keep sports and politics separate. please.

The western media has for the past weeks portrayed a very biased report on the China, Tibet issue. The eurpoean leg of the Olympic torch relay has been fraught with much protests. With the media giving a very biased report, I wonder how many people actually knew that some protesters even attacked the wheelchair-bound torchbearer pushed by a blind athlete?

candycane, freedom. . .

The funfair came and left yesterday. Within a few hours, the hills were transformed into the fairground. Most of the day went off pretty quickly, with so many things to do and take note of. Driving home gives me the chance to be in deep thoughts.

Most of the things went on pretty well today. Although the buzzer died towards the evening, I was quite pleased with the creativity of clare to improvise and still make the best of the situation. I was equally pleased to see some whom I least expected to see. However, I flared up towards the end of the day when I saw how this generation so ever willingly accept free stuff but when these things are dirtied slightly, they just discard the entire product away. Maybe everything had been given to them on a silver-platter that they do not realise the value of things. It's not just the monetary value of things that i'm talking about. I'm talking about the larger value of things which I find hard to explain. Carpark's been pretty goos today and everyone's been very helpful and understanding.

I only realised how tired I was when I lay on my bed. Woke up this morning to the tune of Freedom etched in my mind. Freedom is a song written by Joyce Loke and performed by her band twice on the hills. Nice, catchy chord progression... I like it! Very talented group of people. Most importantly, these are the people who have a clear sense of direction in life. Talking about responsibilities, I was very glad that some 5MMers chipped in and helped with the picking of litter. Others, just walked by me pretending nothing is happening. I'm not sure about these people but I would feel very uncomfortable and guilty to see my teacher picking up MY rubbish in front of me. Was pretty disturbed by this but i decided to focus only on the good things that happened.

All in all, the candycaners, 5MMers etc... had made the day really memorable.

Never too small to make a big difference...



Saw this funny looking caterpillar last weekend. It's got fungus looking stuff growing on its sides. From far, it looks like a face.
