Weekly Roundup: Week 17

Posted by singaporedaily on 25th April 2009

“Please ask your like-minded friends to join Aware so that you can give the vote to those who wish to be an agent of change for the Lord.. Unfortunately, I cannot surface but shall be assisting in the background. I attach the Aware membership application form for your use. The Aware application form has a section as to who (if any) told you about Aware. You can just leave it blank.”
Thio Su Mien

“Surface you did like the proverbial serpent from the ocean depths. And as the sun caught your face, your through form was revealed – feminist mentor arise!”
mrtoastbox

“I hereby announce OPERATION LEPER.”
akikonomu

“But the most important lesson I have learned from this saga, is this: One voice – one vote, can make the difference.”
ThangDynasty

Ed

This week’s roundup and recommended reads after the break.
