Good to see you keep your sense of humor in all this. :o) Hang tough, my friend. This can't last forever (can it?)... And, if anything, you can shoot at them sparrows and pigeons with the rubber band, too. ;o)Smorghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604438508775705758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10445703.post-4230123343019977502010-05-21T15:38:03.590+07:002010-05-21T15:38:03.590+07:00You know Brunty….

Central just got renovated, and it’s all gone to waste now. What a waste. It was most frustrating when watching some YouTube videos, the protestors actually clapped and cheered when the building was torched. At the end of the day, it will be us, taxpayers’ money to clean up the mess. Guess the protestors don’t know shit about tax, and don’t even pay tax.Jewiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751027506601215077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10445703.post-64046712597379915442010-05-21T08:46:30.789+07:002010-05-21T08:46:30.789+07:00Jewie great pics and it is really hard to comprehe...Jewie great pics and it is really hard to comprehend what they have done. I have been to Central World and for it to be destroyed is so hard to get your head around.<br /><br />As you said, "Wickedly, excitement did surround me as no one in Singapore will have the correct ball specification to do such a thing."<br /><br />In nearly any other country including Australia the protest wouldn't have lasted a few days the way they did it. Australia wouldn't have let them block off roads as they did and set up barricades.<br /><br />Police and special task force would have been sent in and it would have been very nasty. And so it should.<br /><br />The Thai PM was too slow and should have stopped the protest in the first week. Then the Central World and all the government buildings across Thailand wouldn't be burnt to the ground.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and keep safe, hope you get your money, have plenty of ciggs, and enough food.<br /><br />BruntyBruntyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15834787635724207227noreply@blogger.com
