Toopid Blogsome server was down, so I had to leave this post to today.

I don’t like the radio. I always believed that the radio is the ultimate form of modern propaganda. I love music and to let someone else define what music you should listen to and FORCE it down your ears just doesn’t make sense to me. Apart from the general feeling that I get that Singaporean radio stations play disastrous music (or what some like to call, radio-friendly [read: euphemism] ), it also appears to me that Singaporean deejays talk rot most of the time. I guess they admit they talk rot also, because of the apt names they give their shows. That rot is PROPAGANDA (because there are tons of idiots out there who actually worship those deejays)!!!!!

This observation stems from my blunder of forgetting to bring my new cd along to the car (after dumbly removing the old one yesterday). So I was forced to listen to the radio. And I had to endure some pathetic chattering (termed discussion) about how two guys in a supermarket doing grocery shopping may be perceived as being gay.

• First of all, who the fuck cares or should care if two guys are doing grocery shopping together?
• Second of all, so what if they’re gay? You think gay people don’t need to do grocery shopping is it? You think gay people don’t need to eat right?
• Third of all, you got nothing better to do or talk about right? Play some good music damnit.

The above obvious frustration also lies in reading a reported article.

The article reported that a certain community group (the liberty league) was given a government grant (which means using taxpayers’ funds) to help Singaporeans “understand their sexual identity” and promote ‘healthy gender identity”. What those phrases mean, erm I really can’t tell. To be fair, the article reported that Liberty league does in fact “champion human rights”, which should mean that they’re not against homosexuals. Interestingly, Fridae reported in a separate article that Liberty league “is an advocate of reparative therapy and is linked to an international Christian group which dedicates itself to “correcting” homosexuality”. Now that’s where the issue therein lies.

If the grant is used by a group to tell homosexuals what their “correct” sexual orientation should be, then taxpayers’ funds are being used wrongly. Having had to deal with rejections of using public funds for community service projects previously, whatdafish, can you imagine how angry I am? People with legitimate concerns and ideas are being given the pass over people who have hidden agendas? If that article is indeed true, I’ll be seriously very pissed.

[Redundant last paragraph.] Also, I honestly think that there should be a regulatory and monitoring body for grants given out for community service projects, preferrably run by CPAs only. More audit work, more audit fees, more jobs And of course, more power for CPAs. I got very concerned after my prof said that more monitoring bodies are being run by non-CPAs. Not good, not good at all…

[Update:] Osama Bin Laden releases new audio tape. [full text link]

So scary. It seems Osama is very well read and has done a lot of research. I’m wondering how come he has access to some much information from his cave in Afghanistan. Well, at least that’s what the media would like you to believe, that he’s hiding in a cave. In reality, he’s most probably “hiding” in a nice palace with lots of servants in Pakistan, fully courtesy of Musharraf. One day, maybe just one day, the world will realise what fools they all are, because Musharraf will prove himself to be a smart genius who’s made a fool out of YOU and the rest of the world.

Sigh.Sigh.Sigh.

And I have too much time on my hands to go “make up” conspiracy theories right? We’ll see…
