another laid back week, and while i'm peacefully resting

been back from NZ for a week now. as usual, a whole week is spent catching up w frens, more time w my sis, try talkin 2 ppl whom i wanna talk with, play w my nephews n nieces if not watching them play, oh yea itz daniel's bday yesterday. really cute. played w him n sha sha 2, who used 2 b afraid of me, but no more. trully a king of the kids i am, for i play w them as if i m a peer of theirs..lol. but unfortunately i din take their pic w my fon. had chloe's from a dinner few days ago. another niece i hav. i can only say that my cousins r pretty productive lol. i would say there were some happy moment over wat i did over the past one week.

definitely i hav not started my project 2. n datz literally haha. hope i can really do it as i'm still pretty clueless, n i think itz far beyond my league :P sigh need lotsa work n assistance and luck :P

the other day, the general ethics lecturer was making fun of US middle easterns' policies, and the lastest one way bombardment of lebanon and Israel's menace across the country over 2 kidnapped soldiers. My lec wasnt happy w the fact that many innocence are punished over 2 soldiers and US ignorance in this case. well US certainly does not, n most likely will not offer a benevolent hand, without an interest to pursue. n wat other bigger interest lebanon can offer, aside from itz famous lebanon bread n kebab that yields bttr goal than free service to bomb Hezbollah? haha datz y syria and iran are the problem of the middle east rather than those which r engaged in bombs exchange. sniff sniff , they sure noe wat they r smelling.. :P definitely not bread and kebabs. sad, but thats how things work.

meanwhile, our neighbour records one of itz most unfortunate year in recent history. volcano eruption, earthquake and tsunami hit that country in 2 months. while casualties are mounting, the aid and international attention is barely wat it was 2 years ago. n certainly and more importantly, less is achieved than it should for the past 2 years to predict such forceful geo-thermalogical activities to bttr protect the people. sadly, dun think lotsa ppl, esp those directly affected realize this. probably wat most ppl in the region need 2 study is the elected government and every individual's inter-relationship and each and every party's responbility to establish a functional democratic sys. probably they should read social contract..lol daz a book i bought recently. finally some serious reading after mentionin social contract to impress for the past 4 years. hmmm sometimes i wished i did more reading in the past n not now n not in the future.

at homeland, i certainly dunno y should the wedding of a celebrity cover the whole front page rather than a constitutional dispute over a historical review of the 2 most prominent races in the country. its trully sad if itz a mirror of the depth of ppl interest nowadays. n i thot the media plays a role in educating the ppl. guess i was wrong. n certainly the gov has done much 2 prevent the periodic haze problem that itz solution or any proposal is still unheard of. itz really frustating especially something that ppl feel with their own lungs and body, personally and economically, is not comparable to the news that the engagement ring is worth 400k. wat hav i done? certainly nothing, most probably wat i hav been doing will be wat i will be doing. thatz y i'm whining here, jus like many other more who jus noe how 2 talk. tho i personally believe more in action than words, i certainly hav not lived up to my belief. sad, mayb, but daz how ordinary i am. definitely not alone tho.

the world 2day i feel is more threatened than eva. more challenges, more conflicts, more disasters, more deaths. it requires more resilience of humanity that could be preserved not through wars. united we stand. but through out history, it shows that it easier for us 2 fall 2gether. real politics. real life. datz wat many believe. still some reservation for me. i hope thats not a bad thing.
