... zzz hate exams, first paper starts tomorrow, in less than 12 hours.
In any case since I'm here, just wanted to say:
My prayers are with you, students of VAtech. (excluding that batshit insane Korean fuck, thanks a lot man, now people are going to debate about banning violent computer games again.)
Also, this little gem from the newpaper regarding the Human Organ Transplant Act really makes my blood boil:
Question: Why would you choose to opt out of the HOTA?
Benny Tan, 21, undergraduate: "I will opt out because I do not know how my organs will help others, whether it will be beneficial to the right people. There is the possibility that my organs may land up in a bad person's body."
Can you please come up with a less lame excuse? Pfft, undergraduate. -rolls eyes-
Jennifer Chew, 26, a business consultant: "I don't think of the issue a lot because I'm still young and have no health problems. If I need an organ, I would probably travel overseas and buy one or get a loved one to donate."
Prime example of naive Singaporeans who think that money can buy the world. Guess what, its not as easy as going to the hospital and saying, "Uncle, 1 liver and 2 hearts please, got discount anot?" She better don't offend her family members.
In response to the question, "What to do if you are at the bottom of the list for donor organs when you most need one? " Bernard Tan, 28, Research analyst: "Would it be too late for me to opt back in then?"... You know that word that starts with the letter S, ends with the letter H and is spelt S-E-L-F-I-S-H? I just can't believe that these are the responses from people who are socially considered matured. I can understand the fear that some people have, and its okay for you to opt out if you're really scared. But wanting to opt in only when you're in trouble? Thinking that buying one is as easy as going to the market? This really really pissed me off. Don't want just say don't want, don't give some stupid lame excuse. Pui.
