Ive always thought that the media of Sg is a tool for propagating the govt's desires. (yeah i do have my skeptic citizen moments too)
ok, i'll loosely associate the govt to public service.
but NOOOO...

Apparently, if you have read the full report on todays TNP front page news. this celine gal of a reporter apparently proved herself worthy to join the kopitiam ah-pehs' group of self-gratifying-lamentations-of-the-government-support-network.
It amazes me how a reporter, good enough to post a front page story, fails to get her facts right. how she willingly descends to the kopitiam-pehs' skewed perspective.
This is a court case. The magistrate has already passed the judgement.
So Ms TNP reporter thinks she has a way to tell the world that her judgement is better?
or rather, seow-guy was the victimised little angel!!
had she went through the appropriate channel, (No, Ms TNP. not by just approaching anybody in the courtroom to ask for comments), she would have known that
- this seow-guy had caused obstructions to his neighbours, who sought help from the regulatory authority
- this seow-guy has time and again appealed, but due to his gungho-thrill-seeking nature, refused to comply with any instructions about his offences
- he claims to want to seek redress in court, but ball-less-ly crawls to his MP right before the court date, to make the entire department adjourn his court date for close to 10 times.
- when his case was fixed for mention, he claimed trial. Applause for that heroic act. HERO LEH... he challenged authority leh!! he dare to stand up for rights lehhh... but when the trial date arrives, everyone was prepared and waiting in the court, HE FAILED TO SHOW UP.
duh! this guy has a warrant of arrest against him because he even disrespected a court mention enough to abscond.
Has this guy no MALICE?
And You, Ms TNP, to portray him victimised by regulations, when all he showed was blatant disregard of laws and to others?!
Go splash ur face with water, and quit

+tork cork+
I was kinda amused, but upon digestion, disgusted...
well over the last week, Lau Ban(the male one super worthy of respect) made me stay back after a meeting for a private talk
(anyway I am getting this kind of special attention nowadays, first it was that calling up to the "gord" (i dun even want to spell it that way)'s office for a nice lil chat. thought was nothing, den i had my national day holiday screwed by paranoidy Sibico telling me to beware of everyone now that i got the gord's special attention, even officers working here for 6 years higher level than i am dont get such meetings blablabla.. dont trust even those closest to you blablba)
anyway Lau Ban was super pleased with my event, one who all fear and never hesitate to painfully admonish if neccessary, was full of praises.
Anyway those were earned, im proud of it, really. to me, even the directors' opinions did not matter as much as his
well, back to the private conversation, he asked me if Dan and I were serious, and proceeded to tell me how his concern is that in the worst case scenario that things do not work out, everything will sour and all
what am i to say right. I can only promise i will do my best not to let anything affect my work
after that it was my first appraisal with him. the master of the pen-knife actually told me i can write! which was a huge huge compliment because he has personnally penned letters to the worst kind of high impact appellants, making them crawl into a hole and die.
ya and other stuff too.. basically i was just relieved to hear that he has no complaints about me
ok fair enough. coming from him. a normal person who cared about human relationships enough to have a wife and family. a person without lopsided cut of left-shoulder-length-braided, right-cropped-above-the-ear hairstyle matched with a bindi on the forehead
THEN today, paranoidy Sibico, weird female who swore death by maggots over marraige, suans people back from heart operations, a person actually WITH lopsided cut of left-shoulder-length-braided, right-cropped-above-the-ear hairstyle matched with a bindi on the forehead, breaks down from her months of denial and asked me into the room to tell me, in a speedy-stressed-flustered manner, after Dan and I submitted leave together in order to attend his grandma's bday dinner
(avoiding my eyes, hands waving )"I KNOW ABOUT YOU AND DANNY LA. ACTUALLY, I KNEW ABOUT IT LONG AGO"
to which i replied, deadpanned
"I KNOW YOU KNOW. "
she then proceeded to reject our request for leave because of quality assessment. then in a sneering manner asked
"You guys serious or not?! not serious dont need to go n meet his family rite?!"
Disgusting...
I gave her diplomatic, non-committing answers.
People at work, even my superiors, need not know so much.
I know what I want
I know what is a blessing. on the other hand, does she?
If she would take a moment to shed her hatred for so many things, she probably would understand
sigh
