Singaporeans Not Contributing Enough

 

In Certain Ways

 In certain ways, Singaporeans are pathetic. Look at our society here! We are one of the ones listed among the top of being as the most highly stressed up nations of the world. Financial survival & living condition expenses is too costly & expensive here. We are all too busy surviving financially everyday to have time for any other things else. As a result of such we are also among the top for being a very lifeless country.  A very realistic way of describing us Singaporeans is that we are all personal slaves to the government & dogs to the company we are all working for.

  We have no life here. Not much of a night life as well. We don’t have time for life, no mood & energy for life as well. There is no such thing as retirement basically to say.  All of us are to work till the very day we die! Only then will we finally retire for good! That is how the environment & society as well as life in Singapore are like, basically to say.

 

Racial Ratio

Talking about ratios here, at the present, the highest according to their order with regards to racial population would be:

1)       Chinese

2)       Malays ( but their population is catching up with the chinese)

3)       Indians

4)       Eurasians

5)       Mix blood & other minority races

 

Gender Ratio

When talking about gender ratio, basically to say out of every 10 person here in Singapore 7 are females & 3 are males. (Singapore is in high shortage of male population & men are in demand in this point of aspects)

When talking about the ratio between the Young & old, well, actually the population of the young ones are not sufficient here. As time to come the ratio of the old will be a lot more than the young ones.  (That is why our Government is trying to increase it with foreigners here. From the way I judge it, as time to come or it might already be of the case now even perhaps, that foreigner population will be more than locals.)

 

Foreigner Vs Local in work force

When talking about the work force ratio it is in actual real fact as follows:

1)       MNC (Multi-National Companies or so call big corporations / International companies) has at least 70% foreigners if not even more working in the company & the remaining are locals & PR(s).

2)       SME (Small – Medium Enterprise or so call small companies & family business companies / local small companies) have at least 60% foreigners working in the company if not more than that & then the remaining will be locals /PR(s).

3)       Semi – Government ( Half Government Half Private) & Government Sectors although they say it is purely only Singaporeans & PR(s) that will be employed, but however the percentage of PR(s) is very high & don’t forget that PR(s) are still not Singaporeans. They still hold a foreign passport it is just that they can stay here permanently as long as they like that is why they are called as PR(s), Permanent Residents.

Foreigners are very cheap to employ. The Salary of one Singaporean is equal to the salary of 3 China People or 2 Malaysians. It means for every salary of one Singaporean you can employ either 3 China People or 2 Malaysians. 

 

Statistic in Marriage & Reproduction

Finally coming to Marriage & Reproduction! It is simply more than too common of the following:

1)       Singapore man strongly prefer to marry foreign wife over local girls

2)       Singapore woman highly prefer foreign man as husband over local man

3)       Most Singapore man get married somewhere around age of 28-30

4)       Most Singapore Girls get married somewhere around age of 26-28

5)       Most couples marry at late age & have children at much later age

6)       Many girls are too career minded & don’t want to get married at all

7)       Most people would stop at their 1st child & don’t want to reproduce anymore

8)        Some even don’t want to have children after marriage

9)       Those who have intention to have more children are too tired to reproduce.

10)   Couple are not as willing to let marriage & children affecting their careers

There are really a lot more that can be further continued but as to the main topic for today, it will be the point of marriage & reproduction as stated in the above.

 

Comparing With….

As we are such a competitive country that is able to rival Japan, Hong Kong, & Shanghai, many things are not easy here. Basically to say, our way of working style, mindset, environment, & culture regardless any place that you are working in is all the same, which is MULTI-Tasking! Multi-tasking has even reached to the point of extend that it has even rooted into our daily routine life hood as well too.

Such Kind of culture as far as concern as to my understanding so far, it is not at all practiced in places like Japan, Hong Kong & Shanghai. Their kind of working culture, mindset, environment & style is pretty different from ours.

Here in Singapore life is hectic! Everybody here is too busy working! Basically to say, you cannot afford not to work don’t even bother to talk about 1 year or 1 month, in fact it is one week or for some 1 day even!

It is all about working & earning money no anything else to that! We cannot afford not to work, if we don’t work we have no money & without money it is impossible to survive!

As a result of such, our people are more realistic & practical. Some even tend to be very materialistic & money minded especially for many of our Singapore girls.

Being this way when many of us are so career & money minded, how can marriage & reproduction come into the picture then?

 

Singapore man strongly prefers to marry foreign wife over local girls!

Talking about the first point which is:  Singapore man strongly prefer to marry foreign wife over local girls!

Why would this then be so? Reasons are simple! Singaporean man finds that Singaporean girls are:

1)       Too difficult to satisfy ( regardless whichever type of satisfaction you are thinking about)

2)       Too materialistic ( particularly the 5C(s) Cash, Car, Credit Card, Career, & Condominium)

3)       Not easily contented

4)       Asking for too much (Want a lot but compromise & sacrifice too little or none even) 

5)       Simply turn/switch the local Man off about them.

6)       Cannot satisfy him at bed ( lousy at bed or didn’t him enough sex)

7)       Not family orientated enough

8)        Too career minded, too strong, higher salary & position than the man ( lowers his pride & dents his ego)

9)       They have too much say & power! Guys find themselves with too little.

10)   Never give the man enough freedom, face & respect! ( Don’t feel treated like a man enough as well)

 

The Scope & Range of Wives we Marry

As a result of such, it has all along been the case that many Singaporean men marry foreign wives. In the past it first started off purely with just Malaysia & Indonesia.  Then as time goes by the range & scope goes into Philippines & Thailand. However it did not stop just at this, the scope went further up north into Vietnam & then eventually followed by China & India. This scope & range in which our local men go out hunting for wives is just simply constant expanding & increasing.  The demand for foreigners as wives here in Singapore is in actual fact in very high extreme demand!

