As I had for the first time in a long while a lot of free time in the Afternoon, I decided to sit by the cosy corner by the window which I setup to relax.

Looking at the skies, listening to music and just letting my thoughts float away, ahh…

Relaxation at its fullest.

Just then, as I was looking at the skies, a thought struck mi as it has never done before…..

” I AM FEELING HUNGRY”

So as I grab myself a few biscuits, some other thoughts came into my usually empty minds:

Alec’s Take on the World Today:

1) The Skies are pretty.

2) The Material Science building opposite my window is NOT.

3) If Bush was nearly as smart as LKY, the Iraqi will be thanking him for controlling their economy and not know shit about what had happened to them.

4) Why is hoping for World Peace something only Bimbotic Beauty Contestants say?? Because everyone else knows that is impossible, it has never happen before and shall never ever happen.

5) Follow up to point 2, human are not inherently evil, they just likes to fight and create chaos, in layman terms, we just inherently love fighting,

a. Case 1: Put two newborn babies side by side and the first thing they do is hit each other

b. Case 2: If people can understand each other through words and not fist, why are the top movies and entertainments all violence related?

6) Money is EVERYTHING, it can do good, it can do evil, AND do not believe the saying that MONEY CANNOT BUY EVERYTHING, cause other than extending your Life, Money can really BUY EVERYTHING with proper use. This can be justified by simply asking yourself, what will you not do for money?? The problem has never been about whether you will do something for money, it has always been about PRICE.

7) There is no way YOU can defeat loneliness. WHAT do you think LONELY means??

8) Osama bin Laden is a poor dude being used as a Poster-Grandpa for terrorists.

9) Tony Blair must be banging his head against the wall for destroying his own legacy.

10) Terrorist are just misunderstood people so they decided that since violence is the way to mutual understanding, they blow themselves up, forgetting that, once dead, you cannot understand SHIT.

11) People do not like to hear honest people talking.

12) Most people prefer to listen VERY selectively, and they hear only what they wishes to hear.

13) People usually believe that they are what they think other people think they are, if I did that, I will be a hypocritical, lying, bastard who is rich and boring.

14) There is more food then people can consume today.

15) There are more people staving to death than people stuffed to death.

16) 500,000 Iraqis have died thus far and ALL the NEWS care about is the 5000 Americans that died.

17) Thus 1 American is worth more than 100 Iraqi?? No wonder they say the insurgents are winning, it only takes 1 insurgent suicide bomber to kill 1 American.

18) Mcvites biscuits taste good.

And please do not come look for me cause I insult you in anyway, because I have never intend to insult anyone, my intentions are purely and innocently EVIL.

In an effort to redeem myself from the evil deeds I been committing, I decided spend a Sunday doing Volunteering Work for the Local Community!! Waking up at 8 am on a Sunday, <an achievement in itself already> I got lost in no time with another fellow volunteer, Stuart, who I met while asking for directions at the bus interchange!! Some 'exploration' and a 15 minutes bus ride that results in another 15 minutes walk due to the fact that we overshot our stop and got chase off the bus as we underpaid for the distance traveled. Did you get that? Cause I didn't.

Dead Town in the wee hours(9am) of the morning

Ok, back to the work, We the noble volunteers were task to build a broad-walk for one of the nature parks we never knew existed so close to the city, and mind you, there were 20 over students there and none knew of the existence of anything beyond the 'Campus and City Center'. Sorry, back to our noble task, we toiled and saw, hammer and nail and 6 hours and 20 meters of broad-walk later, I come to realize a few things:

1) University students are USELESS, 6 hours and ONLY 20 meters?
2) Students have no sense of direction without the smell of Brooze or Music.
3) Gals are more helpful then boys in volunteering as there were more gals there.
4) Having a lot of gals makes no difference from having none, most of their time was spend: Chatting, Joking, Flirting, cheering and trying out stuff they never try before for like 5 minutes.
5) Most people cannot hammer without splashing mud all over.
6) Most wood are harder then metal nails, most of the nails broke for unknown reasons.
7) When buying a hammer, get one made of metal handle, we broke 4 wooden handles in 6 hours.
8) Most countries like to send only 1 representatives, 1 from Singapore, 1 from France, 1 from Australia, 1 from Austria, 1 from S.Africa and 1 from every major city in UK.
9) Risk Assessment is not something only in the ARMY, apparently the Park Ranger did one as well and its almost just as back as the one in ARMY, you need TWO people to carry one small piece of wood? 2???
10) Manchester Air is heavily polluted and no one realizes it, Stuart was 'cured' from his cough the moment he was in the park and it came back the moment our bus reached the interchange.
11) Everyone avoids watery muddy patches and become very 'hardworking' at some other task so that he will not have to be the one to step into the mud.
12) Marks and Spencers sandwiches are really good.
13) I think I did more Evil then I redeemed in 1 Sunday.

Well.. My Laptop been spoilt for the last week or so. SCREW DELL, WAT DO U MEAN ASIA-PACIFIC DELL IS A DIFFERENT COMPANY?? Yup, been living without Internet for a week or so. Its came at a great timing, I realise with the Internet there, I have not actually spend much time just thinking things through and this week been rather illuminating for me to put in a way, and the rest is CENSORED. Anyway, Went to Lake District for a Hike up two peaks, both averaging 750m in height and 15 km in total distance. So nice to go into the country for refreshing air and scenery once in a while. I must say I am grateful to the NS Training, doing hikes without the 30 kg of Weapons, fieldpack and equipments feels so easy. Weather was great for the first half of the day till we hit the peak, then HORRIBLE!! Downpour all the way down. Drenched to the bones by the time I hit the Bus. But still, a nice day out.. Ok.. Time to continue fixing the bloody Laptop..

Basking in the Air of Countryside.. Ok.. No more me to make u guys puke.. Enjoy the Scenery..

See the nice Lake in the Distance?



Nice Weather where the Rays of the Sun just seep through the Clouds.. Like in Fantasy Novels!!

Start of the Descent and the looming Rainclouds
