This fucking Swingabore government
every fucking year
they raise tobacco taxes
in the name of
"discouraging smoking".
All well and good.
You win,
you're the good guy.
I'm trying to quit smoking.
But,
one question Sir,
if the government is trying
to discourage smoking
by imposing high tobacco taxes,
why the hell fuck
is the cost of nicotine gum
TWICE that of cigarettes?
If you really want to
"discourage smoking",
why didn't you subsidse
part of the cost
of giving up smoking,
using the hefty income
you made from
tobacco taxes?
Its so fucking easy
to expose
the fucking money grabbing
greed
of this fucking Swingabore government.
Fucking hippocrites.

So Singapore
won its first
Olympic medal
since 1960.
Big cause for celebration.
Chinese players
wearing a Singaporean shirt.
Sports Minister said
the players maybe
Chinese born and bred
but they are
Singaporean citizens
and they played their hearts out
for Singapore.
Yeah right.
They just happen
to be paid
alot of money
$750,000
to get that medal.
The highest in the world
for an Olympic medal.
They were paid alot of money
to migrate to Singapore
and be Singapore citizens.
They were paid alot of money,
and its all our money.
Tax payers money.
They did not come here
because they love laksa.
They did not come here
because they love doing
national service.
They did not come here
because they want to learn
Singlish.
In fact they do
everything they can,
not to learn Singlish.
The only thing Singaporean
about them,
is their NRIC cards
and they earn tax payers money.
Lots of money.
Why celebrate?
Well, Singapore has for
about 12 years now
been trying to buy
us an Olympic medal.
We finally got
what we paid for
after about 12 years.
Yeah,
big cause for celebration

Old friends
we were once young
naive and innocent.
now we're past middle aged,
past 40,
pushing 50 soon
like a tired old
bulldozer.
when was the last time,
we met?
did you say 15 years ago?
we've put on some weight
our hair is greying
our knees ache
i didn't know.
we shared our life stories
thrills and spills.
how we fell
and how we rose again.
but we always knew
we're still there
to have a laugh.
years apart
but yet
we were so
at ease
with each other.
its like as though
there were no years
in between.
you used to complete
my sentences
when I ran out
of words.
all these years later,
somehow we just knew
what each of us
would say,
even before we began
a sentence.
where are those years guys?
where have they gone to?
we were wild.
we were rebellious
we were angry
we didn't know why.
we thought
we were different.
but now we know
we were just stupid,
at least I was.
those are memories now
distant memories.
but because we remember,
we remain friends
dear to our hearts.
i forgot how
friendship used to be
so innocent.
we had nothing
we could use.
friendship was pure
with no monetary benefit.
networking was not invented
when you were in college.
So lets raise a glass
or two
as we talked
about our dreams
aspirations
failures
successes.
how our lives
diverged
and how we can still
pick up so easily
where we left off.
it made us laugh
it made us cry.
we lost all those years
drifting apart
lets not make
that same mistake
again.
Friends like Us
don't always come by
you realised that.
