Anyone who wants to go can look for me. =)

Amazing

Many things are amazing:

1. Meeting JC friends for lunch and realising that you've neglected them over the past 2 years.

2. Learning that not going on Facebook is like hiding in a cave in Afghanistan.

3. Finding 1 blog and then suddenly finding a whole lot of blogs which you never knew existed.

4. Growing up.

What is not amazing:
Choosing to blog rather than study for tomorrow's tests.

China launches Rocket

i was watching TV Mobile on the way back from CG:

China launches another Shenzhou rocket for dunno what scientific purpose at some day which is within a week of their National Day, instilling a lot of pride in their citizens, especially since the astronauts will be wearing some locally designed high tech extra-vehicular space suit.

Of cos, the question on everyone's* mind is:

How much melamine is there in the suit?


*Chinese nationals not included.

MAF

Mooncake Day came and went and you wouldn't even have noticed if not for all the promotions done by merchants... i remember when we were much younger, MAF meant an excuse to play with fire.. We'll bring candles and lanterns to the nearby playground.. The tamer ones put lit candles into lanterns and walk around with them... As for the rest of us who failed to see any purpose in that, we'll just light candles and try to burn as much stuff as possible... i did leaves, twigs, paper, lanterns, plastic and all kinds of stuff. i'm not proud of it but there was a time when i actively sought to increase my carbon footprint.

Then it gradually progressed to the time where candle-lit lanterns were replaced by battery operated lanterns.. The cooler ones even played music. Pple will argue abt the decline of tradition in our society and chinese teachers will make us write essays abt them.

Nowadays, nobody bothers abt lanterns anymore. There probably is too little money to be made in them, since adults don't have time and kids prefer the kind of battery-operated toys which also allows them to play FF7 while standing in the train. On mooncake day i walked past the playground and there was nobody there.

Pushing Daisies

"As he stared at her, he reached around his back and held his own hands, pretending he was holding hers.

And at that very moment, she was pretending to be holding his."

- Pushing Daisies Season 1 Ep 1

Made all the more sweeter with Anna Friel as the female lead.

Disposition

Yest i struggled tremendously with the public transport syst, AGAIN. i was waiting for a cab to get me to Nexus and my queue was cut by 3 different pple. i think Jesus said tt sin occurs not when we do something but when we think of doing something.

i killed 6 pple yest while waiting for a cab.

Today i was waitin for a bus to bring me home after a long day outside. A bus (not mine) arrived at the stop and this blind man came along to ask if that was Service 970. i told him it wasn't and waited with him, missing 2 of my buses in the process, even though he told me i can just go ahead if my bus comes first.

it is at times like this that i remember what Jonathan told me, that some study has shown tt a person's propensity for kindness depends less on his character and personality, than it does on his mood and feelings at tt point in time.

Is this true for you too?

p/s: i went to visit Jiehan's blog... it is unsurprisingly gloomy..
pp/s: can someone tell me how to change the time zone for blogspot? i feel strange to be told tt i wrote this at 4+ in the afternoon when it's actually closer to midnight..

Thai Democracy

It bothers me to read that in nearby Thailand, the people are caught between a populist govt who acts as a puppet for someone whom the legal system has called a criminal, and a group of uncaring, hypocritical elites who pretends to fight for democracy but is in reality fighting to retain power.

Where are the heroes? Where are the leaders who can rise up for the sake of the people?
ASEAN is so short of good leaders, that if there's a company who can target this market, i'll definitely buy its stock.
