Little Specks Of Earthly Activities...
Thought of the day...
If I feel strongly that something needs to be done, I better go ahead and voice it out or forever remain in silence. At least I know I have done it. I will not regret that I did not do what I should have done days down the road.

If do not blog for a day, it means the world has became bored (to me) for the day.

Interesting email incident today. Today in my email, I saw a games invite email with HIS email addy on it. Instantly, about a hundred thoughts came to my mind. Should I open and see? Yes.
The email was like any other unsolicited email inviting me to go sign up some game site. Another hundred other thoughts came to mind. Should I participate? Should I let him know that I am as friendly even though what happened? Should I just show him that I am ok and I can respond to the invite positively?
No. Yes. Yes.
The Yes won and I went on to click on links after links, filling up details page after page. It's only when I came to the page where the website asked me to fill up credit card details that I found out that I have been doped by internet marketing.
Well, at least I know where I stand now. I am willing to stay in contact with him. I am willing to be a friendly person to him. But the feelings is now minimum hatred, more willing for reconciliation.
But... it's not always felt the same way on the other side of the scale.

Our government is really very very rich. Each person a few hundred... Each household a few thousand... Millions of Singaporeans...
Very, VERY rich.
.... .... ... . . . .
Many people questioned about the intention of the giveaway. For me, it's just right here right now. Whatever will be, will be. At least the money comes in handy for those people who need it for their daily necessity, like school fees, food for the kids, utilitiy bill, telephone bill, rental of flats... In view of all these, do you think they care if that is an underhand manner the government is doing in order to win votes? I don't think so.
To them, it's a very practical way the government is telling them, "I want to help you." For those of you who have never tasted poverty, who lives in a 5-room flat, or own a car , or who wouldn't bat an eyelid for an imported CD, home entertainment system, air-condition, designer bags, club, drink, smoke... and still complain that the government has a motive in doing this...
You will never understand how grateful the destitutes are to this money. At least the money is put to good use to those who need the money. Whether for small pleasures or big bills, it's money they need that they can't get any other way.

PGH sms-ed me and ask if I am interested to join the Purpose Driven Life group tonight. This is the 2nd time I was asked. I don't feel like going and replied her at mid noon to tell her that I am not available tonight. I don't like to lie, but can't think of any other better way to say no. Guess I will have to come clean if she is going to ask me again.

Was at NTUC and passed by the pasta shelf. Decided that tomorrow will be pasta-tryout day. Bought 2 packets of spaghetti, and 2 cans of sauce that looked like they are invented for simpletons like me. Will get meat (beef hopefully), tomatoes, olive oil, herbs and spice (advice from colleague) tomorrow.
Hear it here tomorrow... from FFTF!
