Say no to being cool say yes to being happy

Performances that need watching:
1) Dances of The Orient 2007 — Elizabeth's performing
2) 20 years, In Song — Mr Yong's performing
3) The Campaign To Confer The Public Service Star On JBJ — Church elder's daughter wrote it
4) Baybeats 07!

Darn, I wanted to watch Ibsen's A Doll's House during the theatre festival but I can never seem to be able to book tickets on time (nor being able to find unreluctant accomplices). Gah. Such is my plight. I wish someone would be able to understand my cultural famine.

I feel obliged to comment on Racial Harmony Day celebrations. I never enjoyed Racial Harmony Day. If they had to make such a fuss over racial cohesion and emphasize it with such zeal and passion, the organic, psychosomatic inculcation of ethnic awareness via experience and sincerity (instead of forcing it down our throats) would be undermined by the rush to stabilize the community for the sake of progress. I find it tragic.

Not wanting to end my night on such a negative note, there's something that has been somewhat interesting now. I'm co-blogging with my sister on Wordpress! I haven't posted anything yet so I'm not linking anything just yet. Basically it's just the amalgamation of our interests, our love for slightly disturbing alt-rock and post-punk lyrics and other random oddities that we sometimes laugh about. It's like eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream, really— chunky, not too cloyingly sweet, and reeking only slightly of pretention.
