L337

I am elitist. I believe those in the elite circles (no inverted commas) are better than those outside, not because they are naturally smarter, but generally because those who are there made it there on something, and they do deserve some recognition, more so than the general populace. So don't complain that the elite schools get more money etc. They actually deserve it.

Xinrui showed me an article about some guy called Derek Wee, who wrote something about how people become redundant to society once they reach 40, and was complaining about lack of incentive and blaming the govt etc. Apparently a senior of mine commented on her blog about him and basically called him an idiot. I agree with her. Link is HERE.

Basically that's the guy's article and her blog post. Won't bother summarising, but basically i'll add my point on it. Derek's argument that people become reduandant once they reach 40 is supported by evidence of taxi drivers. And erm, because he met a couple of taxi drivers who got retrenched and couldn't find jobs, says that everyone becomes obsolete at 40.

... I dunno about you guys, but i can easily name 10 people (not even related to the government!) that still hold good steady jobs over the age of 40. So please don't take your taxi drivers as case study for the whole populace.

So anyway my senior's article is now apparently being branded EXTREMELY ELITIST (EE lol) and erm... is getting alot of flaming. She's some MP's daughter too, which adds a nice ironic effect. Anyway she basically says (ok fine i have to summarise) that just because he feels that he's going to turn useless at 40, doesn't imply that everyone else is. The funny part was that there were acutally lots of people that agreed with Derek's article, even though it was never published in the ST. (Derek Fans say it's because the govt doesn't want his 'all-too-true views' getting out to public, my senior says it's probably because his english sucks.) No prizes for guessing who I agree with. In fact, i think any article not in proper english should be automatically dismissed from anybody's concern. Like that my one no need read liao la.

Ironically enough, i don't think elitism is something the upper class invented from themselves. Elitism in my opinion starts from the segregation of certain people, because of social stereotypes, and all that crap. I get really annoyed when people go "Wah you from RJ ah. Must be damn smart lor" etc. When in actual fact we're really no different from the rest of you people. Except maybe for the fact that we do use our brains for something more useful. It's the mentality however, that people have about us, which we eventually accept for ourselves. So don't blame us for being elitist.

the above blog post is obtained from here.

we were told not to stereotype other ppl but its kinda hard when ppl like this exist on our wonderful earth. total bunch of shit heads. wats more a 17 years old brat talking abt being elitism. lol laughable man. as for this first para, nothing much, quite logical and coherant. as for him agreeing tat derek wee is complaining and stuff tats when the things come in. was he complaining? no he wasn't. there is a difference between voicing out a worry and complaining. 17 years old RJCian cant even differentiate that? they probably dun have the right to comment on derek. pls go continue on your breast feeding kids.

wow, 10 ppl is SO MANY!!!!!!!!! I CANT EVEN COUNT THEM WITH MY FINGERS! WOW TATS SO AMAZING! seriously get a grip man, 10 ppl compared to 4mil total population. do your maths stupid kid. you example isn't satisfactory at all. FAIL. i wonder how you even get to RJC.

as for the 2nd last paragraph, derek's english sux? good god i think you and your stupid senior the biatch wee shu min sux more. 18 and 17 years old trying to act like a person who tasted wat life is all abt. i feel shame for your parents trying to bring up a useless trash of society. being RJC big fark? any ITE person with a good attitude can beat you hands down anytime. tats the truth of society.

and yes you are just another human on this earth. so dun go around thinking like you are one big fark just coz you are form a stereotyped "higher level" junior college. what is JC when you havent even worked in your pathetic life time. all you stupid kids do is mug mug mug for exams and trying to get good grades so your mummy and daddy wun cut your allowance(now TATS stereotypical lol). cool eh? so a suggestion to all the kiddies who read this. think before you write/do. consequences could be dire.

HAVING GOOD GRADES AND BEING IN A FAMOUSE SCHOOL DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE A FUGGING ELITE MORONS SO DIGEST TAT INTO YOUR FUCKING BRAIN ASSHOLES! ELITES ARE THOSE WHO HAVE REPUTATION AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE GROWTH OF SOCIETY/COUNTRY/ETC. ALL YOU KIDDIES DO ARE BUT MUGGING FOR EXAMS AND YOU CALL YOURSELF ELITES? JEEZ! BURN IN HELL BABY!
and burn rjc too. bunch of weakos

all rjcs ppl are now official condemned by me until proven worthy for respect otherwise

the middle bitch is WEE SHU MIN

this post of mine is to comment on what a dumb shit said in her blog
below is a quote from her blog(which happened to close right after it was exposed.)

