Do you feel me?

PM Lee said, "Whatever the decision is, we have to close ranks and move ahead so that means the decision is the beginning of the work because there will be more work to be done."

SM Goh said: "The world has changed, Singaporeans have changed. Would our values be eroded just because there is a casino, totally eroded? I don't think so. That there will be incremental social costs, I concede. But will the whole society collapse because of a casino? I don't think so.

MM said even if we don't build one, everyone else will have one anyway.

DPM Tan said the Cabinet has made a difficult decision on a complicated issue and that it was up to everyone to give ideas on how to make the decision work.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has also seen it fit to release a 13-page report on the issue by Mr. Chia "I-took-S$117,000,000-from-right-under-APB's-fucking-noses" Teck Leng. Riight, you want me to take trust what this man says? And by the way Mr. Chia, please lah, who are you to suggest a S$10,000 entry fee for Singaporeans, we mature enough to have a casino, we sure as hell mature enough to handle the consequences. That's the only thing that really stinks if we were to have a casino, this entry fee condition for Singaporeans. Either you totally ban us or you don't.

I had a great week, seeing 2 pandas doing it like they do on the Discovery Channel is something else, man, I love DC.

Other notable highlights of the week included seeing a girl who could not have been more than 25 pry open a box of grapes at the local supermart to get at one so she could sample it. This country is destined for great things.

And then there's the one about this goondu who got off the train and then proceeded to go up a downward moving escalator. This would not have been so funny (since saya is guilty of it several times, also cos I could see out of the corner of my eye goondu's doomed approach towards the offending escalator) if not for the fact said goondu was moving so fast and surely that goondu clattered on the steps of the escalator with an almighty cacophony of sounds. Said sounds made the Eggs lose it and it took a strenous effort on the part of both Eggs to maintain a semblance of decorum while goondu meekly took the stairs with everyone else, decorum was promptly lost when goondu was out of earshot. To the people who were present at NE12 this morning, we are sorry for looking and sounding like a pair of deranged hyenas.
