Ideas are dangerous things, and it spreads like a virus sounds familiar... Like religion. The movie was good like 4/5 but I really though it was markedly parallel to shutter island. Come on, Leonardo dicaprio, alternate reality, psychotic suicidal wife that appears in dreams, unresolved endings and mind bursting work of figuring out what's real and what's not. All to similar to be due to pure coincidence.

19th July was investiture of the 35ths and the night before I was shivering with excitement. I could feel my enthusiasm and energy sapped away by the burden of my badge and yet none of the 34 ths gave me the support and acceptance that I longed for. I had waited for this day to come when I could lose the reason to a certain measure to resent my fellow 34 ths for their disdain. And it was only a week before at PAC I realised that I can never be one of them for ideological reasons. I can never belong to the upper class nobility that most Christians are. I can never be as immersed into christian pop future as them. I can never agree with their logic and way of life. And I have realised that my hopes for entering the first ever Christian community willing to accept me was dashed. And I blame this on the inculcation of discrimination in Christian kids. Being one that has gone through Sunday school, I have been taught to not associate with godless people, including non-Christians. But nonetheless it is the non-christians that are most accepting of people. In fact PAC, angered me. I saw 25 councillors arm in arms during worship, and I was there looking at them from a distance and no one ask me to join in. I questioned myself, do they consider me a 34th?. Forever will this image be etched in my head, the Christians of council like brothers in arms, leaving a poor pastafarian dejected at the corner and yet no one cared, not a single one of "god's people" cared.
The council was the epitome of Christendom including all the traits of discrimination. But I realised I was not the only non-christian as lenny and Zr were also free thinkers. And in a way they both feel the marginalization from those christians. Sometimes I wonder how Sam ang is able to preach love and yet fester a hotbed of hate and meanness towards others say xin er and same goes for kat.
But I made a few good friends and this I have to thank the cliquish lot in council especially the mg girls which do polarize the Council especially cw. But maybe the thing I am mist bothered is by the apathy and reticence of these "Christians".
I think one particular person the council really owes an apology is to rui qin, which behind her back has been a subject of ridicule eg MOC thing. What happened to one heart one voice? I think I feel for Frederick, if only he had held out a little longer. But he feels the same way as me and if the counil could give him acceptance he would have been a splendid councillor but no. He once shared with me how the feeling of belonging he felt in barker was absent here and I agree with his rationale.
