Life is tough

Life, is tough.

We human are smaller than a grain of sand in the universe, so insignificant, but... why is life so tough...?

I hate not getting what I want. Totally hate it.

Dream job and money, which is more important? A lot of people will say dream job of course. Yes, indeed. But that dream job must provide enough to survive... Else... you will have to eat shit. Unless you already worked like shit and got shit tonnes of money in the bank. Then that's different.

I'm seriously not happy.

I can cry ANYTIME, seriously. Maybe I should go work as a "calefare" who only needs to cry.

Zhng my face

Following my first post about making myself pretty (I-become-pretty), I photoshopped another photo, this time, heavily. Changed almost everything. hahahaha. and I look pretty! I used to think this is one of my nicer photos and NOW...... er... not anymore... and.... I hate to look at my real photo now.. How?? I want plastic surgery!!!! I want to make my eyes bigger and I want Dawn Yang's nose!!!!!!! hahahahahahaa......


Cannot cannot, I must not live in lies. kekekekeke..........

Will you give up your seat?

Gosh, shocking... I was reading Stomp forum and students complaint that people expect students to give up their seat (in bus or train) for elderlys instead of expect the same out of other adults. I think anybody who is not elderly ought to give up their seats for the needies.

But the response in that thread, gosh, a whole lot of them say why must they give up their seats? Since they pay the fares too. There are so many of them think this way.. It's scary... Understand that sometimes students, or working people can be really tired after a long day. And they might not give up their seats in such circumstances. But their mindset is already "Why must I give up my seat?" It's really horrible there are so many out there who feel this way... What have our world become?

Thailand crisis

The political unrest in Thailand doesn't seem to have a quick solution.

Luckily I didn't plan any trips to Thailand during this time.

I personally think Prime Minister Mr Samak should not resign. I am glad he persisted still. He was elected by the people. WHy should he resign? SOmeone suggested a re-election. The opposition leader rejected the suggestion by reason of "a waste of tax payer's money". Actually, I think the real reason is that he knows, Mr Samak will win again.

If the military intervene AGAIN, and overthrow Mr Samak's party like they ousted ex-PM Mr Thaksin Shinawatra, this is really a shame to the country. What's democracy? Well, anyway, there's already no democracy when they ousted Mr Thaksin. The military ousted Mr Thaksin, yet the people re-elected Mr Shinawatra's party, though it's in a different name as his party was forced to dissolved.

People said that Mr Thaksin's politic is all about money. Giving the poor a little money benefit so they will elect him. BUT, money is exactly what the poor need. Mr Thaksin improved the rural area's healthcare, education, loans for farmers, reduced poverty, etc. This is what poor people need, not just Thailand, this is true in all over the world. Talk to poor people about liberty, when they can't even feed themselves? What do they care? They want a better life and Mr Thaksin provided that.

Thailand is a very strange country. The military doesn't really take orders from the PM. They only obey what they want to obey. How to efficiently rule a country in this case? It's really strange that this country has evolved to such structure.

I was very happy and glad that Mr Thaksin and wife is out of Thailand now. They applied for permission to go to watch the Olympics and never went back to Thailand. I am soooo happy for him. Although, a large part of his money... is now untouchable by him.... but I'm sure he's still rich, he's a successful entrepreneur. And at least they don't have to go to jail.

Man puts baby in mircowave!

HOw sick is this???! I saw this news in youtube. It happened in 2007. The man threw his own baby on the bed, punched her in the groin, put her in refrigerator before putting her into microwave and turned it on for 10 to 20seconds!!! The baby suffered 3rd degree burn and had had part of her ear amputated..

His wife stood by her husband and blamed it on the Satan.. What the fuck??!! Yeah, go ahead, blame it on the Satan. Crazy.. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. In the end, he was sentenced to 25years of jail and fined $10,000. I hope he gets beat up in the jail.

The 8minute London 2012 Performance

The 8 minute London 2012 erformance in Beijing Olympic closing ceremony cost 2.5million pound. And the UK people think it was crap. So funny. haha.. It really wasn't very good. And nobody understand why did it has to cost that much. I supposed most of it goes to the celebrities? David Beckham in particular? But hosting the 30th Olympic will be UK's pride, if they indeed charge that much, then it's a little too much.

I had a slight annoyance when the mayor of London Boris Johnson took over the flat. And indeed, it's being ridicule all over the world now. His coat unbuttoned, hands in pocket, messy hair, goofy attitude... Apparently he is famous of his messy hair.

And flew David Beckham there, just to appear and kick the football once. Kind of stupid... And messy dance, don't know what they are trying to tell. When the double decker bus's door opened, the crowd rushed to the door, pushing and pulling, were they trying to tell us Londoners are like that? Then the kid walked on the adults, what are they trying to say? That the kid is sacred that she can't walk on the ground? Or that London kids are rude and they walk over adults' bodies? I don't get it. Do you?

McDonald's commercial

I lovvvveee McDonald's. All my friends know that. And naturally, I like McDonald's commercials. EXCEPT for the recent ones that's on TV in Singapore.

It just show people go, "Ehm, you know, it's kind of er, ehm, kind of er.. you know, kind of, kind, kind of good!".

What the hell... IT IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. And I'm definitely NOT "loving it" (McD's commercial line : I'm loving it.)

