Pondering on a friday night

Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot... wannabe-copycat shooter in US, rival gangland shooting in Japan, chronic unrest in Iraq, equally chronic fighting in southern Thailand, nuclear tinkering in North Korea and more. News just showed (supposedly zen-ly) cambodian monks, robed in their traditional orange garb, engrossed in a fist fight just now. And a local 4-term MP's likely to be jailed for failing to declare shares in some businesses. It's not that I like to share sad stuff. It's just that modern day news just get more depressing by the minute.

The new catchphrase in vogue is TKCL - Trust, Knowledge, Connected, Life. This is our little red dot's enhanced "East+West Plus" formula for our citizens to survive the next decade. World.Singapore. Welcome to Singapore. Welcome to the World. Welcome to the Hubs-of-Everything. Stimulated yet? Or stressed?

Scary scary, time is brushing me by. Going to hit the big "3" soon. Better do something/anything before irreversibility sets in.
