These days, I'm afraid to switch on the news, it's nowhere near encouraging news and it's getting a bit repetitive although me knows it's a different story. It's like the news casters have a template which goes like this:
______(country) has been hit by ________(Disaster).
The country has been overwhelmed by the amount of rescue efforts needed.
Survivors of the disaster are recieving little or no aid and they lack even the most basic necessity
Looters have surfaced and are mainly scavenging for food and other neccessity.
Government officials admit they're overwhelm by the diasaster and insists help is picking momentum.
Meanwhile, the World bank has pledge $X millions of dollars and other countries have pledge $X millions of dollars.
X numbers of people have perished so far and fears hundreds more may be trapped.
It makes one think that the end of the world is coming. But that's not necessartrue. I think it's a sign that the earth is giving us. It's degrading to a state where it is starting not to sustain itself and break down. Kinda like the analogy of a sick earth. Nursing it back to health would require immerse cooperation from the world's leaders, but it seems they can't find a sticking point as economic development seems to be the infatuation of the countries nowadays.
Free riders comes in mass numbers
Today , I encountered some shock.Anything that does not fall within the limits of the normal norm comes as a shock to me. I was taking bus 96 from Eng to Forum busstop and that bus will pass through SDE bus stop. At that bus stop were like 50 plus vietnamese or cambodian students(which i realised later as they were talking in gibberish) in white uniform, boys and girls. So they hailed the bus and the bus allowed them to aboard. At first I though they're like gonna pay for the ride as bus 96 is not a shutter bus. But no, the whole lot of them got on the bus, from the front and the back. I bet the bus driver was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of students getting up and didn't stop them. And the fact that they were from another country, they probably didn't know the truth.
There's no point to the story, I just thought it's not something you encounter everyday.
Alrighty, changed my secret links page to a short blog webby. Me thinks it's too long too.
