Dear Jackie

Please retire. I'm really sick of your slapstick humour and lousy shows. I have no idea why you just love to act in hollywood movies, don't you realise you're portraying a FUCKED UP image of asian people. You are the most disgusting actor alive, yeah u know kung fu, big deal that's just one more item on the list for americans to laugh at chinese people. I was looking forward to watching around the world in 80 days on star movies, thinking it might be close to the 19th century classic, and when I saw your name on the screen I decided to get off the tv. Honestly, did you ever think you were what Jules Verne had in mind when he came up with Passepartout?

-yours sincerely disgusted

The headlines today scream 96% of singaporeans are for the death penalty. Gee we sure are unsympathatic. If you kill, you get killed, sounds fair enough. I've read somewhere before though that capital punishment is a worse fate than being murdered hence making it unfair. Which is true because when you get the death sentence you will die for sure within a certain period of time. This creates psycological trauma because there is no hope whatsoever of escaping. However, when you get murdered at least you don't see it coming and there is always the hope of getting away. The death sentence is more traumatic than the crime of murder itself, so I don't really support it. Plus the bible says we're not fit to judge others anyway. I think certain degree of punishment should be enforced, not death though. I mean because there are always those nuts out there who would do anything as long as it's legal. On the other hand, since 96% of singaporeans support the death penalty, maybe it means that they probably won't be committing any crimes so that's quite a good figure for a safe country.

Valentine's day is coming. Saint Valentine got martyred on 14th feb. The history of this is rather interesting. Anyway the day has sort of evolved from commemorating marriage to something involving everybody or anybody you love. No harm anyway. Oh and it's kind of interesting that in rome then, people drew lots to decide their partners.

Right, so it's sort of movie season or something. All the great movies are out. Jarhead, North country, geisha which was sometime ago but I haven't caught it. And I must catch Casanova. I love 18th century european romance. It's the kind of love we don't see anymore nowadays. The take-a-plunge kind, meaning blind passion. It's sort of a fantasy because logically stuff like these don't work out most of the time. But that's what makes it nice to watch and indulge in. Plus I like the way people dressed back then too.

I need something morale-boosting like right now. It's high time something really good happened to me anyway. Sometimes I just feel really frustrated with everything and nothing in particular. It's like how a bit of this and that here and there that's not going too well balls into one big heap of frustration. Work, cca, god, people etc.
