Just a distraction here before I continue: Should Batman have enjoyed eating steamboat all alone by himself?
I suddenly have a crap idea here. Seriously, it's total crap. Batman should consider inviting John Constantine if his friends aren't invited.
Maybe DC should start a detective agency helmed by Batman and John Constantine
Okay, back to the topic. Despite the absurdity surrounding the question of whether Singaporeans are academically smart but still utterly stupid, I realised I actually committed the mistake of seeing satire as the real deal. In fact, I wasn't the only one being fooled. As you can see by now, human intelligence is never absolute. But should the MLC have consulted the public to ensure that Singaporeans aren't stupid? The irony of this episode was evident in the sense that the person who fooled me was a girl. A local Singaporean girl, to be exact. I swear if this post goes national, it means I have to find a way to apologise to her. And her BFFs as well in case there's a need to avoid a lynch mob from India.
So why do I blame Steve?
To be honest, it's a joke based on what he once famously (?) said to me. Namely, I shouldn't be so obsessed with anime if I wanted to know members of the opposite sex. In NSF speak, it means you need to be cool in order to get the girls. And Steve Ang was the coolest guy in now-defunct 32 SIB@Clementi Camp. But what if the intellectual level of Japanese visual media can be way higher in value than works like Crazy Rich Asians and the Ah Boys To Men series? This post will be about stuff related to Steve's comment on why I was (and still am) not the coolest guy in the country. Actually, it'd take either a global miracle or an utterly stupid girl for me to get an actual smartphone instead of a pseudo smartphone cursed with zero net accessibility.
Seriously, I doubt my ancestor was the Sage of Strategies or the Falcon That Shines From The East.
Before I begin, it seems that something funny is about to rise from the (Far) East
This past one month or so seemed terribly weird. Not in a nation giving birth to a unifier named Lee Kuan Yew but that other nation giving birth to another unifier NOT guilty of invading the salty Koreans. Three weird things, to be exact.
The first weird thing involved the Showa Emperor becoming as emo as Winston Churchill. If the reason behind Winston Churchill turning emo was a deadly cocktail of Singapore and depression, then for the Showa Emperor, it's this. Now it must be stated that when you signed along the dotted line, that's it. In other words, you can't blame people for reacting in a way that's... well, angry. The anger directed towards an Emperor (in)famous for starting a war shouldn't be dismissed as emotional issues. Yes, we're now living in an era where the closest thing to a Japanese invasion would be Ambitious Abe's intent to amend the post-war Constitution. But that doesn't mean we should dismiss history as if our ancestors were a bunch of Vikings sailing all way from Saxony. While hypothetical analysis should be perfectly okay, it's important to state the hypothetical as... well, hypothetical. This comes to mind a very interesting question: Why the timing? Mind you, the entry was dated 7th April 1987. That'd be like two years before he passed away. In the aftermath of his demise, we have brave people behaving like every brave Ainu and equally brave Ryukyuan. Simply put, someone has be responsible for the greatest shock in Japanese history since Crown Prince Naruhito married a feminist N years before his father decided to abdicate in the name of irony (i.e. the reason behind Emperor Emeritus Akihito's abdication was the reason why the Meiji government decided to ban every Emperor from ownself fire ownself). As if this wasn't enough, it's implied that the Showa Emperor did have his own BFF. I'm not spreading fake news and neither am I out to spread satire. In fact, this real news came from the unlikeliest suspect otherwise known as the South China Morning Post. I have a decent guess on who this unknown BFF was. Unfortunately, certain things cannot be said because there are families in Japan which you cannot afford to piss off.
The second weird thing would be Robert Kuok agreeing to an interview with Asahi Shimbun. At first glance, there's nothing weird about Asahi Shimbun doing a Robertayaki. Excuse me, Mr Kuok, so you're telling your fellow Kuok that Asahi Shimbun should be given the right to interview you ahead of the likes of Bahasa Melayu Mail and South China Sea Morning Post? I don't want to react like a brave Ainu or equally brave Ryukyuan, but I'm sorry to say that it's illogical. Shouldn't the right to do a Robertayaki go to news media owned by your people? I'm not being a protectionist, I'm just trying to be logical. And besides, something else happened involving another bunch of salty East Asians. Moral of the story? It takes a brave Japanese to do a Robertayaki.
The third weird thing actually happened like a year ago or so. Now the good thing about me being myself is curiosity. So far so good, I've yet to exercise my cremation rights. That is a good thing because that means I can keep on being curious until I run out of respawns. This is also the reason why I have the ability to obtain knowledge through wiki sites. The same couldn't be said about my fellow Singaporeans, though. If you're a Hokkien, it means you're forever a Hokkien. This may sound straightforward, but the region where every Hokkien hailed from was also the most vulgar place in China. Just when optimists believed such vulgar days of vulgar people and vulgarities have ended due to names like Xiamen University and Yi Zhong Tian, the Japanese Imperial family was given a dose of classic Hokkien education. Funnily enough, the Imperial Household Agency had no comments. Sounds logical? Considering the Imperial Household Agency has always been dogged by a reputation of being control freaks, that's illogical. Not even a statement striking a diplomatic tone was done. Sounds illogical? Well, it's more illogical than Asahi Shimbun given the right to trademark the Robertayaki
