} they should have known better

theres a little blurb on Mas Selamat in the papers this morning (yea, him again).. talked about how some of his family helped him escape by harbouring him in their homes and helping to disguise him, give him money etc. (he was dressed as a woman! OF COURSEE) the blurb mentions the sentences they got, and below that, a nice little quote from the Law Minister Mr. Shanmugam:

"They failed to differentiate right from wrong when they decided to help Mas Selamat. They should have known better."

...uh, yeah. i think they KNEW better. but im not sure most people in their position wouldn't have done the same. the Minister's words seem too much like "YOU HAVE BEEN IDIOTS. and now i shall spank you"

by spank he meant of course, some pretty serious jail sentences. some more than a year? i dont even remember what Mas Selamat did anymore. wait - DID he do anything? (i honestly cant remember.)

to be fair to Mr. Shanmugam though, i guess he was obliged as law minister to say what he said. BUT that is not all the bones i have to pick this morning.

last night i was VERY UPSET because my mum came back from indo, and she bought a winter coat for me to wear to london. Nono, that's not the bad part. ok that is kind of bad because i was hoping to buy a winter coat for myself :x (darn it). BUT ANYWAY, the worst part was later on, when she proudly went on to say 'IT COMES WITH FUR!' and i was like O_O Whut.

and she produced this horrible black fur collar from her bag. and i though Oh my God that looks so terrible it can't be real, right?? and to be safe i asked her 'It's NOT real, right..?' and she said YES OF COURSE IT'S REAL.

Dx NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and THEN she went on to say, it's wolf's hair. (may be fox due to translation issues. but still.)

Dx NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

see this gorgeous creature here? he's just going around "oh hello there imma look for rabbits here how are you? :D"

I KILLED IT.

the thing is, you're not even justified in wearing fur unless (1)you live in Russia, (2)you're an Eskimo. i dont think i fit either description.

sigh.
