First day of YOG

Hey guys!

So yea... Quite a few things have happened and I've pretty much forgotten them. Today is the first day of the first ever Youth Olympic Games and the torch has been passed in Singapore. Kinda lame if you ask me even though there is significance in the relay of the torch. What else... Gonna apply for NS checkup and I went for checkup on my injured knee. The doctor did some exercise on my knee and it seems he expected me to feel pain even after telling him I only feel pain when walking downhill and my knee feels like its giving way when running. The doctor says the only way to check is have MRI. So when I book for NS, probably have to request for MRI. Since my heart sometimes feels pain and the only way is MRI, probably can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

What else... Oh ya! Recently... Seems like theres a lot of weird news like recently, SIA girls smoking in uniform. What gives? They're humans after all. Why can't they smoke in uniform? It doesn't look good I agree, but as I've said, they're human. Can't expect them to change to "civilian" clothes to smoke, then change back and work right? Reminds me of the NS men and tattoos... What the hell man... Its art to some people, and you can't expect them to hide them when its on obvious places like that guy's arm. Someone said to roll down his sleeve. But rolling down means he's breaking "protocol" so if he doesn't do this or do that, it displeases the other, things that can be overlooked just do so.

Another news was, guys carrying handbags, I agree with the author of the article that girls who are not carrying anything should carry their own handbags, if not, guys just look gay... Seriously. And what's with the trend anyway? Just a few years ago, guys carry handbags to school.... And I heard that there are even guy handbags.... I honestly want to curse and swear right now.

So the articles are located here
Can't find the SIA girls smoking
Dating
Handbags

And something that came recently... Food served for YOG volunteers located here. I should probably read the entire article but I'm kinda too lazy. And people say I'm picky. Even if the food is cold and tasteless, I'd still eat the rice and the chicken. So long as its food that I can eat. And there seems to be an idea going on that I eat all fried food and only fried food which is certainly not true. I eat steam, grilled, barbecued and whatever other forms there are. I don't eat all fried food, curry puff is deep fried but I don't eat it.

Anyway... It seems like I have a lot of things to do during the YOG holidays. I've got to complete my projects. And I have to plan slightly more and let everyone know about the shoot to happen on Monday 23rd August. Hopefully I can pull it off with Aryani since apparently... My idea is more of glamour and Aryani is more of cute. Ah well... I guess more important is to try and learn from the experience as well as see the effects. After all, if it is successful, it can be repeated in different locations and situations.

The article on dating, brought up that there is a low marriage and birth rate in Singapore. Which reminds me of what we learnt in secondary school and reminds me of a question I had. If we need more youngsters to help to sustain the aging population, one day, that group of youngsters will become the aging population and require a even bigger group of youngsters to sustain.

Consider 1st generation to have 20
To sustain the 20, we need 40 in which 40 is 2nd generation
To sustain the 2nd generation, we require 80 which is the 3rd generation

And it keeps on going on and on... So eventually, the world may not have enough space to sustain animals and human life. But of course, I'm sure there are people who want kids and some who don't. The only idea I have is for everyone in the world, regardless of race or religion, to work and live together in harmony and respect each other. In doing so, it is possible to help sustain an aging population But of course, without something like money to motivate people to work, its tough. But a motivation I can think of is to create a good life for everyone.

In any case. Good day everyone and take care!
