it generally sucks when a plan backfires on you. i had this one about attending physics lectures. i'll just skip the ones i really dislike( cos of the lecturer) and read my textbook at home. i have a really good textbook too. but somehow, the stuff taught in the lecture doesnt appear in my textbook, so there goes my master plan. end result, now i have to attend lectures.

on a brighter note, i attended my 1st econs S lecture today. essentially, i'm intimidated, but very happy. its free liscence to be disagreeable there. u can isagree with anything, as long as u have the logic to back it up. yeah its a whole load of fun.

this is another insane idea brought to you by an unstable indidvidual. except, how can i be unstable if i know i'm unstable....hmm....

this has to do with what sheng propsed some time ago. instead of having NS to defend singapore, we should have some kinda missile silo, possibly on sentosa, since its such a lousy place anyway. and we should ahve a few tactical nuclear options. so if any of our neighbours start feeling bellicose, or downright belligerent, we just launch a nci cruise missile into their capital, followed by a threat of using nuclear arms.

Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) only works if the other side has 1. a chance to retaliate 2. nuclear weapons as well.
well, look around singapore for a moment. indonesia probably cant afford nukes. and besides, after we nuke jakarta, it just break up into ickle island nations.
then malaysia. well they could probably get a nuke. and figure out how to use it, barely. but they're likely to save petrol and use like palm oil instead, so with any luck, they'll hit JB instead. worse come to worse, they'll take out the causeway. then again, if we nuke KL, we get Mahatir's house, and they cant retaliate after that, since the whole country will be in chaos.

well, thats a solution to defence if we ever decide to scrap NS. in economic terms, it might even be cheaper. 2.5 yrs off the working life of every able bodied male is a hell lotta money. and so is they're pay.
as promised, i'm now going to discuss the interesting hair decoration device used by Sophia last Sunday. Its a Christmas tree ornament, i tell ya.....

not actually, i'm gonna discuss murphy's law. you know the one that says, if it can screw up, it will?

basically, there are 2 things i wanna relate. the 1st being weather control through murphy's law, and second, on the literary version of murphy's law.

so on to weather control. taking into account murphy's law, if u keep saying, please dont rain, chances are ur gonna get soaked. hence instead, u should start convicning yerslef u love the rain, that getting wet is good, and any strong sunlight in general is bad for your health. u would probably get home safe then. as a material witness, we have li shengwu, who on the way home from school today, was shouting out 'i love rain', and subsequently got home dry. intriguing....

then there is this thing about words. if the meaning of what u write about can be taken wrongly, it probably will. i'm sure shunjing agrees with me on this. i'll not quote anything he wrote, nor mention anything about it i particular. but its safe to say that, if yer tone, diction (whatever i aint no lit student) can be construed into having some romantic twist or worse still, innuendo, thats probably how ppl will see it.

ahh well, thanskl for tuning in to another episode of crap from the 91st cloud in heaven.
