that day ubin cycling was an eventful one...

So this is how the story went
I met someone by accident
That blew me away
That blew me away

It was in the darkest of my days
When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
And buried them away, you buried them away

And I wish I could lay down beside you
When the day is done
And wake up to your face under the morning sun
But like everything I've ever known
You'll disappear one day
So I'll spend my whole life hiding my heart away

Brandi Carlile- hiding my heart

yeah i did meet someone there... but unfortunately she taken...

surprisingly i didn't feel nervously paralyzed when i attempted to take her number.... its like I've grown bigger balls... strange... usually would feel very nervous as if the slightest scare i would jump to the moon...

but after some "intense" CSI found her no. somewhere... :D

ytd (14/1/11) visited my maternal side grandfather... hes also senile already... don't even recognize my mother when we visited...

couldn't speak coherently either... thought we should be lucky that he can still talk... but he just cant talk sense...

honestly i think its very sad... that we man can land on the moon, sent deep space satellites to look for life off earth, yet we cant cure dementia, cancer and STD...

OK the STD part is abit overboard.... but cancer and senility? i mean science has came so far since Neanderthal doctors drilled a hole into patients who have headache to relieve the "evil spirits"...

so see someone who is still able to walk, talk but lose his/her cognitive abilities... to be unable to call up his/her memories even though the brain is still intact... cant science find a way to restore the synapse links inside?

i bemoan that science came so far yet cant come through for all the aged people around the world...

separate issue... morality...

say you are a surgeon, lying on your operating room (OR) table with his chest open is a patient who suffered a gun shot wound(GSW) to the chest. the GSW perforated his heart and you are saving him...

and then you receive news that this guy is the criminal who shot and killed 13 children aged btw 15-18 before he was shot down by police officers...

would you still save him?

or in the case of you being a police officer, a subject shot and killed your partner before you.

then you shot the said person in the chest so now hes suffering from a sucking chest wound while your partner lie 1 meter away dead....

would you still render first aid to the assailant?

would you save the life of a wrong-doer?

how would you feel after you have saved his life?

food for thought then.........
