Calm Here. Hell Elsewhere.

It's been quite a busy week. Assignments, project meet ups, SMUBE, Run Team, CEO Talks, classes. Having a 3 day week really means having your week pass by a lot faster too.

SMUX Adventure Race tomorrow. They refuse to tell us the venues and where we're going. All we know is that the start point will be the Chinese High Swimming Complex. Well, I don't expect much from it, seeing as how it's the first time such an event is being organised. Hope we win it!

Been watching CNN for the past hour, and I really can't believe what's happening in New Orleans and the neighbouring cities affected by Hurricane Katrina. You would think that with all the warnings they were giving out days before the hurricane struck the U.S. South Coast, people would be ready to deal with the situation. Apparently not!

The mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, actually went on national radio and told the U.S. federal government to 'get off their asses' and help. Isn't it ironic that a nation that prides itself in 'helping others' (read: Iraq) and giving aid around the world, can't even save their own people?