Men here believe that these girls of foreign lands make a better wife than our locals! That is the perceptions, mindset & believes that most of the man here has. These men at the same time usually always go for younger & prettier girls as wives. (Do introduce/recommend  your friends to marry Singaporean man or you; yourself can consider marrying Singaporean man as husband if you are a foreign girl reading this post [on the overall there is only gain to stand marrying a Singaporean Man])

Singapore woman highly prefer foreign man as husband over local man!

Next! Singapore woman highly prefer foreign man as husband over local man! Why is this so?

Usually Singaporean girls are very & most highly extremely attracted to white man. (Caucasians) In the usual case they will dream & desire for a white man as their husband! The efforts & duration needed/required to spend to acquire a Singaporean girl as a wife for the white man in the usual case is very minimal as compared to local Singaporean to get themselves a Singaporean girl as wife. Getting a Singaporean girl as a wife for the white man here in Singapore is simply too easy for them. (Easy until beyond descriptions)

There are still many things to be further elaborated in the above paragraph in fact but I shall skip it then.

Next if you are a Japanese or Korean Man, You are also in demand just like those white men. The only thing is that white men are in better demand that’s all. Perhaps the media, those dramas & movies as well as songs from & about Japan & Korean did make a contribution to this factor as well.

 

They Believe

Many Singaporean girls will be more than too proud if their boyfriend or husband is a foreigner especially in particular if they are one of those I had mentioned above of. They have a high tendency to brag & boast about you & will want to show off that that they have a boyfriend/Husband who is a foreigner.

To the impression & how most Singaporean girls perceived, they strongly believe that foreigners can give then more happiness, better satisfaction & a better life than compared to a local man. They also think that the treatment they will receive is also better than local man from a foreigner. Foreigners to them are much better than locals & can give them a lot of things that locals can never give them.  Foreigners are also believed to be more devoted, romantic, & gentleman than a local as well to them.  They are more manly, handsome, charming, gentle, polite, sexy, hot, & most importantly, they are much more richer than locals.

It is also believed that a foreigner can give them give better sex or a better sexual life than a local man as well. They tend to have greater fantasy of going to bed with a foreigner than with a local. Foreigners can give her better pleasures, excitements, thrills, satisfactions etc….

Many local man to the local Singaporean girls, are not man enough for them & too useless!

Average age of marriage

The next point of elaboration will be on:

1)       Most Singapore man get married somewhere around age of 28-30

2)       Most Singapore Girls get married somewhere around age of 26-28

It is because of the fact of the cruelties of life; many of us Singaporean will want to choose focus on earning money & climbing up the corporate ladder. As a result of such, it is pretty impractical to marry at a young age. Hence most of us will choose to marry late when we are more stable.

 As to the point about that most couples marry at late age & have children at much later age, it is actually interlinked with the above statement of the average age of marriage by most people.  Some even get married at a much later age that the above average age. Marrying at late age also bring about not being able to have much children & in some cases none at all due to the physical body condition.

Also late marriages also meant that they may not have the means to support as much children as well.

Too Career Minded & don’t wanna marry

About this point of many girls are too career minded & don’t want to get married at all, one thing is that many of our girls are a little too smart or perhaps there might be some who are acting smart who knows? At the same time our girls are also a bit too independent! Equally like man, they do have dreams, aspirations, & ambitions as well. Being very well educated or in some cases better educated than our local man, these girls of our too become very career minded. Many of them wants to career woman, business woman, entrepreneurs & stuffs like all these.

As they become over career minded or more career minded than our man here, they are simply not interested in marriage. Perhaps the most is just dating only but no marriage! Another factor would be that in the gender ratio as in the most earlier statement of this post where I have stated that females are 7 & males are 3, there isn’t enough local man for them to marry also.  Let’s don’t talk about local man are not their kind of cup of tea, even if they are, the local man population is not enough. Hence, they can only wait for foreign man to pick them up & take them away. If they can’t hook onto any foreign man as well, how to find a man to get married?

Children, Marriage & Career

Finally, as to below following point,

1)       Most people would stop at their 1st child & don’t want to reproduce anymore

2)       Some even don’t want to have children after marriage

3)       Those who have intention to have more children are too tired to reproduce.

4)       Couple are not as willing to let marriage & children affecting their careers

 

Children

To have children, to support them & to bring them up is seen by many people as an expenditure! Some even say that Children is an investment but with no returns. If even you are not one of those who view things this way, to bring up a child here in Singapore is but an actual fact very expensive!

The amount of money, time, energy & effort spend on them is indeed definitely a lot! They cannot afford to have so many children. They are not able to support than many or to bring up that much. How are they going to strike a balance between children & work? Furthermore taking care of children is not easy. That is also one of the many reasons why many couple would get maids, nanny or their parents to help look after the children.

 

Marriage & Career

 Here in Singapore just one person alone working is not enough, furthermore in our society, there is no such thing as retirement! We all work to the very last day of our lives in this world! We work till the day we die. One the day we died, that is indeed actual retirement! Everybody in the family needs to work to survive.

Some of them aim to achieve a lot in their careers & children to them are something that stands in their way.

Even for those who have intention to reproduce more, their daily routine lives simply wears them down & they are just too tired to do some reproduction. No Time, No Energy & No Mood! Even if they have, it will be money not enough to have more children.

Others just simply either that they don’t like children or that they just want to be alone as a couple with a lot of their private moments & time. Having children would mean an end to their world of their own! Having children will have a change in their lives. There will be less privacy & many more & they just don’t want that to happen.

All of these above 6 paragraphs are a brief & quick summary to the 4 stated points.

Baby Bonus

Our Government did try to do many things to improve the situation. They do a lot of advertising over the media to encourage marriage & reproduction. They Government also offer a policy of baby bonus! To simplify what this baby bonus policy is about, it is simply means that we get paid by the government to have sex with our husband/wife to have children. For every each & every child we reproduced we get paid by the government handsomely so called. The policy aims to let the couple to do a lot of love making & reproduce.

However despite this so called “Handsome” reward we get, to many, it is still not enough. Anyways, the Government of ours aims & target with hopes that per couple under this baby bonuses will each have 4 children.

SDU-SDS

However all of these are still not yet enough to solve the problems here. Hence, now our beloved government is even nicer to us all. They sure are so nice to us & take very good care of us until to the extent of interfering into our private lives. They created this SDU-SDS!

This department of the government aims to help/assist us all to fall in love & to get married! For Singaporeans who are single & below the age of 40, we are already members! It is an auto-sign up.

The only way in which a person can get out of this group which they have been automatically sign up into is only when they get married or they past the age of 40.

Hopefully

Well hopefully policies will improve the conditions here in terms of marriages & birth rates. The percentage of Singaporeans locally inside of Singapore has to be no matter what more than the foreigners here.

Anyways at least for the time being Singapore will not face the problem of overpopulation yet! Perhaps years later in the future when the current policies are over successful it might happen then.

Another factor will be living condition here whereby people can afford to have more time to have sex & reproduce. With the current standard of living & conditions here, this will be something pretty much impossible! Until the day our lives is a bit more relaxed & affordable can we then have more time & energy as well as mood to have sex & reproduce.

 

Talents

Also, our current government policies over concentrates on foreign talents instead of local talents! Too much of our local talents are gone to waste or buried. Till the day this situation changes will the situation of marriage & birth rate change as well.

 

More Singaporeans

The rate of employment also has the change with lesser foreigners in Singapore & more Singaporeans in the local work force. At the same time, the government should also do more efforts into helping locals to become expatriates in overseas. A pool of market & demand for Singaporeans in the overseas should be created whereby our policy will be targeting into Singaporeans going to overseas to work.

Also, even more should be done to help Singaporeans set up their own business not in Singapore locally but instead in overseas. The future for Singaporeans & the only future for future Singaporeans are no longer inside their own land but instead in the soils of overseas land! This is something I strongly believe in. There will not be of any future to speak of in the years to come for Singaporeans inside of Singapore locally.   

 

Singapore is for basic & Foundation & the rest must be in overseas

Singapore is a good place to built up & establish foundations as well as to gain good education, life exposures, working experiences & social networking. It is only the basics. Anything else further/higher/greater to that, it has only to be overseas to reach to the next level.

 Singapore is defiantly the worst place in this whole world in terms of retirement & to enjoy life!

 

To Encourage or Discourage?

Actually myself I also don’t know should I encourage or discourage that the foreigners just take away our girls? It is pretty confusing, actually. In certain aspects if more Singaporean girls are being taken away by the foreigners it can be good in certain ways.

One thing the girl herself perfects her language skills, becomes a PR of the country of the man she marries to, have a better life there & give us local man here lesser troubles/problems only up to certain sense.

However, seeing others taking away our girls out of our own country also does not reflect well on us local man in certain as well. Is it that we are too lousy & incapable to marry our own local girls or it that our girls are simply such a reject & of little value & worth that we don’t want them at all?

Regarding Singaporean girls all out for foreign man over locals & Singaporean man all out for foreign girls over locals is defiantly right now a trend & it is simply too common now! Is this something good or bad? This is indeed very debatable & subjective.

 

Yes! To Polygamy

If the number of females in Singapore regardless locals or foreigners continues to increase & it is becoming very imbalance between the number of females & males, to strike a balance & to increase the percentage of girls able to have 1 man each, Polygamy have to be implemented & very strongly encouraged.

One of the factors but not completely to adultery, mistresses etc…. is as a result of when polygamy is not being practiced when the ratio of females is too many over the males.

Do refer to the below if you need to

http://saikitshijie.blog.friendster.com/2009/04/1-guy-with-many-wives/

 

I support marrying of foreign wives

 Myself personally, I am uncertain whether or not to encourage foreigners marry away our local girls. But however, I very strongly encourage the marrying of foreign wives by our local man.

I view it as a good way to contribute to our multi-racial multi-whatsoever bla  bla etc… society of Singapore in certain ways. I should believe that the goodness will be more than bad!

It is a good way of cultural exchange for us Singaporean man & us all making this place truly uniquely Singapore!

In terms of our breed it will make us more mixed which is something good for Singapore actually. We are actually making a very Singaporean race. Furthermore, mix children are better looking & tend to be better than those who are not mixed in certain ways.

 We can get to learn a lot from other nations & reducing on the policy of foreign talents in the future.

It is also a good way to re-reform & change many things in our Singapore society with the marrying of foreign wives.

Perhaps you might even be able to list out more & this section will be very long.

Anyways generally to say, foreigners make a better wife than our local girls. In fact I, myself also do have intentions to marry a foreign wife.

  

Are Singaporeans Contributing enough?      

Off the topic a little bit on other issue. The topic here of Singaporeans not contributing enough in terms of marriage & reproduction is the main topic I am talking about here, but side track a little let us look at other matters then.

During the very early days, yes indeed our forefathers & ancestors contributed a lot! However coming to today, are we still contributing & if we still indeed are, are we then contributing enough?

I should believe from my own person point of view, that to our “beloved government the way they see us, we Singaporeans are definitely not contributing enough!

How about yourself? Any views or opinions?

 

Look

 Perhaps let us look at the below & form some impressions

We Want to Contribute But…..

It is true that there is a decline to nationalism & loyalty to country of Singaporeans to Singapore. I am very sure of many things that our locals would like to do but ! But ! But ! it is all about the But(s) !

Moving on back to the main topic again, it is said that there are more locals who know wants to get married & have more children. Frankly speaking, very seriously I am very doubtful of this survey results.

But anyways perhaps you want to read about it.

The Middle East !

Asia is basically a very Big Piece of Land.  It is a Continent which lies in the middle of the world with eurpope on it’s west, Africa on it’s south west, Pacific region in the south & American continent in the East.

