Say it fast!
I'm down with some annoying virus. I have no phone. I've lost contact with the texting world.
Don't try to text/call/find me. I need Bob Loblaw.

What ageing population?
Babies... He's makin' babies... She's makin' babies... They're havin' babies... La la la, sing a song!
Boy is 13. Girl is 15. Boy's voice has yet to break, sounds like a girl. Girl looks old enough to be boy's mother. Both are stupid. Both are now parents.
Both still live off parents.
Both do not know how much diapers cost.
Both are confident of raising kid well... (??!?)
The new young parents seem to have been raised as Elizabethans... The time of Shakespeare, when girls were mothers in their teenage years (but guys were older than the girls even then...?). Where people died at, like, 35.
Are they the R&J of the PS3 generation (which happens to coincide with the Post-MJ-paedophile era, Britney Speares' circus season and the great Amy Winehouse dynasty)?
Things like that make me feel like our government has done a really good job........ If something like that happened in Singapore the father would be serving NS when the kid enters primary school. Yum. Watch out, university education fees!
"Huh? Need money ah? Take from parents lor. Parents no money then how? Dunno leh. Uh, whatever lah."
Singaporeans are deprived of such drama beause the likeliness is hardly existent here. Sigh. Don't worry, we will move on, live life and age together as a population cursed with normal brains, ordinary lives and longevity. ):
(Of course I'm basing my opinions on the following assumptions:
1. Our Sec 3 girls don't go out with Sec 1 boys
2. Most Singaporean parents are so ngiao about spending money and complain so often about how much bleddy money they spent on raising you that you know you need lots of money to raise kids. Like, LOTS.
3. Um... At 13 we think about algebra/what CCA to join more than having kids?)

Sick and sneezing and coughing and huffing and puffing into tissue.

art
《蝉歌》... What a tasteful and poetic title.
CO SYF set piece.
Inspired by a painting.
Painting looks like:
(Note: This is an artistic interpretation of the artwork, NOT by the original painter..... even though the difference is slight)
I am not lying. Or am I lying about not lying? Liar am I? Google yourself. This is a good opportunity to hone your skills in strategic research.
Rave reviews (not identified for privacy purposes):
"What painting?"
"That painting looks like... HUH?"
"Prob a portion of e whole painting?"
"No wonder I fail art, I don't paint with my toes. Damn."
"An epic inspiration. I now understand the music completely"
"Paiseh, isit my internet spoil or sth. Some grey patches?"
---
DISCLAIMER: Apologies if this offends any members of the public in any hurtful, disturbing or unsettling manner. We are not mocking the artist (who by the way was one of the best local painters ever). We are simply showcasing the creative musical genius of the composer who is able to interpret and translate the artwork into an interesting piece of music.
The artwork itself is a topic of worthy discussion; I am a semi-activist for the arts :D

Design for Living
华丽上班族 之 《生活与生存》
Esplanade Theatre
Huayi Chinese Festival of Arts
31 January 2009, 2.30 pm
Awe.some. This completely changed my impression of modern Chinese theatre. There are only three truly emotional scenes in this 300-minute play. Everything else are plain statements; cold representations of truth. But that's what makes it incredibly deep and dark.
Synopsis from programme:
"Survival calls for intelligence while living requires wisdom." A female boss feels threatened by a rumour. To secure her position and power, she begins to play mind games with others in her office, stirring up a hornets’ nest. Who will be the ultimate winner in the ensuing struggle for love, wealth and power?
Okay freeze-frame and monologues are duh powah :D
(Geez I'm such a theatre freak. I should really document all the productions I watched and slap myself for spending thousands on tickets.)
