NS Deserters....

bleh!

i don't believe this...they are letting young men who got away scot free from National Service, by fleeing to other countries, come back to Singapore after donkey years later...only to slap them with a fine of $5000...and most if not all are not even jailed?!?!?!

Under the enlistment act if i remember clearly, those who evade can be fined up to $5000 or sent to jail for up to 3 years or both... hey even those who evade National Service and get sent to jail whilst in Singapore ...bloody hell

They should not even look at the merits of that person man...what the heck...how can this happen???

I believe the parliment should look at redefining the enlistment act and make it harsher for would be offenders...the jail term is alrite considering the NS term is 2 years now (hey at least whilst in jail they serve out that time to society) ...but hey at least raise the amount fined to at least $200,000 to $500,000 man... that will surely raise the bar a level up higher for would be rich kids who's daddies or mummies can afford to pay their fines when they actually return... crapz...

rationale for the higher fines...easy... if on average a NS boy can earn $24,000 a year, plus CPF amounting to $3,000 (est) thats $27,000 and for the 2 years he's going to serve, thats a whopping $54,000 money in income... not considering the interests he might be getting from savings and CPF....so the fines should be significantly higher than those by at least 4 times...

so why should this fellow, who got away scot free even though he is 49 years old now...pay only $5,000 at most...he's had it easy i say...don't come and say you did Singapore proud by being a world class pianist... others have done Singapore proud too and they did if after serving their NS

yes yes, say I not gracious enough, or singapore should be gracious to its citizens...but how can we let a black sheep in this case get let off the hook so easily...

probably do something more drastic, should be good.... if the boy runs and dun come back after 3 years from the day he suppose to serve NS, take back his passport and make it invalid, make him a fugitive... for such a person, he dun deserve our gracious help at all, because he can only think for himself and not for the country and greater society as a whole...

Catch I Win, Fined You Lose

bleh...no more wondering...no more catchy stuff

we are at the dawn of a new age...we are being spied monitored by "internet police"

damn... so now even the last place on earth where privacy is most freely encouraged is at RISK

so now i really wonder...if you get sued... you get fined... who gets the money? the adminstration who handled the case?...so we've got the whole list...

BUT more importantly, if they (the authorities) say they protecting the interest of the "original artiste and firms" do the "original artiste and firms" actually get the MONEY?

quite hard to say for now... i really hope they will shed light to this...maybe if they are transparent to this, helping educate the masses, it might get the people to start buying original =)

On-Line Fiasco

yeah the news is spreading quick, the dawn of a new age, the age of internet policing...

stopping internet file sharing is hot topic out there... i really wonder...will we be able to stamp out such activity?

why dun they just stop it at the root...making CDs...un-copy-able... or unextractable for duplicates... ok sounds extreme...and it would mean the end of mp3 players etc...lol




















yeah, its such an irony... the 'yanks' started the piracy...the 'yanks' start culling their own piracy...

maybe this world would be a better place on-line and off-line...if the 'yanks' stop telling people how to lead our lives? stop making things and ending up putting new rules and regulations...

bleh... now i wonder why the world's greatest economy is the greatest economy... they just need to do that ---> do, undo, do, undo, until they leech every dollar and cent

Who's that Playa?

haha

its time to unveil the new me....

falah-nah sem ashno zalah!

A Magic Trick Gone Wrong on Messenger

was talking to my 'sista' last night, well we entered into a conversation about movies... and she mentioned about the magic trick in andy lau's latest movie... it was quite cool and pretty enchanting if done correctly...

but then writing in words over msn is quite hard to describe the trick lah... so being a kind 'sista' she drew a picture for me...


on the left (left hand) is the chain, on the right (right hand) is a ring...up to you to choose (quite harmless at this moment)






now you slip the chain through the ring and in one fluid motion to make it look magical...(ok here comes the freudian slip, i'm not going to mention how funny this drawing is... hey we are not corrupted people arrrr =p do i have to censor?)







ok so if you follow the motion =) you should get the final product...the chain with the ring together like a necklace...







ok sometimes these are funny moments in our lives, and how better not to capture it in pictures and blog? =p thanks 'sista'

The Next 45 years

not many would ever look that far, in fact i dare say most of you reading this, won't even bother thinking that far ahead...

i envision a future so fantastic, its almost quite amazing... apart from talking about my own personal life, the next best thing will be how we all will evolve and the technology that comes with it...

it seems that our progress is surely so fast in recent years, commonly known incurable viruses might be eradicated by that time... i think medical science look so bright with stem-cells research being on the up-swing of events... imagine we can repair our bodies using our own cells...thus prolonging lifespans by a good number of years... in fact it might lead us to immortality =) hahaha

bio-mechanics, leads to implants for renewed life for people who are incapable or have lost that through accidents or since birth...

computing power is definitely a constant leap, so much so we might be using holographics to supercomputing powers unimaginable compared to today's standards...

arrrr... the most exciting prospect for me, would be space travel and exploration... by then man would have set foot on nearby moon again and hopefully to mars...

despite the ups, i guess the downs are pretty much dampening too... unless we do something about it, which most likely will be heading no where...

the gap between the rich and poor will just get bigger... unless we do something to drastically reduce population in poorer nations and increase population in wealthier nations... its about balance, the huge population cannot be supported by an inadequate resource...

well....

