ONE Campaign

Alright. If you don't know what the above is all about, its time to bring you up to speed:

There's going to be a G8 summit next July.

And it will decide how much the US Government will spend in humanitarian aid.

The ONE Campaign is an American initiative aimed at convincing their government to dedicate, at least, ONE more percent in humanitarian aid from their federal budget.

You think that's not much? Think about this...

ONE percent out of their federal budget means 25 billion US DOLLARS for impoverished nations. That means:
•It can help prevent 10 million children from becoming AIDS orphans
•It can help get 104 million children into grade school.
•It can help provide water to almost 900 million people around the globe.
•It can save almost 6.5 million children under 5 from dying of diseases that could be prevented with low-cost measures like vaccination or a well for clean water.
•It can build a better, safer world for all.


The ONE Campaign has ONE single goal... to make poverty history...

One by one.

I'm a bloody sad case

Last night I stayed at work till midnight trying to write up some heart wrenching story in less than 20 words. And came up with zilch! Makes me wanna shoot myself on the foot. Oh well, at least someone else managed to do it, so all is not lost.

Anyhoohow, my day's just dandy today. Some lady at McD's made the act of accidentally spilling her Coke all over the floor such a great big soap opera. I mean, who drops a coke and then gasps so loud as to drown out an entire restaurant during lunchbreak? Sheesh! Not only that, she managed to get the coke all the way up to my pockets! I mean, I was standing right next to her, and the coke fell on the floor, but how does it reach my pockets!?

Thank God for Silhouette

Well, last night I was reading a Discworld novel 'Lords and Ladies' authored by none other than Terry Pratchett, when I fell asleep.

No, it wasn't because it was boring. I was just dead tired. I'd recommend that you guys read any of the Discworld novels. They're hilarious. Anyhow...

So there I lay, asleep, with the room light still on (yes, I know I'm not doing Earth a favour), and my toes freezing. My butt's protected by a good layer of fat, so that part was just cool.

When I woke, I found that I had taken off my glasses during the night and had rolled all over the bloody thing while I was asleep. Funny thing is, that though I must have rolled over it a 100 times over the night, my glasses were still intact... and they were still under my butt when I found them.

Thank God for the good people of Silhouette who made my glasses. Now I don't have to wonder whether I'm smashing into a bag of potatoes or an iguana while I'm driving to work.

Pinching an Inch... and then some

Yeah. I've grown really fat. I can pinch more than an inch of fat off my tummy right now. And its all thanks to that trip down to Ipoh with my girlfriend for her Mum's birthday. It should be a crime to have so much good food in such a tiny place. It's really bad for my health.

Alright... time to do some mental exercises...

Back from Blogging Hiatus

Nyeh, for those of you that care, I'm back to blogging.

Anyhow, just wanted to announce a really sad predicament. I'm addicted to backgammon. Despite the fact that the computer is such a loser, which make for repetitive and boring games, I'm still playing it. I should consider getting a PSP.

Update for the technogeeks out there. I've got a U2 iPod for my birthday. WOOHOO!! That was a couple of months back, but yeah, I'm still totally geared up about it.

Oh, for those of you still not in the know, I've managed to get a trainee copywriter position at an advertising agency. At first I dreaded the idea that I might have to regularly stay late for work, but I've come to enjoy the late nights. Hence my constant demands that someone give me something to do. This job is awesome.

I'm totally hyped up about this year's upcoming films. Its like a total revolution in the film industry. I mean, when in our history had we so many comic book movies being released in a single year? Woe to the man that doesn't visit the silver screens this year.

One more thing... if you like dogs then you're in for a treat:
