Three

I think it's high time I updated

Three's company yup. How often do we think that a couple is being intruded when it's a threesome and there's somebody playing gooseberry. But sometimes couples have to think the other way when asking people out, I mean you might not mind having a lightbulb around but that person might mind being around a couple, and people always miss that out.

I was in the gym on friday and realised how stale it really smells.

What a long weekend and what a pile of homework I have as well. oh chelsea won the title.

Exploitation

I've always had a complex about figures in authority, so I've been kinda rebellious since like p4. People usually don't like being taken advantage of, I'm okay with it a lot of the time with friends but when a teacher exploits me, I feel kinda pissed.

So my form teacher took advantage of the fact that I was in season to complain to the DM that I was rude to her in class blah blah. So he confiscated my blue slip and I had to miss the hwa chong match which was postponed anyway, but that is not the point. So he told me how I shouldn't be selfish and that I should think for the team, and how he could make me miss the rest of the matches if I didn't do what was right by him. And then he came up with the line of the century " I'm not threatening you, I'm just broadening your perspective". Right and he went on to talk about how my form teacher would be the one writing my testimonial. And so I was 'enlightened' to agree to apologise.

Another thing about the Dm was that he tried playing good cop and bad cop without a partner, meaning he yelled at me like hell and after an interval of time he became all nice and councellor-like. I hate it when people try tactics like these on me, it's okay if i don't realise it but when I realise the attempt at manipulating me I get really fucking upset. Oh and did I mention that I also fucking hate it when people ask rethorical questions?

So this has not been a good week.

You will fly and you will crawl
God knows even angels fall.

The Art of Governance

That's the dictionary definition MM lee gave when asked what politics was. Anyway yeah so he was shootinghimself in the foot throughout the whole programme and kept avoiding the point of some questions.

Right so when asked about political apathy he said that if people did not bother to vote and did not care about politics, it meant that the government was doing well. Yeah and pamela anderson's boobs are real. Political apathy means people do not care and therefore do not know if another governemnt could be doing a better job. How can it be a reflection of the present government's excellence? It could mean that the people are having their daily needs met and do not feel compelled to start an uprising that's all. It doesn't show that the government is doing a superb job. Plus he kinda had his tongue in a twist when one guy went on to ask how then are we going to have capable replacements for the next generation if people are apathatic about politics since the PAP walks over every year.

Anyway I do feel that the presence of a decent opposition is important in any country. Maybe I should run for elections, ha.

It's good friday. Oh right, the season of easter chocolate bunnies and eggs. And church of course. And how fitting that the gospel of judas has been on a rampage all over national geographic the past week. I do think the kiss of judas is a beautiful and timeless representation of betrayal.

note to self: stay alive

hook line and sinker

I think I've taken them all and I simply can't believe it.

In so much of my life now I've hit the point where the only direction you can move is upwards. It's painfully liberating come to think of it, having nothing to lose anymore.

I used to want to prove people wrong a lot, people who really didn't matter at all. Teachers, parents etc. Ultimately, these people are but spectators to a life which only you are actually living out so whatever they say and whatever expectations they have of you aren't important at all. All that matters is answering to yourself. Plus I feel insulted if I could ever allow these insignificant spectators to be a part of my motivation to do well just because they've said somethings which make me want to prove them wrong. Besides, if you and God were the only two people whom you were ultimately held accountable to, life should be a lot less stressful too.

Of courese we all know that that isn't entirely feasible, we do have friends whom we would like being accountable to and I think what differentiates them from teachers and parents is that they go through the same shit we go through everyday. This makes them more than just mere spectators, they become people who can actually help us in a practical way even if it's just to provide the support and comfort we get from knowing we are all in this together.

So I was wondering, If someone set out to defame God by saying he is not capable of mercy, would he end up in heaven?