Thursday, October 19, 2006
mom's friend sent her some blog post by some bleeding stupid 40-year old singaporean called derek wee (WHY do all the idiots have my surname why?!) whining about how singapore is such an insecure place, how old ppl (ie, 40 and above) fear for their jobs, how the pool of foreign "talent" (dismissively chucked between inverted commas) is really a tsunami that will consume us all (no actually he didn't say that, he probably said Fouren Talern Bery Bad.), how the reason why no one wants kids is that they're a liability in this world of fragile ricebowls, how the government really needs to save us from inevitable doom but they aren't because they are stick-shoved-up-ass elites who have no idea how the world works, yadayadayadayada.
i am inclined - too much, perhaps - to dismiss such people as crackpots. stupid crackpots. the sadder class. too often singaporeans - both the neighborhood poor and the red-taloned socialites - kid themselves into believing that our society, like most others, is compartmentalized by breeding. ridiculous. we are a tyranny of the capable and the clever, and the only other class is the complement.
sad derek attracted more than 50 comments praising him for his poignant views, joining him in a chorus of complaints that climax at the accusation of lack of press freedom because his all-too-true views had been rejected by the straits times forum. while i tend to gripe about how we only have one functioning newspaper too, i think the main reason for its lack of publication was that his incensed diatribe was written in pathetic little scraps that passed off as sentences, with poor spelling and no grammar.
derek, derek, derek darling, how can you expect to have an iron ricebowl or a solid future if you cannot spell?
if you're not good enough, life will kick you in the balls. that's just how things go. there's no point in lambasting the government for making our society one that is, i quote, "far too survival of fittest". it's the same everywhere. yes discrimination exists, and it is sad, but most of the time if people would prefer hiring other people over you, it's because they're better. it's so sad when people like old derek lament the kind of world that singapore will be if we make it so uncertain. go be friggin communist, if uncertainty of success offends you so much - you will certainly be poor and miserable. unless you are an arm-twisting commie bully, which, given your whiny middle-class undereducated penchant, i doubt.
then again, it's easy for me to say. my future isn't certain but i guess right now it's a lot brighter than most people's. derek will read this and brand me as an 18-year old elite, one of the sinners who will inherit the country and run his stock to the gutter. go ahead. the world is about winners and losers. it's only sad when people who could be winners are marginalised and oppressed. is dear derek starving? has dear derek been denied an education? has dear derek been forced into child prostitution? has dear derek had his clan massacred by the government?
i should think not. dear derek is one of many wretched, undermotivated, overassuming leeches in our country, and in this world. one of those who would prefer to be unemployed and wax lyrical about how his myriad talents are being abandoned for the foreigner's, instead of earning a decent, stable living as a sales assistant. it's not even about being a road sweeper. these shitbags don't want anything without "manager" and a name card.
please, get out of my elite uncaring face.

if you didn't know, she was commenting on another person's commentary. This commentor's name is Derek Wee. Below are his words.

