"It s easy to imagine an infinite number of situations where the government might legitimately give out false information. It's an unfortunate reality that the issuance of incomplete information by government may sometimes be perceived as necessary to protect vital interests"
-Solicitor General Theodore Olson, whose wife Barbara was killed on September 11, 2001.
For those of you still very much convinced that the 9/11 attacks was definitely masterminded and executed by Al Qaeda, please spare a few minutes to look at this short documentary titled "Loose Change"

3 new diversions in life
1. My main duty and responsibility as an undergrad now, to mug. But well i guess it's in a way much better than during JC for at least 3/5th of what i'm doing now is what i really love to study. So yeah at least im not forced to take something im really allergic to like maths.
Really hope i can do decently well for my first term. Being VP of the 4.5 club is as good as being VP of fairyland. Yeah but i guess it's always good to have a high aspiration to look up to.
2. On a more serious note, yes i have been 'elected' as the Asst Honorary Gen-Sec of NUS Political Science Society. Though i got 'voted' in by default, nevertheless the fact remains that i will be busy with the tasks and responsibilities of being one of the 5 members of gthe managment cell.
To be honest i signed to run for appointment on a whim, but as i got into the groove of things, i realised this may really be the something new i want to try out at Uni. Yes it has been told to me how the internal politics ususally shreds up such small socieities easily, but nevertheless i hope i can hold my ground together with my counterpart. Let's just see how things go.
3. Together with a few of my friends and my former teacher who is still my teacher of Life, we have cobbled what is generally known as a political blog that is mainly grounded in issues concerning Singaporeans from all walks of life. Political or not, i guess we take a critical view of what happens to us as Singaporeans and freely express our views on this avenue.
If you ask on objectives, i guess our main desire is to promote a certain sense of political awareness and also to encourage our friends, family and acquaintances to get interested in at least politics at home, understanding the forces that shape our lives and the lives of our children in future.
SO yeah just jump in and visit the blog at www.meetthepeoplesession.blogspot.com
I've actually linked it on my blog also for easy access. Do feel free to be our worst critics and drop us comments on anything from warnings on OB markers (If they exist) to volunteering for website design! I really hope you have a peek before just branding it as 'just another political blog-wannabe'
