Journey into the next chapter…

LATEST UPDATE:
You will not believe some of the vitrol that has been unleashed against him at SPUG and this blog .Even worse, the outrage against Cheng Zhan has spilled over from the Singapore blogsphere to the Sunday Times today.Large pic of him with interviews of his friends, former classmates and his parents defending him, saying it is not his nature, that he volunteered in Nepal etc etc.
They all say he meant it as a joke.
A joke? I know a joke when i see it I seriously doubt he is joking.
I am praying his parents do not overlook this and treat it as a folly of youth. I honestly think their son has serious issues and its best they face up to it and address it.

That said, I do feel sorry for the guy. Yes, I was equally out-raged by his racism and bigotry BUT to turn it into a witchhunt? I was totally stunned when i read the article in Sunday Times. Apparently one enraged blogger collated all his posts and sent it to the media. Scary.

This will be a really hard lesson for him to learn. (i am hoping he learns)
While the people at SPUG are crying for the PSC scholar to lose his scholarship, my point is, what will that achieve?

To all the youths at PP, learn from this. What you blog reflects who you are.

[original entry]

I am amazed by how so many people think that they can stay hidden on the internet. As such, they blog with wild abandon and with half-baked thoughts and incriminating monologues, thinking that they can hide cowardly behind a password protected page.

Well, in a continuation of my previous post, more gems from his blog. (several other blogs and local forums are having heated discussions about him now. It’s a matter of time before he will be forced to shut down his blog).

Urgent: please return to the river ganges.
Dear Vivek,
you’re an utter pain in the arse.
i request that you ugly species vacate this planet. moreover, since your surface area is so huge yet your brain so small and useless, you are a mere waste of precious resources.

if you sincerely believe that our miraculous miracles is Cleopatra and you are Mark Anthony reigning in the Caesar Forum in Rome, by all means, go forth and propose your “constitutional amendments” to your “populous.”

if not, i suggest you smelly goon return to Madras. (oh yah, you aren’t even from singapore…and you’re running for Singaporean club president~). back in your alleys, you can stink and rot for all you want and be the “forefather” of your own generation of indian bah boo singhs who irritate the hell out of me.

i pray to the god of vishnu that you will be washed into the abyss of the river ganges, where its so dark that even you cannot be seen!

vanakam~~

(help…who turned off the lights)

ahhhh~ that was a good break from my thesis.

reading xangas…n came across some entries where my friends were talking about serious stuff and how they feel about things. n looking at it all…i’m like “wooo…these ppl are really accomplished. the true PSC scholars who have brains and can make a difference to the world and to the causes they fight and stand for”….
so in response, of course i have to demonstrate how frivolous i am and how stupid PSC has been to give me the scholarship…heheheh. being frivolous is just so me…

My point is, WATCH WHAT YOU DO OR SAY on the internet.

In our Christian walk with God, we are asked to live our life in a “Fish Bowl” where we have to be consistent.
Well, that is certainly the case with the internet.

I just hope and pray that ChengZhan will realise how wrong he has been learn from this experience before he gets censured by PSC.

It’s times like these that the application of “Love thy neighbour as thyself” is really tested.
Man, I sooo wish i could slap him a few times and get his PSC scholarship revoked and have him publicly shamed.

But *slaps myself*, I know I should not be having such thoughts.
Guess that is one more entry into my prayer journal.
