Oh my, I can't believe this thing only reached the net now (it's from 2004). Anyway, was reading the Intelligent Singaporean when I saw this:

A Passage to Bali

2007-04-16T23:28:00.000+08:00

(Warning: this is a bloody long post)

Alright, half a moon ago, I went to Bali on a working holiday. My sister, the centre of gravity in the family (cos she’s the prime earner of this social unit) decided that she’s gonna celebrate the ending of her semester at SMU, where she’s taking a suicidal two-year Masters of Science in Accounting course.
Of course, a minor difficulty was that I had three papers to hand on the week I’m supposed to go to Bali, and had a History research paper due two days after I came back from that island. The result is being forced to work in the airport, on the flight, and in the hotel at night.

my workstation in the hotel: right beside the sink. And no, this is not loserish

Still, Bali (meaning ‘offering’ or ‘come back’ in local language) is a pretty nice place. Bowing down to the usual practice of using Singapore as a size of measurement, Bali is roughly eight little dots on the map.

placed here as a tribute to Lonely Planet
The people had ‘modernized’, however, and no longer goes around topless *ignores deafening chorus of groans*. Unfortunately (or fortunately for my history paper) we could only visit that island for 4 days 3 nights, and only had time for visiting the southeastern portions of the place (i.e., the more touristy places).
We stayed at Taman Ayu Cottages, Kerobokan, Kuta.

This being a budget trip (total fee for 4 people, including the mandatory climax at the DFS liquor store, amounts to less than $2,500, despite unrestrained spending), we stayed at their cheapest room.

Taman Ayu Cottages’ cheapest room

This being Bali, you only go for five types of tours: spa, beach-and-surfing, cultural, hunting-for-natives-in-local-grab, or some mix thereof. As this trip was planned by my sister, we went for a cultural thingy, and spent only two hours browsing in Kuta, the major bom- er, shopping district. Shopperholic Synonymous members should enjoy that district though; it’s quite small, but apparently some of the stores there sell some unique and classy stuff, with the only problem being that they target ang mos rather than Asians, but this means well-grown people should have a nice time there.

Kuta beach. It’s bloody crowded, though

Another thing: Bali’s tour guides are an inextinguishable source of local information. They’ll spam information (in a good way), especially about Balinese culture, telling you much more than you can be reasonably be expected to remember or want to know, unless you’re a history student specializing in Southeast Asia.

These guides are bloody polyglots. For example, my first-day guide (pictured above, with funny head thingy) was a near-sixty granddad. At that age, he just mastered Chinese as a spoken language less than half a year ago (according to him, at least) and speaks Balinese, English, French, German, Russian and Japanese to various other groups of people we met. Bloody hell. Of course, Differential Opportunities theory applies here as well, and some of the other guides’ command of spoken English… well, just say that if PROSE members are there, they will suffer repeated multiple strokes.

Anyway, the first thing you’ll notice in Bali, right after the sometimes flooded, usually narrow and always atmospheric roads, is the preponderance of rice fields.

Some of these fields have been cultivated for centuries, if the guides are to be trusted, and they lend a relaxed, tranquil ambiance to the air. Irrigation channels run everywhere. Apparently, the conditions are good enough that the Balinese are able to harvest up to three times a year. That seems to be a pretty high yield. The state government is too selling land with ownership up to 30 or 40 years, so those who likes to feel nostalgic (i.e. lie to themselves) about old, outmoded, edenic rural communities, you probably have a prime candidate for relocation…

Generally, the people of Bali marketed their culture and way of life for tourism. This means, for the inquisitive tourist, good things and bad things. The bad thing (among others) is, obviously, a commodified culture naturally means an additional variable to the original culture itself, and selling culture is different from just culture itself. When people interested in studying culture gets there, what you get is a modified, different culture rather than a less tempered product. This adds an additional interpretative layer to the object of study, and may well irk purists (no, I am NOT going into the Carr-Elton debate here).
The good thing is that there are no completely fabricated tourist traps here; there’s no need to construct those, as Bali had a pretty rich tradition to draw from. You get to peek into the everyday lives of the locals. There’s dozens of temple festivals, and their religion, a kind of Balinese Hinduism that emphasizes the worship of the three highest Hindu deities, Brahma (often represented by yellow or red), Vishnu (represented by white) and Shiva (by black). They wrapped checkered cloths on holy trees and around statues found on bridges, roundabouts, house entrances, etc, as to represent ‘holiness’.

Religion is inherent in their lives. Every day, before businesses open up, their owners will perform some ritual in front the shrines in front of every Hindu store.

They even put flowers from such rituals in the tour conversion van, although I suspect this may merely be an attempt to impress the tourists on the cultural internalization of the average Balinese. Culture is an important selling point of Bali, after all.

