What Close But Confusing Terms These Are
We will have to examine the terms "colony", "protectorate" and "dominion" all over again. Much like what we have done with the terms "pandemic" and "epidemic".

And oh yes. Let us include people who occupy positions of authority who should leave their cultural and lifestyle dominion at home and home alone.

Don't expect that just because you drink vodka that the rest of us, your humble minions, have to follow your lead just to please you.

Tit For Tat
I fully understand what Oscar Wilde was trying to drive at in his books now.

The world has gotten so superficial and artificial that the only way you can cope is to be just as superficial and artificial. In fact it is the ONLY way.

You are gonna kill yourself if you be otherwise.

It Has Been One Long Wait
You can bet your two knuckles I am pretty much fixed on the kinda enterprise I wanna set up by now. If I were to start an education thingy (which seriously would not be the focus) , it would be real education for the real world. A big if.

I am just waiting out for many things to happen and this is exasperating and I am not exactly in the best of moods these days.

Sorry if I do lash out if you say something not right and totally unreasonable.

I Like Your "Sources" And News Headlines Flashes
It is always some experts or a source or a report. Wonder who this is.

Sometimes it refers to a named source. But is this named source even reliable or impartial or even quote-worthy.

And gosh, doesn't the SV thingy apply to all those flashes of the news headlines? I mean I have come across......"....shut" when it should be "shuts"....and so on

A Little Elaboration Goes A Long Way
Let me explain my stand on the case about David Rasif.

I mean, sure, it is criminal. But hey, look at what that couple were actually doing here. They sound a lot like a pair of corporate raiders, don't they? And they get really rich doing what they do.

And they are not even one of us.

So? Shouldn't they pay their dues? We certainly have, from cradle going on to grave.

Shoot Them Dead
Let me also explain the part about those of us who have one or more "perceived" shortcomings according to this "perfect" world of ours. The "perfect" world according to those who hold the reins of influence, power, money, beauty, brains, brawns and what-have-you (sometimes all rolled into one).

I mean can you imagine putting up all these poor people for a freak show at a media circus?

Patricia Mok, if given a chance, wouldn't have wanted to be a comedian, I am sure. If she had been born beautiful, that is.

What choice does she have? She can't compete with all those beauties up at Caldecott Hill. She turns to comedies and act the role of a freaking ugly.

The same with Kumar, who has to drag for a laugh and for his own keeping. And Hossan is cute but not hunky cute enough to land lead roles like Elvin can right?

How do you feel being up there talking about your sad life and playing up your shortcomings so others can laugh at that? Do you think you really, really, really feel super being put down like that?

I would be devastated.

This Is So Real
I watched parts of the trailer where people on the street (oh there were many foreigners of course among them) were asked if they knew what Gaia was. Answers range from the name of a shopping mall to a kind of theory before one or two people got it right from among the many.

Then "Get Real" touched on co-habitation and the interviewees who were against the idea invariably were concerned about how people thought of them if they co-habited or if they thought it was ok, defended it as throwing out conservatism and keeping in time with the "modern" world.

I am not sure if being "modern" meant this though. Not a single mention of commitment for life if one were to get married instead of just co-habitating (sounds like an easy way out while having fun).

Telling.
