Social Intelligence

The New Science of Human Relationships

Data from multiple sources suggest that wives are more vulnerable to suffer the health costs of a rocky marriage than are their husbands. Yet women do not seem to be more biologically reactive than men in general.

Many surveys of American women show that positive relationships are their major source of satisfaction and well-being throughout life. For American men, on the other hand, positive relationshiips rate lower in importance than a sense of personal growth or a feeling of independence.

Telling Stories

Revealed Now: Mad Notes On the

Back of Photographs (Scribbled

While I Was A "Schizophrenic"):

  1. Coffee-shop at Flanders, where "Hantu" & Linda work. Both are non-implantees. (Linda & "Hantu" both have no-string-attached sexual relationships with me!) I'm comfortable with that! But why do I look so sad?
  2. Why did I look so ugly and sad? Poor me! (Big Brother is controlling me, that's what!)
  3. Economic security & Political stability. But is that the real me?
  4. A square-looking me--listening to rock music!
  5. I gained a brotherly relationship--but at what cost to me?
  6. Sembawang Park. Look at my paunch!
  7. 1997, Hougang. How I had suffered! Take a good look!
  8. Not too intelligent-looking at all! And hardly handsome. A bit awkward. Not a confident & purposive man.
  9. Is it all my fault that I looked so stupid? Lacking in character and without a strong personality.
  10. 10/3/98. Mum undergoing hand therapy at SGH.
  11. World Trade Centre Photo Equipment Exhibition '87. 5/9/87. Chua Chuan Seah (Ex-MSD Officer, Mindef)
  12. 1996. Hougang. My guide to electronic living--& fucking!
  13. How much is this man worth? 1996. Hougang.
  14. 1997. Hougang. How can this man be a writer? It's a bad square joke! Just look at him--so stupid-looking and lifeless! I don't want to be this man!
  15. Taiwan. 28/11/97--3/12/97. Posing with Ann, the tour guide.
  16. Defence Camp, Marsiling. Feb. 1973. (Was I implanted with miniaturized electronic chip--radio transmitter and microphone--by then?)
  17. 10/4/98. I looked so awful.
  18. 15 Dec '97. After the session....with Flanders Square honeys (you see what I mean?)

FRAGMENTS OF THE TRUTH

ON THE USE OF THE WORDS "IMPLANTEE",

"IMPLANTATION",

"IMPLANTATION CONTROLLERS" AND

"IMPLANTED" IN MY

DELETED BLOG POSTINGS:

Readers of this blog (http://afighterandalovertoo.blogspot.com) and the other two related blogs (http://wholecity.blogspot.com and http://pre-implantationdays.blogspot.com) would have noticed that many of my previous postings in these blogs have been deleted--as they have served their purpose. I have posted those entries in my effort to appear as a schizophrenic who believes he has been, and still is, controlled by the PAP Government generally since 1972 (and by Military Security Department "controllers" since December 1976, when I resigned from the department to become a writer).

Now that I have established myself as a fearless critic of the PAP Government, I need no longer pretend to be an "implantee" of the PAP Government since 1972 or "controlled" by MSD "controllers" since 1976 any longer. Such an incredulous, relentless, moral and self-sacrificing effort to avoid intimidation and harassment by the PAP Government has been explained by me in the recent entries ("Thirty-Two Long Years of 'Immorality', 'Insanity', 'Perversion', and 'Criminality' in My Life and Times As an 'Implantee'"; and "Dear Singaporeans: Every Thing I Do, I Do It For You") in this blog.

I could not have achieved my long-held objective of establishing myself as an earnest and fearless critic of the PAP Government had I not thought of such a long-term plan--with all its everyday ordinariness. Now, happiness fills my heart daily. Each morning, when I wake up to the view of my neighbourhood from my 10th floor HDB apartment, I say to myself: This is beauty! Where does the grace of my writing find so much seriousness, the seriousness so much grace? I must thank my mentors from Western culture--Albert Camus, Cesare Pavese, Nikos Kazantzakis.

The PAP Government will continue to create impressions and perceptions in the minds of readers--and produce "facts"-- in its attempt to instil more fear into Singaporeans who are critical of and oppose the PAP Government. They can try, but readers will learn more and more about its dishonesty!

Notes From The Anti-Government Critic and Writer

On Courage

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear--not absence of fear.

MARK TWAIN


But what you see (on TV, in the political pages of the national press) is certainly not what you'll get with Dr. Chee, who in our hour-long interview came across as erudite, urbane, articulate, smart, focused, eloquent and yes, very normal--debunking his media-projected persona as a stone-cold megalomaniac.

[RAMESH WILLIAM and ZAKI JUFRI, "The Unusual Suspects" (I-S Magazine, 25 July 2008)]


I am sure that most people would become apathetic if their views were completely ignored.

[From: Mad Anarchist, "Comments", The PAP Dilemma (Newsintercom.org), 3 August 2005]


This denies us the reason to ponder on something we should all think about. There is an endless sky, there is a goodness that defies pragmatism, there is a gentleness that is unconnected with retribution. These things have been denied in Singapore. They are real and important if we want to make our society workable and yet humane.

I do believe.

[GOPAL BARATHAM, The Caning of Michael Fay (Singapore: KRP Publications, 1994)]

INTELLECTUAL NEEDS

Cognitive Understanding; Knowledge; Curiosity

The boring academics in Singapore universities, which are controlled by the PAP Government, simply can't write! Their published scientific and technocratic writings are unreadable! What a waste of public money!

My Own (DCCS) Version Or the ISD/MSD/PAP/SG Version?

DAVID CHUA CHUAN SEAH

(THE AUTHOR OF

"THE DCCS PAPERS") SAYS:


What will be the NEXT version of my life by the "responsible", "cultured", "polite", "edifying" and "humane" Internal Security Department (ISD) agents, Military Security Department (MSD) operatives and officers, PAP leaders and their supporters, under-cover police officers, and all the rest of the government members in the Establishment?

Can I see their dossiers (must be damn pretty thick by now!) on me? Ha, ha, ha!
