Singapore
politics in a nutshell:
- be an idiot
- draw conclusions based on said idiocy to fit one's biased view of the world
- expect people who matter to listen or care
- complain when they do not (or simply get owned, as in this case)
God forbid
we turn into a Western democracy where politicians actually listen to idiots --
well, just the idiots with money.
But I
don't believe for a second that Singapore realpolitik is any more honorable. I
have purposely left profile photos and usernames of the commenters uncensored
to demonstrate this. Look: they have no profile photos, they use fake names
like "Ace", and they have very few public posts on their profiles.
What are the chances these are secondary accounts of opposition members or
simple crooks looking to make a quick buck? (think of the TRS saga)
If I may
practice my ad hominem: what an ace!

Anyway,
time to not stress for what's left of my holiday. Mostly been running errands
and dating my gf this past week: clothes, electronics, timetable, most things
have been organized and laid to rest. But now gf has gone to Sydney to prepare,
and I've got a 4 days of absolute
utter boredom to get ready for the next semester.
I had to
settle for Thursday + Friday as my free days this semester, because most time
slots are full. This means I have basically a 4-day weekend. I have to keep
telling myself not to slack and study during this time. It's going to be a
trial in discipline. Actually I have a lecture on
Friday, but from reading the course description and my experience with the
prerequisite class, I do believe the lectures for that course are going to be
pretty useless. I don't think I'll attend it past Week 1. To make up for it, I
am going to buy the book and just read the bones out of it.
Secondly,
I need to remember to avoid the kids for about the first month or so. Diseases
go around, and illness makes my life miserable. I hate getting sick.
March 03
Few more
hours until I get to the airport, board a plane, and return to Sydney.
There's an
overbearing feeling of loneliness right now. It will probably fade before the
end of tomorrow. But I know this feeling all too well. When I was 13, I told my
(then) best friend that I was fine with being a loner, fine with how my life
was going - it was not fine. When I was 18, I told myself that my suicide would
produce a net benefit to society. When I was 20, I overturned those beliefs and
said I would work as hard as I could.
Sometimes,
like today, I wake up and realize just how much work I have left to do.
Things I
have done these past few days: play Warframe and chill out mostly. But I have
covered more achievements in Warframe than I have in the past week.
- The most important achievement: I finally beat The War Within, the last chapter in the Warframe storyline! Now I can truly say I am an accomplished Warframe player =P
- Now the proud owner of a Nova Prime! Nova is one of the most popular warframes, and it's about damn time I got the Prime version on my team.
- Now the proud owner of a Banshee Prime! She's the newest frame and I'm really happy to have her.
- Got to Mastery 14
- Got to Mastery 15
- Lastly, I did my part for the new clan challenge, placing a solid 824 points. I do want to try for 1000+ when I arrive in Sydney if I get the time, because my clan leader really wants Top 10 and I get the feeling I'm on her bad side already. But considering I only need ~400 points as minimum contribution, I think I'm doing okay.
I've got a
ton of beautiful screenshots on my computer as well; too lazy to upload them
though.
