"State-sponsored killing is inhuman, its effectiveness as a deterrent is as best unproven and it is no less prone to miscarriages of justice than more easily reversible sentences."

Burrrrp
Roast pork belly, mussels in white wine, fries, beer, and the company of a fellow Cal CE grad. Was it a wonderful evening or what?

PocketPC at Macs
Have you experienced PocketPC ordering at McDonalds? Today I had dinner at the Tiong Bahru Plaza Macs outlet. I originally wanted to go to the food court but since it was late and I was too lazy to climb upstairs, I figured I'd just grab a quick bite. However, once I got in line and realized how crowded it was, I started having second thoughts..... until this girl came up to me with a PocketPC and said "can I take your order sir?" Well, she came up from behind and I almost freaked out right there, until I realized they have this new system where the waitress takes your order in the line using a PocketPC! She then gave me a number to present to the counter when it was my turn; fast and efficient, the way fast food is meant to be! Oh, the waitress was wearing a LiveStrong band. Why does it matter? Cos the LiveStrong band is for a good cause, is made by Nike, is made of silicone, and is cheaper than all those knock offs out there, so go support the Lance Armstrong Cancer Foundation!
Ok, so what the hell was I doing at Tiong Bahru Plaza in the middle of the night anyway? Well, today was a very busy day. Work just kept coming in the minute I stepped into the office. And it just kept coming and coming.... On a Monday too huh? Thank goodness bonus is coming in a few days' time, at least that's something to look forward to!
So just as I was about to leave the office at around 8pm, somebody called on my cell phone. "Hello M, E here." Nobody calls me at 8pm, if its a friend, usually its an sms, so I figured it must have been somebody from the bank soliciting. Probably trying to sell me some unit trusts linked to CAO or citiraya, or maybe another credit card or something. So I sheepishly answered "Yes??" And she replied, "Eh, I ask u something ah..." It was only then that I realised it was somebody I haven't talked to in such a long time, and I almost shouted "OMG, WHASSSSSUPPPPP!" when I realised that my boss (and his boss too) were still in the office! What an eventful Monday evening!
