Of rape and injustice

I don't quite remember when was the first time I had heard of a rape case but how could I possibly, when you hear about it all the time on the radio/see the case on TV or even read it in the news.Whichever paper you pick up in any part of the world,this news is just as present as any other regular news like a Bullion market update or even Currency strengths.

What gets me so aggrevated is the news I read this morning- A sentence read to hang an 18 year old who killed a "man" in self-defence while he attempted rape.What did she do wrong?A young girl and for showing courage and saving herself from life-long misery gets a death sentence???

I heard about 2 weeks ago from my friend that a girl working with a call center was raped and killed by the driver himself.Further, a handicapped girl was raped by a gang of men after she was trying to look for help from another set of rapists.
Whom can you trust?Where do you go if you happen to live in between such creatures?

Which direction are we heading to calling ourselves 21st century modern beings, I have no clue.We don't seem to have peace or happiness anywhere.We are all born on this planet, so why some live with fear and the others not? Why give some liberty to go on with torturing while the others have to watch with fear and remain quiet?

Who are we calling animals over looking at what damage we do every single day...Who are WE?

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...

Uniquely Singapore -Day 9

The first destination for the day was Haw Par Villa.The garden made by Aw Boon Haw for his brother Aw Boon Par is worth a visit ,if you ask me.The garden is Haw's effort to communicate to the world about Chinese culture.Orginally, Burmese the family moved to Singapore where Haw's famous Tiger Balm made him a billionare.The loss of his sons and brother during Japan's invation is what led to the making of this fantasy land by balm billionare.An ideal location to take pictures where creatures are as big as or even bigger than humans,the Buddha statue, ten courts of hell , Jade house and the tomb-a colorful place this is. We then headed to Little India for exploring the shops out there and get the Indian feel.We visited the Perumal and Mariamman temples there.The Mariamman temple is about 150 years old but well maintained and expanded a beautiful place.

has it ever happened to you??

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...
