been thinking alot again.... made some decisions and conclusions, drawing things to a close and starting anew amongst certain things...
first thing i have to admit, im becoming an anime otaku. also, i find myself drawin to western comics, namely,the warhammer 40k series. spent $100 on just 2 books, and i have a crapload of orders i have placed with different bookstores.
also, i find myself going back to my linguistic side, falling back to books for consolations and subliming into them. also, the most inportant decision i have made in a while, i will stop going after random girls. i think its time... to stop this craze, and find someone i really feel for, its no point just... playing around... yeah yeah.. its fresh everytime, but.. the feeling lasts only a while, then its back to the emptiness.... no point... haiz. taken me a while to figure that out... guess im a dummy for taking so long...
and, we sold the house already. have to start packing up my stuff, find a new place to live... wonder where? sembawang still? or yishun? or maybe serangoon? haha gotta think of new designs for my new room...
thinking... is it actually good or bad? i was also thinking about the singapore casino plans, how is it gonna affect us singaporeans? i've seen the casino ground plans, and well i have to admit, its going to be grand, but is it really worth it? economic gain but morals lost. think about it... in more detail. ok lets be honest. the people who spend the most in gambling ( by majority) are people who are from middle and low income families, dreaming (note: DREAMING) of striking it rich. in reality, the percentage of that happening is one in a billion. ok, back to topic.
people from a middle or low income family will spend money. usually, people lose money. people have the mindset that they can win it back. gambling basically plays you by the strings, as it plays on your pride and unwillingness to call it quits.
REMEMBER, THE GAME PLAYS YOU, NOT YOU PLAYING THE GAME. so, in reality, people will just pump more, and more, and more money into gambling, building HUGE debts. then what happens? have to sell off their homes, lose their jobs because of compulsive gambling = no stable income, no home, no security. looking @ this, it is no surprise of crime rate rises. already we have crazy fucks running around singapore with guns going trigger happy. what more? i will not comment on the goverment, as this exercise will be purely economical to them, which is true, and they can claim it to be a public recreation center for the family. yeah right.
that aside, there is also the project space port. for people who dont know, SG is considering building a spaceport that allows quicker and better methods of space travel, using the theory of "slingshot orbits"
theory of slingshot orbits:
Planetary exploration vessels like Voyager I and Voyager II made use of propulsion maneuvers which gained energy from the planets and moons they passed. Such maneuvers are really elastic collisions where the objects involved never hit each other but are affected by gravity as they approach.
A famous example of the use of such maneuvers is the exploration of Comet G-Z. The Voyager missions also made several energy-boosting flybys of planets on their paths through the solar system. The spacecraft Mariner 10 made several slingshot maneuvers in its exploration of Venus and Mercury.
i will not go into the details, but singapore is IDEAL for slingshot orbits as its along the equator, which brings about the optimal effect for minimal effort.
this project, i agree upon. think of the benifits that this can cause! for one, there will be the employment of construction skills and the sharing of technology between singapore and other countries interested in space exploration, like the USA! NASA will certainly support this project, maybe even lending financial aid. and after the project is finished, SG can use it for its own purposes, like satellite developments and perhaps even the chance of singaporeans going to space, no matter how unlikely. but not impossible. the wonders of technology these days. i wonder how the world will evolve a thousand years from now....
holidays are almost over too... going camping with the guys nx week, ubin perhaps? year 3 beckons... i wonder how my buddies have changed over the month or so... i need to get a haircut... haiz... im becoming an anime otaku... buying loads of anime stuff, maybe nx i might get doujin... im starting to collect fanart... and posters too... ahhh.... what is happening to me? im also collecting Anime OST's and albums from many famous seriyu too... (voice actresses)
also,im wondering where my games have gone to? my medal of honor pacific assault is missing... arrrgh...
booked some books from kinokuniya... costs me another near 100...
i find myself thinking more practically now... and more... colder for some reason. everything is in the objective mode... really critical about things now... why? finally growing up? or just an overpowering sense of confusion... i dunno...
aww well. so far so good... will blog again soon i guess... when i have the time.
