MediaCorp cancels 'live' telecast of The Nation's Countdown on Channel 5

Countdown 2005 "live" telecast at Sentosa has been cancelled as a mark of respect for the victims of the Asian tsunami tragedy. the tragedy was a saddening news infact, but certainly not EVERYONE was sad rite? others at home would have been dissapointed to miss out all those fun they are having at Sentosa! No more celebration at home? this event is only held once per year but now they are actually calling off the "live" telecast.

well they claimed that they did this due to the mishap? then why didn't they just put off everything and refund for the tickets? instead, they have decided to celebrate and have all those fun among themself? UNREASONABLE!!! there is a one-minute silence which would be observed at the event to mourn the victims of the disaster. don't u think that, mourning for 1 minute and having fun right after, this session is really contradicting?

and also, if they could mourn at Sentosa, why not they just include the mourning part in the "live" telecast as well? is there any difference? besides they only planned to broadcast it in Channel 5, others who do not wish to watch could just simply tune to another station/channel.

another alternative is that, they could postpone the broadcast to perhaps 1 week later? anyway Chinese New Year will still be celebrating without fail right?

Global Warming - End Of The World? 世界末日?

recently more and more incidents are happening be it natural or human caused, is tt a sympton of the end of the world? sometime ago we had land slide in Malaysia and a tour bus slide off on the way, Singapore Airlines plane crash, SARS, Iraq war, Terrorism, and now, it's Tsunami.. death occoured in each of the above mentioned and the number of lives taken IS actually increasing in each new incident!! so wad would be next? something that would cause more death then the tsunami? perhaps forest fire across the whole earth spreading out real fast?

some pictures of what global warming has done:


1 thing I’m sure about global warming is that the earth’s temperature is increasing, and this explains why Singapore is hotter then before. Tsunami could be one of the “product” of global warming. Some other disaster would follow up due to global warming might be expansion of the ground aka earthquake, which would be leading to another tsunami, volcanic eruption, melting of the polar ice caps, and forest fire as the dry twigs get heated up and eventually evoke sparks. The rise of sea level which causes the flooding of land that is plotted in “The Day After Tomorrow” might one day happen to this world too... not surprising! I didn’t watch this movie so I don’t exactly know how the ending is like. But when this really happens to us, the ending would only be bad. Don’t expect Batman or Superman coming to your rescue.

So Life's A Game? YES!

people said life is a game, possibly a RPG game. every character in this game has his turn to die, no matter how strong he is. if we are the characters in this game of life, who would possibly be the player who manipulate our activities? probably the gods? erm.. i did not specify which god it is, neither did i say this is the god people worships, it's just the whoeva that might or might not exist. no offence here ok? well, in every game, there are different stages and before entering the next stage, u have to end the current stage. there is a short story playing everytime 1 stage is completed just like Diablo, Final Fantasy and so on.

if what i had just mentioned is true, then the Jurassic Era where dinosaurs were alive would be the beginning stage of this game, after the gods have completed this game, stories were formed, saying how this dinosures got extinct. So what are the weapons god used to kill dinosaure? the hot rocks which clashes on earth in the universe?

2nd stage, part 1, Human Mutation:
this is probaply the stage with the mission to transform monkeys and king kongs into human?

2nd stage, part 2, Breed More Humands:
this stage would be the objective to reproduce more humans? get them living together and include functions like "War Enable/Disable" in the "Options" menu for the level of fun and blood? hmm.. sounds like "Sims City"?

how do you end 2nd stage? well, probably by Global Warming! just like the Jurassic Era, you kill every single living things but kept some organisms or virus for the transformation into brand new species in the new begining of 3rd stage?

maybe this is the stage that aliens come into the game!

this game sounds real fun huh? we are in the middle, both pawns and players. the god played us, we played computer games. just like the characters in the games, our traits and charecteristics are customize by god. every character has got a limited of points to increase their strength, intelligence, dexterity and so on after they leveled up. different god would increse different traits and this also explains why human is NOT perfect and no matter what, people will not have the same attitude, characters and so on. twins probably exist in a 2 player game.

games we played were categorized by their different objective, for example, "Diablo", it's objective is to kill monsters, for "Fallout", it's objective is to go around helping people, getting new live, kill people, and for "Star Craft", it's objective is to conquere the land. However, the god's game is a All-in-one. we kill, we conqure, we discover, we learn...

if i had a chance to produce my own game, this would be it!

    haha!! finally u can stop hidding!! wahahaha

    they din mention anything about the encore telecast for the countdown at all. should be called The Sentosa's Countdown more appropriate.

    singapore will either become desert, or the sea will juz simply flood our land due to the melting of ice caps.

    wah!! western oso will kena tusnami? they having earthquake there ar? or issit the present tsunami? does tt means whole world will kena tsunami? end of world? muahahaha.. let's wait and see...

    singapore if kena tsunami i think everyone dun even need to think of escaping.. army force how strong oso no use, bomb shelter maybe oso will kena flooded.. other countries got high mountains, but singapore got high HDB flat? hmm.. ya, maybe got hope..
