Technology can be a scary thing. Some people on earth do not even know what a Computer looks like and yet we are gearing outselves up for a Technological Reveloution over the next few years.
For those who are sitting on front of their computers enjoying their 100mbps access...... Don't even be contented with that...... Singapore is intending to get its entire infrastructure up and going so it can support 1Gbps by 2015. That is 10 times what you are enjoying now..... for those with Singtel jamming away at 10mbps..... that is going to be 100 times faster........
Singapore is going Mach 5 in the competition to be a IT hub.
One of the groups bidding for the project, called OpenNet, promises to complete the work by 2010, just two years from now.For those who are wondering what the hype is about...... Well....... a full length movie can be downloaded in mintues instead of days..... of course that is provided your computer is capable of withstanding and supporting it. The technology is already deployed in Japan, Hong Kong and the US...... So we are like living with the Dinosaurs compared to them........
Fibre Optics is the way to go and Starhub has already started to use the technology althou Singnet has followed suit. The traditional line however will not become obsolete as Singtel has stated that some of its consumers might prefer to maintain the cable system while using fibre optics for calls.
Overall, better deal for IT nerds like me...... 2015...... I can't wait......

CONflicted
Posters from the 1970s.......
From a baby born every 11 mintues and the fear of being over populated and not having enough jobs to support the nation...... how far have we all come.....
The Gahmen is now encouraging its people to have more sex and produce more offspring while getting in loads of foreign talents. Wonder how indecisive they can get.....
2 is enough..... wait to have the second..... Take ur time to say yes.....
Due to an ageing population, we have no choice but to overturn that policy.... Desperate times.......

The Right to Censor
What is Censorship?
The word censor has its origins in Rome from the post of the Census who was the magistrate in charge of supervising conduct and morals, examining material and removing whatever is objectable, sensitive or harmful. The modern concepts of censorship are not that different. It is still about the control of speech and other forms of human expression often by (although not) limited to government intervention. The motives behind this are to stabilize or improve the society over which the government would have control. It is basically the suppression of ideals through the regulative structures of the law. This can be done through sanitization (removal of information altogether) or whitewashing (omission of certain parts which are deemed to be in conflict with the system.)
The five main forms of Censorship that can be considered are as follows:
• Moral Censorship which pertains to materials with questionable ethics.
• Military Censorship is the process of keeping military intelligence and tactics confidential and away from the enemy to counter espionage.
• Political Censorship occurs when there is a need to conceal secrets from its citizens. This is to prevent revolts and rebellions and also prevent other countries from taking the chance to exploit the country in times of weakness.
• Religious Censorship is removing material which will be deem objectable or undermine a certain religion.
Corporate Censorship is the process of halting information being distributed that will put the business in a negative light.

Sin???
I see your face everyday even when we do not meet.
I hear your voice even when I know you are far far away.
Why,oh why does my mind keep spelling your name?
In the smallest events of the day,I see your shadow .
Your smile warms my heart in a way none can follow.
I have seen from a distance all that has happened.
Would have loved to help but I know you are ever resilient.
Strong on character yet so pure and sincere
That I find it hard to believe you are not just an illusion.
No heart racing moments like the first puppy love......
But the longing to see and make you happy......
Is like a sin that is ever so indulgent.

Beauty to my Queen of Pain.
In a land of milk and honey,
She steadily grew.
From bud to bloom,
Is all I knew.
The cresent moon and the flaming sphere,
Adding radiance
To the face I hold so dear.
Her every move is like a dance,
Elegant and sleek, full of poise ,
Leaving me in a spell bond trance.
Was she watered with the finest wines?
Cos her smiles send my hearts racing,
And my mind an adrenaline rush.
Looking back,she has traveled far,
Carried by the wind,to our land of tar,
Enduring smoke and dust,
Yet she still grew.
When I pass her by,I always blush,
Cos after seeing her beauty,I fell for her heart.
As water washes the sands away,
I know these feelings are here to stay.
She steadily grew.
From bud to bloom,
Is all I knew.
The cresent moon and the flaming sphere,
Adding radiance
To the face I hold so dear.
Her every move is like a dance,
Elegant and sleek, full of poise ,
Leaving me in a spell bond trance.
Was she watered with the finest wines?
Cos her smiles send my hearts racing,
And my mind an adrenaline rush.
Looking back,she has traveled far,
Carried by the wind,to our land of tar,
Enduring smoke and dust,
Yet she still grew.
When I pass her by,I always blush,
Cos after seeing her beauty,I fell for her heart.
As water washes the sands away,
I know these feelings are here to stay.
