rumble mumble gamble gamble

wow. the government has decided to build a casino. 2 casinos actually. and they also decided to call it an integrated resort to give it an air of innocence. that's almost as bad as calling satish a human being. i'm pretty sure they already made the decision a long long time ago. but being a 'democratic' country, of course they had to seek the permission of the masses. i do believe that many people were against it, but as i've said, it was only a feeble attempt to seem democratic when they've already decided to continue.

i was watching the parliment talk on tv last night. and i nearly fell asleep. i wonder how the mps manage to sit through hours and hours of that crap. and they're not even allowed to say things like 'bullshit', which some guy painfully learnt after he was reprimanded and whatnot after a fellow mp sabo-ed him.

anyway, they were showing various mps giving their opinion about the issiue. like how they would have special councellors to help people who are identified as hardcore gamblers. wow, how very kind of them. it's like feeding shit to a person then providing them with a stomach pump for
FREE.

back then, channel news asia sent gurmit singh to genting to interview the people. so what's the point? not as if they would have some fucking incredible tales to tell or anything. the locals would obviously say that casinos are good, since they would be laughed at if they suggested otherwise. gamblers would obviously say that casinos are good, non-gamblers would say no. interview? bah.

"hey hey, let's interview that guy over there!"
"hi sir, how do you feel about the casino?"
"oh the casino sucks. casino is evil. no casino!"
"but you just stepped out of one."
"..."

i love singapore.


found a slug in one of the potted plants outside my house last night. i sprinkled salt on it, thinking it would dissolve. but it didn't, much to my surprise. it just shed it's slime-skin and continued on its way. for some reason, my maid was really freaked out by it, screaming and shouting. in fact, it was she who notified me about it through her screaming.

shedded slime-skin.

interesting though, for she once told me stories of how they would remove leeches with bleach back in philippines. and the slug was not even anywhere near her. guess she lived in comfort for too long. anyway, in her freaked-out state, she gave me a whole tablespoon of salt.

saw the new pope live on tv last night. he is 78-years-old. the last one died at 83. guess his reign won't last too long.
