Three minutes silence

We just have had the three minute European silence to honour the tsunami dead and during the silence I must confess that I thought "why?". Not "Why did it happen" but "why the silence?". Instead of marking this horrific event with silence why not all donate 5 euros to the relief fund? Why not do something rather than showing respect by doing precisely nothing? If everyone in western europe who earns more than 40 000 euros per year gave 5 euros to the relief fund then I think we would have close to 1 Billion euros to donate. That would help.

And whats up with steven spielberg announcing that he is donating 1.5 Million dollars to the relief fund? Hello! Grandstanding is sooooo uncool. Mr Sielberg - try donating in private.

On a less ggrrrr note - I am resuming my TKD training on Jan 15th, and am joining up at a gym tonight. I have been drinking over Christmas but am jumping back on the wagon once kanga leaves for Singapore (Friday). My target is to stabilise my weight at 70 kg (currently I am 68kg) and maintain my current body fat of 15%. I was actually looking through some old posts from July last year, when I was 72.5 kg and 25.3% - I have come some way since then but don't want to lose more weight! Now I just want to gain some more muscle mass.

Anyway - hi to all in SG. Congrats to G&HK on their marriage - and look forward to seeing you all in March/April for a beer/dinner/karaoke/whatever.

Out - Neilus
