Many interesting things occurred around our tiny planet during this few months. Natural diasters while common were wreaking havoc almost simultaneously! Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan, Samoa. Incredible.
Back at home, no major sensational news. Ram Tiwary, an ex-SAF awardee was found guilty yet again. For $5000 owed in rent, could Tiwary have murdered his room mates? I believe there remain unanswered questions. His family can afford a Queen Council, why couldn't he pay $5000? Not my buisness anyway.
Back to my fav sports. Safina is finally NOT no.1. Good riddance from the throne. She so totally made a mockery of the distinguish ranking.
Oh yes, and this year's Nobel Laureates have strong representation by the Asians. Of the 9 announced so far, 2 are Asians and they make up 1/3 of the combined prizes given. One of their work involves realizing the internet. Damn he is good. The rest, I am pretty clueless. Ribosome discovery, telomerase discovery. Both sound pretty similar in terms of proximity in the human body. haha. It seems the direction for Nobel committee is more of saving humans. What about the planet. I hope alternative energy scientists or even environmentalists will be able to get recogniztion in the near future. However, I believe this will happen in 30-40yrs' time, at quickest.
