crowds

the worst problem of modern society is gonna be overpopulation. one day, the severity of this problem will make justification of genocide practical. ethics & morality will bend to serve their master and life would become a priced commodity based on availability of resources.

so for now, being stuck in a crowd isn't all that bad. 50 years down the road, you might be employed in a company deciding which of these strangers gets to die to make way for others.

perhaps i should rethink my little aversion for crowds and learn to dwell in its unique cacophonous sanctity while it is still available. perhaps crowds in itself isn't a problem - but the demand for space is.

but without space, how can we play pool!? how else can i laugh at stupid tyco shots and losing the game by potting everything!? special mention to netto's amazing drive in trying to attain godlike pool skills. keep going man, while there's still space.

on a side note, i'm beginning to read other ppl's blogs. i feel like a weird voyeur. righttt... like as if i'm not already one huh. *splooch* here's a fun link: Why Singapore is a Pathetic Place

who is me

who is me?
that egotistical travesty
overconsuming amnesty
that construct between
you and me

who is me?
do the birds fly free
or is air controlling thee?
the point of view between
you and me

who is me?
a malfunctioning dichotomy
blithe evil wannabe holy
it's never simply between
you and me

who is me?
woe is me.

desperate cockroaches

amazing as it is, even i have succumbed to watching that dreaded show abt desperate american women living broken lives even with all their wealth. but the key point was running into a cockroach on the way to the toilet during a break. the cockroach seemed startled, and was trying to squeeze itself thru one of the small holes in the kitchen drain cover. i duly smacked it and got its carcass flushed down the toilet, but not without wondering why God created these tough little guys. just so you know, they've survived on this planet for 300 million years, approximately 100x more ancient than the first human. but aren't they just pests now? in terms of ecological significance, cockroaches aren't important - ants do a much better job clearing up leftovers, and few animals consider cockroaches a major part of their diet. God, why'd you make these gross creatures then? i ruminated on these silly thoughts as i returned to desperate housewives.

it then dawned upon me. these vectors of various diseases, these motifs of ill hygiene in the modern urban setting - they merely serve to remind us how beneath all the pretty pretenses we put up, the filthiness and dirty secrets we ignore are only multiplying.

aren't we little more than desperate cockroaches?

badminton idol


well, here's the man who did it. taufik hidayat... the year of the "taufiks" indeed. the singapore open really killed my eyes tho - too much to see! from impossible athletism to admirable sportsmanship, and also a plethora of good-lookers. which is why i need to rest my overworked eyes now... we'll see you again next year.

p.s.: i was working as line-judge/mopper. in case you guys really think i was simply watching the competition leisurely.
