hearty.
i am feeling better today, after a pretty good night's sleep (exclude the weird dream.) and a whole day of slacking about. ahh, dont you just love non-school days.
report on food intake: a large mash potato from kfc; 2 mouths of bee hoon soup.
report on food intake: a large mash potato from kfc; 2 mouths of bee hoon soup.
p.s: not being anorexic here. just plain impossibility for real food intake from horrid hurting of braces and protector. i do obsess about pizzas and fried chicken and french fries. i am deadly sensitive to people chewing currently. i just want to bite off the heads of those mechanic digestion in action. grr.
anyways. since i am bored, i shall upload pictures from the past few days.
wednesday,
taken after i finish with some last minute work for my speech. i find myself working best under pressure, no matter how much brain cells it caused me. but you know who's the best impromptu master? sean the-paul chia. he does pretty amazing speeches, conjured up in just an hour before the presentation. hate that he has the magic to conjure a speech of calibre.
there. my speech (more complete when presented with the visual aid i did):
10 years ago, an accident that took place on a chilly night in Paris on the 31st of august 1997, grieved the world one way or the other.
Everybody around the globe mourned for the tragic loss of a wonderful woman, a mother, daughter, wife, friend and princess.
Driver Henri (on-ri) Paul had a blood alcohol level twice the British limit for driving. And he was driving at the speed of 61-63 miles per hour, twice the speed limit. The Mercedes slammed into a pillar, and there goes a significant humanitarian and philanthropist.
Good afternoon Mrs. Medora, ladies and gentleman. Today, I stand before all of you with a desperate sense of urgency to call upon your support to the implementation of tougher measures to stop people from driving under the influence of alcohol.
Drunk-driving – the act of operating a motor vehicle after having consumed alcohol or any other drugs to the degree that mental and motor skills are impaired - not only inflict physical injuries, it crumble families, destroy livelihoods, rob happiness from your sides, leaving many at the point of utter depression and desperation.
While the presence of Elton john’s song “Candles in the wind” commemorates Princess Diana’s unfortunate death, there are, in fact, many other drunk-driving victims who left the world and their loved ones quietly and with no piece composed in their loving memory.
So, why, if I may ask, does our society not adopt the mindset of zero tolerance towards this socially irresponsible driving behavior?
Why do we allow these criminals to put their lives and that of their fellow road users at risk?
Why is it that we should take action right away and implement tougher measures to eschew this reckless driving behavior?
From my point of view, it is because the current law is not strict enough to deal with unrepentant offenders. The law also does not provide enough fear to deter potential offenders.
Looking at the current law, First-timers if convicted will only be fined between $1000 and $5000 and jailed up to 6 months. For the second or subsequent convictions, a fine between $3000 and $10,000 and imprisonment up to a year will be imposed.
The court may also (I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THE UNCERTAIN NATURE OF THE WORD “MAY” HERE AND IT MEANS THAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT) impose enhanced punishment of a fine up to $30,000 and imprisonment up to 3 years on a third time offender. The offender will also be disqualified from driving for at least a year from the date of conviction or the date of completion of prison sentence, if any. This would in effect, invalidate his driving license.
However, it is evident from the statistics above that these sentences have not inculcated a road safety conscious mindset as the number of people arrested for drunk driving rises from year to year in the period of 4 years from 2003-2006.
Therefore, I propose a couple of measures to counter-fight the inefficiency of the current law.
Revised sentences include Fines starting from a minimum amount of $6000 and convicts being jailed for a minimum of 12 months. Third offenders should be caned one stroke or more, and all convicts should be suspended from driving for at least 24 months.
In conclusion, because of the indignant deaths are caused by reckless drunk driving, there is a call for harsher punishment for the villains by the vicissitudes of fate. There should be a “a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye" kind of law; what goes around should come around; and karma should happen.
And because, WE PEOPLE want to see justice done,
WE do not want to let an offender pay a mere fine or serve a short jail term and get off scot-free.
WE refuse to let A single man’s folly break a nation’s hearts.
So, join force with me and stop them. drink, be merry. But do not kill others in a blurry.
Thank you.

special thanks to YIYAO!
after kicking medora's ass with my speech (she was in a pms bitchy mode. dissed a couple of people, said i lack "eye contact", which i totally disagree. she happened to look at me when i glanced at my speech!) and lunch with binny and nur, niss convinced me to be her model, and we went to binny's place to do her advertisement poster for ica. what fun media students have eh!
we were so serious! we read the "script"! binny and i are 25-year-olds, and we're suppose to be a married couple who enjoys making homemade chicken rice made from chung kee oily mix. or something.
kitchen shot wasnt that well. so, we moved to dining shot! which includes ready-made dinner. notice how the hainanese chicken is roasted. but we replaced it, by taking all the skin out. after like a gazillion shots.
we ended up eating and camwhoring. cause niss said she had the shots already. YAY amateur models!I LOVE BINNY'S HOUSE. STOCKED WITH TONS OF FOOD. yah, niss?
by the way, I LOVED THE TIME SPENT WITH YOU AND BINNY, NISS! I HAD FUN!
binny, you're one hell of a sweet ass (video almost made me cry.). right, niss?
(binny refused to take any pictures after the ones for niss' ica. he says it would "de-value" his face. hah!) i am fat and i need a diet. boo. well, i think braces are taking care of that. i cant eat anything.thursday,
had braces.
wasnt anything much else. and nothing happy. well, except for some secret escape (read it as "ass-ka-pear") which totally made my day, despite the bloody pain on braces and protector. i shant tell you. only nur, who's far far away in kuching, knows. heehee.
and on the train home, i cant help but take a sneaky picture of this person. notice her super huge white bear clip on her head. it's all just WRONG and i hate TWITS and i hope they DIE and not infest and pollute the air WE breathe (provided you're not a twit.). okay, i am grumpy. blame it on the pain.
can you say "EWW", "UGH", "URGH"? i am sorry i am such a bitch. shoot me.and,
can you guys who cant see my face cause you guys are far away in some foreign country studying (too bad. who told you to leave me for learning.) STOP telling me to take a bloody picture of myself with my teeth/braces bared at the camera? I AM NOT UGLY BETTY! I REFUSE TO BE! AHH. people with braces shouldnt even take photographs! they should hide in their room till the day those metals get off. okay, not true. but you know what i mean.
also,
thanks to you unknowns, (i did mention i cant stand anons right?) who provided information on kissing with braces. and some just their plain concern. erhm.
anonymous: kiss who ?
anon: poo-whee. braces are cool! learn to love it. i had them too!
unknown (number one): it doesn't matter if you have braces tyng. just kiss like normal.
unknown (number two): are you craving for kisses??? kiss who???
haha: HAHA just kiss i guess (: enjoy
i was just raising the question as a point of relevant information. i didnt have anybody in mind when i raised it. alrighty? i'll be sure to let you all know when i DO kiss somebody with (my) braces. haha. BUT, can i really just kiss like normal, not to say, enjoy? i have my doubts and reserves.
NISSA: HAHA! "tyng wants to make-out." and "anybody who knows somebody with braces but can french like hot-hell?"! TYNG NAUGHTY AH.
niss, you too! stop teasing! we all know YOU're the naughty one! hahahaha.
ta-ta.
xoxo.
KEEP THE TAGS ROLLING! LOVE!
