Probability

Swine flu. A so called world wide pandemic that isn't exactly lethal, but should be well taken care of.

After all, we have all learnt from the mistakes of a more lethal virus, SARS.

Things like quarantine themselves(MCs), checking temperatures, people have been sure to make sure they are alright.

In fact, they are people so pro active, that when they were suspected of being contaminated, they booked a bus, and reported to the hospital together!

Isn't that simply awesome?

Where do you find Singaporean like this?

Of course, when out of the 4 million in Singapore, that would be that some, that is smart enough to quarantine themselves.

What are the chances of someone doing something stupid, like coming back to non infected areas, when they know they are infected?

Apparently, 1 in 1 million!

WTF!

4 people that felt sick, still wants to come back, contaminate everyone in the plane, and then go to the airport, and contaminate more people!

Solid right?

Okay, let me be not so evil, and look at things from another perspective.

Perhaps they are afraid of dying, and hence they wish to come back to see their family while they can, maybe?

Maybe?

Maybe at our expense. Maybe.

Survivor - Destiny's Child


Survivor.mp3 - Destinys child

(Verse 1)
Now that you are out of my life,
I'm so much better,
You thought that I'd be weak without ya,
But I'm stronger,
You thought that I'd be broke without ya,
But I'm richer,
You thought that I'd be sad without ya,
I laugh harder,
You thought I wouldn't grow without ya,
Now I'm wiser,
You thought that I'd be helpless without ya,
But I'm smarter,
You thought that I'd be stressed without ya,
But I'm chillin'
You thought I wouldn't sell without ya,
Sold nine million.

[Chorus]
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what),
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin' (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what),
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin' (what).

(Verse 2)
Thought I couldn't breathe without you,
I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't see without you,
Perfect vision,
You thought I couldn't last without ya,
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without ya,
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without ya,
But I'm on top,
Though it would be over by now,
But it won't stop,
You thought that I would self-destruct,
But I'm still here,
Even in my years to come,
I'm still gon' be here.

[Chorus]
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what),
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin' (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what),
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin' (what).

(Bridge)
I'm wishin' you the best,
Pray that you are blessed,
Much success, no stress, and lots of happiness,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna blast you on the radio,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna lie on you or your family, yo,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna hate you in the magazine,
(I'm better than that)
I'm not gonna compromise my Christianity,
(I'm better than that)
You know I'm not gonna diss you on the Internet
Cause my momma told me better than that.

[Chorus]
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what),
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin' (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what),
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin' (what).

Oh
(Oh)
Oh
(Oh)
Oh
(Oh)
Oh
(Oh)
Oh
(Oh)
Oh
(Oh)
Oh
(Oh)
Oh
(Oh)

After all of the darkness and sadness,
Still comes happiness,
If I surround myself with positive things,
I'll gain prosperity.

[Chorus]

I'm not gonna give up (what),
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what),

Guessing

As you can probably guess, I'm kind of busy nowadays.

Lesser and lesser time to spend on the computer, or the blog.

...

Damn.

It's been a while since I posted something proper.

Fighting.

Never felt so good.

I've been learning/studying combat sports for a few years now.

But, the feeling of the contact of my fist and my opponent's chin... is simply awesome.

Then again, the number of push-ups that I'm doing in each training is steadily increasing.

O_O

Laughter.

It's been a while since I laughed so crazily like yesterday.

It's as if I had done crunches.

My stomach vibrating violently, body aching for a while afterwards. The undeniable satisfaction of completion and achievement.

To put it simply, it was awesome.

But, it was different.

Very different from the laughter that I had almost everyday for last year.

So different, that I almost felt homesick.

Not the usual homesick.

A different kind of homesick.

Awesomeness

Come in the form of pain.

I never knew taking off a shirt to go shower hurts that much.

Mostly because I've done more PT than I have ever done - for two days.

My body couldn't even stretch properly; can't hit the dam ball in Tennis.

Shit.

And project work is piling up.

Oh man...

AND, Jap class starts this Saturday.

SO MUCH WORK, SO LITTLE TIME! D=

I need a break...

Sadism

Considering the fact that I have studying for about 13 years of my life, I have my fair share amount of teachers.

