Eternal torment: The Search

Wednesday, February 15, 2006

Ok, I WAS going to do a critique of the recent slew of anticipated premieres but later. We've got more pressing issues to bring up. Today's HOT news...The police have announced that they will from now on be our parents. Yup. Not the uber cool ones but the ones who you think need to losen up abit.

Yes. THEY have imposed a "curfew" of 11pm for ALL under 17. (thank god, I'm 17! Wait...that's like three months time!!! ARGH!) WTF!

Yup. They say that they will take down particulars and send letters to your parents if they catch you outside after 11 without your parents or relatives who definately need to be 17 and above. Or else it'll be two for the price of one.

Seriously, don't the policemen have something BETTER to do like patrol carparks and whatnots then to check up on us? I just think it's plain ridiculous. Furthermore, it also highlights the fact that most parents don't trust us. *rolls eyes*

I mean this is SUPPOSED to be your parents/guardian's job! NOT the men in blue.

Why I think it's ridiculous? Ever noticed how concerts, plays, supper with friends often end AFTER 11? Not to mention those midnight screenings and what have you. Sure, Singapore's a city that sleeps but we're progressing towards a 24 hr hub aren't we?

Furthermore, it raises this alarming issue. If you suay suay kena as you're on the way to catch the last bas/mrt ride, will they have the courtesy to bring you home? wait, scratch that. THAT will causes countless problems that may break you.

Kind of like this...

police:"Excuse me, sir/maam..."

Parent:"Yes..."
(sees child and freaks out)
"You worthless fool! You're a shame to us!" OR "Why?! Why you do this to me?!Why you take drugs?!
Police: Erm...no sir/maam...

Parent: WHAT! You rape some poor girl ar?! You no brain! OR Aiyoh, why you go steal?! We never give you money is it!

Police: Sir, maam...your son/daughter was out on the streets after 11pm. We had to bring him/her home because he/she missed the last ride home.

Parent: Oh...

You: (in tears)

Neighbours: (whispers) Aiyoh, see, see...got molester...got rapist...aiyah, I thought what only! Eh, really ar? He got rape girl ar? Aiyoh, cannot let my ah girl go to school alone...

*********

See how ridiculous it will ALL be? It's possible since Singaporeans are generally a kaypoh, kiasu sort of person who will jump to the wrong conclusions quickly. Maybe it's because of the negative conotation associated with being sent home by the man in blue? (if your bf's one, then that's a WHOLE different story...)

But we can't have a one-sided view can we? According to the police, it's because of rising crimes against teens that occur at night. -_- Like it doesn't occur in broad daylight.

It's to keep our teens safe! Don't make me laugh. Chances are, most teens would have ALREADY told their family member/s that they are going out. With cell phones usage on the continual rise, you can just call them up right?

If you're going out, please take care of your valuables. There. If it occurs to you, then you suay lah. Or you did something bad recently. (argh. Karma...you do good and it takes years to reap the benefits. You do something bad, it's almost instantaneous *hey, that rhymes*)

Argh. I'm tempted to start a petition but who the hell cares about petition nowadays?!

So yup. No more late nights. You have been warned. Well, unless we can get every teen to go down to orchard and hold a concert or something that starts at 11...what will they do? Take down everyone's particulars in the name of justice?! Don't make me laugh.

I'm actually thankful I now have another point to add to my list of reasons why I should leave Singapore ASAP. And still trying to save up.

Haiz...Ok. Now as promised. The reviews from a couch potato wannabe.

1) Desperate housewives or DH

The premise of the new season is highly-anticipated and justly so. I'm hooked because of two reasons. I want to know if mediacrop will crop out any justin/andrew parts out. What? You didn't know Andrew's bi? If only they didn't censor last season's part. (which they did so badly btw) you would have gotten a nice scene of the two lovebirds in the pool being found by Susan. Shocked, Andrew quickly stops kissing his bf and says "I'm NOT gay!" And the other scene before he went to military school..."I just happen to like BOTH chocolate and vanilla." (he's bi if you're that blur)
Oh and of course, to see who is the caged man in the basement. Won't peek at the website unless I missed it.

2) CSI season 6

my favourite CSI gang is back. After the horrifying season 5 finale, grave danger, we'll see how it may have affected Nick Sanders. Not to mention see how Catherine and Warrick will proceed. It's freakin obvious that they like each other but Ricky just HAD to get hitched! ARGH!

Oh...and see how Nick and Greg will go on. You know how they say that once you're in love, you practically share a closet? Or something to that extent...Anyways, looks like it ain't just clothes they share (like in season 2 with the fugly brown shirt). This time, it's the HAIR! Those two should just get hitched already! (IRL too. I'm NOT kidding. The evidence is so overwhelming, the slash fans have a hard time compiling it all up! And make cute little icons)

Oh and Sara and Grissom. And not to mention the occasional glimpses of the cute AV tech, Archie. Damn. Where else but in Vegas will you get beautiful people working behind the scenes? Ok, so...NY too. Ha. I'm gonna gloat and gloat because I got to catch season 6 before those without cable! Not to mention, Channel 5's utterly slow. They are still on Miami final season. Not sure if Timmy's death was a good thing or not...there's Ryan Wolfe...Cuter but stupider.

3) Let's see, Lost will be shown soon. I can't wait for AXN's Lost marathons. It's FAR better than Channel's 5 once a week screening. Can't believe Boone's dead. I miss those gorgeous eyes. Admit it! You envy them too!

Yeah...I'm watching tons and tons of tv. I'm getting my brain addled but it's worth it I think. Get cable. You'll thank me later.

Btw, I'll be posting my top 5 best gay anthems (hard though)soon but since V-day is over...

Here's my top 3 most cleverest thing to do AFTER V-day.
1) Go to the gym. All those sinful goodies don't just end up on your kips, they go RIGHT down to your hips. For those with high metabolism, don't worry. Keep feasting. It's a gift so why not use it? I know I do.

2) Water those roses/flowers. They need to live! And they brighten up the room. Or heed your inner Martha. Make potpourri or some frame or whatever. And give it back on the person's birthday or christmas.

3) Start saving. Things aren't cheap you know. You've splurged on others. Now it's time for self-indulgence. Even if you didn't spend anything, just save up. Gap and Banana Republic's opening soon and Topshop will have their own in-house stylist.

I am beautiful no matter what they say...

If I'm ugly, then so are you. So are you...
