random pic of the day
a couple of things i wanna blog today.
- the melanine milk situation: evil profit-motivated businessman. very evil. not only did they screwed up the lived of 50 000 children worldwide... and the numbers still increasing, they damaged the reputation of the innocent chinese farmers. totally. although i dont really support the stand that these merciless "creatures" should undergo corporal punishment and be shot, they should definitely be made to pay dearly their whole life. but then again, it contradicts what the singapore government is trying to campaign--the yellow ribbon project. forgive those who are wrong. *sighs* chicken or duck and egg problem again. on second thoughts, why are political prisoners very often then not, condemned by the government for life? and sometimes even their families are dragged down.. what a world with so much contradiction.
- I HEREBY THANK CHINA EASTERN AIRLINES for sending my brother and his wife safely back in time yesterday.. though i'd rather that they played safer and stayed on a while longer at taiwan since it was already howling at great speed when the plane was board?? it was so bad, supposedly, that their baggage couldnt even be loaded as the passengers boarded their planes. then again, there are reports that many airports are actually closed for the next few days until the typhoon ceases. PHEW. whatever it is, im happy to see my big brother back in singapore, especially when he gives that cheeky smile and says, "i've got insurance for the delayed baggage!" ahhhh. whatever. ren mei shi jiu hao.
- foreigners are still not well-treated in singapore, sadly. i was at the airport yesterday to await for the arrival of you-already-know-who. unfortunately or not, we were there half-hour early due to the love for speed of my dad. i swear i dont like speed though i awe at bikes who HUGE tyres. then there they were, i think from bangadesh [sorry it wrong spelling], standing with superbly straight backs in extremely neat and tidy ironed shirts in high hopes of whatever awaits them in singapore. naah, it was exactly they oppposite, the construction company that was supposed to pick them wasnt even there when i left about 4 hours later----thanks to the delayed flight and paperwork over the baggage. i see how the welfare of foreign workers are neglected. at least china, although a major polluter, sends a BUS to transport them.. singapore seem to find itself stuck at the level of lorries with makeshift benches. im not saying that lorry rides are bad, but surely it would be very much appreciated if they had more comfortable positions during their rides?
- prelim results.. the last thing i will ever want to talk about with the class. they'll go "oh, it's not too bad.." and the next moment, "i need one more mark to get my A" when i've got like an E or perhaps a S. i wondered how many times i sighed today. it's time. TIME TO GET SERIOUS. i wonder again when i was really serious and focused on studying. how come it's so hard to get my As.
- seet is crazy about gp. or making she's trying to leave a good impression of herself on ms chan before we part our ways.. just a tinie-winie presentation and she's making me and renu and herself doing a lot of research. hmm. LUCKY WE ONLY DID 3 POINTS.