Of course, there are many different kinds. Mainly, the really nice ones, and the really bad ones.

Those are pretty straightforward. I'll just classify them as teachers I like or don't like.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, there is a new kind of teacher in my subgroups.

Sadistic teacher.

Now, this teacher, is unlike Ms J. Goh, not the really scary (though efficient) kind of teacher.

This teacher, is something like Mr. Jeremy Wong.

Only that she is a female, and she makes us... do things.

It's bad enough that there are only 2 guys in the classroom.

Mc's

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, almost everyone from my current class went to Mac's to eat today.

Other than playing my part as a future childhood educator, leading everyone there with 2 straight rows, we took quite some pictures.

I'll just show off the group ones.



Typical group.



No one had a "[=O]" face like me. Then again, Saunders block my facial expression.

And of course, one unglam one.

Really.

My sister was using the computer when I saw this article.

She was checking out her friend's blog, reading this piece of post that talked about Jackie Chan.

Apparently, recently, the actor spoke about the attitudes of Singaporeans.

The first one was about the laziness of Singaporean actors. I'm not going to complain about that since I have no idea what they are really like.

Of course there are reasons why I never watch local dramas.

The second one was about Singaporeans not having any self-respect.

Here:

Taken from Straits Times:

SINGAPOREANS have no self respect, action movie star Jackie Chan told an audience of businessmen.

He said this in the same speech at the annual Boao Forum in Hainan last Saturday, at which he said Chinese people need to be 'controlled'.

In that address, he reportedly said of Singapore: 'A lot of people are not like those in USA and Japan who voluntarily have self-respect. When you don't have self-respect, the government will have to control you.

'In Singapore, you have to abide by Singapore's regulations. In China,you can litter, In Singapore, try littering and you will be jailed immediately.' Shin Min Daily news had earlier this week published a transcript of his 'freedom speech' which touched on the issued of liberty in China.

The 55-year-old sparked an uproar after he told a business forum last Saturday that 'we Chinese need to be controlled', lamenting that freedom had made Hong Kong and Taiwan societies chaotic. 'I'm not sure if it's good to have freedom or not,' said Chan, who added: 'If we're not being controlled, we'll just do what we want.'

The backlash against Chan has escalated even after his spokesman claimed that he was referring to freedom in the entertainment industry and not Chinese society as a whole.

In China, a prominent Beijing academic is leading a group of locals calling for a boycott of Chan's 'Believe in China' charity concert on May 1, which will be the first music event held at the iconic Bird's Nest stadium.

In that speech, he also lashed out at Singaporeans' lack of social graces, The New Paper reported on Saturday. 'Sometimes, I wonder why I can't eat chewing gum in Singapore. Then, I think it's actually right not to eat chewing gum," he was reported as having said.

''If I let you eat chewing gum, those people will leave them on tables and chairs. They have no self-respect at all.' His comments have drawn a backlash from much of the Internet community here.

'What's up with him lately? Before he criticised our local female artistes for not working hard enough. Now this? I have suddenly lost respect for him,' said Gabriel_23 on the HardwareZone forum.


-----------------------------

My sister's comment was that Jackie Chan didn't have right to say this things.

But as she told me about her point of view, I thought, how much of it is not true? After all, people don't say things without a reason, right?

People.

Two of them came to my house today.

We played Street Fighter IV.

Lol.

I managed to win Leon in a record breaking 4 times!

He probably won me about 50 times though. We played quite a lot of matches.

QQ came and played a bit, but he got thrashed by us mostly. Though somehow, he did win me once when I used Ryu...

Interesting...



When he wasn't playing. Doing Cheena homework.

Farms

Visited a total three of them today.

Aerogreen, Bollywood Veggies and Kranji Farm Resort.

Met a Marist senior at Bollywood Veggie, but I had no idea who he was. I was wearing the Maris Stella Archery Polo T.

Anyway, I took some interesting pictures on my trip.

And I also had a deduction why a dragon fruit is called a dragon fruit.


The plants is sprawled in a way that makes it looks like a dragon.



This is the the new fruit growing out of the tree.



Apparently, there's a plant called "A Bui". Lol.

And lastly, the maid said that the baby looks gay with the white thingy on.



Lol.
