the kiwis would have won the america's cup if they didn't think 8 to 1 was the winning margin. :p
How could you leave out the heartwarming, tear-jerking bravery bit about how Boss lost his foot in an accident, but came back rehabbed with a prosthetic foot and started breaking away from the pack in the mountains on his seatless bike?![]()
Some glowing CV, Sam may have enjoyed his ass being smoked :p. But shed no light on his schizo leanings on his multi-ethnicity. Latest is Myanmese (note he's sticking to Burmese)
The Kiwi says, "No way mate, you gotta be bullshitting me!"
The Centrelink officer says, "Yeah, well, you started it".
2. Sam is an opponent of PAP's illiberal, anti-libertarian policies. Authoritarian nanny state, no separation of powers, limited freedoms of speech/association/assembly, monolithic press, abuse of courts and ISA to silence dissent, etc.
3. Sam loves to play the devil's advocate. Google the phrase. .
As for playing the Devil's advocate, maybe he does it so well that it has become indistinguishable from a genuine opinion. Imagine playing DA over thousands of posts. After a couple of years of that you start to realize he;s actually serious.
Nope, he has not been consistently against the illiberal aspects of PAP rule. In fact i don't even remember the last he spoke up against ISA, lack of press freedom, etc.
Dr Gregory House is the lead of the hit TV series "House" played by British actor Hugh Laurie.
Hugh Laurie speaks good old Queen's English. However, when he gets into character, he transforms himself from a Brit to an American. Once the transformation is made, he speaks with his American accent the whole day even between scenes. The role he's playing takes over for the day.
Top actors like myself and Hugh tend to get so carried away with the characters we play that we forget who we actually are in real life.
He has, during the early Delphi days, when he was actually more himself rather than playing out a character.
I found the article: http://www.singapore-window.org/sw01/010116ti.htm
It doesnt seem like an interview, more of a report.
Why isn't this here anymore??? "Another taste of Sammy's sense of humor comes when you log on. A window appears warning "all SPH journalists to keep out. You are not welcome." SPH is Singapore's print media near-monopoly, the publisher of the pro-government Straits Times and New Paper."
Initially thought the OCS graduate who was posted to Tengah Airbase and who was commended for outstanding dedication as an SAF officer was being sarcastic in his support of the PAP and wanted to stir up dialogue and create heated debate to drive up traffic.
Turns out I misread all along. His support for the PAP and his belief in the good it has done is genuine. You could never tell from his Asia week interview with Eric Ellis. He was never a stooge of the regime, never ate from its rice bowl, never once was a civil servant, grassroots volunteer, or People's Association employee, but his belief in the good work of LKY remains to this day and is as genuine and sincere and consistent as it can get.
He has an unbroken record of employment in the private sector during which his salary once exceeded $10,000 per month. He emigrated to NZ, cashed out his half a million dollar CPF, sold his Singapore property for a tidy profit, and there in his new homeland decided to become a self-made man - an entrepreneur of sorts if you will, first peddling porn then peddling politics. He is a self-taught web developer. His net worth exceeds USD 10 million and he survives on the interest income alone, without needing to touch principal. He has a golden retriever who is well trained and obedient, a small but lovely house, and mixes easily with practically everyone. His interest is in photography, the outdoors, and biking. He has vacations at least once or twice a year, and loves posh hotels.
With such a profile, few would have guessed he would be the architect of the hottest and most successful sex forum in Asia (maybe even the world) where all sorts of cheongsters congregate to share FRs, arrange meetups and joint cheonging sessions, exchange FL contacts, exchange sob stories, erotic stories, sex advice, where people literally have life-changing experiences as a result of engaging in the forum, where OKTs peddle their wares and pay to advertise, where even govt sponsored entities like Action For AIDS has advertised.
Even fewer would have guessed also that he would also be the architect of the hottest and most successful political-cum-emigration forum in Singapore where the Braddell prostitutes come for inside scoops, where the news is broken before it is broken anywhere else, where the random ramblings of some forummers can be even more valuable than what is published anywhere else in the blogosphere or on Facebook, a forum that has helped countless people over the years successfully emigrate to a new country and helped them settle in.
Still harbored remnants of hatred towards those fucking PAP clowns in those days so getting into character was a lot harder. It wasn't so much the policies that riled me, it was a personal hatred of the PAP leadership and the fact that one had to listen to them day in day out ad nauseum spewing their bullshit.
However, after many years in Ang Moh land, I look back fondly at my former tormentors and often wish that the NZ government was more PAP like ie decisive, focused and intolerant of those who want something for nothing.
Yes, its called bipolar disorder, you nutjob.
Those who oppose the junta will call Myanmar Burma and call themselves Burmese.
He also changed his rented room location from Toa Payoh to bedok south.
That's what I was warded for in IMH for many years ago. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be.
