Submitted to using english to write yet another entry. Reality always triumphs over idealism. That's why you still see heads of companies being westerners who draw an expatriate salary that is probably a few times that of a normal Singaporean worker with the same skill and capability, except the coloured retina and hair. That's why you hear that the the U.S has the last say, maybe even the entire liberty to call the shots. That's why there are rumours that the remaining superpower in this world is plotting a scheme to egg China and Taiwan into launching a civil war by 2008... Talk about being ambitious, it seems that westerners have always inherited the genes of being greedy and having an insatiable lust for power and wealth. Not even Superman can save the world now. But then Superman saves America only right? And aint Spiderman forever swinging about the towers and buildings in Manhattan alone?

Shall self-restrain myself before I turn into a fully-fledged nationalist. Seems to me that there are things happening around me that cannot escape my attention. Yet there is so little I can do, provided I have the time and the chance, which in all modesty, I lack. Sad but that's the truth. Maybe I sound jaded, having painted the world in such dark colours. But then, I am slowly changing my colour scheme from black to grey. Who knows, maybe it will be a spectrum of flamboyant rainbow colours. Just the thought of that puts me off.