To further divide it, it will be :

     Northern Asia      Central Asia      Southwest Asia      Southern Asia      Eastern Asia      Southeastern Asia

 

The Term Middle East commonly known to most & Traditionally known to most people is the area of southwest Asia.

However, In actual fact,  it is much bigger than what we imagine it to be.  It does include some portions of Southern Asia, North & NorthEastern Africa as well the portion of Central Asia Too !

Tsunami 2009 !

It is a rather recent wide spread of an email that many people has received of a tsunami prediction that will be coming soon to hit in 2009 of July 22nd !

Forwarded Email

This email is basically a forwarded email forwarding across the world i should believe & most people by now should not be finding this email such a stranger or anything new.  The subject title of the email that i had received was : 22nd 2009 another Tsumani

The source is absolutely unknown & the reliability of the information is still a very big question mark. It is as follows below :

Hi,

Please be more cautious as the warnings has been given.

Attached a photo for u

I just received this message from a colleague. I don’t know the source of the message; I also don’t know the credibility of the content, but just beware.

Below is the content on the message:

“Hello there. I just wanted 2 let you know that please stay away from the beaches all around in the month of July. There is a prediction that there will be another tsunami hitting on July 22nd. It is also when there will be sun eclipse. Predicted that it is going 2 be really bad and countries like Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak), Singapore, Maldives, Australia, Mauritius, Si Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines are going 2 be badly hit. Please try and stay away from the beaches in July. Better 2 be safe than sorry. Please pass the word around. Please also pray for all beings.”

Analyzing The Photo

Looking at the photo, well, Singapore does not seem to be in the rage to me. It does instead seem to me that  the Philippines, Japan ,Taiwan & perhaps Korea will be very badly hit !

Well according to this email it not just gave you the date but also the time as well.   In Full it is on a Wednesday July 22nd 2009 between the time of 3pm to 7pm (1500hrs – 1900hrs).

Well, i am not really into science & so on hence i cannot really comment much also. Just that i would say i am very doubtful on this information. Should it be true it should be on the headline & something that many governments of many countries will be discussing about & doing something about it before it comes. But why is it that there is nothing from the government?

It will not make sense that this person can know it & nobody in the government is aware of this coming disaster? The government definately has better man of talents who can predict this before even some fellow from don’t where by don’t what means predicts it.

Or is that another possibility that the government already knows but do not want to alarm the people? But this fellow somehow spoil everything & go around creating panic & alarm to people?

Which is which? What do you think?

Opinions From Blogs & Forums

Let’s have a look at some links & see what others in the blogs & forums have to say about it

http://www.expatsingapore.com/forum/index.php?topic=5498.msg199387

ok by now after reading on the above links of Blogs & forums i should believe you will have some opinion of your own by now.  Perhaps you may want to express it out by leave some comments .

I should believe that you can see that most people did not believe it at all !

Now ! all of us are not any professionals or experts with regards to such matters. We are all just as ordinary people living in this world.  Alot of things it is too early or perhaps too easy for us all to say.

Listen to the “EXPERTS & PROFESSIONALS”

Let’s  now look into the below link & see what the so called “EXPERTS & PROFESSIONALS” have to say about it.  Let’s look into how possible or impossilbe it is.

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20090415/tap-504-email-hoax-earthquake-tsunami-as-231650b.html

According to the above link, it states that this email does not hold any water but somewhat or rather there is some truth that indeed there will be a solar eclipse. According to the proferssor, there is no connection between eclipse & earthquake. But warns of research which show Asia facing pacific will be hit by tsunami. Should in any event singapore gets hit it will be most minium.  He also said that some part of singapore should be able to see the eclipse which is around 8.40am to 9.40am.

http://www.antara.co.id/en/arc/2008/9/20/expert–singapore-not-tsunami-proof/

However, according to this above link, it states that Singapore is not Tsunami proof ! it is definately possible for a Tsunami to hit singapore & that Changi Airport as well as Jurong Island will be destroyed by the Tsunami.

http://www.nea.gov.sg/ar06/05SideTsunami.html

Next, accroding to this above link, it states that it is absolutely impossible that Singapore will ever be hit by Tsunami as we are natural disaster Free due to our geographfical location.

http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_315022.html

This above Link also further confirms of the impossibilities that singapore can be hit by tsunami It is definately & absolutely impossilbe ! Singapore is Tsunami Free!  But should it happen, then there places to be hit would be : West Coast Park, Labrador Park, Sentosa, the Southern Islands, East Coast Park and Pasir Ris Park.

http://www.wildsingapore.com/news/20060102/060116-2.htm

In the above link, it also confirm to ensure that singapore can never be hit by Tsunami ! The main reason is geography !

http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/Singapore/Story/A1Story20081216-108275.html

Needless to say anymore the above once again virifies that there is no such possibility. Basically to say 0% possible 100% confirm !

http://www.tmsi.nus.edu.sg/tmsi-in-tsunami-study

But to play things safe, the above link says that in any event should Singapore get hit by tsunami , it is definately not life threatenning at all.  Rest Assured !

FEAR NOT ! UNLESS ….

So,  if the so called “EXPERTS & PROFESSIONALS” said so, basically we can be assured that it will not happen at all even !   Wednesday July 22nd 2009 between the time of 3pm to 7pm (1500hrs – 1900hrs) will be just but another ordinary day for us all.

There is Indo-China (Laos,Cambodia & Vietnam), Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, & especially indonesia who are acting as the shield for singapore. Any natural disaster to come, they will be the first to get it but for the natural disastrer  to reach singapore, it is as good as impossible !

It is only unless that these shields or so called barricades or fortifications of ours are gone would it then be possible for singapore to be hit ! In such event to come when we get hit under such suitation, i should guess that we will all go sunk under the sea & can really say hello to the South sea dragon king ! (南海龙王 )haha ! 