We stumbled upon some festival (I forgotten exactly which of their untold myriad of festivals) and saw these decorations on their streets:

On a related side note, this religio-cultural relationship spiraled into an intriguing focus, which decent, wholesome people like me believe is best represented by pictures:

Many know the great name of Sigmund Freud, but few knows the Austrian’s works were inspired by what he saw in Bali. And yes, the picture on the bottom right shows a man holding a huge knife staring maliciously at a woody.

Their architecture style is similar to the Buddhist kingdoms in Southeast Asia.

However, the symbolism behind the very similar style is different, at least, according to my sister, who is the familial expert on non-violent aspects of classical Southeast Asian history (she corrected our tourguide on a couple of occasions. Beware). For example, the number of levels in a roof has different meanings for the Balinese.
Roofs with two levels are dedicated to appease malign spirits, while those with odd numbers are for good spirits, ancestors or gods.

on the extreme left, for appeasing malign spirits

for worshipping ancestors

Anyway, the length of this post is getting way out of hand, and I’m just gonna throw many architectural pics at you.

Some typical Balinese house pics

Note that even a normal-class Balinese home has a courtyard just for religious ceremonies

We, as is mandatory for tours these days, visited the Bali’s cultural-tourist-industrial complex. Bali’s tour guides are an integral component of this complex, since they will bring you to all the traditional batik, wood-craving, oil painting, silversmithing trades, in the hopes that you’ll buy something from there. To give them their due, these handicrafts are certainly impressive, both in quality and in price.

Bloody beautiful, but the cheapest hankerchief-sized batik cost Rp 250,000. That’s S$ 40 minimum. Hell and Damnation

Other traditional stuff. The key here is to offer a third of the prize listed on the price tag. You may actually get that price.

Okay, this is really getting ridiculously long, so, to summarize, we visited a recently rediscovered 7th Century cave,

the Elephant Cave

saw the omnipresent phallic symbols inside it,

representing Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma

and met a genuine wise man paying a visit there

No tricksies! All Hail the Wise Man!

We went to some spice plantations,

and went to an active volcano which had scored a few thousand kills. The restaurant there isn’t anything special though, and its entrance is plagued with a bunch of endearing but pro-active and persevering hawkers.

We too visited a centuries-old temple, destroyed by another volcanic eruption in 1963 and restored (a.k.a. rebuilt) later on. Pretty big, but no Angkor Wat.

Finally, we visited an ancient Balinese court of justice.

the waiting room,

and the court itself

Just one last bit: for the wine lovers, the Balinese red wine tasted like the Vietnamese red wine Junming gave me: you need to mix it with ice water to dilute it in order to make it drinkable. Only drink it if you’re open-minded like Leon Trotsky. Their white wine tasted like hard liquor, with 40% alcohol. They ask you to squeeze lime in it, so that it will at least have a hint of lime. You can somewhat duplicate it back home by mixing really bad whiskey with lime juice. Of course, this comes with the corollary: don’t try this at home.
Lastly, a final piece, I promise. If you visit Bali and stay in Kerobokan, Kuta in Bali, take a taxi to this excellent bar called Tu’u Bar. It will cost about S$30 per person, but the food and the service there is bloody astonishing. It’s probably the best food I’ve eaten since Ding Tai Feng in Taipei.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures. Bali is somewhat worth it for screwing up a Chinese history research essay, and that’s really saying something.

it’s corkscrewed, actually. that’s probably even worse than normal screwing

Okay, finally signing off on. Cya buggers.

Some of you may be wondering about the lack of material being spammed on this blog for a long, long time. For months on end, emptiness has filled this blog, giving the impression that nothing is being generated.

This is not true.

Dring all this time, nothing is being collected. You see, nothing, while meaning an avsence of anything, and in theory defines the concept of, well, nothing, is still nonetheless a concept. It is there. You can feel it. How else do you acknowledge its existence? Nothing, thus, is something.

There is good empirical proof that nothing exists.
Look inside your heads, everyone.

Undoctored view inside your head.
See?
Nothing.

Anyway, the whole point was that the nothingness was intentional. Honest. Nothing was being collected, after all. In all honesty (which I possess in spades, honest) I have been studying nothing for the past months. Hence, nothing has been done in this blog.

So you ask, what great secrets had you, exactly, managed to divulge by studying nothing? Well, it's a pretty long paper, and since I'm planning to use it for my thesis I can't really publish it on a blog, but I guess I can drop and few quotes here and there....

*ahem*
From the introduction:
"However, nothing as a phenomenon must in necessity have roots stemming from root factors, such as causation, and an examination of such roots can possibly reveal the linkages that underline the occurence of the said phenomenon."

