I have either grown more intellectually mature or am merely feeling that the modern episodes of The Simpsons are becoming more and more crass, plain stupid and a pain to watch, especially when the shows producers conveniently neglect that the show is broadcast worldwide and with the rapidly declining hegemony and appeal of the US many people are increasingly put off by allusions to the lazy and decadant American lifestyle. Perhaps society has progressed and a shameless celebration of morbid obesity, an excessive lifestyle, blatant moralizing that assumes the audience is too intellectually inept to realize and the stagnation of the characters in their roles, it seems that the show has been encased in a crystalline sphere, blinded by the successes of a bygone era, too crippled and handicapped to move on.

and it is quite evident that i'm not the only person who sees that.

hehe. This is by no means my personal validation nor legitamization of the things brought up during the clip =)

I haven't spoken to my brother in quite a while, partly due to the fact that I haven't gone home in slightly under a month. You could say I miss being lectured to and learning worldly advice from him. And my sis-in-law. Sure I have to bear the unglamorous honour of being the 'condescended-to' one when we're out as the trio but hey its useful advice though i dont always have the opportunity to practise it. and damn it my neck has been twitching for the whole evening. someone must be thinking of/missing me right now. hehe. me airhead so big. i've been feeling gum and over the moon in recent days because all my 'game dates' have been thinking of me. heheh. Somehow i wish i had chosen an even prettier girl as my date if i knew things would turn out this way! aaarrhh but life still sucks balls lah. still single still available still weird and still acting like i've already gotten A+'s for all my mods.

I should really stop bumming and acting like i have a master's thesis in comparative singapore politics/geography. gdamnit its the 1st time i've ever seen an exam held on a saturday too.
bye!

In celebration of the revolutionary championing and triumph over the belligerent and antagonistic southeast asia exam this morning (I honestly took Prof Irving's and Goh's words of "relax and enjoy the paper. it'll be fun" a little bit too seriously. Damn it. Anyway for a mini-celebration and to honestly resocialize myself to mainstream society after the arduous strain of Niccolo Machiavelli and other assorted whimsical borish political science jargon, I went to Old Chang Kee today. I always feel very guilt-ridden/plain sad/dont-let-anyone-see-me-here kind of feeling whenever i go there. something like being caught at a pornshop. Fine I've been having cravings and desires for their naaisee curry puffs through the week and today was a fine excuse for me to get one. but the heady, dizzying cloud of grease fumes and the sound+sight of screaming oil in the background which you see in the shop isnt a very pleasant sight.
and well here i go with the mental images again. this overweight girl was infront of me and i felt sad for her to see her getting so much of all that food. its sad because no one might ever say it to her but no guy's ever going to be interested in her because of this.

you know you're definately attracting the wrong crowd when the machik at the malay canteen stall asks whether you have a girlfriend and the cleaning lady of your floor asks why are you smiling at her all the time.
to which she promptly barks back 'hen hao xiao meh?'.

but i'm glad to say i went to bed last night a very happy man. for reasons unknown i've nv felt more elated in recent memory haha.
then i woke up this morning realizing that sc1101e was barely 1 day away and i should really stop behaving like i already have a PhD in sociology/pol. sci/sea/geography.

one day while out with a female friend, we took the mrt. on the train, she sat beside this american lady (presumably on exchange) who was actually quite similar to her in appearance of age. okay i never really seen that girl friend of mine in that way but then i suddenly realized that even the most plain jane singapore/asian girl has innate qualities of beauty that perhaps only males from this part of the region are able to comprehend. like how why some guys like pale snow flaked skin women while others like the tropical baked skin look. anw I impulse smsed someone yesterday night which i didnt mean to. ): why i so random.

is a degendered society possible(one in which gender stereotypes are eliminated)?
will there still be Male and Female toilets?
would familial roles and responsibilities become egalitarian?
what are the costs and consequences involved. hmm while you're at that think abt this picture:

oh man i shld stop writing boring SC1101 entries here.
on that side note i honestly honestly have the knack for attracting all the wrong types of people. from a tranny along orchard rd then to a chinagirl. and now a north african girl.
why?!? why!!

anyway since we're in the mood for cartoons lets look at this one. heheh.

while constipating out my pol. science essay i watched a movie about the life of Gandhi. sure it was a convenient excuse to go catch a movie becos my whole essay only had a tiny bit abt Gandhi's recruitment in the British Imperial War in Zulu. S.A.
I seriously didnt realize the extraordinary life the scrawny indian man had. despite being dressed in shambles or what should be properly termed as ethnic gujarati robes this man actually studied law in london. who was his sponsor, was never revealed or known. and by the age of 22, (which is unfortunately my age right now) he already got admitted to the bar as a london barrister. no if you're thinking abt that right now, no its not. a london barrister is not someone who makes coffee for you at the london starbucks outlet. he returned to India with high hopes of making it big only to realize that his own caste had outcasted him for leaving india to study with the imperialists in london. casteless and literally a rookie in the law circles of india, he had little hope but to again leave his home and take up a job in Durban, South Africa. damnnnnn i'm getting bored repeating everything i saw in the movie. just take it that gandhi had an exciting life lah. haha. he was perpetaully thrown into jail repeatedly by the british but for some reason they kept letting him out again. now i feel guilty for writing a wholesome 1500word essay deriding his seemingly fruitless and inefficient method of nonviolence and sitting down and doing nothing expecting the british to accede to his demands. (which they surprisingly did cave in to his hunger strike campaign.)

still my all-time favourite in the whole essay :) i took a damn long time to come up with this ok.

"More importantly, they viewed this exploitative molestation of their oppressed classes as suitable justification for violence as a more effective and tangible method against the elite, as opposed to ideas of faith and determination such as those put forth by Mahatma Gandhi."
