Chin Peng

yesterday i went down parkway mph, wanted to buy the biography on chin peng... goodness! it's sold out! does that mean that Singaporeans are a bunch of pro-communist people? or is it just some people (i think you need more than just "some") quite pissed of with the hype surrounding lky's birthday and bought them in protest? and he can say that singaporeans are an apathetic bunch of people... okok, don't shoot me off like that, i'm not anti-lky, its just that he shouldn't make such sweeping statements like that...

okay, let's see, say, parkway mph would bring in about 50? or, 100? of those books on chin peng, and they are all sold out, so that makes 50-100 households in the east reading them and when multiplied by say, 2 adults in the family, that makes quite a bit of communists around, don't it? by the way, i still see many Hillary Clinton biography in mph, so does it mean than there are more communists than capitalists in Singapore? taking that the US is an icon for capitalism... umm... food for thought...

another communist issue, taiwan is having some kind of anti-china campaign now... sounds funny (as in haha funny, not weird funny)... i mean, personally i think that taiwan should just be part of china, rather than making such a huge fuss over all the differences... see how well hong kong is doing as an SAR with all the advantages of being in a big stable country... haiz... just don't know what's in the minds of those funny (as in weird funny, not haha funny) taiwanese... they even catergorised china history as foreign history! i mean aren't they not they sons of the yan and huang?!

ya, another thing, politics aside, anyone bought the biography n chin peng? can lend me? and pls continue commenting about the story "sealed in time"... only yanling proposed some endings, so i'm waiting for you, yes, you!
