THE WORLD IS WARPED?

I heard on the radio on the way home from tuition that there are scientists in Australia who are actually researching and trying to create a new perfume or liquid of sorts that you either squirt into people's noses or spray it on yourself to make the other person trust/love you more.

Like whatever happened to human rights and our freedom to control our own emotions and think through a relationship before plunging straight into it?
Come on man, what next? A perfume that makes you shit straight away? Or invisible shit and floral smelling farts? Just let things be the way they are!
And what with the drug that makes people unconcious, this will just make parents worry more when their children are out. 
I mean can you imagine someone squirting something into your nose and you start developing strong feelings for him? Like what if he's some psycho or a really fugly and desperate wrinkly guy?
I totally think that no such research should ever be conducted. Imagine how it feels like to be forced to love someone you don't. Its like being Yueniang or something. Its so damn sick.

The researchers are now trying to analyse how coccaine and ecstacy works so that they can like use the same compound to trigger the trust/emotions button in our brain.
I wonder what will happen if that part of someone's brain gets damaged, will he/she be like a living robot? that'll be quite interesting to watch, albeit scary!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! :)
this year's been like a whirlwind romance, full of ups and downs.
both for me and the world.
2008 saw me playing in the first intake, meeting my BFF.
making friends in choir, signing up for pre-u sem and all.
then came 2nd intake, another absolutely fun orientation and mass dance.
and more playing on my part.
then fretting about promos like crazy.
some depressing moments, moments of shock, anger and confusion.
but also moments of happiness. :)

personally, in a nutshell, i've learnt a lot more about myself in 2008.
and i've more or less discovered who i really am.
like a stronger identity of sorts.
i realised what some situations can do to me and all that.
but i hope that 2009 will bring me more happiness and good memories. :)
also, more fun, much better results, closer ties and better memory. :)

for the world, there's been a lot going on.
some countries have too much to handle.
never having enough time to handle one event before another comes along.

LOST
1. Sichuan earthquake
2. Melamine meeting - i hope the woman gets jailed
3. Mumbai Terrorists - the death of a singaporean in the terrorist attack brought terrorism closer to home.
4. Economic downturn - now all must wait for sales
5. Madonna's marriage - so damn sad. its an ugly divorce

FOUND
1. Singapore's first olympic medal after 42 years - silver!
2. our paralympics made us proud - GOLD in swimming!
3. hosting the first ever night race!
4. getting a chance to host the Youth Olympics in 2010!
5. Election of Obama - the USA's first ever black president
6. Britney's comeback - yay britney! :)

so that's my summary for 2008, may 2009 bring us all better times and more happiness! :) LOVE YOU ALL! :)
