with great respect to mathilda.

i am positively devastated by the results of this week's Singapore Idol. the intelligent viewers of singapore have voted out one of the best singers of the competition. and i'm still trying to get over it. seriously, what is the point in having Singapore Idol? why not create an Are You Hot, or another lame competition that judges NOT on merit? as much as i feel that the Singapore Idol producers have created a show that is very contrived, i still applaud them for their recognition that this IS a singing competition. but still, despite their desperate efforts, we still have people with thick skulls lying around, who refuse to see that. take lionel for example (lionel no hard feelings, it is just this that i feel very, very angry with you about, it's nothing we both don't know we are at odds at), he is so pleased with Mathilda's exit. please, if the education and cultural upbringing of singapore creates people who judge others by their looks, then i think Singapore, creating the best talents is still shit. these are the people who cannot see beyond looks and to whom the attempts at sense-inculcation by the SI people are in vain. thank god Hady has a good voice, or else he would be another victim of my attack.

it's sad to see that really, singapore is such a cold, cold place. i don't see how we deserve ANY cultural respect at all, when all we do is either follow after the westerners or create really stupid cultures. look at quality of shows on tv, and look at the things we ask the people who grace our petit nation to perform or exhibit. "So, asian girls?" "Do you have any problem with girls?" what the FUCK?! can singapore grow up? please?

i hate singapore because of that. i love singapore for all that it has done for me, but if you cannot fail to realise this problem, then... my, it makes one want to cry. can singapore have more substance than this?
