Farah's coming over this Saturday! Whee! My mugging partner. Maybe we'll have more spaghettis and pizzas, yes? I'll make them, you wash up. Simple. Then, we can mug for Econs and get that distinction together!
Hahaa..senseless, I know. Alrightey, everybody, please cover your mouths and contain your deep-set laughter, cos what I'm about to reveal is more absurd (at least to me) than anything coming from me. I have this sudden interest on saving the Earth. How many people realised that Mother Earth is dying? It's all because of our work and 'efforts' that is causing Mother Earth to be at it's wits end. We are consuming too much paper, burning too much fossil fuels and throwing away too much plastics! Come on, people, we have got to do something about this! We can't just depend on the Kyoto Protocol (which by the way, is gonna expire in 2012) to save our Earth, right? We have to be active, and don't waste paper la. It's as simple as that.
Next, I too realised that I'm a really strong advocate of human rights and children dying elsewhere because of hunger and the likes. I don't know what's up with me and human rights. It's like, ever since I joined SIMUN and was in the HR committee, I've been really passionate about such stuff. I stand by the International Declaration of Human Rights, and I abide through and through. Poor people. Here we are, manicly gorging ourselves with food and taking excellent care of our material well-being, and there are others elsewhere in the world who are dying and just scrimping to get past the day. Or even worse, we take our freedom of speech and want for granted, whereas others may not even have that privilege! Now, ain't we abusive or not? The point that I'm trying to make here is, if we can sit back and reflect on how lucky we are, maybe that would lessen the pain of others. I really pity those people who are not given the basic and most essential human rights. Oh, and a little advertising here, if any of you are free, watch Born Into Brothels, where the photog, Zana, delves in deeper into India's redlight district, and transforms the lives of children who are initially made into prostitutes. It's an amazing journey. I enjoyed watching it, cos it's so heartbreaking to see these kids being abused at such a young age. But a word of caution: Vulgarities are apparent, and so are stripping scenes. But it's a mature documentary, so it's fine.
With that said, now you guys can laugh at whatever I just wrote. Thank you. And please save the trees!
