i don't mean to venture into politics or to comment on anything vaguely related to it, but i couldn't help it when i rcved this email. so that's what DXO is.. a sneaky badly-disguised arm of the SDU. YP btw, refers to Young PAP i think. i haven't reached the age or level of wisdom yet to be vehemently against the govt trying to matchmake us hapless singles, but i do relate to the fact that the more someone (esp someone of authority) asks you to do something, the more you refuse to, even if you did want to do it in the first place. call it pigheadedness, a stubborn streak, being unreasonable.. some things you simply can't explain. like hey, we know big brother's watching, taking note how many couples are producing valuable human resource (or not), but it's terribly eerie thinking that relationships are not just an expression of human affection, but also a precious commodity for your country. of course i'm aware of counter-arguments, like how they're just trying to help blah blah.. oh whatever. *goes back to reading a book*

oh alrighty call me hypocritical or whatever. schemes by the Govt are intrusive, but schemes by the people are ok. presenting modische.com, some new site from sam and co. it's an online community of sorts, with forums, online shopping and (no not porn) a monthly girl-next-door feature. btw if you visit the site now, don't be alarmed by the sample pic.. it's JUST a sample of how the feature will be like. it is NOT a link to porn. well it'd better not be, anyway. apparently i'm supposed to be girl August. *cue twitching eyelid* look out for it, or (preferably) not.
