What's going on?
I'm tired, I know that.
But lately my thoughts and arguments have been... as not as coherent as they should be.
Like a knife with a blunt edge.
And I can't seem to fix it.
Perhaps it's because I'm jumping from one thing to another too rapidly,
allowing distractions to take centre stage for a brief moment,
before attempting to get back on track only to be distracted again.
Goddammit I just did it again.
A thought popped in, I attended to it,
and here I am again.
The sharp, stabbing pain in my lower back sure as hell isn't helping.
I am worried.
Quite.
There are so many things I would like to do.
Refine my designs, start the process of getting an apartment, kickstart my startup ideas,
get another, better job...
So many things to do, so little time.
So very little precious time.
First thing's first.
Learn to focus. Work on my back, tighten the abs, lose the fat.
Back exercises every night before sleeping.
Avoid deadlifts for the time being.
Focus. One thing at a time.
Focus.
Well, enough of that

By A Thread
This is not a good time to write.
Not at all, and seeing how I'm already in hot water for not being able to close deals (a whole other story),
this could get me in serious trouble.
How I loathe that.
Being worried about 'getting into trouble'.
Having my future and well-being grasped firmly by someone else.
Nonetheless, I must write.
I must.
Even though I am tired,
and I've got a million things to do,
here I am.
Sounds dramatic, I know.
But it's my blog, so if you think it's lame or funny,
by all means bend over and stick your own head directly up your ass,
which doubles as your mouth.
Good.
Couldn't help reading Islamophobic comments on Yahoo SG,
regarding an article involving gunmen in freaking Kenya.
Holy shit why did I need to remind myself
about how stupid these people are?
Seriously.
In their minds: Kenyan gunmen related to Singaporean Muslims.
Right.
Without even confirming who they really are.
And even if they were actual Muslims,
what exactly do they have to do with us?
Oh right.
Muslims. Islam.
Great use of logic there.
They also have penises and heads.
You've got that in common with them, don't you?
What? Doesn't apply?
Of course it does.
Just take whatever common features you can find,
and use that as an excuse to target the group of your choice,
in this case, Muslims.
Fucking dumbass bigot cocksuckers.
The comment that really got to me was the condescending tone
about how he hopes Singaporean Muslims aren't like that.
Right.
Who the fuck exactly do you think you are,
that we need your fucking approval?
As if your goddamn opinion mattered.
Hint: It doesn't and neither do you.
Hey, I read about a Chinese man raping his daughter the other day.
Oh gee,
I really hope the Chinese men like you are not like that!
See how it works?
Probably not.
Anyway, I'm sleepy too.
And exhausted. And frustrated.
Writing's definitely on the wall,
and if this large deal doesn't come through,
then man,
I better have another job lined up.
Well enough of that

