I guess I'd left out the posts on my travel to the rest of the states; I was just too lazy to update. Moreever, if you are on my facebook, I'm sure you'd have seen the pictures and updates there. Therefore, rendering the need to read my blog unnecessary.
So, why am I blogging? This entry is dedicated to that china boy, sun xu, and his scholarship status.
Singaporeans work, Singaporeans earn, Singaporeans pay taxes, the Singapore government collects these taxes, the Singapore government uses part of the money collected to sponsor china boy a scholarship to study in Singapore, China boy in turn calls Singaporeans pig.
See the flow there of the injustice made blatant by the foreign ingrat there?
In what universe does "do not bite the hand that feeds you" does he not understand? And I do believe that there is a chinese idiom that enphasizes on that saying.
Now, the question lies in whether Singapore will be seen as a dimwitted and forgiving carrothead to continue sponsoring that china boy his studies.
"Slap me once? Nevermind la, I forgive you since you apologized under pressure. I will still pay for your education, and give you shelter. Maybe you will slap me a second time. Or maybe the rest of them will follow suit and slap me too. No harm done if you'd just apologize. Dont worry about it."
Go ahead, forgive him. Set an example to the rest of the foreign students. Might as well send out a mass message and print out a banner that says, "Go ahead and climb all over me. You will be forgiven as long as you apologize."
To be or not to be labelled as a "condoning benevolent cretin", place your vote:
