hi all! hahah let me tell you bout mah lessons today: today's pe lesson KILLED me. i cant tell you how fit i felt after that 50min session! all those running and sprinting and abs toning exercises! especially THAT lift your leg at a 25 degree angle!?!?! i could barely lift them up! hahhahh and later this evening i had touch training! arghgh! k but the trg wasnt bad at all, in fact it was fun coz it was rather slack lyk we jus played fun touch and passed the ball arnd hehe!

n then i thought geog was pretty good fun today! we had a debate whether nike was exploiting labourers in teh ELDCs.... n my stand is a firm NO. hahah im surprised myself coz last time i'd have stood on a firm YES. but yea i think today i really put myself in the shoes of the nike boss and i think it's too unrealistic not to want to maximise mah profits rite?? and as tsus puts it: you're exploited only when you feel exploited. i totally agree! and anw they do not even need THAT much money to make a living in somalia... it would be jus unproportionate!

OK and gp today was one hell gory lesson. i still cant believe the things i heard. we discussed human rights today andd we were on this article bout child soldiers.. about how they are forced to fight in the military, govt or non govt. and the cruel, degrading, humiliating things they go through is jus unimaginable. there was this family with four boys.. the military soldiers forced the boys to fight for them, and then they said they didnt need all four boys. so they gave two of the brothers a gun each and told them to shoot their two other brothers. ms ng said this was so that they wouldnt have anywhere to return to coz they've done the most disgraceful and cruel act on earth n they wldnt be accepted back. and with tt they'll be more willing to perform other cruel acts since they've already killed their own family members and the guilt will never compare to what they've already gone thru anyway. and then there was this ex child soldier who was interviewed.. he spoke of an incident where they gang raped a woman, and when the woman said she was tired n pleaded, their commander stucked his rifle into her vagina and fired. i'll leave u to react to that.

u noe there're too many things to fight for and to help in this world. i wish every single being in soul in this world could be peaceful. but tt's jus near impossible to reach out to all of them. jus kids alone, there're the child soldiers i jus mentioned, the children suffering from Aids in africa, children who are deprived of a chance for education, girls who are suffering from sexual exploitation cos of the prostitution trade; suffering because women in their homeland are given no freedom. everytime i read about them, i feel so helpless. coz they are so many of them.. all kinds of sufferings, hundreds of thousands of miles away from where i am. i wanna help all of them.. ALL! but how? perhaps i can save a few but what about the other millions n millions of them?
