i like raisins though..

no.. tell me this is not happening to me..

oh bother.. no wonder i find my own work meaningless.. just as life is..

somehow i joined a team.. mostly consisting of students from my department.. to participate in this sports day futsal competition in campus.. we did not do too bad as we qualified for the finals quite easily but only just lost out in the semi-finals against a highly physical korean team.. quite disappointed.. though not because of losing but because i thought we could have done better.. anyway.. can not really blame anyone as the team was organized impromptu and thus our teamwork and understanding was not optimal..

overall.. it was a good games weekend.. and i got to know a few faces.. this was also the first time i took part in competitive soccer so it was definitely a great experience.. will be looking forward to the next soccer competition to play..

these are some photos taken by the sports day organizers.. my team is the one in pink (eww..) on the first day and white (whew..) on the second day..

i attended a screening of "Meat The Truth".. which tells us about the detriments to Earth due to human's obsession with meat-eating.. this was the flyer given during the event..

this has come as a greater revelation to me because.. for more than a year now.. i have become a "free-willed vegetarian".. or "social meat-eater".. or "circumstantial carnivore" (whatever you may call it).. i had afore thought that energy and raw materials was the limiting factor to the prosperity of humankind on Earth.. now apparently the issue of food looks increasingly likely to bring upon our downfall..

compassion and cruelty of animals aside.. personal health concerns aside.. we must come to see that the production of meat is seriously taking its toll on our planet.. the rearing of livestock simply consumes unrealistically large amounts of resources, and generates so much pollution as compared to the cultivation of crops alone.. we may as well be drilling a hole through a century old oak tree just to extract a single toothpick from its core.. then leaving the oak to die..

the concept of food has evolved since the prehistoric era from "the need to eat" to "what to eat?".. so should we "eat to live" or "live to eat"?.. many people are even obsessed about food that lunch and dinner has become a permanent topic of debate..

therefore.. i weep for the future of mankind.. at least i know that if a famine does occur.. i wouldn't be the first to starve.. maybe i should start learning how to eat grass..

if anybody has any interest in "saving the planet" or going vegetarian.. please visit this website for a start..

hahaha.. another PhD Comics classic.. not too mention i totally agree with the message..

another friend will be getting married.. but this time is probably my closest friend yet to be tying the knot..

anyways.. he's so serious about this relationship that he has gone to all the trouble to build a circuit board with "the question" lit by LEDs..

of course i did contribute a slight bit to it's construction and i think the end-product is not too bad all the best to his endeavor!
