Just Another Valentine's Day Poem.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Seeking your heart
I feel like a fool
Baring my heart
to win over yours
Blatant I am
speak with no pause
Roses are red
Violets are blue
How do I convince
you my love is true
I'll wait my turn
to let you know i feel
When the time comes,
just know it's real.

you can't call for help if you don't have a pass
I dare not say where i took these photos, in case there's some confidentiality thing that i'm not aware off and i cannot anyhow take photos of this place.
Well, you just have to know it's a lift in an office building. I just found this rather ... interesting.
We were coming back from lunch and taking the lift up, so i asked, 'hmm, i wonder what this does'
(if there WAS some kinda confidentiality thing i'm screwed then the CCTV would have caught me taking a pic of this haha)
Anyway above the lift buttons there is this white box which is obviously a card swiper. (maybe there's a better name like.. card reader. Access Restrictor. ynkow)
It is used basically in every kinda of secure office building? So that only workers with a pass can get past these access points.
The thing is, why is there one in the lift? It certainly isn't to restrict access, since you can press the buttons without swiping any card.
Our conclusion was that.. swiping the card allowed you to call for help? Like to the security room or something so you can go 'HELP I'M STUCK IN THE LIFT' or something.
Maybe it's a subtle message to workers to keep their passes on them at all times.
I can imagine an advertising campaign for this:
They are so evil.

tech free
Read this from the papers today:
Am i the only one who doesn't miss the irony?
'Sleep Easy' (i forgot the actual name) is a youth-initiated campaign that aims to improve the quality of sleep. The idea is that with technology today such as TV, Internet, and Handphones, we are getting distracted and losing alot of quality sleep. This campaign aims to reduce the use of technology and improve the amount of quality sleep we get each day.
So far, it has been very popular, with its Facebook page already attracting 400 followers.
