haiz...

low morale today...raining since last night...

went for my first ever bible study on thursday..was quite interesting..might be going back next week as they are a nice and interesting bunch..

played football for the first time since more than a year ago...thankfully my ankle held up but i've really lost ALL my moves..can't even kick the ball properly...never felt so uncomfortable on the ball before..oh well..guess my time's over...but can go and train there every friday...and i'd probably need better shoes...SAF new balance sux for football...cannot control properly at all...

haiz....stupid rain dampening my spirits...making me feel lonely...though have 2 housemates...but different kinda loneliness...i mean they are great..but oh well...

watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics on telly last nite...one thought just kept floating in my head...they probably spent millions and maybe billions on the event...making elaborate costumes, special effects, fireworks yadah yadah...won't the money be more useful giving aid to third world countries? "Celebration of peace and freedom"...my arse...use the bloody money more fruitfully and that'll be the celebration...so many organisations asking for relief money...they just blew so much on an opening ceremony...and who benefitted from it? well..i'm sure the organising committee got paid loads...true, a lot of jobs has been created the last 3-4 years in Greece..what about after the games? unemployment galore...but who am i to say that right? i guess their economists have thought abt that...but it's still a whole lot of money wasted...

oh well...who cares anyway?

oh yah...went for macroecons tutorial on thursday and the tutor was comparing standard of living in singapore and aussie...well she said, Singapore may have bigger wealth per household, but what about quality time with family? so many parents in singapore leave their children at home with their maids, and they dun have quality time for their children. however in aussie they have more time to stay at home with their children, children are "given more attention" at home..so aussie has a higher standard of living....
sighz...ignorance...didn't know whether to laff or cry when i heard that...though i can't say that which country has the higher standard of living...i just have this to say...there is dole in aussie...there's no dole in singapore...in singapore...u dun make money..u die...in aussie..the govt feeds u... seems like there's alot more welfare here in aussie right? what abt the working population...what's the load on them? they are not only feeding their own family they are probably feeding their neighbours who refuses to go look for work because the govt is giving them more than if they worked..higher standard of living...hahahaha

i'm in a lousy mood...just figured?
