Finally the art is here

Are they for real. It looks so easy.

Take a look at Richard, not being mean or anything, but kissing a girl like this. You must be kidding. Anyway, Richard happens to be my favorite geek for "Beauty and the Geek" Season 1. Oh, just so happen that I love Mindi too :) Her beauty isn't just skin deep, beyond her skin she is quite intellectual and composed. Is this world fair? Is smart and beautiful even legal together?

I am totally hook onto reality TV. Those who know me, knew. Survivor, Hell Kitchen, Amazing Race, Fear Factor, Beauty and the Geek. I mean my point is I am really into reality TV. So what so compelling for me to RTV. Okie. Just like what you can't get in your own reality, you would like to see others have it in their reality. So that it reminds us, life is not so damn hopeless. When I can point my finger at someone and say: "See, Richard that freak gets to make out with Mindi. So why not me?"

These little hopes keep life burning.

No U-turn syndrome (NUTS)

October 22, 2010

No U-turn syndrome (NUTS) is coined by Sim Wang Hoo, director of Creative, to mock the conservative behavior of the people in Singapore. A common social behavior to seek for approval to higher authority prior to any action taken. No U-turn Syndrome uses traffic system in Singapore with comparison with other country to illustrate this phenomenon. Both systems serve the same purpose albeit in a different approach. However the social repercussion is significant.

In Singapore: Drivers are not allow to make a U-turn unless a sign specifically allows them to so.

Oversea: You CAN U-turn freely along the road, which you deem safe to do so as long as "No U-turn sign" is not present.

The "No U-turn Syndrome" permeates into the life of every citizen including our parent, which drove down this concept into our brain as little as we are 4 years old. Our lifestyle and decision since young were rule based. If there is no rule for you to do, then it’s NO DO.

In his articles, he further elaborate that we were nurtured to be easily manipulated so that foreign MNC would be attracted to establish their sub base in Singapore. They came in, set a rule and system from oversea headquarter and all our citizens were always ready to comply. No question asked.

And due to the rigidness of our country's educational system and culture, everyone had to follow other people's paths. If everyone has a degree, then we have to get a certificate even if it means giving up our integrity, passion, lifestyle, dream and creativity.
