Why Blog???

Just 24 hrs ago, we were talking abt censorship and our [GP] tutor threw us this: Should there be blog censorship by the authorities??? The class did give some interesting viewpoints and personally, I do think tt there should be some form of censorship to some extent...

Frankly speaking, you can't expect the authorities to monitor every single blogs there are on this little red dot... And you can't restrict the words we use... Can you believe what [China]'s doing?! They've this program tt doesn't allow ppl to write words such as 'demoracy', 'freedom', etc... The thought of it is dumb... Imagine if I write this: 'I've lost my freedom due to my parents grounding me'... A pop-up will inform me tt I've used some prohibited words... I'll explode I tell you...

But on the other hand, it's for the sake of national security... Hence like what the little red dot is doing, we have better not write any racist remarks or post any information abt the army, etc... Of course, the little red dot isn't restricting us from writing anything... It's impossible... Hence they're using censorship in another sense, by teaching us to self-censor... Wonderful plan huh...

Tt's just a little something tt's relavant, yet not relavant to occupy space... And before I dwell on the main topic, the mention of the word army reminded me of this... The army sent me another letter informing me tt I've a medical appointment to attend... Isn't tt weird? Thus I called them up to enquire and guess what??? The database didn't have any records tt I've went for my check-up during the [June Hols]... I was shocked when I heard tt... However, after explaining everything to the customer- service lady, I do hope tt the misunderstanding is solved... I'm very determined NOT to go back to [CMPB] on [Tue]... I have something impt to attend to on tt day... *Flash mysterious smile*

Now onto the main topic... Just a few days back, when I was heading home from sch, I was witness to a jaw-dropping event which brings back vivid meories of [XP's] b-day party...However, there isn't any bullying or anything... 2 primary school kids (sch's name is being witheld to protect the interests of the sch... But isn't the sch obvious?!) - I think they're like pri. 3 or 4 perhaps??? - were walking towards the road and schoolboy A was esctatically shouting 'F***!!!', oblivious to everyone who's there... My eyes widen as I heard tt word and as I turned to look @ them, schoolboy B was laughing and told A off in a laughing manner tt he's scolding valgurities...

I was interested to see what's happening next and I wasn't perpared for what I was witness to... As A & B approached the traffic lights, they saw their friend sitting on a rusty railing and decided to yell out to their friend... It's normal isn't it??? Calling out to someone tt you know??? It depends on how you shout...

A & B shouting together: 'Hey C!!! F*** you!!!'
I can't believe they actually shout tt out so loud!!!
C turned and spit on to the grass before replying: 'Wa lao, you scold valgurities, f*** you, cb...'
My jaw got dislocated after tt...

I'm awed @ the conversation tt took place... Are kids so rowdy nowadays??? Is technology to blame??? The rowdy behaviour is totally unacceptable... What is the sch teaching these days??? I'm not gonna blame the parents as I'm positively sure tt their parents are clueless to their kids' odious behaviour... For all I know, those devils could be angels when they're home... Tsk, what kids these days need are lessons tt tells you what's right and what's wrong...

Oh well, I guess tt's abt it... [National Day]'s just around the corner and I'm already in the holiday mood... This can't carry on... I should switch permanently back to the mugging mode and get serious with my work... Perlims' after all, is just a few wks away... Therefore, let's make it formal now... I hereby announce tt the frequency of my updates will be reduced in the near future...

Will end here...

P.S: [National Day]... I have this nostalgic feeling all of a sudden... It's 3 yrs already... Some wounds just can't be healed...
