terrorism is 10 percent bang and 90 percent an echo effect composed of media hysteria, political overkill and kneejerk executive action. while we take ever more extravagant steps to ward off the bangs, we do the opposite with the terrorist aftershock. we turn up its volume. this more than validates terrorism as a weapon of war - it glorifies it. the best way to commemorate 9/11 is with silence - Simon Jenkins,
The guardian.
today, you think 5 years back about the terror the involved 9/11 victims had to go through. you think about how their loved ones will go on with life and how the world will react with immense agitation. but have you ever wonder how the terrorists will feel about all the attention they're getting from all the media response and the reaction from the individuals.? they're probably smirking like a glutton kid who have just stolen 5 candies, and who knows, one of them might be reading this. yes, we should commemorate 9/11 with utter silence, and the most practical way of doing so is probably through prayer. say a little short prayer for 2 minutes even if you sulk when the word, "god" is mentioned and bless these innocent souls. YES, they'll check if you've prayed for them, so you better do it.!
on a lighter note, we all returned to school today. this marks the beginning of a mad studying frenzy in light of the upcoming final year examinations and the O levels next year. 10 years of education for this one examination. so much for a good education system in singapore.
and yes, did i mention i'm writing in to MOE to request for a holiday this wednesday so that everybody can sit back and relax and watch the finale of rockstar supernova.? just kidding, but i'll try feigning ill and skip school. notify me if you want live and immediate results from the show. i seriously cannot wait.! any 4 of the remaining contestants signing for supernova will not amaze or make me want to puke because all 4 of them are so competitive and up-to-standard. supernova's gonna have a very very hard time choosing their singer.
the end.
