新加坡人

和朋友聊天，突然觉得有些新加坡人如此没有礼貌可能是环境造成的。
试想一个拥挤的国家，怎能让人心情舒畅？再加上繁重的工作和无穷的压力，礼貌应该排在不重要的事项里吧？
我们是否太小却又想拥有太多了呢？

燃烧吧，烦恼！

快疯掉了！
怎么一直没办法改作业？
没完没了的行政真是让人感到厌烦！
谁有土油和火把？

迷思

Its unfathomable that some people just needs to be shouted at before they will do the right thing.

Why do the right thing? Guess this would be the thing going through in their heads.

Why should I?

Why bother?

So why am i bothering about this too?

Planning

I think i am beginning to find the passion back again.

Perseverance

What does one do when he puts in his all and yet do not see the results he desires?

I vaguely remember telling one student in 2005 about this.

Sometimes it's so much easier being the bystander.

As long as we have tried our best.

How resilient can one stay?

Quotes from World Updates:

"Are you going to punish [all the] citizens for that or the man who is responsible? Take me. Say that I violated all these human rights, killed people, right? Do you punish me, Mahinda Rajapaksa, or the innocent people of this country by sanctions, embargoes, travel advisories?"

Mahinda Rajapaksa, President of Sri Lanka, on winning the war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. (LTTE)



"To the Arabs, Israeli settlements have sliced and diced up territory that once belonged to them, taking scarce resources like water and requiring special checkpoints that make ther daily lives a misery."
