I friggin hate singapore media man. Yes yes I do watch TV and read the papers everyday, But the fact that i read it everyday is the very reason why i'm so pissed. Straits Times is more like a tabloid to me now, i read it with the same approach i go reading 8 Days and newpaper. And thats saying a lot about how much this sucks because magazines like 8 Days are living in their own small little mediacock world, seriously no one gives a damn how much weight Olinda Cho weighs and Newpaper only bothers to tell you about the latest news in murder, divorce and kidnapping. Suck it!
Back to the Straits times, its really sad when you see the standard of their reporting. I cringe. Look at the blatant way you HIDE the fact that singapore is losing money in buying over Shin corp. Friggin 2 billion bucks! In two days wah lau! Thats not all, you don't even give enough credit to our singapore paddlers who won gold in Melbourne. And what do you hide it with? You report on elections. You give pages galore on elections and you use a little 10 by 20 cm box for the shin corp lost. Nabeh. You can disagree with me but look, unless you live in potong pasir you don't realy need to read the papers to know who wins. Seriously, I have nothing with the government man, but i'm not happy at the way my country is reported.
Farg newspaper.
I'm saddened and very disappointed at the way some of my lecturers teach. No, not teach, they preach. They preach stupid causes which on the surface sound reasonable but if you take a closer look really it just shows how much money we waste in employing such people. My genes lecturer spends an hour talking about how much genetically modified food benefits society and spends like half a slide and 5 minutes on its “side effects”. Nabeh. And guess what this module is called? Genes and Society. Wah lau she spends at least 10 lectures on genes technology and science-sy stuff and then breezes thru the ethical implications with one lame lecture. (just imagine me watching youtube on my laptop as she displays slides with scans of newsweek, times and straits times, fuck man straits times again) Come on your a lecturer at a SUPPOSED top university and you give ethical discourses that are worse than a lousy JC general paper essay. Farg man. I have a good feeling you gonna throw ethical questions on how much genes study should be done on child selection and you gonna do it MCQ style man. I can so imagine tearing up the paper now.
Farg school.
Oh man i just read yesterday's URBAN from straits time again. I read it for a good laugh. Every week they set aside a section called “hey good-looking”. It started off with people on the streets but has downgraded itself by interviewing people they meet in clubs and really snobbish functions that are supposedly “hip and happening”. Thats not all, they always BRAG about how much they got their clothes for . Instead of saying “the shirt is from Calvin Klein” they say “this $500 dollar shirt is from a Calvin Klein store i got from japan” Whats better and really tickles my bones is when they say they bought stuff from the flea market at exorbitant prices say like 50 bucks. thanks for getting yourself ripped off, come on nothing more than 20 bucks man.
“I chanced upon this shawl at a local flea market and got it for a steal at 50 bucks” hur hur
Oh oh and i really want to say this. Horoscopes, i so friggin hate horoscopes man. They are everywhere! Horoscopes were derived from the fact that the universe was revolving around the earth. Yes us selfless two legged dumbasses thought that the planet we lived on was the centre of everything.
The smack in your face truth is that the big ball of dirt you live on isn't the centre of the universe.
Double smack, we all revolve around the earth and stars are so many gazillion light years away they seriously don't give us humans a damn.
Triple smack they don't bother about your relationships, your work life or your work. We are useless little two legged mammals to them.
Please don't let a 4 by 4cm column determine who or what you are.
My stop is near
I shall rant more next time.
yes it did feel good after i wrote this.
