It’s so ironic that the people who oppose abortion because it’s considered ‘murder’ can go on to murder someone else themselves. Surely there’s a less violent way to have your voice heard?
Beware the wrath of Stephanie Meyer! Actually this resonates with me because I do put people I don’t like/people who irritate me in my plays as well.
A poem about social events and inner demons.
I think this is something we might all be able to identify with.
“The Government invests a good amount of money each year, marketing Chinese as a language all Singaporean Chinese should use. It’s cool, they said. How so? The television commercial is memorable, no doubt, but does it really make me want to use the language? Let’s not even talk about the posters. What? Chinese is cool because some Singaporean singer says so? My apologies for being harsh, but that’s not about to make someone as detached as I am convinced.”
“My race is Chinese, but I do not feel Chinese like the Chinese from China do. In fact many of my peers and I differentiate ourselves from the mainland Chinese back home. I have been indoctrinated in school to feel like a Singaporean, but a Singaporean identity is still fluid and does not have much history or heritage to fall back on – Singapore does not have many decades of history, and whatever authentic heritage we have has mostly been lost to economic development and capitalism.”
The title of this post is not a joke.
‘If we had sex without the condom, I’ll make sure that I wash my private area very thoroughly and drink a lot of water and pee a lot,’ she told The New Paper in a phone interview.

‘I’m not sure, but I think it will help,’ she said.
Again, she’s not alone.
