The Koi

Koi fish at the Suntec city koi pond. The red is reflections from the Chinese New Year’s decorations. I like the way the photo came out, though it was not my intended result, it looks like a painting to me.

Piss off

Piss on the floor

Why? Why? Why can’t men in Singapore piss in the urinal? Why? I’ve been in Singapore for more than six years now and in every office I’ve worked in and many, many, many public buildings it seems to be impossible to use the urinal without stepping in Piss. Despite the fact that the cleaning staff usually cleans the restroom more than once a day it is inevitable that the floor in front of the urinal will look like some drunk decided to piss on the wall. Why? And aren’t talking about some pub where everyone taking a piss is pissed and therefore can’t aim. I work in buildings filled with professionals. What the fuck is wrong with these people? I would have to try to miss the urinal when I pissed to make this much mess of the floor. What the fuck?

My time has passed

Walking in the forest, I found a shovel sitting by a tree. So I dug a hole. A little way down I found a bone. Maybe a leg bone. Maybe human. I took the bone to the old woman who lives up the street. She deals tarot cards, reads palms and talks to the dead. The old woman told me it was indeed a human bone. She told me it had a violent past. Then she lit candles, burned incense, spoke in tongues, and communicated with the dead. Sitting in her living room surrounded by B-movie props I felt the air turn cold. A voice from the other side spoke; “leave me alone. My time has passed.” The old woman held out the bone for me and said, “bury it back where you found it.” So I returned to the forest, to the hole I had dug and I tossed in the bone. I picked up the shovel and filled in the hole. Then I took the shovel back with me and put it in the shed. Some stories were not meant to be told.

Imperial Propaganda

It is important to realize that the most effective forms of propaganda do not falsify verifiable truths and circumstances; instead they weave a preconceived pattern of significance through cleverly judicious use of available objective facts.
