The downfall of homosexuality and transversites

I have valid reasons to believe that people with homophobia or transversite phobia should suppress their opinions, just so that they will have no fear in the future.

Personally, I have nothing against homosexuals and transversites. In fact, I believe that they are compelled into this undesired mode of sexuality due to their genetic make-up. And it is also unfortunately, due to this inheritance hypothesis (it has not been fully proven to be purely due to genetics), that I believe that they might be forced into extinction.


Darwin's theory of evolution implies the survival of the fittest. For the non-Biology students, the fittest refers to those with a high reproductive rate. Singaporeans are the weakest human kind after HK, if you believe wikipedia. It makes sense, because the more offsprings you have, the higher chance you have to propagate your genes.


So if we shift our attention to our so-called "sexually disoriented" friends, you do realise that they are by far the weakest of the weakest of the weakest mankind, since they do not have offsprings and thus, cannot pass on their "homosexual/transversite genes".


So why are they still existing? That is because of the social stigma they faced. You conservationists out there have forced these poor souls to stay in the closet, to marry the opposite sex and to HAVE CHILDREN. So these genes were passed down since Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep, multiplying with the burst of population number.


However, the landscape have pretty much changed, with pride parades, sex reassignment operations and legalisation of gay marriages. These changes may have brought transient happiness to the couples involved, but it is a catastrophe in making for this minority: they will have no offsprings to colonise the world. Then again, after all the shit these guys have been through, perhaps they would think that it is better that way.


Therefore, if you are one of those who hate homosexuals and transversites, contain your hatred. You will be doing yourself a service. (I hope you die from cardiac arrest from internalising too much anger.)

Year 3

Sorry for the hiatus. I have been back for 1.5 weeks and it's been crazily busy. Only myself to blame though.


First, there was my room to settle into. I have a tiny room this year, compared to my mega-big double room last year. Any girl would understand my pain. It is impossible to stuff everything into my room. I am sure Oxfam would be very happy with my contributions (which are still lying in my living room).


A picture from the corner of my room. Pictures taken from corners are meant to give the illusion of increased size. Keep that in mind when you see this picture! The thing on the left is my wardrobe. (Notice my books on my bed. One of them is Harry Potter:P And if Joan ever reads this, that is your headphones on my table!!! Come collect it please!!!)







Then there were friends to catch up with. And when I said friends, I meant both people whom I only meet in London and the Singaporeans. Although the Singaporeans and I were both back in Singapore, I was MIA-ing most of the time. So they are part of my term-time friends. Some of the catch-up was done over eardrums-bursting loud music at clubs though, that is to say we hardly caught up, so I would think more time is needed for proper updates.


Speaking of which, I think one of the reasons I am so busy is because I am busy catching up on my sleep. Went clubbing twice in the space of 5 days and will be going again on Friday. Now now... Technically it replaces gym time, so I really shouldn't complain...


And of course, there is SCHOOL!!!! Horrible timetable this year. Just when I was soooo looking forward to school because I thought I would have a slack timetable!!!! And the contents this year are probably meant to squeeze 100 years of science into a 5 weeks course. I had major plans of going to the gym everyday, but those plans are at the back of my closet when I saw my timetable. I guess it would be back to 5 times a week:(


Added on all these, I am excited to say, is a weekly session of pole dancing!!! YES!!! I have managed to sign myself up for some kick-ass lessons to fulfill all my dreams. Next up might just be skateboarding. I know, I am kind of too old. But hey, I just want to MOVE on the board:)


********************************************************************


I came to the third year with lots of goals in mind, lots of hope and lots of zest. I had wanted to blog about them, to remind myself of what I began the year with. However, procrastination (as usual) won the game and I am too deflated now to even remember the wonderful things I had in mind. I am feeling my age really, creeping silently up on me.


*********************************************************************


It's a strange feeling recently, between Tian'en and I. We have been surviving just talking for about 0.5h on the phone everyday since I returned. It is out-of-sorts for us, considering how we used to spend 3h on the phone daily. Both of us are just too busy to have coincide time frames to talk for long. What puzzles me most was how satisfied I am with this little time we spend with each other. In the past, I would not have settled for anything less than an hour (he would pay dearly if he did not offer that amount of time). I wonder if this is an improvement of our independence or a sign of us drifting apart.

Perhaps it is good for both of us to have things to occupy us while we are apart. Wandering minds lead to wandering hands... *Snort*

Summmer 2008

Forgive me if I slip into some cliche granny words, but it does seem just yesterday that I just saw my family at the airport. It seems like just last night that I watched "Batman Begins" with Tian'en. The beautiful dream will come to an end in 10 hours' time.


This holiday has been rather fruitful, given that I had met up with a lot of old friends, often more than once. It is one thing to be updated about what had happened in your friend's life since you disappeared from this continent for 9 months. It is another to live through her life with her as it is happening. Think of it as reading a newspaper clipping from the year before compared with watching live news. I am glad I got to witness the America financial turmoil and China Melamine poisoning saga first hand in Singapore.


I have to admit though, that I was not very satisfied with what I had achieved in Singapore. I returned with a long list of to-dos but the only thing I accomplished was "spend more time with Tian'en".

  • Read on World War II (inspired by my trip to Auschwitz) --- Ended up reading only on the events precipitating to the war itself. Didn't even make it to the start of the war.
  • Learn to make Dimsum ---- Ended up with a batch of overstuffed siew mais and a "xiao long bao" stomach
  • Learn pole-dancing --- Class was too full. But I may just do it in London:D
  • Run more --- 1st it was lack of time, then sick, then knee pain, then arch pain, then ... Excuses, Cheryl.
  • Catch up on what shows the rest of the world HAS watched--- Does watching Heroes season I count?

Now that the holiday has come to an end, I guess it is too late to rectify the situation. Yet, I feel no regrets somehow, because it seems that I had spent substantial amount of time on my friendship deposits. Maybe material pursuit is really immaterial in face of spiritual contentment. hmmm...
