" With radiating waves, a skull and crossbones and a running person, a new ionizing radiation warning symbol is being introduced to supplement the traditional international symbol for radiation, the three cornered trefoil.
The new symbol is being launched today by the IAEA and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to help reduce needless deaths and serious injuries from accidental exposure to large radioactive sources. It will serve as a supplementary warning to the trefoil, which has no intuitive meaning and little recognition beyond those educated in its significance."

So, umm I guess we take it to mean you can run but can't hide from deadly, deadly radiation? Hmm...interesting.

CNY holidays are umm...rather good and bad at the same time. Good, 'coz I have a lot of free time on my hands. I get to watch TV a lot, and slack a lot. Plus, learn some new stuff. Bad, 'coz I've hardly done much work. Let's see - econs essay, chem tutorialszzz (do and revise like 36 million), bio tutorialszzz (same as chem) and maths tutorial. I hope I can finish it soon. Hmm. Currently slogging away at econs. It's like boring >< I'd rather do a philo/english/lit essay anytime. Or even GP for that matter. I like GP! <3 It could be attributed somewhat to the fact that I find that writing (as in prose/verse- ish) somewhat relieves stress. Speaking of which, I have hardly bothered with verse till school started. Must work on it!
Recently, my class came up with this funky idea. Basically we come up with nicknames for ourselves in this format -> [s03k (add in) ]. There are a lot of random names, haha. Erm, mine is kokokrunch! (For whatever reason you can think of) xD That's my class for you. Hmm, we are also thinking about a class blog but its only tentative, I think.
I have to start reading fiction man...The only things I've been reading for some time now are my time magazines, print/online newspapers and such. Becoming too much of a GP boy already. Eeeyer...(not that GP ain't fun or anyth) Oh on a side note, Mr. Ali is damn cool! He taught us 36 million card games during take.5 Haha. Coolioz.
One more thing. Britney went bald?! Woah - eyesore. Not that she isn't one already. Heh.

Hmm. Haven't updated for quite some time... Anyway, life has been going OK-ish so far. Though there are a few things that I have lost sleep over. But well, live and let live. Whatever.
On another note, Go Singapore! I admit I'm more of a fair-weather "fan" than anything else, but I hope they do win or something. So that we can be above-noob at something. Da-dad, dadada, dadadadaaa...butoh! *clapclap*
Organ sale? I'm tempted to write an essay about that or something...and go all philo/GP on it. But I'm feeling kinda lazy, maybe later. Well, one thing that pissed me off was - how do organs become commodities? And people won't donate organs but they would willingly buy/receive them for free? That's 100% concentrated, unadulterated Singaporean self-centered BS. I for one would donate my organs when I die. I mean, your organs aren't gonna help you while you are rotting away. Might as well help save lives right? Headline in 2027 - Mr Chin Chao Cheong Sam becomes made his first million in the organ export/import trade!
I read this
article recently, by this dude - Pranay Gupte. (by way of my GP tutor)
He is some journalist, who has like '36' years of experience in the field. Apparently, he had worked with many esteemed press agencies and such. He went to work with ST, having left his previous post (only God knows why?!) The article is basically about his unsavoury experience with TST. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Somehow, this article just further adds to my notions with regards to the
quality/credibility of TST. Take note though, that this dude was also involved in some other funky stuff. Like this
Read. His credibility could be in question here. I wonder.
Vista. Bleargh. If I do buy it, I would only do so like next year. When everything begins to run fine and dandy (if that does happen). If I had the dough, I would totally get three computers. An Apple, a PC, and one with Ubuntu Linux. The first and the third look so pretty!
I don't think I am thinking straight. Conflicting emotions? Whatever. It may/may not happen. Propects are like totally confusing. Well maybe, just maybe - screw this emo BS. I was never emo in the first place, so let's not start.
So this is how my world spun thus far. Good ole' boxing for that one hit KO.
