Just finished Diablo 3 on normal difficulty. It is an interesting story. Not good but reasonably interesting. Mmmmm... I am much much more intrigued by the lore though. I am always interested in lore.
Anyway, so much things have happened recently. Death has never seem so close to our every day life and the repercussions of is impacting my life on so many levels. The streets suddenly feel a lot more hostile than before and Facebook a much sadder place than usual.
The last time trying to comment about it here has lead to unforeseen problems. Fortunately, I made editing in time to avoid any trouble.
Since I cannot comment about one incident, I shall comment about the other. You see, sometimes, it is scary how Singaporeans react about something involving PRC Chinese. I have many Singaporean friends and I would say that in general, Singaporeans are a great bunch of people (of course, no matter where/when/who you are, you meet an asshole once in a while). It is just the sense of rejection they sometimes show towards us that is scary. It is hard to describe. It is not really hate but more like fear. The fear of a completely different yet very similar culture. The fear of assimilation perhaps? Or the fear being being grouped together with us? Can it be considered as a culture phenomenon? Perhaps a complex? Or perhaps something else. I can understand, yet there's so much more mystery in it. Sigh... Both sides are like my home now... The only thing I know is, neither sides are wrong. While a person may be wrong, a culture is never "wrong".
I just hope that I will not lose any friend because of incidents like this. That would be really sad... Or maybe I already have... Haha...
Oh, and finally, a really well made video series. It's something like the gathering of all awesome video makers on Youtube. Check it out!
