drugs + work + friend

an individual wrote to the straits times today and he swore to boycott all products and services by singapore and refuse to visit singapore until the death penalty legislation is amended. he is one who is against the death penalty of nguyen van tuong stating that it is inhuman and costs much more to put him on parole than to let him off. i had thought it to be pretty myopic. no doubt, we frown at death penalties but i don't see why you should close a case because of its price. we are not being rational to use cost to justify a lighter sentence. how much of a child's play would it sound like should the verdict read, 'the appeal of nguyen van tuong is successful due to the expensive cost to send him to the gallows'.
well, i got a call today from may who managed to get me a potential job offer and i accepted it. the last hurdle will be the company itself to decide if they would want to hire my services. *pray* if i manage to get this job as well, my ibanez rg1520g could be on the way!
i got a surprise mail from a long-lost friend who hadn't contacted me since she left for seoul to treat a rare disease. i had thought she'd probably have forgotten me but surprisingly, she didn't. very glad to hear from her after so long. while doing this, i just got her mail again and coincidentally, she mentioned about the hanging of nguyen van tuong she heard over the news. she said that she heard that singapore's law is extremely strict and this brought to my mind of another foreign friend who thought that if you get caught spitting or littering in singapore, you will get jailed and caned. lol... i really wonder who gave them that idea.
if you've been wondering why i have been reading the papers so much, it's because sis got dengue fever last week and has been on mc since then till now, so i have been grounded to look after her since no one else is at home. and because of that, i haven't been eating regularly. sometimes i really think i would be really successful in losing weight despite not exercising much nowadays. thankfully she is recovering and will probably be at work from friday. could be my chance to start gaining more weight. could be.
