I think these flash mobs are the ones who spices up singapore mundane life, especially for kids who couldnt go to pubs and with limited cash on hand. In a way these promoted arts too for these are dances just like other ballroom dances. It's not that hey are too free, they're too bored or streesed with their livestyle, so flash mob is something to paint some colours to their lives, it even involves teamspirit in it!

STOMPers have no life I agree, to blog hop on blogs that was suppose to be personal diaries to users. Thus I would not touch on these immoral acts and stuffs, hopeful they would realize their foolish behavior and compensate the restaurant for giving them a new experience. Its rather okay for the experience of it but please fix it up after the moment of bliss or accomplishment or whatever they felt after doing so. Anyway what I wanna touch on is the waiter that said 'have a nice day' after the chaos they had caused. This pleases me as I can see services in singapore had improved. I can still remember long time ago there was this aurora of hatred and irritant in sim lim where a question more would offend them somehow and they would be pissed. This jan im glad that these had dissipated to only few areas but generally the staffs are kind and helpful to tend to all my inquiries.

Last is ofcoz the Rony Tan mocks of other religion. These evangelical pastors made me think twice of christianity. True enough I have heard of christians believing that their god is alive and not staues. These angers me really, just like how the argued the necessity of temples if god could be anywhere. The statues doesnt substitute their gods, but a symbol of god, for them to worship with a clear picture of the reverence they are praying to. And any scientist could also rebut that air is anywhere yet we needed fan to feel it. I rather pity them for harboring hypocrisy in such wonderful religion. It is one of the biggest religion that has a bible to reach out to all ages, and comprehensible stories and guides to being a human. The worst is, he got away in all punishments just with a statement of apology, which triggers questions like 'how is he different than other offenders?'. Others would serve jail terms and such, why not him?

The term 'religion', in my point of view, had faded of its original purpose. Why dont sg has a subject call 'religion' like how indo have it as 'agama'. And this is regarded as a vital subject to pass. No matter what you believe in, religion helps to keep people to act humanly. Though when that happens, freethinkers like myself wouldnt be thinking this way now:

wouldnt think that the world is just simply balanced, with certain number of good and bad, life and death, pretty and ugly, it reflects tao, just as a medium once said, 'tao' is the true religion. something like that not very sure. It all makes sense to me, so there is a fix infrastructure to our life, just that the details could be altered and the 'elimination round' could be eased by good deeds. Just like taiji tuishou, after exerting force to certain extend, you should start to hear the opponent's moves, them when pressure is too much, know how to reflect it away and turn the table around. The way to do that is obviously optimism.

Again after so much posts... whats my purpose here on earth? maybe its better that i know it first so i could prepare for it, to not disappoint anyone or regret being too weak to help. at least then i know what exactly to do and to not fear and think so much.
