Read abt wakamaru bringing the elderly companionship. V cute robot indeed, it has a very blur look..haha. unlike asino which can do more things tho. Despite being the trailblazer in the robotics world, the headlines read: in japan, the elderly dying alone becomes the norm. How sad but actually not ironic. Much had been mentioned abt gadgets n socialising virtually replacing face-to-face coffee breaks. One of the places with the most centenarians, or is it the most? not sure abt the figures as compared to the scandinavian countries. Close fight probably. But the ageing pop is causing the lack of healthcare facilities as well. How many of them have been denied treatment? Cant bear to think of jus biting the bullet and letting these sickly white-haired go. Sighz.

Is this really achievable? Shrugs. Anyway if this is a complete checklist, it is not exactly too difficult. if you put your mind, heart and soul to achieving these, you can at least achieve 50%? though i honestly think item 7 is extravagant. seriously? or maybe already innate since human are supposed to be social creatures. prolly not difficult to achieve 6 hours out of 16 awaking hours? sounds alot, but prolly it is normal? summation of all the minutes clocked thru any means of comms. i'm not sure, nobody actually timed i suppose.
Yay got the slippers brought back from brazil finally. Happiness level increased by a point.
Obtained an omamori today : "A baby whale is dependent soon after birth. When it is in full growth, it becomes indep and roam the ocean." Shall heed it.
Spent a nice sunday afternoon bonding. we spent abt an hour discussing abt the designs of the bicycle stands, while being forced to play uno with the gals, how come my bros are always spared huh? maybe cos they jus simply refuse to humour them. topic sprung from the Bicycle Bay Design Competition 2013, which is jointly organised by the spf and ncpc. but forms are really a turn-off. anyway most of the time, creative juices flow when you are just randomly chatting, i seriously doubt we can come up with such amazing ideas if we were serious abt taking part. You know when you are told "ok let's start", somehow just experience mental blocks. The human brains are really recalcitrant. They were sharing this double-decker bicycle rack in pasir ris, but it wasnt easy to load the bike up? managed to see the image online, shall go and try loading mine up sometime.
