spore schools, namely pri to jc levels, are closed from tomorrow till 6th apr for fear of the sars virus outbreak. there has been 1 death in spore already. it's very scary and spreads real fast. so far docs have not been able to find a cure for this horrible virus. let's pray for the best...... now we've been told to avoid all the crowded areas...so no shopping for the time being. think the safest is to stay at home....

got my latest copy of TIME from the mail...it's quite thick and has the heading "gulf war 2" , coupled with a photo of an explosion of saddam's presidential palace. hope this war will end soon....many innocent lives are lost....

thinking of subscribing to newsweek once my TIME subscription ends. realised that as i grow older, i begin to read such magazines. formerly in sec sch/jc, i just couldn't sit still to read those magazines which were recommended by our teachers to improve our english and general knowledge. am thinking of getting national geographic as well.....

beginning to develop some kind of interest in photography...prob inspired by my cousin. he has a strong passion for photography. saw some of this works and he was sharing some tips with me during the funeral wake. prob go read up or surf around for something interesting.......it might just fuel my interest in photography. esp since i got a digi cam, it's much cheaper to view the photos instead of having to develop a whole roll and wasting them (if they don't turn out good).
