The image is a scene from a film set in an office. A man in a formal suit sits at a desk, suggesting a business setting. He appears to be engaged in a conversation, as indicated by his hand gesture and the subtitle accompanying the image: "Change 'man-to-man' to 'face-to-face.'" This suggests an emphasis on modifying language for inclusivity or accuracy. The office is elegantly furnished, with a large desk, leather chairs, and a window view showing tall buildings, indicating a cityscape outside. The light is natural, implying daytime. The presence of a newspaper on the desk suggests the character might be in a position of authority or involved in current events. The atmosphere is professional, with muted colors enhancing the formal tone.

Dad’s Reid Avenue Office, Lal’s Stock Dispute and Public Finance

4:45 p.m.

I remember I was in my dad's office in Reid Avenue. It was a small, but then large seeming building. My dad was a boss. Like Donald Trump.

This building wasn't Trump Tower, but it was to me, it was 6 - 7 or 10 storeys tall. It's now given to somebody else as Lal stole the business, then lost a lot of the money.

The court case, where issue is "a minority share holder, Lal, issued stock, without majority approval, claims the business belongs to him, as new majority owner. "

The rule or law is "you can't issue stock without approval from minority"

Application : "there has been a case filed. There were complaints made. Lal has even forged signatures of my mom (what I remember my mom complained to me, the police and her lawyers). He is claiming she has weakly

** I get severely angry when I remember this.

** I have no patience for thieves.

** I have no mercy.

** Within 1 week, despite what anyone has to say, you will see what I will do, in broad daylight, with my new soldiers, in Galle Face

** We can go to court, and solve the case, but I don't believe in it

** What I want to do is something people can all gather around to see happen

** So they will all realize, who I am, what I will do in the year 2024 of our lord, and that I will listen to nobody who says otherwise

** If Sheryl resigns, or doesn't even wish to be PM to begin with

** We will just get somebody else

** But I will show you all what happens to you when you steal from me

** This is how I will set the tone

** Nobody else will have to do it, because their court cases will never be stalled

** But when you rob from the ruler, this is the price you pay

████

** He should first return the funds they stole off the 1,000s of depositors

** In any case, I don't care about the kids

I was like 10 or 12. My dad gave me a Mars ice cream bar, on a plate.

I played with his CCTV camera equipment, to speak with his employees and people, for fun.

I talked to Dilrukshi Gomes, by holding a button, talking.

I think I later went to stay in her office, then played games on their PC, back then they had desktops

And I remember playing with Microsoft Excel

And it seemed fun

Now I'm upgrading

It's so f***ing cool

Using PostgreSQL

Pronounced Post Gres and then Q and L

Not post gres S Q L like I would call it

And it's also written in C and not C++ or cpp

Not that it makes a difference

We're a very data driven kind of leader

I remember, vividly, looking at Singapore government's financials

They had used these funny seeming, almost Menlo like fonts

For the financials, the numbers

All digital

And we're going to do all of that

Because it's your money

And you deserve to know what's happening with your money

Writing With Sequence, Pacing and Quentin’s Dialogue

7:45 p.m.

When writing :

1. I use sequence, which a lot of writers don't use as much, because they have to hit a page count of 120 courier 12 font

This is kind of how I frame things, where the subtext is superior

It is something television shows can pivot better, but a lot of movies struggle with delivering as effectively

I also explore themes, evolve and apply character arcing dynamically based on narrative sequencing

I found it helps offset exposition

Even this, when framed, kind of just fits so snugly

2. I use a lot of

I dunno what the word for it is

Pacing!

I do know, just can't recall

Pacing is everything

See a lot of it, is all to do with speed or pacing, even things like tone

It is all down to pacing

There is fast, slow, exciting, boring

You kind of have to master it in this artform

I use my own blend

Where it's very lively

***

What I wish I could learn as a writer :

I wish I could learn is from Quentin, how to construct his dialogue, the music in his words, which just sound so beautiful

I could potentially gain from his personal tutoring to do so

I can't do that

The dummy also has artificial blonde hair, adding to a caricatured representation. The background is a nondescript landscape with a dirt ground and a blurry horizon of trees or distant hills.

Saying I Love Donald Trump

8:00 p.m. (e)

I love Donald Trump

The screenshot shows a YouTube video titled "Testing The Assassination Attempt of Donald Trump" from the channel Brandon Herrera. This outdoor scene features four individuals standing together beside a vehicle with an extended awning. They appear to be discussing or preparing for an activity. One person is wearing a green t-shirt with the word "Demolition" on it, while another sports a "Spectrum Gunship" t-shirt, indicating a possible military or tactical theme. They are casually dressed, with two of them wearing sunglasses, creating a relaxed but focused mood.
In the left part of the image, there is a diagram with two illustrations of a brain, each pierced by an arrow. The top illustration is labeled "CIVIL WAR" with the text "Without Trump's head movement" beneath it, while the bottom says "AFFORDABLE GROCERIES" with "With Trump's head movement." This implies a humorous or satirical take on political topics, possibly related to the video's theme. The lighting is bright, suggesting a daytime setting. The composition combines the diagram with the group of people, creating a juxtaposition of serious and lighthearted elements.
