Its already May, people!

The room has been tidied, and I need to get into the groove of working again. And I have been cooking and making sandwiches at home, terribly sick and tired of eating the food in Siglap. Sab taught me the trick to cooking pasta with 'cream sauce'.

Boil some pasta and get those $1.90 cream of chicken Campbell soup, mix them thoroughly, there you go, pasta with cream of chicken soup/sauce. Add some pepper and wowee, you have the bestest and easiest pasta in the world.

Nothing compares to cooking a D-I-Y meal, it is like painting and if you put in some hard work, you can actually feel your sweat and soul in it. All it takes is lots of passion and good will. Cooking is the closest thing to being alive. Sorry, if I sound like Jamie Oliver.


If you haven't heard about this, I will be giving a short speech and deliver a song. Hope to see you there!

Fri 6th May 2005 Time: 7 – 10 pm
Venue: Furama City Centre Hotel
[Level 4], Canton Room,
60 Eu Tong Sen Street, Singapore 059804

The evening will involve a series of candlelit music, performances and readings by concerned, non-partisan individuals as an expression of our 3C's:“Compassion”, “Care”, & “Concern” over the death penalty ruling for Shanmugam Murgesu and those on death-row.

Organized by: Think Centre - Concerned Civil Society Initiatives

Come to the vigil, light a candle and sign a petition calling on the government to declare an immediate moratorium on the death Penalty. Save the life of Shanmugam and those on the death-row.

____________________________________________


If you cannot make it to the vigil, all are encouraged, wherever you are, to Light a Candle or shine a torch on the night of May 6th as a symbol of life "Jeeva Jhoti"


* Save the life of Shanmugam and those on the death-row. This cruel, inhumane and degrading punishment has to stop. Shanmugam, and his family plead with fellow Singaporeans and the international community to stop all these cruel hangings. None, he adds, knows the grief of these families and the dependents of those who are executed.

* Express our concern as citizens and residents of Singapore that the death penalty is being used inconsistently with the criteria of absolute necessity and proportionality in relation to drug trafficking cases.

* Call on the government to remove the mandatory capital punishment for simple drug possession. Overcoming social problems and bring criminal masterminds to justice is much more effective then hanging those presumed to be traffickers for simple possession of drugs.
