BLAH

I think my attention span for this blog has run out. Gonna shut it down very very soon.

A victorious day for all civil societies in Singapore

The AWARE saga has brought to our attention how we should always respect each other's beliefs and also to question our own prejudices. I had thought that the Old Guards were gonna lose because at the last count, we were standing at 600 against 1000. I'm very glad Singaporeans had good sense and many came to vote. Usually whichever camp I suppose, they'll always lose. (damn suay right??). But this time, it was a sweet victory.

I must also say that Josei Lau took quite a lot from everyone and she deserves some appreciation too. However, her exco and herself need to realise that they should not allow their religious prejudices to encroach into secular spaces. Some say that the majority of Singaporeans are conservative. I doubt it. It's usually the conservative minority that makes the most noise. Most Singaporeans are tolerant, if not accepting of each other's differences and celebrate diversity. I'm very proud I'm part of this nation that has come so far and time and again, we did not allow religion and race to divide us. Yes there are still lots of prejudices and social injustices out there. It's up to us as individuals to open up and examine our prejudices. To quote Jamiroquai... Don't give hate a chance! :)

Leaning Tower of STC!

S bought a cup of milo today and guess what? It turned out to be the leaning tower of STC! We had a good laugh over it and I couldn't help but to hijack his tower to take this fabulous picture. (Btw... i think styrofoam is uber-environmentally unfriendly.)

Anyway, term's over for me! I've been so stressed thinking about my assignments. Now finally I can go back to concentrating on work. Whee! A

Broken strings

Heard this song on the radio while driving to work the other day. Love it.

Gratitude and Giving Thanks

I looked out of the window and wonder how many people walked through those gates without realising or reflecting on the effort, time and sacrifices others had put in for them. Many people are happy being mediocre, getting by and just passing. (I'm not. And I believe no one should be contented with just getting by.) And when you nudge them on, they bite you. And they bite you hard.

Hey but some nice pple came back today. I got two nice cards! Thinking about them now makes me feel better. Focusing on these good events will help me go a long way. I really have to do this to prevent a burnout. And hey I really have to say that clare's so much nicer and lovable these days and I'm not the only one to say that.

So here I am thinking and pondering with kosei playing in the background.
