i'm sure we've all read/heard abt the nyp sex video scandal involving a 17yr old girl... i'm just trying yo understand what Straits Times is trying to achieve by publishing this story. i feel the poor girl is being victimised... k, to all those who see this girl as a cheap slut or 'loose' or deserving of such humiliation since she agreed to be taped, i ask u'll to hold on to ur horses. Yes, she shud have known of the risk of the video being leaked. yes, she was dumb to store it in her hp. yes, she shudn't be engaging in such acts at this young age. But, give her a break, she's 17! at such a age, teenagers are barely grasping the concept of consequence. adolescent is the period of time, when we learn, albeit the harsh way, the repercussions of our actions; the 'shud haves' and the 'shudn't haves'. So here we have a 17yr old girl making, arguably, the worse decision of her life. One that will definitely change her life and the lives of her family and frens. And what does ST do? they publish the story, knowing that if the story was true they'll be ruining a young girl's future. seriously, y publish? cuz its a story that'll definitely get reader's interested? pls... leave that to the tabloids... its simply irresponsible.. talk abt consequence and repercussions. It didn't help that they published really detailed information like her first name, the course she's studying in, her cca etc.. info dat could hav been left out.. furthermore, according to reports, the video was stolen by a jealous 'fren' out to tarnish the girls reputation. ok, even if it weren't true.. y would ST wanna be a potential facilitator for slander and smear campaigns? instead of containing the situation by opting not to publish, ST have blown it up. How is this girl goin to recover from the shame? hey, she's no paris hilton. i doubt she enjoys the limelight. Thank you ST, for making her road to recovery alot more tough. kudos. yes, go ahead and punish her further. pls, condemn her life... we mite as well abolish juvenile courts etc.. kids these days don't deserve a second chance. rite ST?

Yesterday, i went down to orchard with a couple of my camp buddies to shop for v day gifts.. actually only one of them was gettin gifts.. we dropped by tiffany & co. we were like fish out of water in there... completely out of place, mainly due to our shabby dressing hahaha.. i believe its my first time inside, and i hav to say i wasn't too impressed with their designs.. especially those displayed on the first floor. the second floor mainly showcased the diamonds, so evidently i was more impressed. but also unaffordable. haha. in the end, all the affordable stuff looked like crap so my fren didn't get anything from there.

At taka, i spotted this really really ultra cute porcupine stuff toy! Super endearing and great to touch, haha.. in its arms was a heart with the words 'love you'... kinda spoiled it for me in a way... so sad hor.. no one to give it to, or rather no one who'll buy it for me! haha.. so in a moment of madness i impulsively bought the critter for myself hahaha.. kinda pathetic rite? sigh.. oh wells.. my fren bought it too. lucky for him, he's got someone to give it to... haiz..

anyways looking forward to tmr and the day after... goin to catch memoirs of a geisha, finally! p.s. wendy, i didn't steal ur last kaki. haha. goin to catch another movie on thurs as well, meetin up with ben and derek.. gotta bid farewell to ben, before he flies of to aussie land!

010206... hmmm... my last day at ACMTL, Sungei Gedong camp. wow, the day i've been dreaming of, has finally arrived. kinda feels like 'ord' hahaha.. prelude i guess hehehe... will return to ANG 2, Kranji camp on mon, after i clear my 'offs'.

I'll miss ACMTL.. Yes, i did have a tough time over there but i also made lots of good frens who made my year long stay there bearable, even enjoyable at times. So i must pay tribute to the likes of Yeo, Ronald, Jackie, Kailun, Poon, Wei Liang, Linus, Lam, KS, Chris, Hippo, Charles, Kelvin, Bernard, James, Ryan, Ah Guan, Han wei, Jeremy, TF, Kenny, Koo, Raymond and Wo Rajoo for all his crude jokes which never failed to crack me up. hahaha. Sigh.. If not for bastards like shorty koh and DYFM, ACMTL isn't that bad a workplace. I'm lucky to leave, especially before LRI. To my frens, Hang on! focus on ORD! haha.

On hindsight, i'm thankful for the chance to work at ACMTL. I've gained valuable work experience and learned a few new skills, and of course it gave me the opportunity to meet many more pple. Really blessed that my attchment was only for a yr.. i feel its juz right. ample time to gain experience while short enough to retain my sanity! imagining another 7 mnths in this hell hole really sends shivers down my spine! but now, i can return to ANG 2 and enjoy a more relaxed workin environment, ORD mood lor! heheheh....
