NSP 1st Rally (28th Apr 2011)

Dear friends, I hope as the election day is nearing, all eligible voters will be responsible and not remain apathetic as before.

Every vote counts.

My advise is whichever constituency you belong to (excluding Tanjong Pagar GRC), please read through the Manifestos carefully and consider the credibility of the candidates involved and make a wise decision.

We really need competent and ethical MPs to be Singaporeans' voice. Do bear in mind the following issues which are prominent:-

1. Housing policy (would you like to purchase your first flat at a sky high rate and having to repay it for the next 30 years?) - do you want to be mortgaging your whole life?

2. GST (increased from 5% - 7%; revenue collected: $1.9b, spending on helping the poor: $0.41b) - where did the rest of the money go?

3. Influx of foreign talent (at this rate, we'll have to flee to another country for survival due to cheaper foreign talent)

NSP for Tampines GRC! All the best Mr Goh Meng Seng & team! :)

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar. It was to have many friends. That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times. Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely. I can easily identify who my best friends are. They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person. Friends are essentially different from acquaintances. Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Grandfather Lee: YOUR vision, not mine!

Mr Lee (Kuan Yew) is a well-respected figure in my family. I shall take a picture of the biographies my parents have religiously bought some other day (maybe I should contribute by purchasing Hard Truths just to complete the collection). Anyone who studied Singapore history would respect him in some way or another. However, lately grandfather Lee seemed to be revealing his true self and not bothering much about how the current generation thinks about our society. Here is an article from New Nation, an online magazine I read. Former MM Lee Kuan Yew: The Singapore vision is your vision, not my vision. Pam Petite

I believe that a person's life experiences will largely influence how they behave & react in any given situation. I believe that I have become more optimistic nowadays. Thanks to: 1) God, 2) boyfriend & close / good friends, 3) inspirational & motivational books, These 3 things really played a huge role lately; especially this year. Personally, I am into the idea that one should eliminate anything that brings you down. I know that "eliminate" seems like a BIG word, what I'm trying to put across is, don't let anything come between you and your dreams. To being wealthy is genuinely 1 of my desire. It is the thought of being affluent & rich someday soon that keeps me going forward. In my opinion, becoming rich doesn't have to cost you anything. Meaning, you don't have to sacrifice your very precious time with your family members; neglecting what's emotionally of higher importance. I'm a believer that there's a way to strike a balan...
