Ramblings

Murder: Today's Straits Times reported the verdict on the man who murdered his wife outside her workplace. I don't know when I have become jaded, but I have. I no longer feel anything when reading about murders. Heck I don't even bother reading the details anymore, just the headlines. It is happening everyday, everywhere anyway. What is there to read about the deterioration of humanity; people succumbing to their animalistic instincts. Guess people no longer turn back to see what's following them. Come to think of it, I don't do that either, but I have a good reason because I know my God's angel(s) are behind.

Haze: There's an in-depth report on the haze situation in Indonesia in today's Straits Times. It is basically a dissection of the current situation, and it made me glad that there are people out there who agreed with me that it is cheaper to just burn the forests. Not that we supported the burning, but you got to look at the big picture. Impoverished country needing a quick and cheap way to clear the land. So all those nature societies what-nots, and neighbouring countries, stop wasting time talking, and start doing something to actually help Indonesia.

Mobile Phone: Weekend papers always have tons of advertisements on mobile phones. I really wanted to change my lousy Samsung phone, but nothing really catches my eyes. Okay, those that do get my attention are not within my cheapskate budget. I am simply not willing to part with $500+ just to get a mobile with multiple functions considering the most common function I use is the sms. Games, music and camera functions? Try beating my PDA, mp3 player and Canon Powershot.

Birthday: Yah, I turned 26 a few days back. Celebrated for 3 days straight. First day almost got drunk on cold sake with my secondary school friends. Okay, not drunk. I turned red and almost puked. No high sensation. Just wanted to puke. Second day, Jap food again, but with pharmacy friends. My friend from TTSH laughed and said it was surprising that all except one could make it as it was a last minute gathering. Next time she will not plan birthday gatherings 1 month ahead. Third day, with family. The usual fare, shark's fin soup, grilled honey chicken and broccoli. I shall ask for flower crabs next year. :D
