can afford.
9th March 2007, 8pm
Victoria Concert Hall
tickets at $15 (free seating)
The first time I'll actually not be singing for the NTU Choir's annual concert =P Anyway... interesting repertoire this year, songs from all over the world. And instead of a musical, they're having a pop music second half. But the sound's not bad this year. Tickets available through me, if interested.

| You Are 47% Peaceful |
 In general, you think the world's a pretty great place - and you're happy to be a part of it. Sometimes you struggle with life, but who doesn't? You are quite level headed, though you have more inner angst than you'd like. |
*angst angst angst angst*

I was out doing my photography assignment today and spotted a cat acting a little funny, so I followed it and realised that someone had tied a plastic wire (those things the security guards at Mustafa shopping centre use to tie up your bags) around its neck.
For those of you who don't know how that thing works, basically you can only make it go tighter and the only way to get it off is to cut it off. And the wire was already cutting into his neck, so the poor guy must have been wearing it for at least a day and it was slowly suffocating him to death.
His muzzle was all bloodied so the person(s) must have kicked/hit him as well, so he was very reluctant to let me get near him. Luckily there was another cat nearby that kept wanting to play with me, and I guess when I didn't harm that cat he figured I was ok. Borrowed a pair of scissors off a mama shop and it took me a while to get the wire off because I was afraid of accidentally cutting him, but he seemed ok after I freed him.
The poor guy after I cut the wire off (offending would-be murder weapon in background). Notice the dried blood on his face... argh, makes me want to strangle whoever did it!
So I managed to save this one cat, but seriously, I wanted to kill the sick fuck who did it. This would have been a drawn-out and pretty torturous death, and it's not killing for food or survival - this was killing for fun. And recently there was someone in NTU who killed a stray by tying a rubber band around its neck.
I swear if I see that idiot who did that to the cat, I'm going to tie a plastic wire around his neck and show him just how "fun" it is.

I didn't think I'd feel this way, but I'm actually looking forward to graduation and not having to sit through stupid classes and put up with stupid lecturers anymore.
