recalcitrance

haha.
was following the AWARE incident via twitter.
i must say it was exciting...

its clearly a case of the big black witches against the defenceless white wingged angels.
from the live update i can only garner one conclusion.

The big black witches were bound to lose.

from the way Josie Lau screamed "Shut up and Sit down!" so many times...
that inspired people to design shirts with that slogan within 10 minutes. That clearly became the tagline of today's conference.

from Dr Thio screaming away for pple to respect her because of her age.
its like someone screaming away on a MRT to ask someone to give up their seat for her because she's old.

so yea i hope this concludes the AWARE incident.
which is so dotz.
and expensive at the same time.
spending almost 100k on that stupid event and debate?

that money could easily be spent elsewhere.
and only the person with the LOWEST possible EQ can possibly rebute that point by saying

"we made 120k with the new memberships! so what we spent is reasonable!"

pls. women pay 40 bucks a year to be ur member.
u spent whatever they paid u for a year in 1 or 2 months?

what a good (ex)leader!





ah ok. so end of story.
the white wingged angels won!






and just another joke of the day...
while walking around in The Cathay after a satisfying meal at Aston's...
aaron made a comment about Wolverine to jinyan.

aaron to jinyan: "i didn't know wolverine was born a mutant."
jinyan to aaron: "huh... what 没有灯?"


its like omg.
i was laughing hysterically.

reminded me of this.

haha...
enjoy the video!

=D

its quite disturbing when another possibly infectious disease starts its attempt to wipe out the human race.

ok that might have sounded a bit too scary.
haha.
but so far, so good.

at least Singapore's still have a squeaky clean record on confirmed swine flu patients.

recent days have been rather boring!
but hey! its MAY 2009.
its quite fast come to think about it.

a few more months, we'd probably be buried under books or notes.
which is seriously quite scary to think about.

just one thing to hope for!

NO SWINE FLU pls. i remembered how my dad nagged at me for coming home late during SARS. and i hope it doesn't happen again!


Stay healthy, pple! =D

this morning, the 2009 Pulitzer Prize winners were announced.
the Pulitzer Prize has long been regarded as the highest national honor in newspaper journalism, literary achievements and musical composition.

looking through the list of winners, one caught my eye.
the winner of the feature writing category - Lane DeGregory of the St. Petersburg Times.

the story can be found here...

http://www.tampabay.com/features/humaninterest/article750838.ece

what happened was a 7 yr old girl was found living in a home with faeces of cats, dogs and humans smeared all over the wall.
wrapped up in diapers which were past saturated in a room with a four foot high mountain of use diapers.
the floor, freezer and basically everywhere else was filled with roaches, it was impossible to walk a step without crushing a few.

the girl was saved and placed in a foster home.
some kind soul adopted her and since then, she improved a lot.

because 85% of the human brain develops in the first five years of a human,
she was considered to be severely mentally retarded.
though she wasn't autistic or psychotic, she can hardly make sounds, not to mention speaking.


its so tough to think about the possibility of such people living in third world countries, let alone in the country with the most spending power (aka the USA).

quite disturbed by it.
but nonetheless, i'm glad at least this one got saved.
