real vs reel...

these days... it's hard to say what's real and what's surreal... most of these things would fit snugly into any daytime soap / channel 8 drama / b-grade movie / straight to video movies... the following incidents will help prove my point...

firstly, starting with the least important event... fredinand, world famous defender playing for equally famous club man-u... okie... the big hoo-haa revolves around his contract signing...
question: would you sign a contract that gives you 100,000 pounds a week?
answer: most people would... fredinand would try to push it up to 120,000 pounds a week...
question: what do you need so much money for???
answer: run your own army???
maybe he just lives in a very expensive world... honestly... would someone jeopardise his bright *bling bling* future at man-u just because they refuse to pay him an additional 20,000 pounds??? sure it's a huge amount... but it's hardly worth the risk... especially since the person who is egging him on is the money sucking agent...

second incident... this may seem as a less important incident but at least this doesn't concern alot of money... it's concerns sentiments... so it's more important...
it's concerning the hijacking of blogs... inculding the world famous blog xiaxue's... i cannot actually believe that people in singapore are free enough to hijack then leave a mean remark on the blog of people... *opps* maybe the person is not singaporean... maybe it's some creep from who-knoes-where with no job and too much free time... singapore is really somewhere where everything makes the papers... at least they didn't put it on the front page... when in your primary school education did your teacher tell you that taking revenge by defacing other people stuff is an acceptable way to settle a difference/misunderstanding??? personelly... if it happened i must have slept through that one particular class...

the last one is the most important too... it would feel trivialised by the above incidents... but i'm sure i wouldn't downplay it's impact...
the last incident is the recent bombing of the london tube... terrorism is indeed the way to get the attention of your local goverment now... i'm not sure what they teach in terrorism primary school but i'm sure the way they taught us in my primary school to reach out to our government was to write a letter... a normal one... not one laced with anthrax... so does bombing an area and killing many many people really achieve the expected results that the terrorist set out to achieve??? lets's see... after the bombing... usually the bomber dies in the explosion leaving the family to do an underground funeral but his worth is now zlitch, security is heighten making it harder to meet, some guy from overseas hiding in a cave takes responsibilty laughing at the state of the governement in some video... but i guess they did it for some higher calling... but personelly... i hope someone reads this and tells the terrorist they know and let them know that a normal letter is sufficient... imagine... who would let you do anything important if your main aim in live is to blow up yourself and kill many many people around you??? i bet they didn't tell you this in terrorist primary school...

some real world solutions to the above mentioned reel world events...

for the first one... fredinand unless you are going to donate the 20,000 pounds to the nkf every month don't be such a fool and push for it... you are replaceable in the eyes of the glazer brothers...
for the second one... plz... hijacking blogs happen to be a chargable offence... and i'm very proud of the police force in singapore... they will find you sooner or later... just set up your own world famous blog and blast her back...
for the third one... i think i said it already... write a normal letter... i think the governments involved will take you more seriously since you know how to value live... you would also last long enough to see the future that is your goal...
