Surge

Initially I wanted to to go for Surge, but decided not to since no one is accompanying me...

Initially I was amazed by the power of love -- how two guys are willing to battle it out in the ring for the hands of their dream girl, how two guys are willing to fight, literally, for what they truly believe in and for what they truly want.

I was touched.

Everything seemed lovely and touching until further and closer examination of this entire saga.

The girl is problematic.

Looks aside (since it is subjective and I can't help but to feel disappointed that the two guys are fighting over.. such a girl...), the girl's character and personality is questionable.

I mean, if you are truly serious about a relationship with either of the guys, you wouldn't bear to see anyone of them getting hurt, much less to see them getting into violence against each other.

You would have stopped the fight. You have decide for yourself who to be with, or consult your family, best pals, classmates, teachers.. or whosoever to see who should be your boyfriend, and not let the boys fight it out in a ring and pick the winner to be your boyfriend.

That is just so not serious.

She is just not serious over having a relationship with either one of them.

She would rather let the boys fight it out and fight for their fate rather than control her own destiny with her own hands. In a way, she just handed the power of controlling her fate to the two boys.

I can imagine her going, "Oh no! Oh dear! Oh gosh! Both of them are equally eligible. I cannot decide for myself. I want both of them, but I can only possess one! Oh no! Help! (*Tears hair*) What should I do? Who should I go with? Arghs! Fuck it, just let them fight each other and I shall pick the winner!"

Bimbotic.

Irresponsible. Be it with regards to her own destiny or to the well-being of the two boys.

Please, for God's sake, just fucking make that decision and not let the boys make the decision for you.

This just show how wishy-washy Siantzu (the female lead of this saga) is.

And just based on that, I don't see why she is worth fighting for.

Assume that she really picks the winner to be her boyfriend, can you imagine how embarassed and awkward the loser will feel?

Perhaps the fight is also about male pride.

In any case, the fight is an unfair oneto start with. Jason Tan, from ACS(Barker) is a whopping 10kg heavier than Daniel Wong from RJC.

If my memory serves me well, they belong to two distinct weight class. In order for a boxing match to be fair and just, competing boxers will have to belong to the same weight class.

In other words, Daniel is "expected" to lose.

But no matter what, both guys are on the losing end. If Daniel wins, Jason being the bigger guy ought to feel ashamed; if Jason wins, Daniel ought to feel ashamed losing to someone younger than him.

Sianztu is the biggest (and the only) winner of this love triangle.

Oh well, we shall see. For those who are going, do tell me the results.

If you are interested, "Surge" will be held at Ministry of Sound (Mos), Singapore, on the 21st of November 2006 at 2230. Pre-sale tickets are at $20 each and can be bought from 1930 onwards. Each ticket bought at the door would cost you a whopping $25.
