10 Things About Me That Might Freak You Out

1. I talk to and scold my computer.
2. I can lose my temper in… 30s and rage for 10 minutes without rest.
3. I can rave and rant about the gahmen in public without any reservation.
4. I can scold Hokkien vulgarities in 12 syllabus instead of 7.
5. I eat faster than most people… if you consider swallowing ‘eating’.
6. I have an elephant memory… until I get even.
7. When you are not on my side of my fight, step aside and don’t get in the way.
8. I believe the Tali-PAP mini$ter$ are just a bunch of money grabbing mofos and a just death for them would be that of Judas Iscariot.
9. I believe we need a new gahmen, one not run by the Tali-PAP.
10. All Tali-PAP lackeys should be executed… by firing squad… with a 155mm Howitzer.

I am not gonna tag anyone. So, don’t worry about it.

台湾总统大选不出所料，马英九胜利了。希望这会在台湾民主历程里翻开新的一页，也希望这场大选不会只是中国国民党和马英九的胜利，而是台湾全体人民的胜利。
十五年前，我曾经在台湾住了一年。当年二十二岁的我站在从台北火车站通往新光三越的行人天桥上，终于了解歌手郑智化为什么说新加坡犹如被阉割的男人。虽然当时心里还是有点愤愤不平，非常恼怒一个外人如此批评我的国家。但是，我从此忘记不了台湾的美、和台北的活力。可以说，我爱上了我人生里第一个到达的，在新加坡以外的地方。(对，在这之前，我连柔佛新山都没去过！) 虽然不能说得上了解台湾，但是对台湾这块土地却很有感觉。回国后，对台湾的时事通常也会关心一下。随后的十几年间，我还是有断断续续的回到台湾去。也在这段时期里，和在 AsiaFriendFinder 里认识的一个台湾朋友见了面。这位有住台中的友人的热情，我铭记于心。能赶搭早上五点多的火车赶上来台北来带我游玩，我可以说没齿难忘。因为我有生以来从来，就算是最好的朋友，也没有那么的热情。因为虽然在网络上聊过，我对这位友人来说还是一个从来没见过面的陌生人。
所以，虽然那里发生的事和我无关，但是我对台湾的事一向来都关心。这八年在贪腐的陈水扁和民进党的无能统治之下，台湾的处境我也痛心。终于，台湾人英明的选择了结束这场恶梦，成功的进行了第二次的政党轮替。也是继马来西亚一样选择了一条新的道路。 我在想，台湾和马来西亚的国民都果敢的选择了改变，新加坡人也会有这种勇气吗？新加坡人，何时何日，你才能了解什么叫参与式民主？还是你觉得把决定自己命运的权力永远交给行动党，是最好的选择？

从 Adam Zhang’s 的网志上一篇关于西藏暴乱的文章看到了这视频，顺便转载到这里。我个人同意视频里和转载的文章作者的一些论点。
	视频里提到的南斯拉夫联邦 (Yugoslavia)… 现在已经分裂为: 克罗地亚 (Croatia)、波斯尼亚 (Bosnia-Herzegovina)、黑山 (Montenegro)、斯洛文尼亚 (Slovenia) 和 塞尔维亚 (Serbia) 等五个国家。但是还不够，现在还想把科索沃 (Kosovo) 从塞尔维亚弄出来。(如果没记错，好像马其顿 (Macedonia) 也原本是南联的成员之一。) 食髓知味，西方 – 基本上美国 – 又想重施故技，在西藏 (Tibet)、新疆 (Xinjiang)、台湾 (Taiwan) 制造冲突，用来牵制、破坏中国。那 “鸟人” 李察基尔 (Richard Gere)，为何对西藏那么关心？他在印度不是因为非礼某印度女星成为该国不受欢迎的人物吗？人格如此弊劣的人，他凭什么批评中国，为西藏的 “解放” 代言？
还有，别忘了最近的一段 “小插曲” – 故意在奥运接近时，叫些什么人辞去顾问职位，说什么无法再容忍中国人权记录不好才如此。甚至把缅甸 (Myanmar) 和苏丹达富尔地区 (Sudan’s Darfur Region) 的冲突的责任都推到中国头上… 说穿了，真正的目的就是为了破坏北京奥运！ 以上这些这只不过是其恶毒阴谋的一部分而已。其它还包括煽动日本在东海上和中国争夺春晓气田和占领钓鱼群岛 (Diaoyutai Islands)、南韩占领黄海上属于中国的礁石、表面承认一个中国，背后支持台独、鼓吹 “中国威胁论”、批评中国军费缺乏透明度、借故协助日本发展反导弹设施剑指中国等等，每一项都是恶意针对中国的。 够了！是应该停止了吧？！我或许不了解所谓西藏问题的历史背景，但对西方如此卑鄙的手段也实在是看不下去了。曾经有人说过：把中国当成假想敌，最终中国将会变成真正的敌人。好自为之吧！

Well, the longer Mas Selamat Kastari (MSK for short) is on the run, the juicier the conspiracy theories that are spun.

This is one version I heard and it goes like this:

MSK didn’t really escape * gasp *, and he is actually still safely in the custody of the ISD. All of these is actually just an elaborate ruse with some specific purposes.

Firstly, there is one last known JI operative still on the run. They are using MSK to bait this guy out of hiding. If this guy even so much as try and make contact with MSK or some hitherto unknown JI cells in Singapore, the security forces in South East Asia will be all over him like bad smell before he even knows it.

Secondly, the ISD released several JI detainees not long ago in January, and this might also be a litmus test to see how they react, and to see if there’s any reason they should detain them again.

Finally, the ISD may want to detain certain people, who are suspected to be members of JI sleeper cells. However, being sleeper cells, that means they have done nothing that would be a threat to national security. Therefore, the ISD cannot at this moment detain them on mere suspicion alone. They would need some solid evidence to work on, and should these cells activate to try and aid their on-the-run leader, then the ISD will then have sufficient grounds to detain these members.

And that will really be a big coup for our security services… and that’s really so Sun Tzu – you make yourself look weak so your enemies under-estimates you and make a mistake.

The human mind is a scary thing, indeed. Now get back to work… I am just putting down in words some of the garbage I have gathered over several MSN and coffee shop chats.