By Derek Wee
Oct 12, 2006
When I read the Straits Times article (dated 24 Sep) on PM Lee calling the young to be committed and make a difference to Singapore, I have so much thought about the issue.
I am 35 years old, graduated from University and gainfully employed in a multinational company. But I cannot help but feel insecure over the future of Singapore. Lets face it, it's not uncommon to hear, "when you are above 40, you are over the hill".
The government has been stressing on re-training, skills upgrading and re-adapt. The fact is, no matter how well qualified or adaptable one is, once you hit the magical 40, employers will say, "you are simply too old".
We have been focusing our resources and problem solving on low unskilled labour. But in reality, our managerial positions and skilled labour force are actually fast losing its competitiveness.
I travel around the region frequently for the past 10 years. It didn't take me long to realise how far our neighbours have come over the past decade.
They have quality skilled workers, and are less expensive. When I work with them, their analytical skills are equally good, if not better than us.
It's not new anymore. Taxi drivers are fast becoming "too early to retire, too old to work" segment of the society. I like to talk to taxi drivers whenever I am heading for the airport.
There was this driver. Eloquent and well read. He was an export manager for 12 years with an MNC. Retrenched at 40 years old. He had been searching for a job since his retrenchment.
Although he was willing to lower his pay expectations, employers were not willing to lower their prejudice. He was deemed too old. I wouldn't be surprised if we have another No. 1; having the most highly educated taxi drivers in the world.
On PM Lee calling the young to be committed and make a difference. Look around us. How dedicated can we be to Singapore when we can visualise what's in store for us after we turned 40? Then again, how committed are employers to us? But we can't blame them. They have bottom lines & shareholders' gain to answer to.
Onus is really on the government to revamp the society. A society that is not a pressure cooker. A society that does not mirror so perfectly, what survival of the fittest is.
But a society, where it's people can be committed, do their best and not having to fear whether they will still wake up employed tomorrow. Sadly, Singapore does not offer such luxuries and security anymore.
On the issue of babies. The government encourages us to pro-create. The next generation is essential in sustaining our competitive edge. Then again, the current market condition is such that our future has become uncertain. There is no more joy in having babies anymore; they have become more of a liability. It's really a chicken and egg issue.
Many of my peers, bright and well educated have packed up and left. It's what MM Goh called "quitters". It's sad but true, Singapore no longer is a place where one can hope to work hard their lives and retire graciously. It's really the push factor.
A future is something we sweat it out, build and call our own. Unfortunately, people like me, mid 30's going on 40's, staying put by choice or otherwise, we can't help but feel what lies ahead is really a gamble.
To PM Lee and the Ministers, we are on a different platform. Until you truly understand our insecurity, the future of Singapore to me remains a question mark.

all quotes are taken from here.

now its time for me to comment on this. the first time i saw this being posted in EDMW, i was so damn fugging dulan. i was wondering who is this fugging bitch? 18 years old talking like she is the ruler of the world.

...called derek wee (WHY do all the idiots have my surname why?!) whining...

WOW! so being a so called elite from one of the top schools gives you the right to call other ppl who are expressing their views a idiot? how great this world has become. i really want to say "go fuck your f*****" or something but i guess i better not. dun play play with the law hahahah. dun think so highly of yourself bitch. you havent even reach the age to watch R(A) flims yet. being successful not DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE FUTURE. to add on, lemme comment that your parents have failed to miserably to teach you some good moral education. now we even have discrimination against names. how nice~

im really bad at commenting on others other then telling them to go fug spider or hong gao kan or soemthing.

some wat you wrote, you are just portraiting yourself as a morally uneducated hypocritical asshole. you talk like you know the world when you just went thru like 18 years in your tiny red dot on the map. you really think you are so smart? dream on gal. i bet in your pathetic 18 years of life you are just being sheltered by your so call elitism just coz you are born in a MP family. so being a MP daughter is so big fug you can anyhow go whack on other ppl's commentary with no restrictions? wtf man. and wtf is MOE thinking? consultation for this only? double standard for sure.

please, get out of my elite uncaring face.

and finally to your last sentence. pls go fug spider stupid bitch. you're just a name riding useless slug who haven't even exprience wat life is all about. just one more thing
I'm 1337er than you peebrain

Edit: i got the statement from the fugging father of tat fugging bitch

Oct 24, 2006

A lesson learnt, says MP and dad Wee Siew Kim

Teen blogger counselled for her 'elitist' remarks

'WHAT she said did come across as insensitive. The language was stronger than what most people could take.

But she wrote in a private blog and I feel that her privacy has been violated. After all, they were the rantings of an 18-year-old among friends.

I think if you cut through the insensitivity of the language, her basic point is reasonable, that is, that a well-educated university graduate who works for a multinational company should not be bemoaning about the Government and get on with the challenges in life.

Nonetheless, I have counselled her to learn from it. Some people cannot take the brutal truth and that sort of language, so she ought to learn from it.

In our current desire to encourage more debate, especially through the Internet, our comments must be tempered with sensitivity.

I will not gag her, since she's 18 and should be able to stand by what she says.

The new media of the Internet is such that if you don't like what she has said, you have the right of rebuttal.

