Anyways, night safari outing progressed very well. Some hiccups here and there but a blast nonetheless. Its on my pending-update list aye, coz the PICTURES are still beyond my reach. :)

Now now, in my moments of boredom, i started reading news online and guess what i stumbled upon on this wonderfully ominous morning...

one od the many headlines that instantly annexed my attention : Vietnam halts plan to ban short and flat-chested motorists

HANOI - Communist Vietnam has suspended a much-criticised plan to ban very short, thin and flat-chested people from driving, state media reported on Wednesday.

The new draft guidelines on motorcycle and car drivers had drawn widespread criticism and ridicule from motorists, newspaper readers and bloggers since they were published by the health ministry two weeks ago.

Under the 83-point plan, people shorter than 1.5 metres (4.9 feet), lighter than 40 kilogrammes (88 pounds) or with a chest circumference of less than 72 centimetres would no longer qualify for new drivers' licences.

The proposal worried many in this nation of slender people and spurned jokes about traffic police with tape measures enthusiastically flagging down female motorcyclists, and predictions of a run on padded bras.

The justice ministry has asked the health ministry to temporarily suspend and review the plan, the Vietnam News daily reported.

"After receiving public opinion about the decision, the health and transport ministries agreed there had to be changes," senior health department official Tran Quy Tuong was quoted as saying by the state-run daily.

*cries of the crickets*

What the hell right. The Vietcongs must be turning in their graves. Like how seriously 'uncommunistic' is that? So much for an egalitarian society based on common ownership and what other bullshit they tend to throw in to make it so officially noble. Especially for the less formidable ones, the ones without the asset or an upper hand. Ha, but when it comes to boobs, dear, its a different story altogether, communism or not. Can you imagine what its gonna be like? The Viet police force is gonna go around the country chasing down flat chested women (im particularly interested in this part of it, who cares about the short ones). I can't wait for the plan to kick in. Fucking out of this world.

But hey, this could potentially boost their tourism industry. For those who are deprived of laughter, do hop on one of those budget flights to Vietnam asap. cheap cheap wan.

Its beautiful isn't it? The silence you hear when u realise how insignificant you have been. When all they wanted was a fool they could laugh at and cry on. You unknowingly played that fool. A perfect role for the perfect soul with too much conscience. You should have turned a cheek to them, but no, instead you slide out of you way to please them. Fucktards. Its not worth a worry. Not a word of this anymore.

*yawns* I finally manage to remove the battery pack from my laptop, for the first time ever. Hahhaha. Fucking suaku. Yeah... Cash flow proves to be a chore. Blaergh. I knew something was wrong when the ass i had didnt appear as curvy as i had expected it to be. Ha! Only a building student would totally decipher what i just said. haha. Let this me our lil secret. Lecture ended early this evening. So how could i ever refuse dinner at orchard considering our CMO accomplishments. Seriously, I think that Uncle just thrives on our misery. The helpless looks on our faces are like fodder to his ego or something man. The more you look lost, the more he'd wanna thrust stacks of tender documents into your face. He scares me. He too has that eye-contact intensity. You know what, thats like a common trait among my supervisers. Anyways, i got my 'employer letter' for my attachment, today. Its serious shit man. Like, im suppose to report to work and stuff. The guy who's supposedly my ...

It's been a while. World Cup came and went. It brought the champs out of Italy. I can't contend with that. They were excellent. Goodbye Zizou. It's sad to see you leave on an unpleasant note. But hey, u could only get what you asked for. So the next world cup would be held in South Africa. Another continent altogether and a whole new game to look out for. Speaking of which, my sis is already saving up for a trip to S. Africa so she could catch the next world cup game, without having to squint through pixelated motions. Now hows that for an ambition. I wanna start saving up for that too. But you know me, always wanting to a larger stride ahead of others, I'm a culture vulture who feeds on differences to survive. Now that means, i have four years to make friends with peeps living around South Africa. :) If you are hot, have a six pack, preferably male and willing to escort some chicks from the east in the year 2010, just holler back aight. Well, parents included. Moving o...
