registar

Last night, I turned in my personal particulars, family particulars, bank account numbers, and a whole list of everything the army needs for my enlistment. I had to chose the initials I wanted on my nametag, the sizes of my attire and a whole list of interests and whatnot.

I guess it's becoming increasingly apparent that the day to my manhood (kinda) is drawing closer. I've booked my appointment for my pre-NS check up. Guess it won't be long before I'll be entering. Kinda scary, because I do realise that once I get in, I'll have a whole lot more personal and social responsibilities to live up to.

Time really passes fast...

Guess the army is coming, real soon, to make a man out of me.

Poly, tougher than JC since 1954

So there is a facebook group and a bunch of stalwarts out there who think they got it tough in poly.

Ignorant brats. They should just go home and suck thumb.

There's a reason why we take 95% of all scholarships.

Dictorgraphic Demographics

Well if you don't already know by now, Barack Obama is the first black US President in history. Surprise to many I must say. With his oratorical prowess, many attribute his victory at the polls due to his strong ability to communicate and link the hearts of the people with his ideas.

Is it really a surprise then that probably the most racist country in the world has finally elected a black president? Well not so. 40 or so years ago, when Martin Luther King Jr's 'Let Freedom Reign' speech was delivered, many would have said of civil rights and racial equality being put in the right direction. Well racial equality was destined for the American land.

According to a BBC report in 2010, 70% of Americans over the age of 65 are white. And well, over 55% of Americans today under 5 are not white. This represents a huge shift in American demographics. (Which I guess kinda explains the sudden influx of crappy black musicians in the 21st century.) Music aside, this is an important note. Because the America we know in 30 years time will be different from the America we knew in the 90s.

I guess things are not that lopsided for the moment. For most Americans living in poverty (or extreme poverty) are not whites. This leaves power and influence still squarely settled on the shoulders of the white man.

Who knows what this will bring to this new world. Only time will tell.
