Temptation Isteen

NEWSFLASH: NTU SOCCER, SINGAPORE UNI GAMES 2007 CHAMPIONS.

staying in hall has its downsides; no 24/7 access to my fridge of ben&jerry's, no freedom of scv channels, no newspapers..i realised im getting detached from the world outside, losing track of my surroundings. was only recently told of the now-famous RI teacher who posted on his blog a declaration of his homosexuality. it supposedly created such a stir that his blog hits momentarily, for a few hours rivalled Singapore's Next Top Blog and he was forced to remove it by 'higher powers'. (read it here) the 3 main takeaway i got from the post:

(1) why does he speak like he's some superhero, in that his declaration is crucial to the basic existence of mankind. as if him coming out of the closet is akin to spidey removing his mask.
(2) first he said "The teachings of the world’s great religious traditions offer many words of wisdom, but the interpretations of their human followers are not infallible." then he went on to say "As Jesus said in his Sermon on the Mount, we must love our neighbors as ourselves. It is a simple teaching, but one that’s rarely followed by those who seek to oppress people different from themselves." if he's going to talk about others' wrong interpretations, his attempt to interpret anything shouldn't be as horribly wrong and out of context as what he posted.
(3) and on his gayness, how would he have come about if his dad ended up with the kopitiam uncle instead. sorry but i'm a true-blue advocate of heterosexuality and no, i don't believe you can be born gay, it's 100% nurture. his RI students have come out saying they will 'always be behind him'. it's probably cause being infront of him exposes themselves to potentially penetrating trouble.

on a lighter note, a new series of Temptation Isteen is about to be launched on Bigbros. in Episode 1, Temptation Isteen: Canteen 2.
not-so-secret location: hall 2.
add-on oomph: atm, barber, supermarket.
myriad of temptations: waffle, western food, residents of sports and high-profiled halls 2 & 6, sportsmen and women from SRC in their singlets and sportswear showing off their toned and rippling muscles(at times coated with perspiration, if you're lucky.), and soccer guys.
celebrity equivalent who'll be spotted there: Becks and Posh Spice, Maria Sharapova.

overview: with the draw of high-profiled sporting players and their hot bods that accompany, canteen 2 is undoubtedly becoming the place to be seen, especially at dinner and supper times after training sessions.
Temptation Isteen Factor: 9.1/10
