Done and DONE

2nd Season
My posts awhile back are quite rage-y and hate-fueled. I put this on my lack of sleep. But its mostly my nature of being a grouchy irritable guy.

Anyways, here's a restart, why?

Because I believe we in Singapore have a identity, a culture, a lifestyle. It is very derivatives, mostly from western culture (more on the culture thing later), but I hope to take the best or preferred choice for me. Sometimes I tend to do things just for the heck of it.

Somethings will be oddly racist, stereotypes exists like smoke with fire. (I personally have good friends of all races, we make jokes about each others race with respect and FOR HUMOUR ONLY)

Not hateful but I'm born bred Singaporean, I don't like it when I turn on the TV (which I hardly watch due to bad programming), some foreigner professor in local Universities will talk about Singapore. The worse is when they speak out unfavourably, or worse when they talk about sensitive subjects and when people watch it, they think these foreigners represent our views as a country.


When we watch TV, don't we tend to scoff more than agree? That's a bad sign.


Singapore Culture???
Do we really have a culture as Singaporeans?

Whatever culture means on Oxford dictionary, culture to me means whenever someone says, "That is so Singaporean", "typical Singaporean".

We derive our culture from many other cultures, it is no shame in that, it is how culture starts. Look up the origins of Christmas on google. We should extract the best or preferred ways, fuse it with a bit of Singapore flavour and we are good to go. Over time, we shall explore more on this.

People say we are a young nation, we do not have any culture or history. Damn right we don't! Neither do we have the plague or all the bad things that happen in history. We do not have the history...YET! We are literally history in the making, we all are. People who brag about their history tend to behave as if they worked hard for it or choose it. They are born into it. Nothing to be proud about. Taking pride in something and being proud about it is completely different things.


Anyhow, lets get going.
