Random reflections from a broken mirror
"Society tends to stifle those with great minds"
I would have to agree with the above quote. As much as i would hate to admit it, our little island has as much creativity as the size of this country on the world map. And to back up my claim just pick up a remote control and turn on the television and my point has been proven.
Every single broadcast coming from Mediacorp has 'I have copied the idea of this show from another country because i'm am pathetic and worthless enough to not think up of my own program' written all over it.
Why people prefer to watch Korean or Japanese shows is mainly because the shows that they come up with are purely based on the intellect of the people there, not 'stolen' from some other show they saw while lazying on the couch at home thinking what to do with their lives and to fufill their job requirement of entertaining the public.
It tends to hit me hard in the faces sometimes that the government does what's best for THEM and not for us. They probably used the extra 2% tax they squeezed out out of forcefully to build a impossibly huge golf course in the Istana hidden away from public eyes so that they could have
fun while we slog out asses off daily from 9am-5pm with only an hour of resting time in between and a measly pay in order to provide bread on the table everyday for out families.
So sue me, but doesn't this prove my point otherwise? What has the governement done for us that has been USEFUL for us other than taking away a small portion of our yearly income every now and then? Hell, i wouldn't be surprised if 2 years down the road GST would increase to 10%. I could only imagine what kind of hell would break lose if such insanity would be carried out by Singapore's already ______(insert word here) governement.
Right, now that i'm done with dillusional ranting that is none of my concern whatsoever, time to carry on with my already dillusional life. =D
Just last Sunday i went to pay my respects to my late godfather who passed away a few weeks ago. Arrived at the temple where his ashes lay and did what i needed to do. Then walked aroudn the temple and saw my cousin staring at this apparently humongous cage that could have fit a orang utan but it was empty... that was until i looked at the floor of the cage. Here's a peek,

like WOW.

Here's a bird's eye view of it. Not that any bird would be able to view it without being eaten first -__-"
Mum was complaining how the body of the snake was already as big as a human thigh. Surprising enough i heard that they only feed it once a month. But it gets a full course meal. An entire chicken. Man would i like to be there suring feeding time.
We thought it was sleeping because my godmother told me that when it was awake it's eyelids would be red. BUT apparently IT WASN'T. Because in the first picture it's head was peeking out but after we were debating over what kind of snake it was and when we checked back at the cage THE HEAD DISAPPEARED.
I couldn't imagine what a snake like that would do if it escaped into the wild. Probably start a whole Anaconda movie or some shit like those typical movie where some overly mutated animal is on the loose and eats up everyone. This snake could eat a cow for pete's sake let alone a human.
Right, i've done enough talking for today. Let's end with a random picture of myself =x

That's my house in the background in case you wanted to know. It's small, but comfy =D
