Daily Oil Blog

 I ran out of body deodorant so after work yesterday, went down to the nearest pharmacy shop to get one.It dawns upon me how we take personal  body care items like this for granted. Considering the huge amount of revenues generated by the perfumes industry to France and Italy.One realise the vanity of this comes from cheap oil, transportation of this products worldwide by cargo ships and trucks .

One day the perfumes and deodorant may not be so widely available causing prices to escalate and then the piorities of men may changed from vanity to sustainabilty.

Hi guys,

Just got back from Hong kong last week and like to share some of my thoughts of the commercial city .Singapore tends to be more sterile compared to HK for their buzz and thrill of the street life. It’s been more than a decade since I first step into HK and so the changes are more obvious.Transportation of trains and buses definitely have improved and is comparable to Singapore.

Crude decline may change HK in the coming decades, as declining populace of local HK chinese finds it more challenging to support a high cost consumer society bringing in more mainland cousins to fuel the habit, it’s been already been opening up for skilled labour I guess.

The HK model of property and financial services may not be a strength in oil shortage era.As the two industries tend to be linked with abundent and cheap oil in the last century.Can the future HK meet the challenge and change into a sustainable economic model?

The transition would take discipline and creativity which HK is stronger in the latter and Singapore stronger on the former.

I went to a dental checkup to do some scaling and polishing of my teeth after many years of lapse visits.By right one should at least do a routine yearly visit and I decided to make it my priority starting this year.

After years of neglect from the dental treatment, the dentist spent more time vibrating my teeth and gums, need less to say blood from the gums flowed and the pain tends to be intensified.This helps to prevent gum disease and cleanse the tartars from one’s teeth.

Luckily the the dentist I visited was more patient person so it puts me more at ease with the treatment.So for all those who have not make dental visit a yearly routine, please do so.Your teeth will be cleaner, gums healtier and less prone to bad breath.

Even though crude oil cannot relieve the discomfort of cleaning your teeth and gums for now, at least it will not increase the pain  by using manual instuments rather than employing  vibrator.

Kind of strange that the weather in June is stormy in certain days and I’m living on the equator of the planet!

19th of May is the celebration of Vesak day here in Singapore.For those in the west who do not know what’s a Vesak day is, it is the celebration of the birth and enlightenment of buddha.

My family though buddhists are never strict vegetarians but surprisingly my mum cook vegetarian meal today.Why the blues you may asked?The cyclones in Myanmar and earthquake disaster in PRC that killed tens of thousands ,the death toll is still rising.All this coincide with the Olympics 2008 held in China which is in Asia.

PRC military are rushing in but even then with the massive scale of human catastrophe in Sichuan china , the resources at their disposal may not be able to cope.Foreign rescue teams are allowed to help in the excavation efforts to save remaining people who survived but trapped under the rubbles.All this is being done when our crude energy are not being yet exhausted.

I’m never much of a religous person but after 911 my search for the meaning of life intensified, and the answers is never an easy one. Buddhism on the surface seems like a fatalistic faith , much more of a philosophy of life than a religion.Maybe that’s what life is all about, the fragility of men and coming to terms of one’s mortality.

After being back from the skin centre for the minor op to remove my skin tumour below my nose,I realised the importance of crude oil to our medical profession.The pain and anguish the patient need to go through if not for the mass production of the anesthesia injected upon the patients.

The unholy alliance between our healthcare industry and crude oil industry is not to be underestimated.It’s more than transportation of drugs and medical equipment worldwide but also the making of the above which could relieve the pain and sufferings and save lives.

Why is it unholy some of you may ask? Because this render many doctors helpless in situations where drugs and equipments are not available to help the afflicted.The whole medical profession though no fault of the modern physicians offers a narrowing of treatments not based on oil made products.The catastrophe of mankind if the structure falls will be unthinkable…

As I shruddered about the pain of the injection of anesthesia, lord knows what our forefathers went through without anesthesia.It’s really a troubling thought as I look at the stiched wound down my nose and wondered if it’s a blessing living in the modern era where medicine is closely tied up with the petrochemical industry.
