Contents for today's blog . 1) My fave anime - Slam
2) The friendly against MJC
3) The debate over Humanity and Law ( My point of View ) * My fave anime - Slam Dunk . I dearly miss my favourite Japanese animation . I just cannot fathom why I feel so in love with the animation . Perhaps due to the fact that I can relate well to the player's emotions . It used to give me the sudden adrenaline rush through my veins when Rukawa dribbled past those players . I don't know why , but I had wished and still wish that Rukawa was not a virtual person . ( I know that there is a dichotomy between the virtual and real world ). I used to have a HUGE crush on him for many years ... Oh well .. I still do . The best thing is , he has the same jersey number as I do .. :)* The friendly against MJCBefore I begin , I was really too ashamed to go for the match . The reason was , I did not train myself . In fact , my stamina suck now ! . I didn't want to meet those people when I am / was not at my best . MJC threw down the gauntlet and we had no choice but to accept the challenge . A friendly challenge in fact . I happen to be in the third line with 2 most ******* players ( I am not going to mention names -- like what Annas said , no use talking about them ) . I didn't enjoy playing the match when I was in the third line . The match ended with the scoreline of 7-5 ( MI won ) . After that , MJC and MI combined to form a Just-the-year-ones-only team . We splited up into 2 groups . I was in the team with 3 MJC players . My friend Lisa ( MJC ) was playing for the other team . Ok , I had Daryl (MJC ) in my team !! Well , honestly , I like the way he is . He really shows those gentlemanly mannerisms . Although there was a sword of Damocles hanging over my head ( my knee injury ) , I enjoyed playing with them . In fact , I scored a goal :D . Hmm .. I was really happy . After playing , the usual threesome ( Annas , Raj and I ) went to our fave hangout after floorball trainings --- Paya Lebar Long John's Silver . After eating , we started talking about A LOT of stuff . Those 2 guys started to manipulate me to transfer to the Bartley Campus . Well , I wish I was there . Like what I have been saying , I find the MI ( Bartley campus ) peeps really warm . Hehe , in the end , they both gave me lots of tips to be early for school !! HEHE . Man .. I enjoyed yesterday .. I really did !!
PS : Lisa ( MJC ) is really a nice person . She exchanged number with me so that I can arrange the girls ( MI ) to train with their girls . THE MOST IMPORTANT SEGMENT * The debate over Humanity & Law . *Before I begin , the rationale behind my entry on the above-mentioned subject is truly dedicated to my point of view . It is definitely not to boycott anyone or any anti-government organisations . I am referring to the article by Ken Kwek " The death penalty - Reassess , not abolish " ( ST 30 Nov ) . I truly believe that our government have to reassess it's policy on death penalty . I do understand that our government's point of view is rationalist . However , I believe that Nguyen Tuong Van should not be sentenced to death . A jail term for his crime is justifiable . The human rights activist put forward their argument by saying that execution is a form of state-sanctioned barbarism tantamount to torture - it has no place in a civilised democracy . However, those rationalist especially Singaporean officials and citizens believe that capital punishment is the call for an overhaul of one of Singapore's most critical social and legal imperatives : Keeping the country free of drugs . It is highly notable that the solution to this problem lie in the hands of anti-death penalty advocates . The writer mentioned that the latter have to take a " more tempered and targeted approach " . Once again , it prompts me to ask myself if Singapore gives the public the chance to express themselves -- What we call ' The freedom of Speech ' . When I watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose , I can't help it but salute their way of ruling - ie , Having a jury to give the verdict . In this way , the public's view is much respected . Honestly , the degree of crime must be analysed even further . I don't see why a death penalty should be given to crimes like drug trafficking . It is justifiable if the crime is a murder , mass killing , terrorism attack and etc . But having found with the over the limit amount of drugs with an individual and instantly having the death penalty posed at him seems to be unjust . I was upset when I read about the Singaporean drug courier Shanmugam Murugesu . Despite the call for forgiveness and having been put through the president's clemency , he was sentenced to death . His 14-year-old twin soons were orphaned . For more , click on the link http://www.thinkcentre.org/article.cfm?ArticleID=2589 .Perhaps , it is rightful if the government starts to reassess it's policy ( on the punishments ) . Thus , then we would be on the threshold of new policies that do the least to raise objection from the public , devoiding us from revolving around the intricate web of humanity and law . To those who wish to criticise or support my view are free to do so . Because critics and the prophets of doom help in the making of a heated argument :p .
