we all scream for ice cream
less angst today... I am not really big on vengence though sometimes it feels like the right way to go. Wouldn't make for a fun world though, all this killing and unkilling, the real danger also is that you never know if you're the one being the asshole.
So I went and made some ice cream today. Not too bad for a first time effort if I say so myself. Don't ask me how, but somehow the conversation went from what flavour to the need for an alternative voice in the press.
We live pretty much on stories, markets move on them, we base our lives around them. And sometimes I just wonder what it might be like with more than one storyteller. I am no perenially dissatisfied Singaporean, but sometimes I do wonder about the flip side of things; like how on the way back from the city I now have to endure another ERP gantry while still being caught in a dumb jam. Like how our government has 2 interesting objectives in relation to my quandary...
1) Help all Singaporeans achieve the dream of car ownership
2) Reduce road congestion
hmm.... interesting.... these objectives taken to their logical conclusion scares me... seriously, what is so logical about buying a car and leaving it at home? Yet it is this our society must aspire to. Typically Singaporean maybe, half fuck for everything. Enjoy yourselves but not too much yeah.
