Is there much more I can find?

"Finally, like Charlotte, Jane becomes a governess—a neutral vantage point from which to observe and describe the oppressive social ideas and practices of nineteenth-century Victorian society."
"Jane will only enter into marriage with Rochester after she has gained a fortune and a family, and after she has been on the verge of abandoning passion altogether. She waits until she is not unduly influenced by her own poverty, loneliness, psychological vulnerability, or passion."
I think I need more 'passion'. Need to know where that is going to go? Instead of being all airy-fairy about it, perhaps I need to ask myself what I want for real too. Now comes the time to ask that question right. When responsibility to achieve what I want for myself now comes in. But obviously, just like Charlotte Bronte, what I'll always want is a bit of understanding.
I'll need to know how to show what I have 'passion' for, to show I want that something.
I do like my Uni studies at times.

"Royston Tan's award-winning 15, a graphic depiction of Singapore's underbelly, was only allowed after over 20 scenes were cut.
In February 2008, the Academy Awards acceptance speech for the short documentary Freeheld was censored by Mediacorp in the rebroadcast of the program due to the filmmakers' mention of equal rights for same sex couples.[7]"
Wikipedia. How to work for Mediacorp. Work for Mediacorp, or work for the garmen.
Censorship in Singapore page has much more detail than Cinema of Singapore page. Like duh. Wait sekali my blog is gonna get shut down. Lol. Not yet. Not so infamous yet.
"On 30 June 2006, blogger mrbrown wrote an article, titled "TODAY: S'poreans are fed, up with progress!", for his weekly opinion column in Today newspaper concerning the rising income gap and costs of living in Singapore.[16] Three days later, on 3 July, an official from the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts published a response letter on the same newspaper calling mrbrown a "partisan player" whose views "distort the truth".[17] On 6 July, the newspaper suspended his column.[18] Fellow blogger Mr Miyagi subsequently resigned from his column for Today. This was followed by Today newspaper chief executive and editor-in-chief Mano Sabnani's resignation in November 2006. The action fuelled anger over the Internet due to the perceived heavy-handedness action taken by the government over criticisms."
How to work like that? Work on internet.
"In September 2008, US citizen Gopalan Nair was sentenced to 3 months imprisonment for insulting a public servant after he accused a Singapore judge of "prostituting herself" in his blog."
Shit. I have nowhere to hide.
