So it's been another day,...and there's been a few things running through my head today. Firstly, a disgusting thing. Recently when I've been out exercising, flies have been going into my mouth. The first time was last week, when I was doing sit-ups. So there I was going, "Twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-thrGLUP!" Not something you want to experience when you are trying to finish a set of 50. So naturally I sat up and tried to spit the damn thing out. Spit spit spit. Nothing came out except for saliva. Damn man. Well, nothing I can do about it, so just continue lor. The second time was last Sat or Sun. I was jogging halfway and suddenly I can feel this fly around my face trying to aim for a French kiss. It occured as I was about to inhale. I could feel the fly (curse his soul) getting sucked into my mouth, and even hear his, "Whee~~~ Oh shit, AHHHH!!!~~~" as he got sucked into oblivion. Of course I stopped jogging and tried the gag reflex again. Nothing came out. Damn, this is becoming a habit. Digusting... I feel like I'm turning into a frog... First time got prince halfway turn into frog. Should make it into a movie but I'm sure the plot involved is not suitable for all audiences. Too disgusting liao...

So today it happened again, jogging happily and suddenly a fly flew in. Perhaps this one was a family member trying to look for a lost fly. But anyway this time I could stop inhaling in time to spit the damn thing out. Sadly, it was too late. The fly was dead on impact. Serves it right. There's no morale for this story, no lesson to be learnt. Maybe there's some smartass reading this saying, "Cover your mouth or use your nose to breathe lor!" My reply is trying covering your mouth all the way while jogging, maybe the aussie police will drag you off to their station to treat you eat doughnut. Use your nose breathe, then the fly get sucked in your nose how?

The other thing I thought about is the case of the 25 year-old aussie guy who got caught in Singapore for drug trafficking. Now that he's been sentenced to death, the Aussies are making noise and saying that Singapore law too strict, no human rights, Singapore law is a murderer etc. My instinct is that it is disrespectful to pass comments on another country's laws. These drug traffickers are all murderers in that they supply these drugs which will eventually kill the users, harm their family, maybe even break up the family, make these users resort to crime to fuel their expensive habit; the spillover effects are just too great. Besides, if they think they can't stand the death penalty, they shouldn't have done it in the first place. Which idiot doesn't know that Singapore has too much surplus rope, so we hang those criminals that can use it?

If you don't know about it, that is not an excuse either. A fundamental of law in any country, "Ignorantis juris non-excusat: Ignorance of the law is not an excuse." Any Tom, Dick or Harry should go rob an Aussie bank now, get caught, and say, "Sorry mate, I didn't know that was illegal. Won't do it again man. Look, here's your money back, hell, you can have my gun as well. I mean seriously, I didn't know man. Back from where I came from there's no law, I'm like the freakin president there as well." I wonder how the Aussies will react to that.

Basically, it's all an issue of respect. Our country has strict laws, yes. That Aussie bloke chose to break it knowing fully well the consequences involved (either that or he has to be a really dumb guy, even for an Aussie), and he got caught. Too bad man, looks like it wasn't your day. At least prison food is probably better than the shit they serve in Australia here, and it's free as well. Singapore tax-payers are paying for your stay here, the least you can do is be appreciative. Peace out. Oh yeah and to the Aussies, quit whingeing.
