Congrats to London!!!!!! But also condolences to London :(

Hihizzz everyone

How's the day been??whew its been such a normal day for me...plain plain juz like me.

Notice the title of the bloggie today???Yesh!!!Congratulations to London for getting the bid for the Olympics..lol i noe my cuzzie has been supporting Paris for the bid but too bad for them ahh..cos i know they were quite good also..haha in fact actually if London did not succeed in the bid i would have hoped for Paris to do so...therefore in the end i turn out quite happy over it.There was one thing though..i know Singapore is the host city for the CONFERENCE....but its not one of the candidates for the host city of Olympics..so there shouldn't have been so much fanfare over the whole thing.Its good if you bring publicity to the candidates,but hogging the limelight with such an expensive video to introduce Singapore??Well i don't think that the video was lousy,on the contrary it tried to bring out whatever it could squeeze about Singapore..haha which i have to admit,isn't a lot, especially after a lot of the good scenic locations have been torn down or been commercialized too much by good ole Papa(first 3 letters) psst psst u dunno who might be seeing.....gosh i might get sued for defamation??I just hope that all that money was well spent and our nation's tourism starts to pick up...and in turn improve our economy for a change.

The condolences part in the title was for the AWFUL and i mean AWFUL explosion that happened at the London underground...sheesh and it had to happen just after such a joyous occasion for the Londoners.Let's hope that no one comes out dead from this incident....sure reminds me of the Madrid blasts...terrorism all over again??I still remember when i was doing NS and guard duty increased all of a sudden because of the 9-11 affair....many dudes doing NS would be having lots of duties i am sure...good luck to them cos its sure sianz to kena this kind of duty.I know i might sound very unpatriotic but our nation's conscripts are after all conscripts and not willing people....

Saw on Zhongtian that a Taiwanese actress,Wang Jing Ying, who married into a rich family,had been hit by her supposedly charming and gentlemanly husband.The incident happened at a cafe when her husband suddenly stormed into the cafe and ranted at her.after which he splashed water from some cups at her...twice that happened.After the 2nd time,he took a bottle and smashed it,exposing the sharp edges...and he pretended to go lie face down at the bar counter....suddenly he turned over to his wifey's side and forced her head onto the table she was sitting next to.And then i think he smashed something on her forehead,resultant in her having to get stitches.whew so this tells us one thing...domestic violence is scary...and not just the hubby hitting wifey kind...the wifey hoot hubby kind also have okie?and all of this cannot be seen on the surface...brings us to think about the possibility of stress being a strong factor in this.

Another thing linked to this...maids who snap....woah...there have been so many cases reported in our papers of so many maids who became retaliatory...must be the stress and ill treatment also eh?Its also due to the fact that they get paid lowly and dun get too much rest...but then not all maids are treated so badly...a lot of them are being treated as family...its just that we only get to hear about the bad cases and not the good ones...cos good maids wouldn't be of any newsworthiness unless there's a sponsor holding an event such as outstanding maid of the Year.

Talking about journalism...i do think i would make for a lousy journalist...even though i am taking mass communications now...i do suck at writing don't I?haha partly also due to the fact that the only nose i have for sniffing out news is sniffing out lame things...and spewing them out lol :) Well i guess i would have to take time to develop a style of writing so to speak.Scooby Doo 2 is on now at HBO..dunno whether i would go watch it or stay online..haha but there would be Punch Drunk Love later which i think i should go and watch since this is one Adam Sandler show i have not watched yet.

Haha i think that's enough for the day..will stop for now..s.e.e.y.a people :)
