I think there should be a rule that prohibit the hosts of Charity Shows to speak when artistes are doing some death-defying stunt cause I think it disrupts their concentration... I'm not exactly interested in their chattering about making calls to the donation lines and the number of opportunities in the lucky draw. I kinda dislikes these charity shows that dangles lucky draw prizes for people who donate cause I believe that donations come from the heart. The way they put it is 'Please donate so you can win a prize or get some discount coupon'. And their commercials run along the line of: "I donated and I'm the lucky recipient of a new car, or a windfall". Like do we always expect sth in return when we give.

Ok.. what a post to start off the new year. But I was just watching the tape of the "Affairs of the Heart' charity show and I really couldn't stand the hosts chattering when Tay Ping Hui was trying to walk the tightrope backwards in heels... Like just shut up lar... they went on and on about how many more minutes left before the chance to win $10K in cash is gone...

Okiez... The past year has been full of ups and down. I learnt a lot about myself which i think is good and becoming half-financially independent is quite a good thing but there are the many tragedies that happen on a large scale basis like the tsunamis and stuff... but then again, Life still goes on... I still gotta wake up early for school tmr... blah blah blah.. but i think you can really see the world kinda united for once, sending help, people of different races, different countries making donations to the affected countries... It brings people together... But then we mourn for the hundreds of thousand of lives lost. Family who got seperated, children orphaned.
I mean it's a weird thing to happen to 'usher in the new year'.

Other than that, I gotta switch myself to mugger-project-mode. See all smu-ers in school by next week... the only thing I'll be looking forward to is maybe the end of Thursday every week and no project meetings on Friday... Hahaha...
