even i, as a non-Catholic, feel for the Pope's declining health.
the figure of the church for 26 years and being the most travelled Pope ever, i'm sure many Catholics must have been touched by him before.
let's pray for the Pope John Paul II.

and back here in Asia, Indonesia Sumatra's been struck once again by a disaster.
this time an earthquake measuring 8.7 on the Ritcher Scale.
the tremors even reached Singapore and was felt in many parts.
i myself was freaked out when my whole bedroom started moving like I was on a boat.
imagine what it has like for the indonesians when they had suffered the full blow of the tsunami just 3 months ago.
why them again? is nature playing a joke?
i'm rather proud that singapore has sent rescue teams to the affected areas so swiftly and with the humaritarian help, one man had just been rescued after being trapped 5 days under the rubble.
sometimes i can't help but be in awe at how strong one's determination to live can be.

after watching miss singapore universe 2005, i'm wondering if all the pretty girls have died or something. and the questions asked were damn stupid. why did i even watch it in the first place? the only saving grace was Taufik's performances. i must say he's improved his showmanship by a lot and i'm proud he's our singapore idol instead of dumb Sylvester who only capitalizes on Jay's songs. Get a life, Sly.

and a belated "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to my beloved friends.
