eat, breathe, sleep and shit

united nations. hahas... i feel like a historian. though i actually take history, i've never felt more like it than now.---while doing GP. how ironic yea? i actually start taking interest in the united nations onli after receiving a GP assignment. all the while it was in my syllabus, but i dun give 2 hoots about that. i'm such an ass. how complicated can the UN actually get. but too bad. all the reserch i'm actually doing now wif candice and becca are actually going to be useless for our cursed paper 3--cold war history. but i am contented nonetheless. how i wish i was born earlier. (just between the period after the WWII and the collapse of the communist bloc) this way i could see all the brilliant history of mankind unfolding, including the independence of singapore!! but alas, i had to be born in this day when all history is making of itself is accidents like plane crashing into buildings and and some american president deciding to take a walk in the middle east. where's the conflict? when everyone succumbs and shuts up, the world beats wif america's pulse. and UN along wif all its glorious and ambitious charters are reduced to some sars-fighting, money-lending, peace-keeping body. wat a shame. as we discuss the role of the UN being as an instrument, an arena or an actor, cant help feeling the UN being an instrument of the rest-of-the-world (except USA) to act like they're protesting against some US-led missions so that the people of the rest-of-the-world will feel like their govt is righteous and trying to stop the US. being an arena for endless cock-talking, wif no real substantial actions except literally "bombing food" to people who would fight for them. and being an actor--no doubt--in the literal sense---ACTING like they're doing something. wow. i AM impressed indeed. LET ME GO BACK TO THE PAST!!~
