Freedom In My Head

I watched "Sleepless in Seattle" for the umpteenth time over last weekend and still managed to get all teary when I heard Tom Hanks describe his dead wife on the telephone with the radio station. Husband on the other hand snorted "Chick Flick" or something to that effect and wandered off to do Something More Manly whilst I asked myself yet again why men would prefer to watch war movies or samurai movies when they could just sit back and watch something so much less contentious and stressful.

Speaking of stressful. I promptly got all stressed out during the scene when Tom Hanks and his son take a boat out to something random beach, proceed to park the boat just anywhere and start playing with a Frisbee. I mean, aren't there regulations about where people can park their boat? You mean you suka suka can just park your boat anywhere? Isn't there a designated Private Boat Parking Lot? And where's his Boat Licence Plate? No need?

Also, the fact that they live in a house over the sea just kills me. Isn't he a single parent? How can he afford to live in a property like that? You mean property in Seattle so cheap meh?

Plus, in the beginning of the show, it's New Year and he's watching some people set off fireworks over the water. Isn't that illegal? Won't it start fires or hurt people? I noticed his house which had a lot of wood in it. Not scared burn down ah? Also, what if they had misaimed and the fireworks had gone into his house and hurt his son? Aren't there strict regulations about the release of fireworks in a public place? Instead of just standing there watching the fireworks with a beer, he should be strenously typing out a complaint letter.

Gawd. Who needs an external source of stress when I have myself?

I wondered if other viewers in Singapore were having similar fits. Then it hit me. Is it the environment that we live in that is regulated, or am I just completely regulated In My Head? Does anyone else get as stressed out as I do when someone spits in public [Is this a seizable bailable offence? Am I legally obliged to effect a citizen's arrest?] or when I see people skateboarding outside an MRT station [bloody vandals should be shot].

Or when I see blogs that criticize the government, like poor brave rockson. Every time I take a peek at his blog, I expect to see that he's been shut down and that the hundreds of thousands of people who have posted negative comments on his blog about the government are being actively investigated by the CAD/ CPIB/ MOM/ IRAS. For rockson's sake, I hope that the grapefruit-sized tumour in his head that is surely blocking out whatever part of his brain controls his sense of self-preservation will soon be removed. Dude is just cruisin'.
