Okay, just a sudden random thought.

After "The Store of Memorabilia", maybe the next theatre script I do (if I after gonna do one) will be a slightly more political one. And one sudden thought that came to me after an extremely long chats wif two frens, dealt with the idea of creativity.

Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow muttered this line after a naval officer could not think of tearing up the corset to let Keira Knightley's drowning character breathe properly in Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl: "You probably have not been to Singapore." When he said this, I laughed out loud because I thought it was a political joke about Singaporeans learning creativity through government's effort.

So, anywayz, people have been laughing at Singaporean's government sometimes desperate attempts to change its people, including Singaporeans ourselves. but, hey, it's a bit ironic right? why does Singapore government have to encourage Singaporeans to have creativity anyway? what have we done to encourage the government to force such extreme measures? is the government the total laughing icon in this joke? are we Singaporeans unknowingly laughing at ourselves?

i hate Singapore, but i discovered i hate it because i hate Singaporeans singing the national anthem wrongly and not remembering the actual meaning of the whole song, because i hate Singaporeans laughing ignorantly at themselves, because i hate it when Singaporeans hate everything the government is doing without realizing what they're doing sometimes. i say this not because I'm patriotic, but because I want to be. why shouldn't one hope to be patriotic? i am proud to be a chinese, i am proud to be a hakkian, i am proud to be a gemini, i should really hope to be patriotic one day, and Singapore should be the one before I go somewhere else and discover the place there makes me belong at home more than in Singapore.
