Why just cancel the flypast? Cancel the NDP entirely!

9 comments

National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan Mabok Tongue has said the government gahmen cannot reduce petrol taxes despite the soaring oil prices. He added that motorists should try to cut down the number of trips to reduce energy consumption. So, how about the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) adopting this practice as well and cancelling the flypast portion at this year’s National Day Parade? Several evenings each week, the RSAF conducts low-flying practice flights across the island, using up very expensive jet fuel while creating noise pollution. The gahmen must take the lead if it expects its citizens to follow its advice. There are still seven weeks left to save that expensive jet fuel. – Denis Distant

I read this with some amusement because I was telling a colleague one day that this year’s flypast should be cancelled before Mr. Distant wrote this. In fact, I was saying, just do away with the NDP entirely. What is the point of a flypast and all that military display? Are we a communist nation like… North Korea?

It is not only a complete waste of fuel, but also the time of our national servicemen. On top of that, all that fireworks is a complete waste of money which perhaps require one day’s revenue of ERP. Furthermore, consider the carbon dioxide emissions that this one parade is going to produce when those spotlights comes on in the evening. Do we really need such displays to fire up our patriotic fervor for just the duration of the parade and after the parade everyone goes back to jousting one another for a seat on the MRT immediately when an hour ago may have been singing about how they love this country and its people?

Just give me a freaking break, ok? Because after all that talks about how Foreign Fallen Talents were the reason why we are keeping our jobs – which technically make us all looked like we are just a bunch of good-for-nothings – I have no reason to feel nationalistic or patriotic whatsoever.

Anyway, talking about the reduction of energy consumption, can the ministers tell us how much energy they are consuming in their bungalow houses – for e.g. at what temperature the thermostats of their air-conditioners are set? And how many jacuzzi, play stations, Wiis, and Xbox360s they have? Have they yet given up their cars to take the public transport to experience our World Worst Class Transport – especially during rush hours – first hand?

Quit farting out of your mouths, you 3-million-dollar white-shirt fxxkfaces. Just try for once to live the lives we live, before telling us what’s really good for us, alright?

Sh-italy OUT!!!

Spain 4 : 2 Sh-italy (on Penalty)

Buffon must have used all his luck saving that late penalty against Romania, or else these shitheads would have been out already.

But yes, Sh-italy is OUT, finally!!! It’s a pity it took so long and these bunch of charlatans didn’t crash out with zero goals and zero points in the first round. I have waited long and hard for this day. These undeserving swines shouldn’t even be there for the quarterfinals. Romania would have been more deserving of that position but unfortunately they simply didn’t play well enough against the Netherlands.

Keep up the string of bad luck, Sh-italy, for there is nothing more joyous for me to see you bunch of divers, actors and thieves of the 2006 World Cup get the retribution you so deserved!!

Movie: You Don’t Mess with the Zohan

4 comments

If you are expecting any serious stuff from this movie, then you shouldn’t watch it. It’s an Adam Sandler movie and pure comedy.

The story is about Zohan, an Israeli super-commando who can kick through walls to knock out terrorists hiding behind them, strips a terrorist’s weapon faster than he can pull the trigger, catches bullets with his noise, and kicks any terrorists ass many ways. Yet all he wanted to do was to get away from all the fighting, and be a hair stylist.

Failing to get the understanding from his parents, Zohan fakes his death in a mission to capture the terrorist known as ‘The Phantom’, and then stow away on a plane to America to seek his dreams. After failing to be employed by several hair stylists, he ends up in a neighbourhood where the Arabs and the Israelis live side by side along a common street.

This is where he met Dalia, an Arab girl, and was given a job in the her hair salon and he subsequently fell in love with her after a while. In the background were subplots on how Halim, whose goat was taken by Zohan back when they were still in Israel, trying to take revenge for that deed, and how an evil developer tried to create tension and hatred among the Israeli and Arab expatriate communities so they will move out to allow him to build a mall.

Of course in the end the man gets the girl, and the bad guy gets his just deserts. Behind all these is probably this one big ‘lecture’ on how there isn’t really much separating everyone except for the politics, while the politics also linked them together, and how everyone can put aside the hatred and live happily together. You know, that usual bs about America is the melting pot of all cultures and the land where everyone goes to live out their dreams. [I believe the Russian word for that would be Strana Mechty – Country of Dreams.]

I wondered beyond that, whether the underlying theme behind this movie is trying to tell us that Israeli super-commandos are horny and immoral to the point they don’t care who they are humping. Or is it trying to hint that the Americans – symbolised by the the white real estate developer Walbridge – is the mastermind behind all the flare ups in the Middle East. Of course, I agree entirely that it is meaningless to capture the terrorists only to exchange them after some talks.

My personal opinion is just enjoy the movie and laugh about it without looking for too much meaning. We all need some mindless humor and relaxtion once in awhile and this movie would definitely provide it if you would keep yourself from being too critical or trying to hard to be an artsy fartsy dimwit.

Netherlands 1 – 3 Russia (aet)

Yes! Russia!

A deserving loss for the Netherlands for not letting Romania through so the blasted Shitalians can go back to do some Alfresco dining eating Spaghetti and coffee drinking!

Are we looking at the possibility of a Turkey vs Russia finals?

(If you need to sing the Russian Anthem patriotically… watch the following Youtube video and karaoke on your own. It might have been the ‘Hymn of the Soviet Union’ but then I don’t know better…)

无耻之徒

别人公开了自己被非礼，或者被诽谤了就让法庭用正当的法律途径来解决。非亲非故之鼠辈，又何必妄下评论？

我已经习惯了互联网上一些本地用者 (并不完全指以下的博客们) – 也可以说是多数本地用者 – 的狭隘，缺乏逻辑和不负责任。他们不遗余力的向世界证明新加坡无知之人比比皆是，但是拥有智慧认识自己无知的却少之又少。与此同时不知自己无知的他们还喋喋不休的说个不停。不单如此，有些还自鸣正义和恬不知耻的来肯定自己拥有那无耻的权力。这一类卑鄙下流之辈非但不是举世无双，而且还大有人在。本座以为，只要再加努力，有朝一日他们的无耻肯定能达到登峰造极的境界。

[Translation]: When someone publicised her ordeal of being molested, or when someone claims to have been defamaed, what should be done would be to let the courts settle the matter rightfully and legally. Is there a need for the unrelated and the unacquainted to offer their unsolicited comments?

I am used to the narrow-mindedness, lack of logic and irresponsibility of some local netizens (and I don’t really mean the bloggers in the screen capture below) – in fact many local netizens. They tirelessly prove to the world repeatedly that ignorant people are common in Singapore, and those with the wisdom to know they are ignorant are rare. Yet, these ignorant people who are unwary of this fact continue to chatter endlessly and meaninglessly. On top of that, some of these even justify their right to being shameless self-righteously and without any evidence of shame. Unfortunately, these despicable and low-class individuals are not a rarity, but common. It is our considered opinion that with some diligence, there will be one day they would achieve the pinnacle of shamelessness.