 

So in another words to say, this email is defined as a hoax !

Tsunami  Hoax

Let’s now look at links regarding on tsunami hoax then !

All of the above links are basically articles with regards to Tsunami hoax. So well, the hoax on that the tsunami which will hit singapore is not the only 1. There are more as you can see for yourself & mayb even more which you can find for yourself on your own.

The Newpapers

On the papers of the Newpaper on Saturaday, 11th April 2009, there is an article which speaks about a Singaporean Teenage girl offering of her nude photo to anyone who can provide her with the best gifts for her pet society which is game in facebook. I would think that this is an issue of address & concern.

Article on the Issue

You may want to refer to the below following links on the article i am talking about should you be unclear of what i am even talking about

Questions To Be Asked

There are alot of Questions to be asked , based on this article !
However the most critical point of concern & issue to really ask would be : What is really becoming of our young generations?

There are people who deemed her to be loose & low self esteem, & perhaps who knows? there might be people who find it very okay & instead think on the other way round that those who think the otherwise are so old fashion or something like that!

One thing that will never change is that generations who were of their age that time & the current generation of that age this time are different  & will forever be different ! it can never ever be the same!

When we were all of that age, didn’t we too also think that others don’t understand us, don’t know us, old fashioned, stuck in the mud & all the bla bla etc……?

This is the exact same thing that will always surface & repeat itself constantly. It is a cycle. It exists for all generations & era ! it simple never changes !

When things like this were to happen, we cannot simple point our fingers to them & that’s it ! end of story & talk !
NO ! That is not the way !

They are still young, inexperienced, imatured, ignorant, somewhat innocent, somehow still childish, stll unaware of many things & sort of rash, hot headed  & foolish as wellas still in need of protection.
Hence it will not be correct to all the point fingers at this teenage brats over every single thing for all things.

Being of thier age is called as a dangerous age. To become good or bad really starts from there & of that age they need the most guildance & discipline!
They are most easily swayed & influenced. Especially by peers! Hence the company of people they are mixing with at this point of their age is of most grave importance.

Factors

To simplify everything, what becomes of the next generation fall on a few things which are:
1) What sort of society & environment they are living in ?
2) What sort of influences & exposures are they having ?
3) What sort of up bringging are we giving/porviding them ?
4) What sort of education are we educatating them of ?

These are the primary factors that explains to what sort of future generation we will have. To have what sort of future young generations of tomorrow will greately depend on what are the answers to the 4 earlier mentioned questions

East Vs West, East & West

Another question of big concern will also be that Singapore as an Asian country in the Asian continent, What is really happenning to our Asian Values? where have all our Asian values went to? How is it that we are loosing our Asian values?

We are not any European, or of any white man/ Caucasian nations in which the impression of the people are commonly known to very loose in values to many people. As to if that is really the case that will be another question to look into seperately. 

One thing we all need to understand which is no matter how westernize or whatsoever ever a person can be, he/she is still an Asian after all in the end ! How much & far can a personal really be westernize? The roots & origins is something that never ever changes.

Another thing we must all know is that Singapore is itself a very westernize nation ! Generally to say our people are all pretty westernize people on the overall scale regardless of race & so on.
Singapore is the middle & the center point of the 2 sides of the word ! from East to west & From West to east ! It is here in Singapore where the 2 come together.
Next, Singapore has been colonize by the British for over more than 100 years. The western elements & influence is extrememly strong here !
following next will be that despite that our national language is malay, however, we have been all unified under the language of English !

Ever since after our British masters has left us behind & after we have broken away from malaysia & after our independence, Singapore has close relationship with the west ! we have all along been learnning many things from the west & much of the westerners have been invited to help us in the developing of our nation. This even further streghtened the Western influences & elements in Singapore making us further most even westernize.

We have also been much into westn culture & other matters in many ways too! we all watch many American movies, dramas & cartoons. We play many American computer games & other games.

The west has always seem to leave a very good impression to many of us that they are stronger & better than Asians all this period of time.

We always admire the west people & alway like to have the chance to visit the west nations & more than happy if we have western friends or if we are able to work in a western company.

Singaporeans up to present still cannot shake off the image , fact & fantasy that the West are not our masters ! We still see them as out masters somehow or rather subconciously.

Many of us want & like to be like the west !

We should instead reduce the elements & influences of the west in Singapore. Raise the influneces & elements of the East ! At least in any worst scenerio let there be a balance in the element/influence of the west & East ! none of each side should be more that the other. Make the both well balance! That is the least thing to do.

We have to raise the issue & concern to make the local feel proud of their asian heritage & origins. Feel honored & proud to be an Asian ! instill the mindset to the people of making Asia as a whole continent Pride, Honor, Glory & most of all Proud ! Work & move towards that it is something prestigeous to be an Asian !
We ASians ought to be United !

Values , Education & Up bringging

Our Education should be instilling & focusing/concentrating into the teaching of Asian values & Increasing all thing Asia to our young generations while they are still in kidergarden, primary & secondary !

More promotions by more organisations should be done to promote our Asian cultures, traditions etc….

More programes & etc… should be done by the media & press on our Asian everything !

Lastly & most importantly our Government should do more to make Singapore More Asian than westernized

Alot of confucianism thoughts ought to be taught to the young generation from as young as they can begin with.

But even when & if everything has been done, how & what it is into the up bringging of a child in a family is still most important. Parent should bring up their child well.

on the Overall scale, the culture & Asian values elements in Singapore & singaporeans is considerbly very low indeed !

We are not really into of a country on culture but instead into modernization , Technology, Research & development. As we are strongly focusing on all these things & becoming strong in them, we are also on the other hand becoming weak in terms of culture & values.

It is very difficult to have a balance of everything! Our government did right thing at that point of time as per proven by time & history ! should our focus back then be on culture & values, we are still today a very terribly backwards & under developed nation !

