skb day 6

We live in exciting times, and the times in SK are indeed exciting. Of course it all depends on what excites us, because what is joke to one person could be death to another. I believe that anything pertaining to life is indeed serious, but we have to learn not just to see the humour in life and living, but to be able to laugh about it, and laugh very hard too. Life is short and we need to live it to the fullest. We all need to exercise daily, and maybe senior citizens more so. I see many senior citizens who I suspect are in dire need of exercise, and I really feel it for them. There was a time that I fell into the non-exercise rut, and it got deep the more I tried to get out. No one was helping, I don't even believe that many persons know that exercise is to be taken in the same proportion like food and water. These are three of the main ingredients for living and longevity, but no one is telling us about exercise. Exercise is a natural process like drinking and eating. ...

Election countdown

The election countdown has started for those people who always in the know, but some on the sideline who are working with their mouth shut are counting up. I am not into counting up or down, and I am still listening to hear what better I will get now from this united front.

In my small days I read in a Caribbean Challenge magazine, that the monkeys were caught because they would not open their hand once it was caught in the trap. So it seems that I am already caught, and that ends the story. I do not waste my time to read what polls say because an...

Election. SIDF. GAS

I am very cautious when words like SEXY are used to describe our Federation or any part of it. Given that some people are more into an election mode than others, it is quite possible for some of us to invent the most uncomplimentary phrases, in our attempt to score 'political' points. This is nothing new, and something we learn to endure every election season. We know that every generation is smarter than the last, but the same dumbness, of certain aspect of 'the politics' just seem to creep and follow. It may appear as the most insult to our intelligence, but at the end of the day it seems quite acceptable to be a part of the election flavour. Nobody feel no way, but it is something that someone needs to look at, if we are ever to change the culture that some people speak so passionately about. Unfortunately, it would appear that we still must try not to take it personal, it is just how business is done in this season. But whenever the opportunity comes our way to m...
