Its saddening.
To know that there are thousands of people on the other side of the world, living through tortures and pain day by day.
Its even more saddening.
To hear numerous stories of how their lives are being treated, yet no actions have been made.
This campsite is a place where children, parents,grandparents are locked up, beaten for minor mistakes.
Kids are beaten for finding mice in the field to eat.
Those who work too slow will be beaten up as well.
Or even, there would be any reason for the beatings.
Slavery
Starvation
Rapes
Tortures
Inhuman Experiments
It all happen everyday.
This is Camp 22.

I remembered many months ago, there were several reports of suspecting North Korea making Nuclear weapons and the fear from the surrounding countries that NK might sell them to terroists. Why did these strong, powerful countries like US and Japan, are afraid of a third-world country?
I was puzzled and began searching for videos and reports on the net; youtube..google video..msn..anything!
I was very much surprise to see how people are brainwashed by their late Great Leader Kim Il Sung, following his footsteps now is his son, Kim Jong Il.
The people simply WORSHIP these leaders, no one knows if they were sincere for everyone is afraid to speak up.
If you do, u'll most probably be executed.Your families and relatives will be spending the rest of their lives in Camp 22. OR maybe some other camps (who knows how many camps they got)..
The rest of the people...They continue to live their lives in isolation, completely no contact to the outside world.
It leds me wondering...
Is This Another Holocaust?
Why are we repeating our mistakes of the past once again?
Must the death toll rise up to many millions before the rest of the world take actions?
More and more unanswered questions kept raising.
The Americans are protesting the war between US and Iraq, President George Bush was once put into a difficult position of having the war for "World Peace" or whatever political or financial reason to bomb Iraq, or losing the support from his fellow citizens.
The main thing is:
Will the next President take serious actions against North Korea?
Will he risk his post and lose the faith & trust of the Americans?
When will the prisoners of Camp 22 get back their human rights?
I guess only time can answer these questions....

Based on the epic graphic novel by Frank Miller, "300" is a ferocious retelling of the ancient Battle of Thermopylae in which King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Facning insurmountable odds, their valor and sacrifice inspire all of Greexe to unite against their Persian enemy, drawing a line in the sand for democracy. The film brings Miller's (Sin City) acclaimed grahpic novel to life by combining live action with virtual backgrounds that capture his distinct vision of this ancient historic tale.

300 website.

This movie received a mixture of critics, with many people loving the film while others hating it (very much), however i wasn't disappointed at the end on of the show though many seems to defer, complaining about the historical mistakes of this movie about the battle of thermopylae, and portraying the persians as deformed creatures. Everytime there's a movie based on historical events, these kinda thing would happen. I would say, just sit back and enjoy the show, treat it as an entertainment instead. If people like to complain so much, why not go watch a documentary?
For me i think this is an awesome film, i love the movie effects, all the 300 spartans with 8packs (photoshop-ed?), the SLOW MOTIONS ( i know its too many but i'm not sick of it), the fighting scenes and many more. The sad thing is, some people will not remember this film as much as Troy because Troy had great cast like Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom while 300, not many Singaporeans know of Gerard Butler.
Still, its a show worth watching! I'm gonna get the DVD! Yay!

It is 4am in the morning right now, i'm nocturnal once again.
There's isn't anyone online to chat with except for one friend who is taking a break while playing midnight mahjong.
Speaking of mahjong, more people (esp youngsters) are getting hooked to this game. A recent 'The Newpaper' article featured some kids playing mahjong during their past times and even inviting their friends over for midnight mahjong..It leds me to wonder, shouldn't kids be outside catching tadpoles, fly kites or other outdoor activities instead?
I was brought up in a family that never touches mahjong and no poker games during chinese new year until centuries later, one of my aunties couldn't resist anymore and took out a deck of poker cards, forming a large circle at my grandma's house and started gambling. I was sitting aside viewing and then i saw something which made me quite upset..
Two of my younger cousins, one was 12 and the other was below 10, were playing blackjack with the adults..Their luck were good and they were winning quite a lot from the Banker. My 2 cousins were happily counting their winnings, seeing their $10 ang bao money had increased to more than $30. I was quite upset when i saw this (not because i'm jealous of their winnings..!!!) i'm afraid kids at such young age would think that gambling is a good and easy way to get more money and eventually got themselves addicted to it.
I asked my auntie not to let them play, but her reply was, "nvm lah, once in a while." Argh! But..they are only KIDS, they are below the age of 12!
Maybe parents should ask themselves, "are they setting good examples to the kids?"
Anyway, here's something interesting which i heard from my uncle:
吸烟身体好,
喝酒没烦脑,
麻将练头脑!

Yay! Finally i got the little devil out of my mouth. I was petrified with fear during the whole surgery.
My friend taught me this trick he used during his dental visits, "pretend that you can still feel a slight pain so as to let the doctor inject more anaesthetic." haha..tts really smart, i didn't try it out but i requested for more anaesthetic.
The funny thing is i actually thought of the film 'SAW3' as i pictured Dr Tan cutting my gums open, esp during the drilling process..
Remember near the ending of 'SAW3', the doctor was peforming an operation on jigsaw by drilling through his skull? That was exactly what i was thinking during the whole drilling process!! i blasted the music in my ipod because the sound freaks me out totally..whats more, i could feel a slight pinch at one moment during the drilling and i was told it was because he was drilling close to my nerve.
The anaesthetic is gone now, its been more than 12 hours after the surgery and surprisingly i have not feel any pain yet, I can still eat but everything must be taken in small bites. Not much swelling so far but i heard the 2nd day will be much worse.
Its been a terrifying yet great experience, thanks Dr Tan for such a great job! =D
oh btw, no one wants to take a look at my tooth..but who cares, i'm gonna post it here..HAHA!
here it is:
hmm..yar, does look a little disgusting..=x

whee~!! So glad after catching up with my secondary sch friends again! The chalet was at Changi Safra again..i love tt place even though its kinda inaccessible..
The chalet itself was alright, coz it has been raining all d while which made us had had limited things to do, so we spent most of our time indoors and did a number of silly things..
The best part of the chalet is where we 'drunk' ourselves with drinking games at night ( no alcohols btw..only water n soft drinks)..
Lets say..if u pick a number 5 poker card means u'll have to drink 5 cups of water~
every card has its own rules..if breaking anyone of them the forfeit will be drinking as well.
After which everyone rushed to the toilet..really hilarious! haha...
will be seeing the bunch again on Saturday but i'm missing them already!
