Tonight I lost a friend. One who saw me through the hard times in my life, one who was always there to soothe me with melodies unforgettable when I was bored, sad, happy, or just didn’t have anything better to do. One who seemed to know what it was that I wanted to hear. One who was sexy black.
I can’t believe I left it in the cab. I am in mourning.

It’s not that I haven’t been there before – we all have at some point in time. Most of the time, to be more exact. But going digital for real… I’m still extremely ambivalent to it. It’s like a buffet – you think you can get so much more for cheaper but after a while you don’t really enjoy it that much. Sometimes a $2 plate of Chicken Rice is good enough to satisfy you.

Photos taken at AWARE EGM on 2nd May. I need to upgrade to a digital camera – for these kind of events where the setting is dark and I’m just an amateur film really isn’t the way to go!

Here’re a few audio clips that I was able to record from the AWARE EGM on 2nd May, some are pretty amusing to hear. I regret not being able to capture Constance Singam’s “Where Were You” speech though. Oh well. Enjoy.
1. Josie’s Open Door Policy
2. Point of Order Back Atcha
3. A Legal Counsellor’s Rebuttal Against Gregory Vijayendra on the Legal Power of No Confidence Vote
4. Paranoid Androids
5. Inefficiencies, with AWARE and with the sound system

1414 against 761, that is Singapore’s stand against people who establish coups over quarter-century-old organizations that they cannot even begin to call theirs, or have any relation to previously.
That is Singapore’s stand against using the pulpit as an influential tool to aid in forcing one-sided religious views upon others – much worse a secular organization.
That is how we stand against using religion recklessly as a political tool, and involving it with events that would definitely be elevated up to such a a controversial scale.
We could do better, but for now that is good enough. Alas, the matter resulting from the core of selfish- and childishness has been settled, and we all go back to our daily lives again. Hopefully those who were all riled up at the EGM today will also be just as involved in AWARE’s upcoming activities, although fund-raising probably wouldn’t be that big an issue with the 2,700 or more new memberships over the last week – the $90,000(seriously.) definitely shouldn’t be their problem as well.
That was a hell of an experience – I wish I’d stayed on longer.
