Christmas Love

And when the angels sing
I want you by my side
I don't care how long I've been waiting for my baby

I can't deny what I feel inside
The music plays one special song
The words that they say I hope can bring you home to me

In your eyes, I found the greatest price
You and I could not be closer
And in your arms, is everything I want
Now I know my search is over

and I don't know where you take me
But it's exactly where I wanna be
--------------------

Magic


You're a Gryffinclaw!: You are a determined and
intelligent person who is used to getting your
own way all the time. You are very passionate
about your beliefs and will defend them until
your last breath. Often Griffenclaws work as
lawyers or activists because they have feel so
strongly about a certain subject. You feel that
knowledge is to be used in a practical way and
you often have a very low tolerance for people
you consider of low intelligence. Although you
aren't a social butterfly, you don't have
trouble making fiends, people are usually drawn
to you. Your weakness is that sometimes you can
be insensitive, you're too busy being witty
that you don't realize that you're hurting
peoples' feelings, often your friends. With the
wit of a Ravenclaw and the passion of a
Gryffindor you can face all your battles in
life head on!

Pissed Me Off

2 events pissed me off...

first is the furore going over the NS one... discipline vs compassion is the case... there is a fine line between meting out the punishment for deserters and giving them due respect...

read this article by a reporter in the papers, and yes 'SHE' (nothing against women) said, "if there is criticism, it should not be directed at the system, not the man." and "we experienced the return of a prodigal son. But rather than embracing him and his achievements, we chose to shoot him down and play up what he didn't do."

utterly disappointing and misleading. my take on this is that the system have been always right. it might not have been tweak to suit today's laws and requirements, but it has always been right. since it was in place, many countless of young men have been churned through that system... even women who have joined NS are put through that same system, despite theirs being a full time job.

as for why we shot him down, i guess its the reporters fault in the first place. they made the story, they shot the man down... National pride and duty is at stake, alot more important than what the 'deserter' have acheived. people (mostly men) in this situation would be furious if they didn't make a meal out of it...

i agree that we should be more compassionate to the 'deserter' for his acheivements are great to the country's music talent...no doubt he can be a role model for young budding musicians... but as a role model for duty and discipline, he fails quite miserably...

he faced the music, good for him for standing up as a real man. now take the criticisms head on. then the reporter had to finish off with this frustrating comment at the end of the article "now perhaps it is time to for our nation to rethink its notion of national service, so future Singaporeans will not need to have their loyalty(and their manhood) questioned unneccessarily."

WHAT THE! loyalty and manhood questioned???!?! she compared our NS to France's! i just wanna put the point across as in, here in SG, we've got how many people? 4 million with only 3.2 or slightly more are citizens...cut the numbers down to include guys only of NS age...probably around half that amount... YOU WANNA versus a Country that has 60 million!

its like comparing a pride of lions to a herd of sheeps (no direct reference to the countries lah) if one lion goes away, it means one less lion in a pride to work and to help out... but if one sheep goes away in a herd of hundreds...what matters does it makes? both also have one less...but the circumstances and seriousness of 'one less' matters!

so France can afford to stop conscription and let the men do other 'national services'... but if SG was to do that, how are we ever going to keep our interests protected? in our NS, we have avenues for budding young musicians or sporting talents to continue what they have been doing... its a matter of hard work and acknowledging the fact that they can handle both...so we do know that not every men is a warrior...

and here she is fanning the flames about the notion of NS and manhood! argh! utter spoiler... she ought to source her info right first before writing her article out...

----------------------------------

second is the INCONSIDERATE SINGAPOREAN DRIVERS!

you bloody heck bunch of snobbish and irresponsible drivers! user of the fast lane! argh!

lately i have been noticing ever since returning from overseas, our drivers have been rather inconsiderate lately...

they dun signal their intention to turn left or right...or they wanna keep left or right...so they just move without warning...no wonder we getting more and more accidents.. at least un-necessary ones

they speed dangerously along small lanes... might be seeking thrills like 'Initial D'??

WORST of ALL...they dun bloody give way to pedestrians who wants to cross the pedestrian crossing! (zebra crossing)

just last night i was at this junction and i was about to cross the 'zebra crossing' it was all clear for me to go...and there was this car, the only car, just slightly away from the crossing about 25 metres... i raised my hands signalling my intention to cross... and guess what...this bloody mitsubishi car driver just sped into the path not intending to let me cross...i was half foot out onto the road already man! this is utterly enraging for a pedestrian like myself... WHAT THE!

he didn't slow down... he accelerated... and the worst...he didn't give way! when the pedestrian is having the right of way!

if i was hit...by that speeding car...i guess i would not have found my way to this blog...

argh! is there some way we can keep our roads safer! gotta make the roads safer...think richmond think!

fed up =(
