When you know Age is catching up on you....
A sign that age is creap up your body:
Partying in Butter Fac till wee hrs + bball 4 hrs later is a concoction for disaster !
My limbs are so sore that they feel like they are falling apart.
Another sign that age is catching up on you:
Cliques are not meeting that regularly leh becos everyone has their own stuff to be busy with... meetings become less and less frequent and lesser in importance...
And everything becomes "we'll see" or "we'll decide when the time comes..."
Impromptu arh... lolz
Like it or not... the only constant in this world is change...

When will ignorant peorple learn to be civilised !!?
“A Taliban firing squad executed a young Afghan couple for trying to elope, it emerged today.
The woman, 19, and the man, 21, were accused by the militants of immoral acts and a council of clerics decided that they should be killed, said Ghulam Dastagir Azad, the governor of the south-western province of Nimroz.
The two had fled their homes and hoped to travel to Iran, but their parents sent villagers to bring them home, said Sadiq Chakhansori, the chief of Nimroz' provincial council.
Riflemen in the remote district of Khash Rod shot the man and woman with AK-47s yesterday.
In remote and dangerous regions of Afghanistan, Taliban fighters operate what are sometimes referred to as shadow governments, where militant leaders serve as government officials and run their own police units and pseudo court systems.
The Afghan government has no access to the remote region where the two were shot.
The Taliban movement ruled Afghanistan from 1996-2001 and put in place harsh social rules that forbade unmarried men and women to talk or meet in public. Women were not allowed out of their homes without a male relative, and girls could not go to school.
Taliban fighters have widened their influence the last three years and now control many remote districts in Afghanistan where there are not enough US, Nato or Afghan forces to establish a permanent presence. ”

Well, wtf is going on man ? Like what FD (Class 95) commented, y would the parents bloody give her to the Talibans !!? I understand it is still a very conservative culture there; but what worst than to be betrayed by the closest kin ?
Let me proclaim that I do not know Islam like the back of my hand. However, I do know that it is very interpretive religion, meaning many things are stated in a very generic way such that people would view it in different light, that’s why there is a variance in the Islam teachings here and their fellow counterparts in Middle East. Take alcohol for example, I remember an Algerian colleague telling me that the Koran says it will cloud people’s judgments (which is very true if you drink too much), but it didn’t ban alcohol from her believers. For my colleague’s case, he chose not have take alcohol. That is his choice, and I respect that, but it doesn’t necessary mean alcohol is bad and evil you know.
He also told me that the Koran tells Muslims to understand other religions and respect them. I didn’t do any research on the claim, but I truly believe that any religion will ask their believers to do good things, why not Islam ? And taking people’s life against their will is definitely not one of the good things ! What’s more, the couple who eloped just tried to have their own life, and be away from all the social constrains. They didn’t harm anyone or did anything evil !!
Don’t get me wrong, some of the nicest people I met are Muslims; it’s just these handful of extremist cultures that irks me because not only are they ignorant, many of them are misguided by people who use religion to sought their political motives… just like the Talibans. They only know how to instigate people for their gains, actual things like making people’s life better… they know nuts !!
Haiiz… very sad ah.
Kudos to the Muslims here, they don’t do these kinda crazy shits !

Crap from MediaCorp... we deserve better quality TV Shows !!!
Wah Biang eh... I feel so insulted watching this show man...
Dun get me wrong... I only passed by while my sis was switching the channels and then I started to watch a little bit... I am appalled... very appalled by the show.
Let me see what I saw in the 5 min:
1) Blurr ping pong serves ?? huh ??
2) Wooden bats without rubber can serve spinning shot... hmmm
3) Bat and Human as one... wtf is that... kungfu !!!?
4) Feelings to spot opponent's weakness ? *roll eyes*
Tell me lots abt the production man... from producers all the way to the cast... none of them have any knowledge on table tennis other than it is a game with 2 ppl playing a ping pong ball...
Actually, I am grotesqued that Media Corp can come up with this crap show leh... it is really insulting to people who play table tennis. This show not only misinterpreted the sport... they totally ruined value behind playing it. I mean at least get someone who genuinely knows how to play table tennis as a star, just like back in the days where they had the basketball drama.
I rest my case... 6 months outta town and first thing I see is this crap...
Sheesh...

6 months in USA/Canada
Yesh I am back from Houston.
6 months in the North American continent has been fruitful, fun and overwhelming. Not only did I make new friends and colleagues all over the world, I also experienced different lifestyles, cuisine and cultures. As I dawn upon my overseas stay, I can’t help missing the wonderful people that have enhanced my experience. For sure, our paths will meet again somehow…
But, like I told Daniel, it is time to go home really; and he agrees with me totally having been feeling the same way since being 6 months outta Mexico too. Despite all the fun, accompany and partying, being away from home wears you time sometimes. Especially for me, 30 hours of flight… hmmm definitely not something I am looking forward to.
Anyway, I am just glad that I have come home to finish off the NG Rotations. Time to cheong a permanent position man…
