Oh no, I can't sleep!

This does not bode well for the coming resumption of school life starting in oh, I don't know, 4 hour's time? Not to mention it's a long day with choir to top it off too. Man, this sucks.

Elections are coming up this weekend, and the newspapers are reporting more and more weaknesses in the opposition's arguments. Not surprising, of course, given that the media right now is obliged to help the PAP, since we all know that the PAP is going to win and propogating against them right now would be blesphemous.

Seriously, though, when is Singapore going to see actual changes?

In the world today, images count towards first impressions, and first impressions are everything, so that must make images really really important, right? While this might be true in technical terms, it's also true that people choose boyfriends and girlfriends based purely on looks, which is bullshit. Not that I'm jealous, as certain snobbish and prude people might say.

Say these two people like each other and get together because they like how each other look, gender notwithstanding. Suppose they get married now. In 20 years time, they're either going to be divorced or not having a happy marriage, because once these looks wear off, there's nothing in the relationship left for either of them, and hence we're left with two ugly people who hate each other. Not that I'm saying people get uglier as they grow older. When looking for a life partner, I'd reckon someone you can grow old and wrinkly with and still love would be good as opposed to someone you'd start getting irritated with really quickly. Being left on the shelf because you're stuck with a kid isn't a very pleasant experience. Even worse is when you've been in so many superficial affairs that people don't go near you anymore because they think you're either a bitch or an asshole(which is true in many such cases, actually, though you don't really need it to be a bitch, MJ proves this really well. To think these people still complain about the gossip surrounding them, the idiots).

This isn't to say that loving at a young age is a bad thing ; John Dunne already disproved that, and who am I to argue with him? The bad thing is loving too much, lest you lose sight of what's really important in this world. Love may be a really nice way to feel, but it's too easily manipulated and twisted to enjoy fully.

How incredibly random.