But now that we are already so modernize, developed & so on, should we not go back & focus on culture & values before suitation gets worst beyond salvation in the near future?

We cannot change or stop the difference between the Generation X , Y or even Z ! But we can however change on what sort of Generation X, Y or even Z are we producing !

Concernning Her

Based on the article, what I can say is that to her it is something of a norm or something very typically common among people of her generation around her. There is nothing to make a big fuss over it.

Perhaps her peers & her environment as well as exposures etc….. are also somewhat similiar or worst & perhaps to her she is not the worst case as compared to others whom she might know of that might be more extreme than what we can imagine or know of.
What i can say of her is that she is loosing in her Asian values & view too little of her chasity. But ! the fault / blame may not neccessary be entirely 100% on her !

She will need much re-tunning & counselling of her mindset & perspective of many things by many people should we not want her to sink futher deeper.

What is Sg Like? How about Sg Girls?

As you have now looked into the all those Sex & related topics as stated above, what is your view & opinion of Singapore & singapore Girls on such topics?
Do voice out a little.

The question still falls back into what is our society becoming into & what is becoming our young generations?
What is your solution to this problem?

What is your impression, views & opinion to this girl mentioned in this article of this posting?

 

Polygamy

What is Polugamy? It simply implies on a system of one man with multiple wives.

Polygamy Defination
The following are the in dept explainations sources
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigamy
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Polygamy

My Stance

Myself, to & from my own personal view/opinion, my stance & conclusion to you is that i am a supporter to this idea / Concept of Polygamy!

However, I must also clearify that it is not everything about Polygamy that i approved of. It is on a general whole on the overall that I approve & agree to Polygamy but not every single thing of it.

Religious Point of View

Let us go step by step at a time. First let us start off with the Religious point of view.
Pls kindly click & read on the following sources :

Polygamy Supported by Religions

If you have already read on the articles of all of the above links, on the overall basics, It can be said that religion also very strongly supports Polygamy especially in particular for certain religions.
From the religion stance, Polygamy is definately approved !
However, commonly today of what we know of, it is the Islamic religion that supports it the most of all. As time to come, Through the means & implementations of humans, it is not praticed & discontinued in other religions for certain reasons.

Most of us has the commom impression that except for the Muslims, all other religion disapproves , dispermit & disallows the pratice of Polygamy which is not entirely true. It is instead the opposite of what most of us commonly thought it to be.

The Religion itself, Allows Polygamy ! It is the Humans themselves who tried to put a stop to it.

Culture, Tradition, Culture, Heritage & History

Polygamy in ASIA

On the overall, Polygamy is being praticed all along during the ancient days & mostly, mainly , especially in particularly in ASIA in which Polygamy pratices is very & absolutely most exggerating.

Taking China for an example, the following figures is fully based on my own personal estimation from my limited knowledge of the old days. The below is on how many wives a man will have. (figures may not be very accurate & it does not refer to the case each & every man’s suitation is like this. It can varies as an individual.)

Usually a commoner will have only 1 wive, But if he is a village chief or some wealthy commoner in the town/city, at the minium he will have 2 wives
Merchants, & Traders can have quite alot but at their minium I should believe it is at least 3 that they have.

As for the officials, officials at the bottom to moderate level at their minium may have at least 5 if not 7 wives. As the Officials & Ministers who are high ranking & who are above the moderate level, at their minium I should believe it is at least near or around 10 wives.

As to the nobles, imperialist, royals & especially in particularly the Emperor of China, It has usually very commonly said that the Chinese Emperors typically have 3000 (Three Thousands) wives & this number is just an average number only.

As to the personnels in the Military especially the generals & commanders, it will be too difficult to estimate. some can also be alot  & some too little or even none at all.

Not just in China is Polygamy being praticed but also as well as in Japan, Korea, Mongolia Especially, India, the Middle east nations, Myanma(Burma), Siam(Thailand), Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia etc…

It is very typical & common that most people will usually link Polygamy to Aisa & especially in particularly, China as polygamy is most exggeratingly praticed in China ! In the West ! the pratice is not as common & not as exggerating!
Even in the Continent of Africa, it is also being praticed there since the ancient times & it is something very typical & common too as well. However little is being known about polygamy in the African continent.

During those ancient days & age of cave man, such pratices of polygamy is simply too normal & common through out the world espcially for those tribesman & natives as well. Not too sure about the aborigines but perhaps it was too something that they pratice as well & if it is true I would not find it suprising anyways.

You can also have polygamy to be generally linked up as part of the culture, & tradtion of ASIA. Polygamy can be said to be a heritage of Asians in certain aspects.

Therefore there is absolutely nothing wrong with the concept & context as well as to customs or anysort with regards to Polygamy.

Confucianism Polygamy

Even to Confucius, he too also supports Polygamy! Do kindly do a read up on the links as follows below.

http://www.dinahproject.com/articles_view_details.asp?id=217

The below is a statement extracted out from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy#China in which it states that : In Confucianism, taking concubines were allowed, but a man must have a just reason for it. For example, if his wife is not able to give birth to a son, he would be allowed to take a concubine. If a man wants more wives for sexual indulgence, it would be unacceptable.

After looking at Polygamy with regards to History, Heritage, Traditions, Customs & Culture where which it can be decleared as correct, let’s us move on to other points.

Economics of Polygamy

Econimics Conclusion

Basically to say from the Economics of Polygamy, some would suggest that it as negative as it will be very expensive to support so many wives but others said the vice versa way as it will contribute to more sources of income & revenue as more people in the family in earning money.

Some also said that having more wives will resut in high increase in the quantity of children but not quality, but however not all agree to it as well.
On the overall whole, it is rather subjective & debative to this topic on if it will be economical to have many wives. Hence, depending on the suitation & the scenerios of the individuals variations I would say it is something neutral. But numbers are however higher on the negative side that it is uneconomical.
Although I am a supporter of Polygamy, however polygamy is not for everyone or anyone & anyhow. This is also part of my conclusion.

