Chinese New Year

is boring.
Except for trying bourdon+cola. lol Alcohol and caffeine?
But really, I feel that spicy food offer a better kick. It’s almost instant, but the side effects are painful.

I was drumming at AMK hub at night. Pressure! Got alot of people at the cinema and I guess they went to the arcade to pass time?
There was this china couple watching me, and the woman was saying I was “qiang”(strong) to her bf.

Well, I don’t have a gf so I have a lot of free time to taiko. Unless I’m that godly nerd who plays at Ehub(who coincidentally has a gf now. Guess I’m not l33t enough to get a drummer chick)

Besides, I played quite poorly; using the buttons on the DS have dulled my beat and rhythm skills, I think. I couldn’t get up a 100++ combo on Seasons of Asia.

Shall try to improve? Lol

[“I’m going to be a youth pastor,” my teenage girlfriend said. I was shocked. Women were not allowed to become pastors. “Honey, that’s silly. You know the Bible says women are supposed to be in submission, not authority. I don’t even want you to work outside the home — women should be at home, not at a job.”

The rest of the conversation didn’t go so well.

Christians make much ado about their commitment to family and marriage. They label themselves “pro-family” and “pro-life,” and think of those outside their cult as “anti-family” and “pro-death.” Yet the Christian teachings on submission and divorce cause immense suffering for many Christian women.
Biblical Teaching on Women and Divorce

[Women] are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission.
1 Cor. 14

Jesus, when asked about divorce, said, “whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery” (Matt. 19:9).

The Apostle Paul, when discussing women, said they “should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission” (1 Cor. 14). He also commanded women to be submissive to their husbands — in the same section he commands slaves to be submissive to their masters (Titus 2), making what most enlightened people would consider an uncomfortable parallel.
Trapped in Terrible Marriages

She is trapped because she is commanded to be submissive to her husband and is not allowed to consider divorce.

Make no mistake: there are many women trapped in terrible marriages due to these teachings. A friend I know, for example, is married to a man who is very harsh with her and their children. He is unkind and unjust. They are both Christians and are very involved in a small church. She is kind and submissive to him and does all she can to make him happy. Not only does she do all the housework and meals, but she also makes all the money — he doesn’t have a job. Yet he is one of the unhappiest people I know.

She is trapped because she is commanded to be submissive to her husband and is not allowed to consider or threaten divorce. In a normal marriage, she would tell her husband to get his act together or face the consequences of divorce. But instead, she tries to cheerfully serve him, be kind to him, and turn the other cheek.

He gets off the hook. There are no consequences for his actions. He gets to be a jerk, and still gets a woman who serves his every whim because she is commanded by God to be submissive to him. By doing this, she believes she is obeying God and pleasing him. She has no way out without disobeying her God and committing a great sin.

A Christian might respond, “But the husband isn’t fulfilling his biblical role of being a servant-leader. If he did, the marriage would be healed.” That is irrelevant — the husband is not a “servant-leader” and is unlikely to become one. He has no incentive to change, and in the meantime, it is he who benefits and the wife that suffers.
I Once Believed This

It is to my shame that I once enthusiastically agreed with these teachings. For many years I commanded my wife to not have a job and kept her home alone to “take care of the house” even though we had no children. When she did not do something I requested, I would lecture her on God’s commandments on submission. “I didn’t choose to be a man,” I’d say, “but God put me in charge and you must obey me.”

Yes, I was thoroughly brainwashed.]

great discovery

Ok, that’s exaggerating. But I think, one of the reasons why Chung Cheng girls just don’t stand out as much as girls from other schools is the uniform.

Why? The uniform is very much designed for males. It widens the shoulders and broadens the chest. It goes straight down before ending in pants/skirt. This severely reduces attractiveness. As you may know, fats are generally deposited in a pear(or hourglass) shape for females. Therefore, these secondary sexual characteristics are hidden due to the uniform.

The second problem are the shoulder straps. It gives a very military feel which is all fine and dandy for males, but once again fails to fit females. How can one be feminine if one looks like a new Red Army recruit?

Lastly, the school requirements for skirt length is damn lame. This is not the fucking 40s/80s. No, we want the mini-skirt of the 70s! Actually, that may be a bit too far.

In anycase, here are my suggestions for improvement:

Make the uniform a tighter fit. The new-style school uniforms are looser, hence girls can get a smaller size.

Make the chest pockets smaller and rounder. This gives a less military feel. I considered a suggestion of removing the shoulder straps and buttons but they’re a integral part of the uniform.

Add an accessory, I believe a ribbon/string/tie should be incorporated into the uniform. See Pasir Ris Crest Secondary School as a very simple example

this would be a good example. The uniform shows off what it should show off, has a touch of femininity, and the thigh highs lengthen the legs.
