A Boxing Day message from The Associate, who refuses to upgrade to the new Blogger because he's lazy:


Wah lao starhub has the most fucked up service conceivable. Wait 1.5hrs before anyone answers. Cannot fix date of cancellation. Cannot change correspondence address. Stupid service person cannot even tell me how/if/when my deposit will be refunded. This is the price consumers pay for being captive consumers to an economically efficienty, monopolistic economy-of-scale service provider!!!!

No other service provider (IRAS, SP Power, Singtel, Prudential, etc) gave me this kind of hassle!


Which of these do you think is an ideal Sithmas gift?

· A double bladed lightsaber
· Absolute power over the Galaxy
· Force lightning lessons
· A Gift Certificate for a Force Choke of your Enemy
· An Imperial cruiser
· A Death Star
· A modified TIE fighter


why i treat jiekai the way i do:

"...indiscriminate compassion weakens the benefactors by disallowing them the mental and physical enrichment that life's challenges inherently procure. Ultimately, such compassion thus weakens the very people it is intended to help, cheapening their experience and leaving them more ill-prepared for dealing with things on their own."


Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it

"It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it."
