I know you're right but shut up

Internet addiction is an illness, with the most severe cases are in East Asia.

10 years after Jakarta and 5 years after Shock & Awe

For Unpar competition, I wrote about Jemaah Islamiah. Hope I win ^^v.

Not that happy with riot in Tibet. I wonder if the world, and if Indonesian media are aware - Chinese families are being killed there, besides the Tibetans. It's a repeat of May 98 riot, with Chinese shopkeepers have to put the white lotus flag on their windows, another form of "Milik Pribumi" banner shown on May 98.

Yes, I support Tibet independence, but really, as a Chinese I'm also sad and offended with the anti-Chinese actions. You know, like Jews could feel that any kind of anti-Semitism is unacceptable.

And all the reasons given for the riot was valid. The Tibetans feel marginalized with the Chinese shops and the malls. That's why like in Paris, they felt happy for a day for overturning and burning a Toyota sedan. They feel they can hurt something they really hate - the poverty, the loss of personal identity and the feeling of inferiority before the Chinese.

Yomiuri Shimbun is shamelessly hypocrite when suggesting that Tibetans and Beijing should negotiate. Would they feel the same on the Ainu and Korean-Japanese activists? Same goes to the Chinese government who makes Dalai Lama their own bin Laden. The burnings and lootings were not by the order of the Dalai Lama. It's just what you get in riots.

O yeah, you know it's coming. American media reflect on the war on Iraq. Please enjoy the articles to see how we liberals can be so shamelessly being assholes.

Here's New York Times.

and here's Slate. I thought Chris Hitchens is supposedly classified as either conservative or libertarian.

Our headlines today - Friday 14 March 2008

1. Abdullah Badawi is an asshole.

2. Alvin Lie sells out. How come he doesn't represent Asia?

3. Well, you must give credit for people like Rosihan Anwar. A true racist who doesn't mask his anti-Chinese view.

Brasilia - a project gone wrong

Actually, I'm for social engineering (and it was something I really believed at university...say a Jakarta that could be like Singapore or Kuala Lumpur), so this article really saddened me. Too many idiots are living in this world and ruining our hopes and dreams, mocking all the genius' detailed plan and vision.

It's just like ruining piece of art. Imagine - a teenager could shoot a reporter in the engineered capital...it makes no difference at all with the nightmare that is Rio.

You feel the brutes couldn't overcome legends. But they have done it.

PS: Yes, I am impressed with the plan for the uniform and the type of taxi.

China is officialy suck

After Bjork (c'mon people! "Free Tibet!" is compulsory on rock concerts! You guys are such n00bs!), now the next victim is Tang Wei.

Yes John, there is a Merchant of Death

Not just in Mercenaries or Hitman games.

His name is Viktor Bout, a former Red Air Force pilot, and he's busted.

Back from hospital

Got influenza. The doctor scared it could be tropical diseases like dengue, so I was told to stay for few days. The good thing is now I feel great.

Hillary won Rhode Island (plenty of Asians, I heard), while Obama got Vermont. It's really urgent for Nader for back off, because he's not helping anyone (expect Republicans).

Saw this ad while in Yahoo! Australia. "Marriages are forever". Yes, they are.
