In My Words

"Don't ever lose faith in who you are, for that's what makes you different.
Don't try to turn yourself into someone everyone else is, for if that happens, the world is a poorer place."
- Sept 2005

--------------------------------------

Every year I've been in London, in October especially, a thought creeps into my head. The first year I followed my heart. The second year I followed my head. This year, I don't know which to listen to. You can call me narrow minded, claustrophobic, weird, stupid, good-for-nothing etc, but I know deep down inside, Singsoc will always run in my blood. No one will ever understand the way I feel about the society, why I believe in it so much, so much so that I've sunk in nearly $1,000 of my own cash into the society.

I've grown tired of explaining why I've grown to love this society everyone else loves to hate. It's not because I want to be popular. It's not because I crave power and glory. But because I believe so much in the vision of Singsoc, and what we can do for Singapore as a society. It's about our country, our home.

Everyone talks about high-flying careers, well-paying jobs. But deep down inside I know there is little to take me away from a career in the civil service. But I am very conscious of the fact that I'm not a government scholar, and even if i get into the civil service, I know my progression will always be limited as thus. But I don't think I should let such facts dampen this belief I have. Neither should I ever be bothered about criticism and jibes. But most importantly, I should not let those who doubt me change me.

In your eyes, can there never be altruism in the world? A genuine desire to a make a difference should not always be interpreted as an agenda. What's wrong in wanting to make the world a better place for other people? If you can have your beliefs, I can have mine. And I believe in Singsoc, I always have.

And in this incoming committee, I know that the faith will not be misplaced. Lingli and Andre, I know both of you are among the best people we have to carry this through. It's important to believe, please don't lose the faith.

Oh, "Left Approach" - I'm proud of you, I really am.

-----------------------------------------

On another note, I've heard another rumour going around. That I was going to run for presidency of Singsoc this year. I feel like laughing. It's ridiculous really. Let's see if it happens NEXT year.
