mm..
for some reason, i have nothing much to say for new year.
mm..
well, i could take you through the year 2006, but i dont think you’d be very interested (its also because im lazy. hehe)
or i could take you through my hopes for the next year.
but i dont really feel like it.
so i shall just say, HaPPy NeW Year! and may it be a good 2007.
mmm.. i seem to find myself now (probably before, too) a very keep-to-my-room person. not that i dont like human interaction, things just seem somehow more comfortable on my bed - which is where i spend most of my time. so i read. a alot - and this includes fanfiction. i play computer games - mostly old games, in the realms of freeware. i fool around with the computer - when the mood strikes. i write or blog - again, when im in the mood. i daydream.
meaning, of course, i dont go out so often. well, yeah i know its a bit more complicated now i need to coddle my left ankle somewhat, but even before, i didnt really go out often, either. maybe to the club (sarawak club) where i holed up in the library, and to the triangle sometimes, or to *gasp* myf - at church, and school *double gasp* … but i am .. and i say this with a certain resignation, more of a stay-at-home fella. not counting all my previous - and present, but mostly previous - after school activities like band, badminton, tuition, occasional debate session, etc.
why? im not really sure. i guess cuz my room is.. my room - my space .. the only place where i can just be. where it doesn’t really matter that im homesick or lonely - which i am more seldom now that i can access msn from here. where the piles of homework lying in wait for me will eventually get done. where procastination - is a matter of fact - until i panic and finish things off. where i can get some privacy possible even more than my own good (even tho now its a 6 bedder, im in the last bed - meaning that im the furtest in and noone but me comes here most of the time and i get a bit of warning if anyone pops in)
i am not really an antisocial people. i have made friends, and good ones at that. even tho most (maybe all?) of them as just about as weird/eccentric/slightly abnormal/normal - however u want to see it - as i am. but thats okay. i know that they will support me, if they can, as i will for them.
but i guess i dont really go out of my way to socialise, either. here in sg, i go out quite rarely - mostly only after ive been "invited" to join a group and maybe not even then. i eat my meals quickly, no i dont bolt it down, but i dont linger either, and leave the dining hall. i dont often loiter in the study room or kitchen or common areas - i retreat to my room.
my room = my refuge. and im thankful i have one. =D

on a different note, a ethical question which have occured to me. When does the end justify the means? can they?
consider this (purely hypothetical) scenario - and its not an original one at that.
Two high speed trains are heading to each other on a collision course. Both of their brakes have malfuctioned and there is no way to avoid a crash. However, there is a bomb on one of the trains - which will incinerate it completely, leaving the other one safe. You have the detonater of that bomb, what do you do? do you blow one train up or leave both to their fates?
i really, still have no idea which would be the "best" solution.
any takers?
quoted: in all my 19+ years, this has been the first time ive spent xmas away from home.
i dont know wheter i should feel jealous of that statement… cuz for me, as the years go by, 25th december is just another day (in vietnam, it isnt a public holiday)
ah well..
i can’t say it hasnt been interesting.
places where ive spent xmas:
germany
singapore
kuching
sitiawan
sydney
vietnam (one xmas - 2 towns… i was travelling )
new zealand
but i guess if you aren’t religious, xmas isnt all that a big deal -*ducks flying projectiles*-
thats a discussion for another day i guess…

This delegate regrets would like to extend an apology to the floor for not updating her blog in the previous two weeks.
She would also like to commend the Chairs especially Mary for being especially patient with ECOSOC’s new members (first time at MUN) of which this delegate is one of.
She also thanks fellow delegates for helping her out in the previous amazing four days of the conference.

Forum : ECOSOC (Eve’s Comittee of Social Creatures)
Question : The problem of depriving Eve of Internet Access for any prolonged period.
Noting that Eve fully utilises the Internet for various purposes;
Recalling the incidents that happen the last time she was deprived of Internet for a period of more than two weeks;
Refering to the previous blog posts;
Remembering that this is the first resolution to be posted on this blog;
1) Calls for the provision of the Internet for Eve in all of her permanant residences, through ways such as but not limited to
a) Dial Up internet connections,
b) Wireless Networks for use on her laptop,
c) Broadband connections;
2) Requests that fiction books be provided for Eve in cases where it is impossible to obtain an Internet connection in order to
a) Prevent Eve from going bored,
b) Provide her with a useful occupation as a replacement for the Internet;
3) Suggests that friends, with collaboration with the appropriate third parties, invite Eve out so as to expose her to the outside world not related to computers, so as to
a) Reduce the dependancy of Eve on the Internet, by bringing her out to see places of interest,
b) Forge closer bonds between friends,
c) Generate income for local businessmen, by frequenting their outlets;
4) Proposes for a gathering of as many as possible of Eve’s aquaintances, friends and family, to be held in a venue that would provide a condusive place for socialization, to be conducted annually, so as to remind her that her virtual friends do not only exist on the Internet;
5) Decides to remain actively seized on the matter.

This delegate would like to call upon all members of ECOSOC to further amend the resolution so as to make it the best it can be. She feels that the resolution deserves to be passed as it would fully cover all aspects of the question.
Comments on golf courses, the lack of clause 7, the losing (and subsequent finding) of "my little guy" as well as any other jokes pertaining to THIMUN Singapore 2 are welcome.
She further asks that everyone with her msn add her as soon as possible so as to facilitate further discussion.
This delegate is open to any and all points of information as well as any notes with regards to the question on hand as well as any other issues.
The delegate yields the floor back to the chair.
