How You Life Your Life

You seem to be straight forward, but you keep a lot inside. You're laid back and chill, but sometimes you care too much about what others think. Your friends tend to be a as quirky as you are - which is saying a lot! You tend to dream big, but you worry that your dreams aren't attainable.

How Do You Live Your Life?

An issue that has received a substantial amount of interest in the media lately is that of a Melbournian man who got caught attempting to smuggle drugs into Singapore. I do not know the actual amount he tried to smuggle in, but it's enough for the Singaporean courts to hand out the death penalty. Bloody idiot.

Oh well, apparently this guy's lawyers have been trying to get garner support here in Australia to appeal for leniency from the Singapore's High Commission and spare him from the death penalty. A couple of days ago friends of the man held a press conference to launch an "Outline your palm" campaign, reaching out to the general public to draw an outline of their palms in support of sparing Nguyen Van Truong the death penalty and sending him home to serve out a jail sentence. Apparently they are trying to get John Howard to outline his palm as well. According to their statements, Nguyen when visited by his mother, placed his palm on the glass window which separates inmates from their visitors and asked his mother to hold him. Aww.. so touching....so poor...

LIKE FREAKING REAL!!!

What the hell is he thinking of smuggling drugs into Singapore?! The laws of Singapore are clear and simple - you smuggle drugs, face the death penalty if it's above the limit. It doesn't matter if you are white or black or yellow or grey.

You engage in drug trafficking, you pay the penalty.

To quote an Australian premier, "We do not believe in the death penalty".

Riiigghhtt........ So?

Just because Australia doesn't believe in the death penalty, Australian traffickers all around the world should be set free and sent home to serve their jail sentence in Australian jails chalets? What a joke. His family and friends say that he is very sorry and hope that we can find it in our hearts to spare him the death penalty. Aww… but how about the thousands of lives he could have endangered had he not been caught? Who is going to say sorry to them? So what did he expect trying to smuggle drugs into Singapore? A slap on the wrist and being told "You had been a very naughty boy?" This isn't Supernanny. This is real life. One man’s actions could have endangered thousands. You are sad that he is going to be hanged? What about the thousands who will potentially get hooked on the drugs? What about their family and friends? What are they going to do when they come home high and beat up their wives, parents, children to get money to buy these drugs for a quick-fix? If he is capable of disrespecting so many other lives, does he deserve any respect? Does he deserve any mercy after sending those people to their deaths?

We are talking about freaking drugs here!! Which part of drugs kills don’t these people understand? God gave us our health not for us to destroy it by taking drugs. Ok, you can argue we shouldn’t be drinking or smoking also but it is a totally different matter. One shot of heroin is enough to get a previously non-drug abuser to be addicted but one drink won’t be enough to get a non-drinker to turn into an alcoholic. Well, most of the time.

Anyway, why can’t these people respect our laws? Instead of pleading for mercy after breaking our laws, why don’t they try NOT breaking our laws in the first place?! Dumb idiots (wanted to use a stronger word here, but I shall not be vulgar). What is it with all these drug traffickers in the first place? Over the last year, there had been the Bali 9, Schapelle Corby, some ex-supermodel Michelle Leslie (or something like that). The Bali 9’s trials are on and are most likely going to face the firing squad. Corby is facing 15 years in a Balinese jail and I don’t know about Leslie.

I’m too pissed to continue.

Ladies and gentlemen....

Announcing the return of....

Jansen Quek to the blogosphere!!!

Aren't you all excited? It's me!! Jansen Quek!!! I'm Back!!!!!!!

Yeah, I thought so...



No one's interested.

Anyhow, my exams are over. I'm going to fail at least my corporate accounting paper, and overall my worst semester to date. But the important thing is - IT'S ALL OVER!! For now...

I guess this will be a short post as there is really nothing much to update except that Football Manager 2006 is out and it will be the first thing I buy when I go back to Singapore. Hopefully it'll be out by the time I reach Singapore next Friday. Hmmz.. Maybe I'll do a day-by-day update on how I progress on my quest to bringing a non-league team up through the ranks. A real rags-to-riches story. Yes, I do tend to play non-league teams. My fascination with them stem from the reading the stories in SI's forums under FM Stories. I don't play as Manchester United all the time!! Although I expect at least one game where I'll try to rescue them in my own fantasy world. Of course the first thing to do in that game will be get rid of Chelski's millions. Totally undeserved and ruining the game (re: Mikel Obi's case).

Oh well, I guess I'll end here for now...

Right...

So I'm blogging...only to pacify des
Anyway some birthdate test(or whatever they are called)

Surprisingly accurate for my supposed "birth tree".

You entered: 5/26/1982

Your date of conception was on or about 2 September 1981.

You were born on a Wednesday
under the astrological sign Gemini.
Your Life path number is 6.

The Life Path 6 indicates that very prominent in your nature is a strong sense of responsibility. You are idealistic and must feel useful to be happy. The main contribution you make is that of advice, service and ever present support. This is the Life Path related to leadership by example and assumption of responsibility, thus, it is your obligation to pick up the burden and always be ready to help. The Life Path 6 is one who is compelled to function with strength and compassion, a sympathetic and kind person, generous with personal and material resources. Wisdom, balance, and understanding are the cornerstones of this Life Path. Your extraordinary wisdom and the ability to understand the problems of others is apt to commence from an early age allowing you to easily span the generation gap and assume an important role in life early on. While the 6 may assume huge responsibilities in the community, the life revolves around the immediate home and family, for this is the most domestic of numbers. Most with Life Path 6 are the positive types who willingly carry far more than their fair share of the load and are always there when needed. You are very human and realistic about life, and you feel that the most important thing in your life is the home, family and friends.

The number 6 Life Path actually produces few negative examples, but there are some pitfalls peculiar to the path. Avoid a tendency to become overwhelmed by responsibilities and a slave to others. Also, avoid being too critical (of yourself or of others). The misuse of this Life Path produces tendencies towards exaggeration, over-expansiveness, and self-righteousness. Imposing one's views in an interfering or meddling way must be an issue of concern. The natural burdens of this number are heavy, and on rare occasions, responsibility is abdicated by persons with this Life Path 6. This rejection of responsibility will make you feel very guilty and uneasy, and it will have very damaging effects upon your relationships with others.
