Unarmed combat--over.
Why pay top dollar to watch a show when you can be paid to watch a show instead? How do you achieve that?
Ans: Be part of the backstage crew.
Did a lot of keesiao stuff on Friday. Went out to 7-11, bought cup noodles, went down to another 7-11, added hot water, and ate while walking back to VT. I think I looked very busy, walking along Raffles Place MRT and burying my face into my cup noodles.
Damn fun.
Did nothing much after that. During the performance, I was just stoning there and watching them perform, not helping at the backstage or anything at all. Just stoning, squatting at one corner, looking at the success of others while lamenting at my own plight.
Just joking.
They're really good though, everyone performing. And I got to see them up close, not like the rich i----s who bought the $50 < X tickets, where X stands for the amount of money spent. I get my CCA points, too. One stone, 2 birds. Zai.
Shouted the school song, like I always do. And ran out of the place, in case there's any debriefing or shit. And on the way out, I was singing the school song(shouting), and The Final Countdown, since I'd be singing it for the CHMA auditions this coming Monday. Preparations indeed, and what other place than in public?
Was still singing it on the train, damn fun.
Then today. I wanted to do something I wouldn't be able to do normally if I entered VT as an audience, so I slipped on my slippers just to show that I'm a really sloppy person. FYI, nobody should be wearing slippers in VT, because it's supposedly high-class, and high-class people wear shoes.
It's just that shoes are formal attire or something. Screw it, wearing slippers is like my policy lah. Anyway, I went to find them at Raffles Place MRT, the first 7-11 chain. Upon reaching, my phone battery died(because I was playing Sims 2), and I couldn't call anyone. There was nobody there either, so not knowing what to do and being out of battery, I was stranded with no contact with my friends.
What to do?
I charged my phone in an empty socket just near 7-11. It drew a lot of negative attention(I think), because like a lot of people watching me, trying to read the words on my shirt(which would tell them that I'm from Cat High NCC LAND). I think I'm a negative image for my school. Ah well, can't do anything anyway. I can't expect more from myself, when I walk around in slippers, shouting my school song and The Final Countdown in public, and sexual stuff like 'Shut up before I rape you', 'I bite off your nipples', 'I squeeze your neh ah'.
Anyway, I made the call, charged a bit, and was happy. Met up with them, had cup noodles again. Got to VT, went in and charged to my heart's content. Damn happy.
Played Chinese Chess with Kuan Hao, and some other Part Cs. Like getting raped like that, almost everyone helping the Part C. 观棋不语真君子。I think it's written like that. But like no one care like that. Still, I'm glad to be able to win. A hard fought battle. Taxing.
Watched the performance again, this time going out to the stage to watch. Hidden by the curtains lah, of course. Backstage crew should always remain hidden from view, and so we chose not to go out when they were thanking the backstage crew and all. OK, it's just that I wasn't wearing shoes. But to noble-fy my reason for not going out, it's that backstage people should remain hidden from the public eye, as backstage should always remain backstage. Never mind, it's getting repetitive. Helped to load the shit back on the lorry for awhile, before grabbing our bags and zao-ing. We have 'curfew', so can't stay back to help out.
Was doing the usual, and by 'usual', I mean shouting songs and all. With the inclusion of 'AHHHH! Please don't rape me!' It wasn't because anyone was targeting me, but just to show that I can.
Damn fun.
Now time for some serious stuff. Morals.
'The view of the majority is always correct. Do you agree?'
That was the GP essay my sister wrote last year for her A level paper, and I think it's rather relevant to the topic of morals. Note that I'm not trying to write a GP essay, but that I'm trying to justify the behaviour of more unique people, such as myself.
A very short blurb. Might elaborate further next time.
I feel that morals is more of a 'view of the majority'. Different people have different sets of morals, differing slightly more often than not. However, when one is born and have a more different set of morals, then that person is labelled 'wrong', 'morally degraded', 'sleazy' (I understand that morally degraded = sleazy; shut up), blah blah.
But the view of the majority may not always be right; slavery wasn't seen as morally degrading, or an infringement of human rights in the past.
I won't bother typing anymore, it's just food for thought. But moral values is subjective. Abstract to a certain extent, and no one should force his/her own set of morals onto another person's.
As long as you live your life the way you want it, and are happy with it, and live without regrets, just do things your way.
Of course, murder and rape is wrong.
Maybe not.
