riverview rise conference

Went to church today and took a quick pix for you ppl to have a feel of what RiverView is like.

For the past few days my sleep patterns are so screwed. Yes i do have 8 hours of sleep everyday, but its 4 hours at night and 4 hours in the afternoon. I so need to switch back.

I just got one more major assignment left which is due next monday, can’t wait for the liberation.

The events in the world have started me to re-think the concept of freedom. Does freedom belong to everyone?

Freedom comes to me as a social responsibility, cuz I think we gotta be responsible for our actions and make sure that what ever that we do in the name of freedom would not oppress the freedom of others, else wouldn’t that be so hypocritical and ironical?

I believe freedom comes at a cost, if you support freedom of speech, then don’t bitch about people hurling abuses at you. If you support the freedom to posses weapons, then don’t complain when your 7 year old daughter is killed in a playground by a lunatic having fun in a random drive pass spray of ammunition.

So if freedom comes at a cost would you be prepared to take up that cost while raving about the importance of freedom? How ready are we? Freedom is so overrated and people are so taking it for granted.

There is a lot of activity happening at SearchSG and I have to say that they are quite successful. I like it when ppl support locals, too many times we have heard uncontented ppl dissing about everything, its so sad.

SearchSG is a search portal for sites created by Singaporeans and its runned by GUY and kling. Support locals!!

A bit of Bossa Nova… ;D

Mas Que Nada (hear)
by Sergio Mendez & Brasil ’66

Mas que nada
sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba está animado
O que eu quero é sambar.

Esse samba
Que é misto de maracatú
É samba de preto velho
Samba de preto tú.

Mas que nada
Um samba como esse tão legal
Você não vai querer que eu chegue no final.
