Ever had a vaccination before? Where the nurse pokes a needle into your arm, vein or even butt cheeks. I'm sure everyone in SG has had a couple before, for measles, small pox, and all the other diseases created by man. The after effect of a needle poking is never nice. Although there is no visible blood, the needle had pierced through skin and flesh. And thus explains the numbing yet painful swell at the point of entry.



Numbing yet painful swell... that's exactly what my finger felt like when i vaccinated myself with a durian shell... The thorn of the shell to be precise. After that, I did the most sensible thing anyone could think of. I took my revenge on the durian. Never again will its seeds grow into saplings, muhahahaha.



Funny how some people say eating eggs are cruel, that the unborn chick would never get a chance to experience life. Doesn't the same thing apply to fruits? Don't think i'll call you benevolent if you eat the fruit and sow the seeds onto the ground to give 'em a chance. Coz in SG, that's considered as littering.



Heard in the news yesternite that some new piracy law is gonna come into effect in a couple of days in SG. Which made me recall an article in the newspaper which had an interview with some irrelevant guy. Anyway irrelevant guy was telling the journalist that the government couldn't possibly catch them all.



Which is probably true. But to think that the new laws are a useless waste of ink on pieces of paper is wrong. Here, we practice punishment system, not reward system. You don't get rewarded for being a good citizen, but you get punished if you are a bad citizen.



In response to that irrelevant guy's comments, yes the governement can't catch all of them, but no, the government doesn't need to catch all of them. All they need to do is catch a couple, fine them severely to make an example and fear will propagate through the population and piracy would drop.
