Ramble. rumbles.
Mum is staying at sis's place for a week. And suddenly, I look forward to going home! Its not that I'm some kind of problem child, its just a nice feeling to have the whole house (small as it is) to myself.A couple of things that I can do now includes walking around almost stark naked, playing my cds loud and not hear some chinese drama going on in the background...
I can, for instance, be boiling water to cook pasta while showering. And the the water has boiled, I walk out of the bathroom, naked, to put the pasta in. Hahaha.. all this in semi darkness (I have people living opposite my block! or maybe they already got use to my exhibitionist tendencies...)
Weather is turning chilly. I didn't sleep too well last night because I felt cold! My blanket isn't enough. Suddenly, I think of The Day After Tomorrow. Anyway, its the time of the year when it rains more, is cold and all I want to do is snuggle in bed. Its also the time of the year when I feel most needy. In need of someone to curl up to. Its going to be a long december.
Yesterday at the library. I felt like all the books were getting boring. Everything book talks about similar stuff. Humans and morality. Evolution. Sperm competition. Sex. Consciousness. Emotions. After a while, it seems that every book mentions something another book said. In the biology section, so many books has an introduction talking about Darwin. I know he is a great guy per se. But I have been reading about him for a long time. Nothing new these days huh?
Currently reading: The Moral Animal.
Frankly speaking, I don't believe in morality. I will admit that I do not posses any bit of morality at all. What is right, what is wrong, is frequently subjective and its just a very thin line which separates the two. Right vs wrong is a human-constructed concept. Acts in the name of morality and justice have often times throughout history proven to be a sham. Some social construct which blinds peole. Talk about the inquisistion. In the name of christ, burn the witches at the stake. Is that right? Who are we to label what is moral, what acts are moral?
We are a pretty blinded species.
Talking about religion. Imagine a world without it. Would it have been much better? Averted more suffering? Averted war? Averted extremism? The world could have been a better place without religion. If Christ never came, if Mohammad never came, etc etc.
Singapore has often emphasize on the need for racial harmony. I think its time they go beyond that. There has been, for some time, a growing resentment for expats. That isn't so bad considering that do bring in skills we lack. They bring with them a culture, a working attitude which might be good for us. But presently, we have growing numbers of China Chinese. You hear them everywhere. Is there discrimination against them? I can only frankly say that there sure is some kind of prejudice against them.
PRCs are all over the world. They are everywhere. Mao's idealogy. Go forth and multiply!
