Attitude or mentality?
Wedding dinners. Everyone should have at least attended one wedding dinner by the age of 10.
Wedding dinners, seen as formal events, but are they really formal? My most recent experience yesterday turned the ideology of wedding dinners as formal events topsy-turvy.
enter the hall, (usually a ballroom) and you'll see scores of people sitting at scores of table, placed so narrow to each other one has to squeeze his way around. The wedding dinner was held in Furama, I do not think other hotels would be equally bad. But yesterday's one was horrid. So many people.
In addition, the first thing that hit me when i walked out of the ballroom to the toilets was the all-too-familiar smell that you'll encounter at the roadside. The stench of cigeratte smoke wafted throughout the foyeur, as smokers, who try to be considerate by smoking in a corner, puff away in a nearby corner. Where is the formality of a wedding dinner?
Second. Whilst the emcees were introducing and trying to get everyone's attention. All the elder people were busy chatting away, as if the whole event was theirs. The emcees looked like total idiots as they pronounced their script in front of an unappreciative audience. Maybe audience is not even a term, as few people are actually listening to them! Pretty sad huh?
Third, singaporeans really waste food. Other than my table, all the other tables (as far as I can see, which is prolly abt 4 tables radius) did not finish their food, particularly the greens. For example, after the braised mushrooms with chye sim dish, all I see was heaps of chye sim (a vegetable, in case you DO NOT KNOW?!?!) left on the plate. Only my table (which consists of me and my 2 cousins family and my grandparents) cleared the plate. Why on earth do Singaporeans not eat vegetables? No wonder so many people get sick daily. What is in vegetables that people do not like to eat?!? I am shocked, horrified, surprised... haiz.. disappointed
Lastly, since when did ballrooms become children's play room? You get the idea.
Sad. Since when were we brought up this way?

Weak week
Oh my gosh. What happened to me? 2 weeks, in a row, I injured 2 body parts.
I just injured my toe, then I injured my teeny weeny finger. Gosh. How I hate sports... although they are pretty fun.
Prolly I am stupid/silly/clumsy, go and hit my body parts squarely into structures. My toe into a wall, my finger into the basketball. Eh, do not underestimate. I think its about 90 degrees angle, hit my finger fair and square. Furthurmore it fell from a height about the height of the basketball post. (yea ignore my bad english :p)
Right now, I have recovered. Or so as it seems. Mabe 90% recovered. The other 10% is... almost impossible . haha =)

New Computer on the block
Oh yea. I have worked for it! (Maybe lucky? XD) I have worked for it, and it came to me!!
Went to Funan, and bought a new laptop with my father. A new laptop for myself.. and I find it awesome. Glossy finish with a nice design!! Woohoo
According to my father, what attracted him was the relatively cheap warranty upgrade. ($200 for extra 2 years, full coverage !!) In addition.. look at all the freebies. Printer, 512MB thumbdrive, mouse... (carrying bag is normal)
But What i like about it.. is its glossy design.
If you are wondering:
Compaq Presario V3137AU
$1399
AMD Turion 64 Mobile Tech [First time I am using AMD]
512KB L2 Cache (2.0 Ghz)
14.1" WXGA display
80GB (5400RPM) HD
512MB DDR2 SDRAM
nVidia GeForce Go 6150 (256MB Shared)
One problem is.. it is very hot.. literally. Use for 1 hr, and the bottom feels darn darn hot. Hopefully it doesnt kill my laptop =)
Anyways.. got to wait for a week. If any problem occurs, send back. Right now no games on my laptop, cuz it can be a trump card for the other retailer XD

Smoky Problem
No. I am not complaining about the haze problem affecting everyone. I am not commenting about the fuzzy thing that is hampering your visibility for the past weeks.
However, imagine that Singapore has a place with a PSI of more than 100? Right in our doorstep? Made by fellow Singaporeans... (for fellow Singaporeans?) The irony is.. it is not made in any CBD areas... but at a temple!
OMGosh. A temple, a Bhuddist temple in fact! Furthurmore.. it is the place where the urns of my great-grandma and my late brother lies!!!
Haiz. You see, the place where all the tablets are is underground. They (the management) do not bother to switch on any appliances to help "suck" incense smoke out, let alone circulate the air.
So the result?
A place.. (roughly the land area of my house) which is cloudy (almost cloudy.. to my expense) inside. Spend 10 seconds inside and your eyes will start stinging, for me at least. But even then, I think those wearing contacts (contact lenses) will die(not literally), imagine all the smoke particles stuck in between the lenses and the eye??!
anyways... if you are wondering why I am there. Well, there for my great-grandma's death anniversary (not sure if 1 or 2 yrs), and also to visit my brother, over whom i almost shd tears.

The world is in fear
Read the book "State of Fear", by Michael Crichton.
GodDam*** .. its darn nice. Just finished it in 2 days. 500+ pages only..
It shows certain things which are very interesting to note.. hmm
And the title has almost no relation to the story.. but it holds a very very powerful meaning.
Spoiler:
This book is about environmental effects. Some action. But the main part.. if you want
1) pages 451-460
2) pages 477-490
there..
Law & Order in the world is run by introducing fear.
What humans do, are instead affecting the earth due to his selfish desires.
think about it.