Chinese History

had a good chance to catch up on books i usually prefer... well history books! hahaha

i guess not many people would love reading it, but somehow it intrigues me so much i feel i'm always living in the wrong era, much rather be the one writing history than reading them...

was reading alot on chinese history... of course the famed dynasties of the 3 Kingdoms to the earliest Shang, and the later Ming, Tang and Qing...Not forgetting the Qin too where all of Ancient China was presumably unified under one banner...at least during that time.

of course the ancient folklores and legends are very interesting, and sometimes you really wonder, wowz those people or beings are so damn cool... in fact i have a few favourites... fact or fiction, if they did walked the earth and did the things they do, its pretty amazing...

zhuge liang, a.k.a kong ming, or sleeping dragon, is probably all of ancient china's most well known intellect, the number one advisor that lived throughout his time...woo weee!

then you have people from the warring state era, in the likes of sun tzu and sun bin...where the sun tzu (zi) war manuals were thought of...

how about the time during the tang, ming and qing dynasties, where a few known emperors who have shown great leadership and management, quite amazing actually.

of course we must not forget the inventions that were founded by the chinese people over time...pretty amazing stuff

the compass, gunpowder, printing press and paper, the wheel-barrrow, abacus, silk, kites, iron-casting, origami of course the stern to rudders in ships...

not bad at all yah? well the inventions sure accelerated alot of areas in the future... of course not the chinese ones but european and middle-eastern technologies...

yah sadly it was the europeans and middle-eastern people who were more enterprising to move forward and improve, unlike our ancient chinese people...sadly the cause of their own backward demise for such a long time...

i could really imagine had the chinese people went forward with their inventions how many years would they have leap forward, at least 200 hundred years at least...oh wellz...too late now...

if they had done it, we might have been living in an age of space travel...thats what i presume...coz it din take long for the europeans to move from normal ornamented pistols for royalties to big boom cannons and gatling guns...and at least during the last hundred years, our move from air-flight to space flight(ok not deep far space kind lah)

our computers of today, from where we started off....wooo weee! alot of advancement i would say...well i sure wish we moved faster and leap frog into the 23rd and beyond century inventions instead...

come on chinese people! we can do it...lol (i not being biased here arrr) after all we do make up approximately 1.3 billion people at least world wide? i'm sure there is the talent and creativity amongst us and of course the rest of the world to think. =)

of course i would say the time spent on warfare did some improvemensts...but nonetheless it was for war only...not to improve lives at all...hahaha

well i must have been reading too much history books hahaha

"hanging of australian dude"

some extracts i took from this website...
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,17040262-421,00.html?
from=newsquote1


some lamers....who have no inkling clue to what they are saying at all...they should really think before saying

From: Steve
Comment: My best mate died of a heroin o/d caused by people like this. But still, taking more life doesn't solve the problem, even though he's not a real Australian we should still bomb Singapore and occupy their country for this act of aggression against an Australian citizen.

From: Neil B
Comment: The Singapore Government is an unelected dictatorship with no real legitimacy. How can the execution of a drug trafficker be justified by a government that is well known for allowing the laundering of the proceeds of drug trafficking throughout the region through its financial system? This is morally wrong and the Australian Government should end its relationship as far as possible with this morally reprehensible regime.

From: Andrew F-R
Comment: Ironically, Singapore uses the fact it is a civil and safe place with little crime to justify a barbaric and outdated practice.


some constructive comments..

From: Anthony M
Comment: PM Howard is introducing death penalty with shoot-to-kill in anti-terror laws. Why should we complain about other countries?

From: Andrew L
Comment: Anyone who breaks the law in another country should face the laws of that land. And for drugs like heroin they should get the death penalty for the crimes and misery it creates later if it gets to its destination.

From: Johnathan C
Comment: I would like to remind everyone it's 400g of PURE heroine that would be processed(if I didn't remember wrongly) to make more of the stuff that ruins families. Let's remember that heroine addiction not only affect the addicts, but the lives of people around them, family, children, friends, people they rob, people who get injured or died in the process of robbery. Is the destruction of so many families and healthy lives is not MASS murder? Do advise me on a better terminology. Also, drug traffickers often purposely choose Singapore as a point of transit because passengers from Singapore (because of the tight checks) are often assumed by custom officials from other countries to be relatively clear of items like drugs, guns, explosives, bio-hazardous materials (anthrax etc) resulting in a more relaxed and expedited customs processing. So in a way Singapore is the victim here.

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

so the big hoo haa here is some people dun like the way our govt is doing away with drug traffickers, by hanging that is...

i guess stopping the root of the problem would be to get rid of the drug lords... but have you seen any country taking a step ahead against them? USA maybe? no? Britain? no?

what is the best way is to deter would be "carriers", education and social support... less people carrying drugs, less people take drugs...all these needs for capital punishment will eventually be stopped...

so i totally support capital punishment in the mean time despite is cruel subtleness..

"airlines"

the competition is heating up and muahaha SIA is on course to be the first airline to fly this mega-flying machine...

now now...who needs the hopping kangaroo as a partner...go fly kite i tell you...we will kick your butts goodbye... ultra-protectionist... you will never go far...

ok some background info on this flying fortress..

Details:
A380-800 Range 14,800km (8,000nm).
A380-800F - Range 10,370km (5,600nm).

A380-800 - Wing span 79.8m (261ft 10in), length 72,75m (238ft 8in). Height 24,08 m (79ft)

Standard seating for 555 passengers on two decks in a three class

A380 has 49% more floor area but only 35% more seats (in 555 seat configuration) than the 747-400, allowing room for passenger amenities such as bars, gymnasiums and duty free shops. (now now, isn't it COOL!)

Using the most advanced technologies, the A380 is also designed to have 10-15% more range, lower fuel burn and emissions, and less noise.

of course we all know that SIA being SIA, we would never use the max 555 seats...haha they most likely will offer less seats in exchange for more comfort and plenty of comfort zones for the passenger... as usual top class act =)

"There will be less than 480 seats in a three-class configuration on the Singapore Airlines A380" extract from Singapore Airlines website.

now how cool can we get...oooh la la...can't wait to fly soon hahaha
