The Eclectic

To the Singapore massive:

Forgive me if I’ve done wrong, been an irritant, been unholy or uncouth.

and continue to have fun for the rest of this happy month!

and this is a bit late but:

Selamat HARI RAYA!

MC! so i’m up to the usual.

La Roux:

Gosh I love her hair.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs:

YEAH YEAH YEAHS with a slightly different sound.. but i still like ‘em.

Will be moving to tumblr soon…

Every Ramadan, there is sure to be a front page article about young Malay NSFs who pass away in motorcycle accidents. This Ramadan I wasn’t spared, as I read how another son of Singapore lost his life, the details of the set of “baju kurung” to be worn on Hari Raya that was bought by his mom.

Of course, what followed was my mom’s stern stare that suggested that hell would rain on me if I ever dare to chase my dream of riding a Vespa scooter.

Not to mention a lecture by dear dad about how he’d prefer me to die. Clue: as God’s humble and pious servant.

If I were to die in the next few months, I hope to die in the deserts of America whilst on my overseas Ex. as a humble Battery Quatermaster Sergeant and fly home on a Charlie 130 in a wooden casket with the Singapore flag and a Quran on top and be buried 6 feet deep in the very soil I was born.

On tombstone:
“He stood out amongst the rest not because of his strength, wealth nor knowledge. He just took up half the 6inch photograph!”

“Cynical to the death.”

“Do not come within 5m radius of this grave if you do not know the pledge or do not speak Singaporean.”

OK I’m being insensitive to the thought. I dread to die too, but hey, we all want to go off with a bang

Falstaff, a famous Shakespeare character, once set the value of honour to a dead soldier as nothing but a decoration that wouldn’t matter to the departed.

to me, honour is nothing

and everything.