From the philosophical mumblings:
"...and thus, nihlism is not a form of nothing, for reasons other than it involves a process where transition occurs. To summarize this succinctly and analogically, nihilism is similar to ( ). It is nothing. Such recognition, obviously, could only be made possible by the existence of something, or anything, else it would be everything. The brackets give the spaces within it meaning. Stretching a certain dead German's conceptualizations, nothing would not be categorical, but instead, hypothetical."

From the part about literature:
"It is possibly the conception that is the greatest narrativve, poetry and drama at the same time. One must similarly keep in mind the inquiry into pure-nothingness, the sense of emptiness and the emotions of pain swelling in the background, while understanding that such a construction is structurally flawless. Themes of death, love, despair, hope and the imagery of the struggle of the common man is all beautifully crafted into this masterpiece."

From the section on theology:
"It is written that 'the earth was formless and empty' (Y. Elohim, 1). From this, one can infer that gazing into emptiness, or nothing, is like seeing God. And this is without all those millions that George Smoot had to spend."

Hmm. I really shouldn't write anymore, you know. But rest assured that this would indeed make use of multidisciplinary approaches in order to learn more about nothing.

Okay, okay. Back to topic. I will just like to say that all good things must necessarily come to an end (this is not the post to debate that statement), and the beautiful, consumptive nothingness will be interrupted, at least, for a little while.

Cya.

tight tight too tight!

So what's it with the return of robin hood and his men in tights?
EVERYONE in this country is wearing tights (the girls tt is).. though it would be quite fun to see guys in tights ;)

ok. I must say some of them look nice.. but the thing with trends is that when everyone starts wearing them, there is no more novelty in the trend...
and then, we just see replicas all over..

It's like father Abraham's children..
Some are short, some are tall, some are fat, some are skinny....
but they all just look about the same...

My MOM has tights.

This little gem was from one of my friends that got drunk on the returning bus from Berkelah sometime in June. He swore to forego drinking for a year after merlioning a few times, and happily broke his oath after a month or so. Now, he sent me this very enlightening piece of wisdom (as an excuse?) which i must share with all of you...

Drinking is not that bad!

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver."
~ Jack Handy

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Well, Justina has just breached her 21st birthday, that magical barrier dividing youth and auntiehood. Laments about how everything is gonna go downhill from here aside, Justina threw a party that arguably had its moments.

Chris recorded a classic rendition of the old time favourite "Happy Birthday". Click here to hear his remarkable interpretation of the song.

Next, some people seemed to a little tipsy after a bit of wine, as the following pictures tell.

Of course, we shall not go into detail about how Chris went cloud touring after a few bottles of wine and what he subsequently did with Eileen at Zouk. We don't want to embarrass them after all, do we?
For the terminally curious, ask Eileen herself.

Public Service Announcement: Paranormal Activities Detected in NUS Central Library

2006-08-31T03:08:00.000+08:00

Dear readers, it is with urgency that we at fingerinnose must notify you that we have discovered intense paranormal activity in the National University of Singapore’s Central Library, Singapore-Malaysia department.

Unexplained occurrences have recurred at regular rates for some time in the Central Library. The bizarre Time Warp phenomenon, for example, starts every weekday night at 2145 hours, where the next 15 minutes of real time are somehow condensed by complex time-flux into 5 minutes, forcing users to leave 10 minutes before the stipulated closing time of 2200 hours. Hellish music always accompanies this event, leading to suspicions of the involvement of satanic cults, or even Singapore Idol contestants.

More recent suspicions of supranormal goings-ons were first aroused when the academy’s wireless systems abruptly stop functioning as irregular intervals, startling several undergraduates into exclamations of ‘tsk!” and “@##$%!”. Further evidence of otherworldly encounters is the shocking revelation divulged by undisclosed laptop users in the rear area of the department, of the discovery that none of the six power sources there actually worked.
NUS is a world-class university with steadily rising financial inlays, and is well-known even in remote regions like Pasir Ris, Tuas, Woodlands and Pulau Ubin. It is impossible that basic resources like power sources can be malfunctioning in such a prestigious institution. Consequently, the suspicious coincidence of failings recorded above can only have supernatural origins.
Conclusive proof of this ghostly infestation is decisively struck home by this uncanny video publicized below, taken from the problematic area.

It shows an obviously possessed man, aged around 46 years, playing about with Chubby the Alien and some keys. As middle-aged men do not play with aliens, keys, or for the matter, allow themselves to be videoed while playing with aliens and keys, the recording is irrefutable proof that the victim is under third-party influence.