Fuzzy
It's Saturday afternoon,
the sun is still shining despite the rain.
Woke up pretty late,
although I can't say what I had was sleep.
So anyway yea, my thought process is a little fuzzy at the moment.
Words find it hard to escape the amorphous blob that is the thought form in my head.
Pretty cool sentence.
Not really.
Shut the fuck up.
An article that I first came across on The Real Singapore,
has recently been featured on Yahoo SG,
and is still being listed as one of the top stories.
Man, I love this.
I really do.
Can't recall the exact headline,
but it's basically something like 'Muslims Need to be more Accommodating Too'.
And it was about comments made by some Muslims working for the PAP,
ex-minister or something.
You pretty much know what to expect
from the mouth of someone working for the PAP.
And oh yes, he still does.
The bullshit that comes out of his mouth is classic. No surprises there.
Sow a bit more division.
Refresh the 'us' and 'them' narrative.
And of course, infuse it with a little bit of flavour that tilts the blame
in favour of the Muslims- who happen to be a minority with a history of being discriminated again,
including institutionalised discrimination.
Right.
Oh I'm sure some dumbass cocksucker will go 'No no no! YOU DON'T KNOW LAH! WHAT ABOUT THOSE MUSLIMS IN OTHER COUNTRIES HUH? HUH??'
Incoherent, and linked to something irrelevant.
That's pretty much the type of argument you're likely to come across
when speaking with a typical Chinese Singaporean.
'SEE? YOU RACIST TOO! WHAT ABOUT MALAYS HUH? HUH?? TALK ABOUT RACE! YOU RACIST TOO LAHHHH'
The never-ending stream of stupid bullshit would be hard to stem at this point.
So why Chinese Singaporeans?
Because the education system and policies were designed by the PAP
specifically along racial lines.
Divide and conquer.
History and Social Study textbooks paint a relatively consistent
negative picture of Malays and Muslims.
Some of it subtle, some it not so much.
Maybe this has changed. I doubt it.
But even if it has, the effects can be felt now.
And of course, the media plays a similar role.
We hear Lee Kuan Yew or any of the ministers
exhorting the Malays to step up on a regular basis.
Really? As if they needed help, instead of an even footing.
As if they were somehow genetically inferior,
or their culture holds them back.
Forget about history and their accomplishments.
Oh no.
Malays are just plain lazy, and don't realize their own potential,
so it's up to the enlightened Chinese leaders to give them that boost.
OH THANK GOD.
Never mind the fact that racial discrimination is pretty much legal here.
Hell, the government practices it.
Example? Check out the HDB's policies.
Anyway, back to the article.
Yeah... before I even address it,
man, when was the last time you saw
an article that pretty much told the majority to 'Be Less Racist',
or 'Your Perceptions Minority Races Is Wrong'.
Zero.
But yet again...
another article telling the Muslims to basically be more accommodating,
as if they were intolerant visitors from another land.
Oh sure, there's plenty of blame to go around on both sides.
But when the attention is disproportionately heaped onto the minority,
which traditionally experiences the most discrimination (if I need to explain 'why' to you, then please go fulfill your destiny by fucking a goat and shutting the fuck up).
Yea... if only those Muslims would just stop being the way they are, huh?
You dumb fucking cunt.
Did you read a script? Or did they give you enough room to improvise?
And Muslims need to be more accommodating?
How, exactly?
No specific examples in the article. None.
Just some generic 'encouragement'.
Another nail into the large negative perception of Muslims and Malays in Singapore.
Who knows to what extent the incidences of discrimination are going to increase?
Yea... if only we would actually track and study these things.
Determine the problem, then fix it.
But common sense went out the window a long, long time ago.
I can't wait to get off this fucking shit-stain island.

Hit Girl Rescue Scene Soundtrack
Arrived at 10.15am today.
I'm supposed to be here at 9am every day.
Yeahhh... that hasn't happened in a long while.
Maybe I really am depressed,
and just don't know it yet.
My sex drive has plummeted.
Each weekday morning greets me with
the message 'Come on, fuck it. Just quit'.
That it's raining outside,
and everything is a shade of grey is not helping.
It's been a while since I've written anything.
Read a few Islamophobic comments,
which you will come across nearly every single time
you read an article even remotely connected to Islam ("that bird in the picture looks like the bird I saw flying past a mosque in 2004! OMG ISLAMIC TAKEOVER HELP HELP!").
One thing I've noticed is that
the comments and arguments put forth in one article usually resemble the
exact same ones (which usually get debunked pretty quickly)
in others.
It's like the same goddamn group that live in their moms' basements,
continually searching for any article where they can spew their never-ending stream of bullshit.
And man oh man,
do they LOVE to perform incredible leaps of logic.
When you of course point this out,
they'll just create a brand new argument
by pointing to another irrelevant example,
which in their twisted little minds makes perfect sense.
For example,
they could say 'Islam promotes killing of non-muslims! OMG OMG!'
And we say 'Nope.'
And they would counter with something like 'BUT WHAT ABOUT IN??'
Yeah.
Because we're all connected like the motherfucking Borg,
and all our motivations are the exact same.
I live in Singapore.
How the fuck would I know who does what, and why they do it.
Another favourite tactic of theirs,
is to either take Quarnic verses or hadiths out of context.
That's when they're not straight up creating verses and hadiths out of thin air.
I gave up on responding to those dumbasses a long time ago.
But from time to time,
I do counter them silently.
Makes for good practice. Keeps the mind sharp, you know what I mean?
Anyway here I am in the office,
bored as hell.
Fortunately I've got that Hit Girl soundtrack still playing in my head.
Now that's a pretty cool song.
Well enough of that
