ibook: the downside..

Just got the ibook back a week ago for a logic board repair problem, alas seems i'm unable to surf the web wired or wireless anywhere.... well at least i know lining up at apple center is a better thing rather than paying $20 for someone else to do it for you... sheesh...

Well got to clear my this week's workload by today, raining now damn shiok to sleep ^^

The Torture Chambers

Clean are we? Came accross this feature article in Singapore Window

http://www.singapore-window.org/tfhmemo.htm

Read through the whole memo, with sheer disgust and somewhat made me lose the utter respect for the system that has spawned such demons, why are they allowed to exist in the first place?

Surely this individuals will understand that judgement lies in the hands of the all powerful, they can hide in this physical world, alas burn in hell unless they show full repetence for the actions they have taken, prosecuting the innocent is never a good thing, especially if one is totally knowledgable about it, its so long ago 3 years after i came into this world.

It is in the past nevertheless, but a stain on what we can claim to be a so-called "Moral" society, why imprison a man for almost half of his life? Wheres the justice? Reasoning to prevent communism can be one of truth and that of utter bullshit just to suppress opponents whom might take power away from one, so can i rely on my leaders to intepret it in the correct manner? I doubt alot, really i doubt alot.......

Now Listening to - Coldplay: Politik

The blurity of it all....

Its upon the sheer stance of Murphy's Law i almost got myself into shit again, the internet wasn't working (No thanks to Starbum nb.....) the past night as i was rushing a dateline and i totally misunderstood the assessment timing for Monday(Yesterday), yes woe to me for not getting my work done at the soonest possible hour, but nevertheless i missed out a point in the time table for my Research & Comm studies project "Hand in by Friday 12pm", whilst the assessment date was 7th Nov 1330Hours.

Thank God i made a gamble by handing up a half done piece of work and was requested by my lecturer to hand up again on Friday, talk about being heng lol.

Although i urge the school to highlight the the point of handing up early apart from the other timings in which we have significantly gotten used to in the many previous time table we have seen in red and not put a small note down there, its supposed to be readable by all including the blur or unattentive :P

I intend to start uploading photos more intensively again, been taking a break with the camera.

Listening to GooGooDolls - Here is Now. <---Add this in, seems quite common blogs :)

Decisions Stay

I have been over the past many weeks been following and reading the sentencing of the Australian Nguyen Van Tuong to death for Drug-Trafficking, my honest opinion at first would be one of sheer sympathy for the accused, life is precious after all and shouldn't be wasted over a small amount of powder i've said.

Of course not all would share my sentiments, would i call this other group of individuals just people who want to see death for the sake of seeing it? Or was there a bigger picture behind this saga?

Lets face it, this is not the first time we have hung someone for trafficking drugs here in the small dot. We will never know the exact figures but i can know for sure the hangman has earned his fair keep from manning the gallows to ensure the law is carried out to the fullest extent.

Was Nguyen clearly aware that if he got caught trafficking drugs here he would be prosecuted and summarily hanged? I wouldn't know but all evidence points towards he had knowledge of it and went to do it anyway for the sake of his brother, good soul he has but what good has he done for his brother anyhow? The drugs never got to its final destination, he is going to die and all of his family will have to mourn for him, everything is lost but nothing gained but more sadness indeed.

Laws as we all know are in place for obvious reasons, i do not wish to offend Australians as i know there will be some who are quite emotional over this saga, we as a country will never bow to external pressure to make an exception of anyone, the laws are in place for a reason for the clear fact that we need to ensure drugs are kept out of the country at all times to safeguard the public, drugs do only bad, nothing more. And so is our government's attitude towards this matter.

So as another poor soul heads for the gallows, let us think, we might scream and shout and hold concerts to appeal for one man's life, but have we ever considered whether we are just making noise or truly making a point that executions should be abolished?

It'll be hard to think of it as good rather than the bad.
