Triglyphs n Metopes

back home when there was once a small naive little kid in primary 6 one day in dat galaxy far far away...i found out dat everything a person writes has to make sense n be coherent...or at least follow a logical thought process throughout..like for example a conversation, essay or composition...

dats e process we r tot in sch thruout our years in e 'official' education system..den i came to Australia to study in a land dat is so far removed (from e time of Adam aparentli) from my own culture n world view..n wat do i find? dat pple here in a UNIVERSITY..no less..put together words like Triglyph, Metope, Pediment n listen to dis sh*t...Non-peripetal and Pan-athenaic...(i dun even noe wat these words mean n neither would Shakespeare i believe)..in a manner dat just does not make any sense...


like "the Greeks believed the Metope should be allowed to overflow its bounds, carvings seem to flow fluidly over boundaries on a classical relief and no constraints imposed was the essence of the ultimate Hellenistic Classicism that was about Greek freedom very soon after the Romans then took over but did not introduce any new developments(which is a key symbol of their authoritarian n Patrician behaviour), leading to social decline followed such creative stagnation"....sounds f***in Cheem, makes no grammatical sense if u think about it n definiteli should not b e kind of stupid argument w/o evidence a uni student shd give...


that piece got
High Distinction... wats wrong with Singapore? why can't they just allow us to talk crap like dat w/o consequences n w/o justification of wat we say?we r losin out 2 these cocks who can't even string words 2gether dat make reasonabl sense..its horridly Unreasonable.....

tell mi wats so wrong with our pesudo-Western/Eastern mix of cultures in Singapore, exemplified by e use of Singlish dat makes us seem 2 lose out? in other ages, such fusion (ang mo for Rojak) would b called Justinian Synthesis, Romanesque or Renaissance...why not our age n culture? Let SInglish be the new "Western-esque" language of the world n Singapore! n stop all e in e modern world people are rational and behave/speak logically...they dun lor...
