YOU. are just too lame.

HO HO HO!!! Santa Claws is back once again. With newly manicured nails (frenchie!!!) that are capable of winning a scratch-fest against a cat but sadly VERY handicapped in typing. My fingernails, long but pretty, no less, have made me an imbecile. A total imbecile.

There've been so many things i've been dying to blog about but unfortunately, due to a certain subject called CSA- Computer Screws Arses which has tested my patience with a certain web page designing project using a programme called Macromedia Nightmareweavers, I haven't had the time, nor the energy to blog, though i was on the comp every single maddening day, almost 8 hours each time.

Now that my nightmares are over and i've received due payment for my services i finally have a little spare time left over for me to blog. Awww... my loyal fans must have been dissapointed in the past week.

"What has happened to Pei Lin, our dear Blog Queen? Oh! she has stopped blogging again! Oh no! Woe is us! We are useless without her insightful and entertaining blog entries! Life is meaningless..."

Yes yes, don't worry, i have not gone on a hiatus.

Talking about Blogsphere's royalty, i do wonder, or rather, i let my imagination run wild and i think, will i ever become famous from blogging, and what are the consequences? I don't wanna be famous because i get flamed all the time due to the content of my entries. I don't wanna be famous because i posted my bare essentials on the World Wide Web. Neither do i wanna be a famous blogger due to the fact that i don't actually blog, but photolog and the only words on my blog are captions.

I wonder how those so-called FAMOUS blogs, get famous in the first place?

After reading some blogs which people proclaim are FAMOUS, i honestly don't see anything worthy of being noticed. True, they might write well and all, but there is really nothing that really interests me when i read them. I don't exactly know how to describe what they write, but it just plain doesnt seem interesting at all! (Sounds frustrating, yes i know.)

And, have you noticed? Bloggers, or rather the FAMOUS ones, more often that not, have gargantuan egos. Does it take an egoistic, narcissistic bitch/bastard to be a good, oh no excuse me, i mean FAMOUS blogger? I really don't know. But it sure seems like it to me.

I like to blog-surf. I like to read blogs that are written by good natured yet funny people. I don't like to read blogs that are filled with "You might hate me, but too bad."s and "You are my reader therefore i'm better than you and you better not ask anything from me you stupid loser."s.

In the first place, don't tell me you blog to read it yourself? Don't tell me you are perfectly contented with spending all that time and effort blogging without anyone besides yourself reading it?

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. not at all.

Perhaps i don't see it from THEIR point of view. I guess it's true that THEIR every word and every move is scrutinized over the web with anyone and everyone reading it and it's not easy to be tolerant with readers who flame you for no fucking reason just because they misunderstood what you meant. And i guess it's really impossible to make everyone happy.

You know the age old argument "If you don't like me, don't read my blog la!" ?

I'm shocked people are still using it. Don't you know, people like to hate, people need an object/character to put on a pedestal of hatred. People NEED to hate. There's is no point telling your flamers to STOP reading your blog if they hate you so much. There is no point getting worked up about people who flame you as they hide behind the safety of their computer screen. And i don't get why people swear they wouldn't get angry because of flamers and still do in the end.

I thought stupid people can say what stupid things they want?

I guess THEY still care.

Enough about blogging. Let's talk about the world of Meritocracy. Since Singapore's 40th Birthday is coming i guess it's only right for me to blog about it like for ONCE. In fact, what i want to blog about doesn't really have much to do with National Day, it's just that all that NE has really gotten to my head and i want to say something about this thing called Meritocracy, or rather, the non-existance of it.

You know how every year when the O Levels' results are out and how all the RGS RI HWA CHONG-ians get to go on tv and flash their geeky faces for once in their sad life time due to the fact that they get like what 9 As or 10As or whatnot. Ya. Now do you notice that there is such a thing called a MALAY SCHOLAR and an INDIAN SCHOLAR, but no such thing as a CHINESE SCHOLAR?????

If racial harmony was a person, he would have slashed his wrists.

You see how hypocritical the whole system is?

What happened to equality of all races? What does it mean when you have to point out that particular scholar is a MALAY SCHOLAR? What exactly does that mean?

Are you trying to say that you must categorise because the races cannot compete with each other equally and fairly? Is this what all that NE nonsense has come down to? Is this what you call Meritocracy, that you reward certain people due to their races? What if a Malay or Indian Scholar gets 7As and I'm Chinese and i get 7As but i don't get to flash my geeky face on television just because i'm Chinese and the Chinese Scholar, who is just called THE Scholar, scored 10As?

I don't know why nobody questioned the system before, but then again, I shouldn't be too surprised. How many Singaporeans question anyway. Those that do get put behind bars or sued till they have no money to pay for defamation and have to volunteer to put themselves behind bars all the same.

So much for Happy Birthday Singapore.

Incidentally, I fucking hate people who speak Mandarin or their mother tongue in front of friends of other races, but mostly its the Chinese who do that. HELLLO? They don't understand what the fuck you are saying so speak in English can? Can you imagine if you go to France and everyone fuck cares that you cannot understand French and they don't even make and effort to notice that and someone says a joke and everyone's lauging and all you are left wondering is: Are they laughing at me?

Would YOU like that? Too many people i know don't even notice it when they do it. It's so particularly selfish and insensitive and unkind and yet no one really bothers to make an effort. People, it's time to wake up. Before our country turns officially to an AUNTIE, can we stop pushing this SHIT called Racial Harmony, claiming that we actually practice it and teach it in schools, and yet still go ahead to announce everything in Mandarin as if this is CHINA.

STOP making the stupid National Day theme song in Mandarin la. The English version is enough. If Taufik doesn't get a chance to sing it in Malay, why should Rui En get to sing it in Mandarin?
