Well, was reading this article just now and I felt the urge to put it up cuz (haha!) appealing to my ego, it echoes a sentiment I have wondered about alot. I mean, I can already think of a whole host of problems that would come from this but its quite a novel idea.Considering that most of my friends' blogs have sentiments about the elections, the fact that Billy Bombers has put up this 'mock' election booth, the extnnsive coverage by CNA shows how much Singaporeans alone feel the pressure of the elections. US chose to make its domestic affairs, the world's affair when it took the reins to handle European reconstruction and chose to "fight" communism in 1945. America's stance has always affected the world , either as a Cold War Power or as the sole power that has remained in the aftermath of the collapse of communism, so isn't just right for us to decide who we want as the "global" leader? After all, US is just not America's leader but to an extent, the precedent for the world (though that has increasingly becoming less evident).

But of course, there is the problem of how exactly the votes are going to be distributed, who is going to distribute it? The US because it is, after all , its presidential elections or UN, because it is now, after all a global event. Then again no matter who gives it ,someone would feel short changed. And who's gonna make sure the votes aren't rigged?

Making this a global event would also then give more scope for the dissidents to target countries with policies they abhor. More scope for terrorist attacks, (hey you voted BUSH! BASTARD! BOMB HIM!) and perhaps, the world would not be divided as famously "You're either with us or against us" but rather "You're either with me or against me" so it might no longer be a case of a division of US allies and enemies (arbitarily, at any rate) but rather (taking this election as a basis) Bush vs Kerry.

But then of course, this voting system is tantamount to giving US supra national power as when the world collectively votes on issues, it is usually at a global forum with global consensus. So by the very idea that the world needs to have a say in US domestic affairs, shows that not only is she important in world affairs, she is looked to be as a leader. And a globally consented leader means he can manipulate policies and take action with more authority on what he deems fit because he had global mandate behind him (Not there won't be international backlash but the propensity would be lessened because its not so easy to condemn someone when you had a say in electing him). That effectively means placing all that power in one man's hand.

And I don't think we're just about ready for that.

surreal chronicles

Ack. just felt like posting so I could admire it on my blog skin
hehe
the space bar isn't working and if I don't apply enough force itlookslikethis. I have to depress it with both my thumbs

talk about a thumb workout.haha
hmm.. ya.

well useless information.
Did you know..
that King Croesus created the first currency system in the world
that during the French Rev, a new calenderwas proclaimed and It started on the 22nd September
There was also 2 other religions proclaimed in place of Christianity-one was by Robspierre whose "god" was known as the Supreme Being(duh right?) and the other was during 1795-1799 when the Directory was ruling and it was called theophilanthrophy. cool huh?
(I'm doing history revision as you can see..haha)
a lot of people are born in september
that everyone's voice is different just like ur fingerprint
and that 3 days grace is one of the best bands in the world

True Love Lasts forever

decided to commemorate my love with a new skin
Isn't Adam Levine dishy?

plus it meant loads of studying NOT done

okay. consciously telling yourself not to do things doesn't work.
well, nothing much has happened actually. but let me just articulate thoughts

Went for the SPH written test yesterday. Think I blew it but am okay. My essay on sportsmanship sounded like I was having a casual conversation and I used way too much liquid paper which would, then reflect the number of mistakes I made and consequently the lack of logic and coherence present in my thoughts and it was explictly emblazoned on the front of the test paper (which looked like an improved version of the perfect TJ GP paper which of course, every TJ GP teacher dreams of) that LOGIC, COHERENCE, CRITICAL AND ANALYTICAL SKILLS WOULD BE TESTED IN THIS PAPER.
Case in Point - I said that David Beckham's confession(albeit unintelligent [this was originally 'albeit stupid' but I LIQUID-ED it because I didn't think the Gods up there would favour that])

But I really didn't care for the way the test was formatted. I thought scholarship required creativity. The only creativity shown in the whole damnned test was this part where they asked you to come up with a title less than 6 words both creative and accurate. I mean, you could have given more creative questions even if they were focussed almost completely on Singapore. But then again, I'm not exactly the best person to critique.. am I?

hmm.. lot more to say.. actually farewell, this amazing book called the 7 percent solution which tells you the Sherlock Holmes was never killed by Professor Moriarty and that he was actually battling a cocaine addiction while postponing WW1 and gives credence to the idea that he was not actually ficticious but that Arthur Conan Doyle was just protecting his confidence. but this was basically a one-off bitching session so I will save the fun and laughter until After the A's.. which is approximately in 1 week

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH~

until then

ok i'm a compulsive lier (the spelling looks wrong but the point of communication is that you get what I mean. which I think you did)
and anyway, I feel that the more the presure piles up, the more there is pathos in life.
so why deny it eh?

anyway, i've realised that blogs do not actually serve to keep up with your friends's lives but to realise how increasingly you're not part of it such that you are no longer a constant. It tell you how much you're missing out in their lives and serves to remind you that you should make an effort to be part of it

sighs.

If ur looking for a digicam, get Canon powershot a400! it rocks. i just kept stroking my ego by talking pictures of myself and my room.hehe :)

Ok I promise. This will be the last time I blog b4 my A's.
started studying yesterday. very very slow. Urgh. My dad says its just a matter of willpower. You should study do much that you don't think of anything but studies. Never have reached that level.Really. Its unthhinkable but sometimes I wish I ahd that drive instead of aimlessly drifting. Sure, its fun but urgh.

Have been incoherent the whole day. Start saying something and I drift off half way. Brenda asserted its because I have no brains. Hmm. I was coherent yesterday so this is wad must have happened today this morning



my brains must have fallen out while I wasn't looking (TJ can do that to you)
haha. Lame.

And I thought long and hard yesterday and came to some conclusions.
Thinking is nice for the soul but I hate the fact that there are no answers.

ok off to be a non-blogger, lame or not.

kissed the sun and burnt her tongue

that is my quote. a la vasudha original So to infiltrators(read GAU) who want to pirate it, you cant (*THPTHHHHHHHHH* GAU take that!) and pass it off as your own, in extreme violation of IP rights (obviously GAU, staying in aussie hasn't exposed you to HIP (human and intellectual property), the s'pore branch~Piracy is stealing too!)

so ha! you can't touch this!
