Have you ever come across 2 persons whom somehow u feel they look very alike, yet one is consider good-looking, and the other not? Taking a closer look, you discover that the difference between them are just millimetres... The chin might be a few mm sharper; the nose a few mm taller; the cheekbone a few mm higher; the face a few mm leaner; the eyes a few mm wider... Yet the big difference these few mm affect their appearance, and likely their lives as well. How mighty the mm are... The mighty mm flex their muscles even greater in foetus. A foetus who fail to complete the fusion process of the last few mm in the heart will live with a hole in the heart for the rest of his life. A foetus who fail to complete the fusion process of the last few mm in the palatte will live with a cleft palatte for the rest of his life. How mighty the mm are....
Must be 报应..haha...Been reading weiwei's blog abt how she always been the victim of beetle's attack...maybe I "暗笑" a bit, so last night its was my turn to get a taste of it. Kenna the from behind the monitor ambush attack. From behind my PC monitor, it suddenly appear and fly right smack into my face!!! Recovering from my initial shock, I turn ard to look for it. And there it was, comtemplating a second attack. From abt 1.5 metres away, it was in flight and flying in the direction of my face once again. Not willing to take it lying down, I prepare myself for a counterattack. I waited patiently as it approaches, 1.2m...1.1m...1.0m...0.9m...0.8m... , I took aim, and without a sound, swipe my hand at it... "Thud" as it hits the ground... Haha...Guess it was shocked by my attack...after which it just crawled ard on the floor, decided it was not wise to disturb me, and left me alone after that...
The NKF saga has caused quite a stir recently. Grouses, complaints, waves after waves they rushes in. Amusingly, ppl who does not donate to NKF begin boasting of how smart they are by not being a donor. Smart? I think its plain lack of compassion, stinginess. Voices are always louder in retropect. And then, there are the hordes of donor who pulled out after learning just 10% of their donation goes to the patients. Everyone is only focusing on the 90% that goes into someone paycheck. True enough, 10% may be small, but it still goes into saving lives, helping pple. Look at it this way, take a senario where your loved one is in a critical situation. To save his or her life, it requires $10k. At the same time, it is made known that $9k will just be burned and only $1k effectively will be used. Will you not fork out the $10k? I will definitely. So what if 90% is flushed down the toilet. It doesn't matter. What matters is a life is saved. I rather focus on the 10% that is saving lives than the 90% that is wasted. If more is being utilised, of course its better, but what important is the intention of the donor, and something is done to the patient, no matter how minute it is....
