nai's rhetoric

oh my god i had such a good night. finally done with all the course works and even though i must admit i didnt really out in 100% effort for my quantitative methods (i didnt even rule the coursework requirements until i submitted it only to realise i had to include the workings for my excel spreadsheet. but i mean fuck, i've listed all my constrains down in the workings it should be a problem unless my tutor suspects i ripped some other guys work than im fucked.) and my economics coursework on the GDP of Singapore. we basically concluded that instead of one time fiscal stimulations for the poor and needy in Singapore, more could be done in the re-distribution of wealth and we basically recommended implementing a minimum wage labour law. such one time pay offs are such a farce, espacially on the eve of the election. so like david went back to sweden, nick went back to czech, karl went back to sweden, robin left today, the only people left were me fredrik and juan. so we went to this wicked vietnamese restuarent down at shoreditch off kingsland road to have some pho which was excellent as usual. and fredrik was saying back in sweden you can never find a place like that. the multi-cultural atmosphere all packed into this eatery where no one judges you and you dont judge anyone. its something that have never experienced before. but for as much difference between singapore and sweden, its surprising similiar in so many regards. we have a huge middle class population that is basically content to stay in their comfort zone and there is absolutely no incentive for them to break out of the comfort zone to stake it out. which why there are so little entrepreneurs in both our countries. you might be thinking hey sweden has so many big companies like ikea, h&m and the makers of tetra packs where you drink your chrysthenam tea out of those cupboard like boxes ( yeah this company basically makes all the tetra packs in the world) but the thing about these companies is that they have been around for decades and have establised themselves way back when the country was still developing ya? i mean look at singapore, the only famous entrepreneur that i can think of is sim wong ho. i cant name anyone else. its uncanny the similarities.
anyway half way through, juan had to split and join his friends at this gay bar which is weird because debbie called me like at 10 and asked if i wanted to join her at this gay party as well. wtf? is friday the universal gay night or something? no that i have anything against gays, in fact i love them to bits. honestly, if you're reading this you know im refering to you and mate, you're one of my best friends and we must have more talks like we did in future.it was so good meeting you after so long.
anyways, so me and fredrik downed a bottle of wine which i must confess i only had max 1 glass (i still cant drink ofr nuts guys so please go easy when im back) of red wine. so after that we hit a local pub and it suddenly occurred to me that you could never find such a pub like setting in singapore. wooden chairs and tables with carpeted floors. everything was so english. you could just find a table and have a drink with your mates all night long and this is how so many people spend their nights. the singapore equivalent would to be heading down to starbucks or coffebean to have some coffee and chill under the sun. never alcohol because the 'pubs' in singapore are all realy disco pubs with loud music and many smokers. i think if someone were to bring this english pub setting back to singapore it would be such such such a fucking blast. guaranteed to make money or your money back plus chop.
anyway, we had a single malt Laphroaig, smokey whisky. omg you guys absolutely have to taste this shit. this is DA SHIT. it goes soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo well with a cigarette. it literally evaporates in your tongue and it goes down so smooth and it burns at the same time. i had like 3 spasms drinking that shit and all of a sudden, london wasnt as cold as it was. this is the shit guys. aster, we must have a Laphroaig together when im back, i guarantee you will love it. so we sat around all night talking and it was good. i finally had a 1 on 1 conversation with fredrik after so much time. due to our timetables i was always closer to david (californiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa here we come!!!!) but fred's such a cool guy as well. he was just commenting how out of this world it is to have one guy from singapore and him from sweden to have such common goals and determination and focus and passion about the same topic. it blows my mind as well. i guess this is one of the major perks of being in london. its a bit surreal sometimes. suddenly i have friends from all over the world. im seeing learning feeling sensing things that i otherwise would have never experienced if i were to remain in singapore. its such an attack on the sense. just taking the tube from place to place you hear people speaking in french, spanish, cantonese, mandarin, all kinds of fucking language. you see all these victorian architecture all over the place. and down at oxford street (the orchard road equivalent) apple has this MASSIVE store. it is sooooo wicked. victorian style exterior and suddenly hanging from one of the huge windows is this apple logo. globalisation with old age culture. its just amazing. anyways im gonna watch some apprentice and go to bed. my head is shot to bits with all the alcohol ive consumed.
gosh i love london.
