penn

i went up to penn about 2 weeks ago, when morris came over for spring break. not many fotos to show, but i did get to meet up with Fr*nc*s S**w. For those asking why i'm asterisking his name, its cos i don't want to be marked by the G*hm*n for talking about this. For those of you who don't know, Mr.Seow is self-exiled, was a civil servant, and wrote books about Sg politics and was duly imprisoned by the ISD and stuff, i dont think i need to say more.


I also got to meet singaporean filmmakers Djinn and the husband n wife duo Colin Goh and Woo Yen Yen of Singapore Dreaming fame, as well as of the Talking Cock ppls.


it was great hearing about Sg and politics, both from the political sense and from the filmmakers points of view.

I used to think i was politically apathetic, but then i realised that i got worked up everytime people talked about politics and singpore. so if you get worked up and you have an opinion, you're not apathetic. from this reasoning, i don't think singaporeans are really all apathetic. we're just inactive because we all know action provokes a reaction (usually a lawsuit or unlawful abduction by the isd).

i'd really love to blog more but its 4am and i don't want to open this can of worms, lest my blog get banned or i end up self-exiled too.

so to end, thanks to nikolaus for being a fantastic host when i was in penn, and it was great meeting up with shengquan and zhonglei and carlson too.

there was also this nice musical by the ac-penn yap brothers, about college and stuff which featured great music and a fantastic plot. acting was soso but then, we're not all thespians, are we?

great times, great life