The University has already engaged the specialist organization known to the public as the Singapore Paranormal Investigators, to examine and evaluate the situation. While the SPI has yet to enter the library with their extraordinarily expensive, state-of-the-art equipment that shows white fluffy balls wherever they go, a record of their report has already been leaked by unnamed sources, officially concluding that the department is “creepy”.

It is advised that all human-related activities there, like photocopying RBR books, be halted until the authorities can clear the area of the unwelcomed guests.

UnNews: Iran defies IAU, maintains that Pluto is a planet

2006-08-31T01:59:00.000+08:00

Found this article:
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.

26 August 2006

TEHRAN, Iran -- Days after the International Astronomical Union passed a binding resolution declaring that Pluto is no longer classified as a planet, Iran defiantly maintains that it still is. Astronomers worldwide are shocked at the Middle Eastern country's stubbornness, but are still hoping negotiations will lead to a satisfactory conclusion.

"It is unacceptable to hold on to the belief that the small, icy rock out in the Kuiper Belt is a full-fledged planet," explained IAU chief Buzz Lightyear. Experts say that calling it a "midget planetoid" may be acceptable, but anything beyond that would be crossing the line. Many fear Iran's position on the matter could lead to an interplanetary war.

But Iran's charismatic President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad held a press conference Sunday, boldly sticking to his opinion. "The voice of the people of Iran cannot be silenced. We have chosen to recognize Pluto as a planet, and the Western World must respect our peaceful decision," he announced. He later added, seemingly off-topic, "The Zionist regime must be wiped off the map." Sources say Iran has already rejected a shipment of new school textbooks, which list only 8 planets. Furthermore, they continue listing Charon as "Pluto's moon," further angering scientists.

The IAU is scheduled to report on Iran's astronomical activity by mid-September, at which time the United Nations will meet to discuss possible sanctions. Officials say that the country will almost certainly be found in violation of the latest resolution. Satellite imagery of the Tehran Telescope Array, which was funded exclusively for planetary research, had its lenses aimed directly at Pluto. The IAU used to maintain monitoring equipment at the site, but Iran expelled foreign astronomers months ago.

The United States is readying for a potential showdown with Iran over the issue, with President Bush declaring, "The time for negotiations is quickly running out." Asked why Iran's recognition of Pluto as a planet is a threat to the world, White House press secretary Tony Snow explained, "They could use their planetary research money to mine Pluto and extract plutonium for nucular weapons."

Sparking further worries are rumors that Iran is considering adding the asteroid Ceres and the newly discovered Xena to its list of planets. "Such a move could certainly spark World War III," commented Secretary General of the UN, Kofi Annan.

National Day is sneaking up on us. Before you know it, everyone seems to emit bursts of patriotism that seems as contagious as the Corrupted Blood plague (possibly the coolest event in online gaming until you die 3 times in a row from it) in the World of Warcraft. Of course, the 9th of August also means the National Day Parade, a rather repetitive event with one uplifting highlight: fireworks.

Just as some pretty weird and depressed Dutch fella takes death to reach the stars, we take digicams to let these stars reach you. Fingerinnose is proud to inform you that we have ploughed through mobs and screaming children, which are probably more fearsome than hell and high water, to share with you these footages...

Okay, it's only 6 August and NDP hasn't happened. So, these are not the fireworks from NDP itself. But hello, we have to stand in a noisy, frowning mass for like 20 minutes before the 5 August rehearsal finally got itself underway. Can lah.

Alright, school is, unfortunately, starting in a mere week's time. I am reminded by some nutjob lifescience schoolmate that i should actually do some strange, unexplained activity, called revision.
Of course, being a arts student, this obiviously excludes any form of reading. Any respectable artsman (or artswoman) will instead recall the different ways of logical thinking and understanding common sense.

And i'm quite sure i've found a master in the ways of thinking. Yep, any bugger who actually regularly watch comedy central, or youtube for the matter, will point their finger that this is bloody old.
Well, truthiness travels slowly, and it has only reach me at this time.

Good day to you faithful fingerinnose readers ( already 4 and a half at last count!), we regret to inform you that we have suffered something akin to a terrorist attack. All our previous posts have been lost.

Of course, we are not going to let a little thing like utter deletion of what amounts to nine months of bellyaching bother us.

But please, to all out there, don't trash an innocent blog in a moment of madness. It has done nothing wrong. And many people, writers, readers, nitpickers, etc have all put in their sweat, blood and tears (ok, maybe not the blood) into it.

We thank you for your kind patience in the matter.

So.
We are happy to announcee that fingerinnose is reopening. Or republishing, if you're particular about it. Keep tuning in for more leaf-dropping excitement.

Cheers and
smile always, even if you ain't trying to sell people something.