You know? it's kind of, kind of, you know? kind of, kind of er, KIND OF ANNOYINGGGGGG.

True Spirit of the Games

Found this on the net, something worth reading. Made me want to cry. It really touched my heart.

From Rediff.com

The true spirit of the Games

August 27, 2004

Twelve years ago, on a warm Barcelona night, Pyambuu Tuul staggered towards the Olympic stadium determined to finish what he had started.
The last athlete competing at the 1992 Games, the Mongolian marathon runner was long overdue and he ended up being cheated of his moment of glory after four hours of agony.

The King and Queen of Spain gave up waiting, the closing ceremony was set in motion and, surrounded by six police motorcycles and with an ambulance in attendance, Tuul was shunted on to a warm-up track to complete his race.

Twelve months earlier, Tuul had vowed to run in the Olympic marathon when he regained his sight in one eye after 13 years of blindness. His race ended without a spectator in view.

Tuul's tale of athletic courage has been repeated many times since the first Olympic marathon was run in 1896 from Marathon to Athens, a course to be repeated on Sunday in the final act of the 2004 Olympics.

In the 1968 race, John Akhwari of Tanzania hobbled into the Mexico City stadium, bloodied, unbowed and very much last. He had injured his knee in a fall but ground through the pain to finish one hour behind the winner, Ethiopian Mamo Wolde.

Asked why he had carried on, Akhwari replied: "My country did not send me 5,000 miles to start the race, they sent me 5,000 miles to finish the race."

The idea of competing and completing, rather than trying to win medals, has a special allure for marathon runners.


INJURED LEG

In 1996, Afghanistan's Abdul Baser Wasigi appeared in the Atlanta stadium nearly 4-1/2 hours after starting the race. He had injured his leg shortly after arriving in the U.S. and was forced to walk much of the marathon.

Crews were preparing for the closing ceremony but volunteers removed tarpaulins covering the track and persuaded the band to stop their rehearsal and pipe Wasigi across the finishing line.

"This is what the Olympics is all about - the spirit of competition," said the official in charge of the venue.

A strong favourite to finish last on Sunday is Gil da Cruz Trinidade of East Timor, a new entry to the Games. His personal best is about 45 minutes over the world record and he is in the race thanks to a wild card granted by Olympic officials.

"The most important thing for me in Athens is to finish," said Cruz Trinidade this week.

He will hopefully enjoy a better reception than Tuul did in 1992.

His day had begun badly when he dropped and broke his glasses. The 33-year-old patched them up with sticky tape and set off hoping nothing else would go wrong.

His finishing time of four hours four minutes was 56 minutes slower than the second to last athlete, Hussein Haleen of the Maldives, who had collapsed at the makeshift finish and was rushed to a nearby clinic.

After finishing, Tuul gave the thumbs-up to a couple of journalists. "I am just a runner. As the last runner in the Olympics I am very much satisfied," he said with a smile.


Great people, these are. I salute them. I don't think I can continue a race or competition when I'm injured or when I know I am "long overdue" at the finishing line... Great people.

Beijing Olympic closure

There it went. 16 days of world class competition by world class athletes. Kind of sad that it is now over. I really love Olympics. It's a chance for the athletes who have worked so hard all these years, to show the world what they can do, what they can achieve. You feel for them when they fell from balance beam, you feel for them when they dropped their batons, you feel for them when they failed to complete their summersault. But you also feel for them when they broke world record, you cheer for them, you are happy for them. SOme touching stories that happened to the athletes, made me want to cry too. When I see athletes cry out of happiness when they've finally won a medal, my eyes are wet too.

I just lovvveee Olympics. It's really a great thing people all over the world can compete in one place.

The Olympic closing ceremony just finished. My feeling was, is that all? People and newspaper all over were wondering how will they extinguish the olympic flame. They were remembering how it was in Athen : 2 kids "blow out" the flame. And people are anxiously wanting to know how China will present this. But before I know, the flame was slowly being extinguish. What..? I don't get it. But closing ceremonies are usually boring. So was this. But anyway, I do think that China has done a good job. However I don't think it's fair to compare this with other Olympics as China has gone all out regardless of how much to be spent, to impress the world. UK has raised its funding for the Olympic games to 0.9billion dollars (US dollar if not mistaken). Even when they've raised the budget it's not even half of China's 2billion dollars spent. If I'm not mistaken that was the amount of money spent ONLY for the opening ceremony. My point is, with that kind of money, they are sure to do an impressive job. Anyway, whatever it is, BEijing did do a great job hosting this Olympic game.

Btw, I've taken a liking with the mascots after watching their "funny dance". Asked my brother to buy me one from Beijing since he was there. I like the panda Jing Jing. But the toy Jing JIng doesn't look so cute. So bought the Ying Ying instead. I like its eyes. Quite cute hor?


Look at these videos. I think they are taken at about the same time but taken from different people. Isn't it so crazily cute and hilarious?? The way it shakes its hands... Sooooo funnyyy.... I want to copy the way it dances and dance like that too~!! ahahahha.aa.aa...

*27/8/08 note : Gee..... these 2 videos are no longer available in youtube due to 3rd party copyright issue.... but there are stil so many Olympic mascot videos in youtube! Why these 2??? Geez.....