Hopefully, after the discussion, everyone will be the richer for it. As a parent, I may not have inculcated the appropriate level of sensitivity, but she has learnt a lesson, and it's good that she has learnt it at such an early stage in life.'
ANG MO KIO GRC MP WEE SIEW KIM on his daughter's comments

YA RITE! SO ALL THIS IS SO FUGGING COVER UP BULLSHIT JUST COZ YOU ARE A FUGGING WHITE SHIRT WORKER FUGGING CHIBAI! YOUR DAUGHTER SHOULD BE THROWN INTO THE NILE RIVER FOR BEING SUCH A LOW EQ BITCH AT THE AGE OF 18. DUN GIMME THE BULLSHIT 18 YEARS OLD IS YOUNG. THERE IS NOT SUCH THING AS PRIVATE BLOG YOU OLD MORON. THE INTERNET IS FOR THE MASSES. IF YOU WANT TO BE PRIVATE TELL TAT BITCH OF YOURS TO WRITE IN A FUGGING DIARY. VIOLATED HER PRIVACY MY LANJIAO. I COULD JOLLY WELL SAY SHE VIOLATED MY PRINCIPLES COZ I HATE FUGGING BITCH LIKE HER AND I COULD FUG HER UPSIDE DOWN IN MY BLOG. YOU BEING THE OUTSIDER WHO COME IN HERE AND DI SIAO SIAO IS ALSO VIOLATING MY PRIVACY(IF YOU ARE READING THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE) SHE SHOULD BE THROWN IN TO JAIL LIKE THOSE RACIST BLOGGERS. BEING A DAUGHTER OF A STUPID MP DOES NOT GIVE HER THE RIGHT TO BE ARROGANT ABOUT ALL THIS. SO SCREW YOU UNDERSTAND? AND YES I'M REBUTTING NOW. I TELL THIS BITCH TO GO HONG KAO KANG AND YOU FAILED MISERABLY AS A PARENT AND MP.

W7J REVIEW WITH PICS!

2006-07-27T17:04:00.000+10:00

This is the BOX.

All the included accessories:
1) Quick start manual + quick installation quide
2) LCD Screen Cleaning cloth. very handy.
3) Telephone Cable. for connecting through the inbuild 56kpbs modem
4) Asus Global direct business service centre contact list card.
5) An unknown wire to me. one head is PS2 port like. and the other is a female composite type(one head)
6) 2x AAA 800mAh rechargable batteries
7) white Bluetooth mose. this mouse comes with a USB recharging cable so you can recharge the mouse battary when you connect the mouse to the laptop or another computer.
8) additional 6cell battary(white)
9) AV adapter and power cord,
10) the CDs including Winxp PRO recovery CD.

the main character is out!

Open sesame! the laptop finishing is sleek and it feels very nice to touch. however the hinge dun feel very solid when i open it as compared to the S6F model. also another point to take note is the touchpad. if you got sweaty palm, or wet fingers, the touchpad can get alittle sticky feeling. not much of a problem actually.

the left side of the lappy. starting from the left is: Ethernet socket, Tel socket, USB2.0 socket, DVD drive and SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO card slot. no card adapter is provided so if you using those smaller versions of the 4 cards mentioned you have to buy your own one.

the back view.The ASUS logo quite nice looking against the white backing :D again from the left: AC power socket, socket for the unknown wire, 6 call battery, USB2.0 socket, the hole to put laptop locks one.

The right view of the lappy. from the left we have: express slot on the top, volume control, audiojack, mic, optical audio, air ventilation, USB2.0 socket and video out to monitor socket.

the switch for wireless/BT and the round button is for toggling between the various power saving modes as said by the manual. i have yet to try it out. as for the BT/wireless swtich, too bad they dun have individual ones. its a switch to turn on BOTH. if you want to switch off either one, you have to do it in the computer itself.

the power switch. as for design wise i think i still prefer the W5F round power button. looks cooler :D

the 1.3mega pixel camera. for web cam or self shot purposes. very nice addon and very handy too :D especially for those ppl going overseas like me. can have video conferencing with family back in SG without having to buy another webcam with all the extra wires.

the notebook sleeve by asus.included in the package.

laptop bag provided by ASUS. its a Targus brand bag. also included in the package

this is all for the physical review. more to come later on after i finish playing around with the software :D