Before having a polygamy, there are also much factors to consider first !
Next, let’s move on to the Law (legal polygamy)

Legal Polygamy

 Let’s first look at the below links on legalized Polygamy

Legalized Places of Polygamy

Basically to say, it is legal is all Muslim countries around the world & very recently, the west in which it will be USA ( America) that we will be refering to that is gradually accepting it & legalizing it , become a now a new trend.
Originally polygamy is praticed in many countries around the world & there is nothing wrong about it, but the reasons for why it is stop & to some extend banned & illegalized or forbidden was of factors of  :

  1. Western Influence on the rise since the late 1700s
  2. Modernization of Society
  3. Changes & influences in Mindset due to media & education
  4. Womans becoming independent
  5. lessons from the past
  6. Breaking away from traditions etc…

Especially to Strong Western influences that changed most of the world & people in the world due to colonization for over at least 1 century if not longer, much of pratices of polygamy was removed by them from most of us.
However today, due to Racial, Religious issues, & the inbalance ratio of the genders as well as other society problems, the west are now starting reaccept, implement & legalized it once more.

Actually in the first place it should not be completely taken away & discontinued in the first place. Partially is still acceptable for me. However back then when they were strong, what they wanted to do was to remove it completely. Anyways things are now returnning back to normal once it has become common in the west, it is bound to become more than just common in Asia definately.

Since they took it away from us, Asians, it is but only correct that it is returned back to Asia. Taking away something that isn’t wrong is definately wrong !

Basically, it is definatly correct to have laws that governned on polygamy with laws. This will clearly define adultary / extra martial affairs & polygamy. If Without laws people will misbehave & families can be broken up.

http://anthro.palomar.edu/marriage/marriage_3.htm

After Having reading through, what is your opinion now? Any conclusion so far? Bascially to say, on my part, I agree to polygamy as :
1) Inbalance Ratio of the genders
On the overall, females youth is limited & they have a longer lifespan as well as that the ratio of females in the whole world is more than that of males. Now let’s make things more simplified & easier to understand. Imagine this scenerio, If there are only 100 woman in this world & 50 man in this world & that each man marries one woman, what would then happen to the remainning 50 womans? Instead, if each of the 50 man took 2 wives each, the ratio will be very much balace. No one is being left out.
Next, Also due to such inbalance ratio, what will happen to those that is being left out? that is beascially one of the several reasons of how you explain one night stand, adultary, extra matarial affaris, mistresses & many more due to this inbalance ratio as one of the contributing factor.
Also at the same time another one of the results will be that they will become into as Monk, Nuns, Priest, Priestress etc…….

2) The House duties is being shared.
Instead of one woman doing all the housework & duties, with more wives, it is evenly distributed & there is better efficiency. Finishing the housework earlier & effectively, There can then be more time for other things. The employment of maids or nanny can also be saved up. some can stay at home & some can go out to work. In this way it might be perhaps cost saving & economical.

3) More Say of the Woman in the household
With more woman in the household, the Woman can end up having a bigger & stronger say in the household as they are the majority now. The husband will have to give in more in certain aspects.

4) Lesser chance of being cuckold
In the most typical & common case that we know of, the woman felt lonely & that is the start to many cuckold cases. Now, in the case of multiple wives, she has companionship of your other wives to look over her & accompany her till your return. Should one misbehave, there are others to maintain the discipline etc… You can be working at ease knowing that your home is well taken care off also in another way

5) Harder for the man to source for new woman
When having multiple wives, chances are lesser for the guy to misbehave outside when he has enough woman to satisfy them & committment to them. There are more eyes to watch over the man in way to prevent him from misbehaving in certain aspects.

6) Better protection for woman
Be it the scenerio of wife beater or wife abuser & the wife suffer alone in slience in the typical usual case, having more woman can help out whereby they can protect one another as they are all woman after all. Also in cases where the husband is not around, having more wives at home can help in protection & looking after each other should there be any danger around that occur in the absence of the husband.

7) More Children
Giving birth the children can be distributed & shared among the woman instead of all falling onto one.
8) Not neccessary everyone need to work
Instead of the common case in which both the husband & wife need to work, in the scenerio of multiple wives, the family income can be more & or not neccessary it is required for everyone in the household to work.

9) More Harmony
there will be times couples can have arguements. It such scenerio, there will be more people involved to stop the argument/ quarrel & more people in the maintainning of the peace keep harmony of the family.

10) More personal & praviate time for everyone
Not just for the Man but the woman as well! Everyone will get to have more personal time for themselves each to do what they want or like in a way. Since much things is evenly distributed, the time for them ownself an an individual can also be more in a way too.

11) The Beauty of the Woman can last longer
In many cases, woman spend too much taking care of the house & husband that they age faster & become less beautiful faster as well. In the case, where everything is shared & distributed, they will be less shagged & hagged & tired. Hence this way able to keep their youth lasting longer & more time to maintain their beauty.

12) Possibility of Lower expenditure
Your Wife may not need to buy so much clothes or cosmatics or accessories or jewelaries. SOme of the things can be shared among themselves.

13) Longer lasting Romance & athmospere
Guys tend to have a larger, Broader, Wider, & bigger heart by his nature. Having more wives, the romance & love in the family can also be more lasting & longer than instead of one in which most common cases that we know of, either the lady or the man got bored & tired of each other & everything slowlys starts to died down & become very numb.

There could still be more & perhaps you may want to fill up & add in more points into this list. I would suggest that society should serious consider legalizing polygamy world wide & accepting polygamy in society. Perhaps you may want to read on the links with regards on appecting of polygamy.

Accepting Polygamy

http://www.i4m.com/think/sexuality/polygamy_sex.htm

However again, Polygamy can also have it’s own problems & disadvantages too as well. It is not something all good & without bad. Hence, I would then say that the statment made by confucius who is reknown in history as a sage in which this sage said that ” A Man Must Have His Ultimate Good Reason Of His Own “,Personally, I agree very much with this statement.

