(edit)

Been running about the past two days, I am surprised I've accomplished everything!

And within 48 hours heehee. I usually complete only 1/10 of errands.

A little freaked out now. A little might be an understatement.

Tragic. I don't know what else could be worst.

As I read the article Connecticut School Shooting 'Gallery of the Innocents' and scrolled through face after face,
I felt sick to the stomach. True that what's left today are only photographs.
But it is not hard to imagine these babies while they were alive and well.
The thing I love most about little children – their smiles. A kid's smile expresses everything about them. It is honest.
It is sweet cheeky sheepish mischievous kind hopeful shy all at once.

Each of the 26 victims were shot up to 11 times by a semiautomatic rifle, with two of the victims being shot at incredibly close range. The bullets had pierced everywhere – heads, extremities, and torsos.

I know God teaches us to forgive.
And the gunman himself probably lived a hard life to commit such an act of madness..

Adam Lanza planned his murderous rampage with meticulous precision, destroying his computer's hard-drive to hinder investigators and rigging his semi-automatic rifle "Rambo-style" to fire with maximum efficiency.

The bullets used in the massacre were designed specifically to penetrate deep tissue and do a devastating amount of damage. The killer used "frangible ammunition", inflicting wounds that are usually beyond medical help.

But there is no reason good enough. Not even insanity.

For all the innocence you pulled down under with you, for the millions of hearts you effectively broke,
I will need to say this tonight

fuck you Adam Lanza.

Really really fuck you.

Just months ago I researched for an article on school shootings in the U.S.

And yesterday morning, 27 lives were lost during the Connecticut shooting: Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Elementary.

Twenty children made up of five to ten-year-olds.

Their last moments probably filled with fear none of them could even comprehend.

 

What cruelty.

America really needs to step up on gun-control laws, and the public's vigilance of mental health.

 

My heart goes out to all the innocent kiddos, teachers and their families.

21/12/2012 end-of-the-world?

I don't know, but I am looking forward to it because I'll be meeting.....

them love! #thebeegees

For several weeks I've been keeping fit through Nike Training Club, in particular its Sweat + Shape workout.

The intensity literally makes you sweat (within 25 mins I look like I just came out of the shower).

NTC alone is enough exercise thanks to its variety of objectives. It is also super convenient and time-saving.

Although of course, discipline is something even the awesome-est app cannot help with. Haha.

But I'll be heading back to the gym starting from tonight!

I plan to sign up for the 2XU half marathon with Felly and Banana Boys.

I have never ran long distances because of MVP... I don't know if my body's up to it.

I do know I am up for it so I'm going to try. Try, try, and try some more.

I need something to look forward to in 2013.

People Help The People by Birdy.

This may sound like big words, but in time to come I'd want to make a difference to these people.

Even if it's only for a handful and never enough to make a real difference.

I think more than once in a lifetime, we need to place ourselves amongst the less fortunate to stay thankful for the simplest things we own. What could the definition of small joy mean for the little one above?

And what is yours and my definition of 'small joys'?

JY and I sometimes have conversations about change.

I am always skeptical. I doubt how much one person (or even a group of advocates) can do to alter the world.

To save a going-to-be extinct animal, for example.

Now I think it is about being somewhat dedicated to this change. It starts from cliché it starts from me.

Yes.

  

And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it

People help the people

Nothing will drag you down

Reflection + Critical Exegesis (killller) down!
YIPEEEYAYYAYYAY. : D

It's chilly December again.

The season of lovin'! Yeah even if you haven't got a lover teehee.

When people tell you time flies... believe them.

I won't be seeing these girls, Syl too, as much next year

or the bunch of funnysmart boys once we officially graduate.

School has been manageable thanks to awfully helpful mates, 

and of course our cooperation as a class to draggggg for extensions.

HAHAHA PROCRASTINATOR UNITED FOR THE WIN.

Ischmimi why you so cute?
