Singapore: The gamble

The government is gambling on the fact our economy will be boosted by the upcoming casino due to the increase of jobs, estimated at 30 000 positions, and increase in tourism rates. Hmm... Not a bad idea if you come to think of it. However, I really disliked the fact that the PM stated that he has "no choice" but to support this decision. No choice my ass! And why call it an entertainment city when it's obviously more slated to be a gambling city??

The choice of words to make one decision seem more favourable...

No doubt there are plans for other forms of entertainment in the same area, yet I believe throughout the country, it is undisputed that many believe the main interest in visiting the completed "entertainment city" would be the casino. As in the case of Genting Highlands, almost 70% of tourists there go for the sheer reason of trying their luck at the casinos. Bleah. I am a strict non-advocater of gambling. You're not going to get MY money!


Back in my own in little life, I saw a truly weird comment in my haloscan... Someone called "Bitch" who truly isn't very smart either. What "I want" lists? I don't have a list! And did I say I want Nash to get me a new mobile phone?? Excuse me, bitch (I'm not trying to call you names here, but that's the pseudonym you left behind) I am very capable of paying for my own things, fuck you very much. Just for your information, the money for my last few mobile phones came straight out my own pocket. The first few were gifts or hand-me-downs from my mum from way back in secondary school.

An insight from myloh said that this person seems to be a close friend in real life. If that really is the case, screw off I tell you. I don't need a friend like you. Someone who doesn't have the guts to come up to me and confront me. Fuck you.

With all the people in the world, even if just in the Singapore, there are way enough avenues where I can find true friends who are not shy about sharing their honest opinions with me.

And if the truth may be told, I do believe I know who this "bitch" is. Don't be jealous of me, my young friend. No one in this world has everything. =)
