I'm currently feeling quite amused, after reading the 'Reporters Without Borders' annual report on the freedom of press. Amused seems to be the wrong expression here, since I should be more worried than amused, due to my wish of joining the journalism trade (I'll never get in anyway, so who cares?). The concern here would be what Singapore's ranked, if you all still don't know. We're ranked 140 out of 167, and that doesn't seem to be a very good ranking, does it? In case any of you are interested in the list (which I doubt any of you are, since most people don't even read the papers daily), you can visit this site. Reporters Without Borders 2005 List. For once, Malaysia must be jumping up and down with joy at having beat Singapore at something. They're ranked 113th, and as afore mentioned, we're ranked 140th. Even Russia beat us by 2 places, and that sure tells a lot, doesn't it? And Australia beat the States! I was quite amazed, since such lists are normally based in the States, like Forbes is. But like what I'd told Irene, it was probably caused by the Iraq war. That's all I guess. Replies to tags: Yanne: You're welcome. :) Irene: Haha... You flatter me. Zeena: Don't you forget my contact numbers again... And yeah, I've signed your guestbook. Sylvia: Hi! Nice to see you tagging, and thanks for visiting! Jiaying: You can have the scores in it... I only want the file. Haha! And you're welcome too. Sheen: Yeah! Striking first prize would be the best. Ollie: Thanks! Qiuting: Hi! Your blog's quite fine actually. Don't worry! We don't go for the layout, but the content. Realised I haven't been replying to tags for ages. 3:02 PM
