Bad Day aside, Blogosphere??
Well gloomy day today...things just didnt go the way i expected. But im sure tomorrow will yet to be great day i believe!
as im blogging right at this moment i have come to realized i have stepped into a whole new community known as
blogosphere.

Blogosphere-- def:-a communication platform of incredible power and complexity where information and opinions are exchanged, transformed and reworked with astounding rapidity across international boundaries and time zones.

Wow that is a mouthful of stuff. Shall just put it in simpler terms , it being part of the internet globalisation. Funny how it seems that we bloggers are actually aiding in globalisation. All the rantings just before bed time actually contributes to the big word GLOBALISATION. But are we sharing useful information right here? Some of us may just be penning down end of the day thoughts, but there are there are the politically and socially concious bunch who are airing their views to the public. For instance, the recent news about this 18 year old jc girl (whos dad happens to be an MP) who made an elitist remark in her blog on a concerned singaporean who was merely complaining over a loss job. That incident came to me as an immature, insensetive move. I shan't comment further on the apologetic girl already.But it clearly proves that information and every detail we post on our blog makes a difference to opinions of others be it in our own society or across the border.

Many a times we read and leave footprints on blogs by commenting on tags. It is through such interaction means that makes blogs so different from that of conventioal websites. But do we make an effort in keeping the facts right in blogs most of the time? honestly, i dont. Why should i? Firstly, blogs shouldnt be the place to be if u want to know more about the hoo haas happening around the world. secondly, stuff written on blogs are just blabberings. Thirdly,
in the blogosphere the individual is king and everyone, rightly or wrongly, can become part of the news. Furthermore other then friends and families who will stumble upon my blog? Thus blog readers out there just be a tad more discriminating when consuming information provided on blogs.

Litterbugs-US???
Guessed u guys have caught the news. "More Singaporeans caught littering, young offenders on the rise." why the youths? glad to say my conscience is clear since i have not failed to throw rubbish of mine into the bin. i have always detest litterbugs. why ruin the clean and green picturisque of singapore? aint our country tainted enough with our snob and kiasu atrocities? The "clean and green" image is all but one of few stuff that we can be at least be proud of.
I still can recall attending art classes with potraits of the "Clean and Green" campaign iconic frog during my primary school days.The awareness that was instilled in us years back but have since faded through the years. we are just taking it for granted expecting cleaners to clean up our leftover mess. Not forgetting this cleaners may be the elders.Ashamed we ought to be. Im sure some of u guys out there will be going "aww...stop preaching, its just litter" but really we wont want the country to turn into slums.even if it means throwin' away that samll piece of tissue paper.

Family gatherings
family gatherings are always something i look forward. Be it bdae parties or just a simple meal affair, they just make my day!Yest was a special day for my dearest cousin yann ru. finally 21! something that im sure she has been looking forward to.The evening was just meant to be a deepavali dinner at Aunty Judy's place and a surprise for that dear gal. but guess my accidental remark whilst introdusing Kel to her gave everything away! The ever so easily satisfied bdae gal was overwhelmed with emotions when she finally saw the bdae cake. She was squealing away in delight. hope she had a memorable 21st!shall upload the pics another day.

SOCCER in a Gals-only dictionary:def:
A game that involves cute hunks chasing after a ball. Who cares about the rules of the game?
(audrey's fav team:ARsenal)

Read an article on the news during the world cup season on sporean ladies' fake enthusiasm for soccer. COuld rembr some of the itsy bitsy contents about it. The article resurfaced while i was enjoying an Aresenal match against Watford yest in darls room, and wow was i impressed! Yes unbelievable? skeptical audrey watching a soccer match. While im writing this entry im expecting squirms and scorns from my male pals with wiry comments " oh heck, what do girls know about soccer?" Well i aint an avid fan of soccer. but it will be unfair to make that previous statement. We just need a little explaination. Of course i had dear explaining to me some stuff about soccer while the game was on. And i sure cant spot an offside still. BUT that doesnt imply our ignorance to soccer!

Was watching in awe at Gunners' splendid goals. Although the game started off with an own goal. but the next two were impressive. Especially the one beautifully done by Thierry Henry and Emmanuel Adebayor. newbie Theo Walcott was a darl. okie ive gotta say this.."he is C-U-T-E!"








Kayaking
Yest was a day well spent. revisions aside. we went kayaking at bedok reservoir! it was a 3 hr kayak orientation by PaddlezInc. Although the haze was a little of a spoiler, we had our fair share of fun. The most exhiliarating part? capsizing. Yup all thanks to the mischief of mr tng. It was so sudden.heard the usual Splash and there i was rite in the reservoir. Great! how were we suppose to get back up? yup with the help of the instructor. Well its a rare gem to be able to dip ourselves in the reservoir. So shall spare mr tng for that. lazing and chatting in the kayak was heavenly!its been years since i did water sports ,eversince learning windsurfing 2 yrs back. shall consider the 1* kayak course. Lunch and dinner were magnificent! courtesy of darls mummy's recipe! Chee Cheong Fun and sushi. the finale steam rice with chicken (with dat oh so delicious sauce) were so comforting...yummalicious!Whats with dat little weight gained?! shall heck!!Thanks auntie for the nice food, they were sure stress relievers!

Who gains when celebrities visit Africa?

Was flipping thru the newspaper a few days ago and came a bUzz news that madonna is going to adopt an african kid. yet again is another of these stars-adopting news. was surfing through BBC online and came across this discussion topic and it kinda caught my attention. would like to hear views from u guys too.

personally i would and could never ever link divas like madonnna to such charitable moves. oh just look at her raunchy music videos, the goody two shoes image would just be a no no! In recent years stars such as angelina jolie,charlize theron and even home-grown stars have made such 'private' visits to povertised countries like africa. Ironically, their 'private' visits will always be photographed and splashed on media. Why should they even be publicised? okay with the paparazzi aside. It doesnt have to be an announced affair. Furthermore, pictures would always potray the hapless, forlorn looking kids beside these stars. Are they evencomfortable to the media? they could have been squirming in awkwardness under spotlight. Nevertheless, the stars would benefit in gaining the boost in image. Are this stars really socially conscious? well i choose to doubt. Furthermore, its not that there is a lack of children living in the ghettos in their homeland. These kids are just commodities for them to boost their PR image. However, if the welfare of the kids truelly improves under such circumstances, then will i differ my opinion of such 'charitable' actions.

There were changes made to the enclosures in the zoo. like the outback enclosure and the fragile forest. the pygmy hippo encolsure.

MOst beautifel enc
losure : FRAGILE FOREST. it was filled with butterflies that were fluttering around us.racoons were free to roam. scaredy mr tng were actually afraid of butterflies!oops!most Entertaining show: animal friends show. the dogs were such darlings. Max my personal fav actually looks rite into ur eyes when u go up and close with him.

As usual the white tigers are the ones that i will not miss! they have n
ot grown much though but laziness is getting over them. plain boredom in their den too i guess.just love lobserving their every move.