A person should never marry more woman with the mindset of gains be it in terms of power, wealth, or/and influences etc……….!
He should not marry due to sexual lusty needs & desires as well so as to satisfy his dick !

A man should also marry more woman just because he is of high status, influencial, powerful, wealthy etc……. & then depriving other man to marry. He should not bully or force or of anysort just because of his status.

It has to be pure, True & sincere in his love & feelings towards the girl & everything happen very naturally in the event of more woman entering. By what i meant of naturally, it refers that he was not cheating or deliberatly fall in love with more woman. It is all by & only natual that love was developed with the other woman, with no one purposely making it happen. He has to sure he also has the means, ability & capacity for more wives as well too before marrying her.

Things that he will need to make sure of will be more, before a new family member enters. Also, it will be but correct that his first wife not only just acknowledges a new family member but that he also seeks the understanding from his wife on this matter & that his first wife is willing the accept this new family member as a form of respect to his first wife.

From my own personal point of opinion, I would urge the acceptance of polygamy. In the first place it is correct ! It is a tradition & culture! It is also a Heritage since history & going down the line of the family ancestry.
It is even further supported by RELIGIONS that it is correct according to religions as well. If the Gods & Deties also approve to it , why is the humans going agaisnt it?  Are the Humans trying to question the heavens & put them to a trail?

On the over scale, it may not neccessary does harm to society or is of any bad thing as well to our world it just might perhaps be instead contributing & benificial ! who knows? It is very hard to say actually.

If the Heavenly gods deem it as correct for Polygamy making it ok for one man with many wives, If by Historical Heritage it is like that & there is nothing wrong of it, If it is our human race tradition & culture with regards to Polygamy, then why resist? Accept it.

In the design of humans, Man are the domineering Gender & woman are the superior Gender. Despite being superior, this superior gender called as woman are to be dominated by the domineering gender which is called as man. Man makes the best superiors & woman make the best assistant/subordinates.

From the articles of the above links, Basically to say, it suggested that there is nothing immorale about Polygamy, but instead in terms of Social society, it is very benificial to society on the overall scale.
Even MM Mr. Lee Kwan You of Singapore also suggests of it as well.

In the society of Singapore, our birth rate are simply too low. The ratio of woman in singapore is more than man. it is an approximation of 7 girls : 3 boys out of every 10. Monogamy does not do the society good in a way.

Due to our society of how it is like, the way we are brought up, Our education system & cruel facts of life, Woman of Singapore tend to be very materialistic, more domineering , very demanding, too realistic, too or over career /money minded & less family orientated. Singapore girls on the general whole are too expensive & tiring or vexing / taxing or maybe even stressful to be as a wife.

In a certain point of aspect, it is more fortunate/lucky to be a woman in singapore than to be a man in singapore. In fact it is also like a trend that in singapore, the demand for foreign / overseas wive by singapore men is on very high demand here. Singaporean man wants & perfer to marry foreign /  overseas girls over singapore girls & that singapore girls like wise perfers marring foreign / overseas man over singapore man. Marriage between locals are gradually becoming less common among the young generations especially.

Perhaps man in singapore are on the general whole very sexually unsatisfied people. At many times they don’t have time or energy for sex due to stress etc.. But however at the same time, they also don have enough sex & that perhaps wives in singapore cannot satify them sexually particularly especially if his wife is a singaporean.

It might be a possibility that singaporean man wants & needs alot of sex hence explainning the going to & of Geylang, Joo Chiat, Keong Siak, Batam, & Thailand.

However, should the suitation improved with polygamy, chances might be likely of a big reduction of man visiting these places & the population & other society problem might just improved because of polygamy.

The Opinion on polygamy is now on you!

My 27th Birthday

I Am 27

 

 No Mood !

My Initial Thought was that my birthday this year will be a disappointing one. Initially I don’t even have the Mood at all the celebrate.
I really don’t know what I should be doing on this year’s March 28 Saturday 2009? Don’t know how to spend it as well.The reasons are simple
  1.  I am Jobless
  2.  I am running low on cash
  3.  Not able to give anyone a treat unlike in all the past years

But perhaps it just seems a lonely & boring birthday will never come true for me, at least for me so far up to present

 1st on the List

The first few people to make my day & who send me assurance that my day is definately remember was 2 girls
They were Pou from Laos & Faye from the Philippines but who is a foreigner there as she is a South Korean-China mixed.

Both of these girls are about of the same age actually.

you can view their profiles at :

http://profiles.friendster.com/devilpou

http://profiles.friendster.com/koreanchines

This two girls are among the earliest ones to send me their greetings & gifts. I really appreciate them alot.
POU of Laos
Pou send to me her greetings to my suprise very early. The most early one in fact.
Pou is my internet friend whom i knew on Thursday, Nov 20th 2008 through friendster. Anyways we almost had a chance to meet as she was in singapore as a tourist with her friends but I missed the opportunity.
The 2 of us are pretty close even up to now. Her blessings & gifts for me send to me during valentine day thing year. I was supposed to received her Valentine’s gift through her friend who is an exchange student residing in NUS on this year’s Feb 14th Saturday! However, I was working part time back then & i met her friend on Monday instead.

 

Korean Chinese Girl, Faye

As to Faye, She is a very Nice girl also. She came alone to the Philippines to study. I knew her also through the internet 1 month later after Pou.

In no time & in fact faster than what i can ever imagine, she also became close to me too!

Both of this 2 girls did know each other as i have introduce them to each other.

Both of them do hope & would like to work forward towards a day in to meet me in Singapore. Hopefully none of us missed the boat this time.

What Faye send to me was a birthday card

Recently she is a bad suitation & things are not too positive for her currently. However, she is doing everything she can to over come it.

 Anyways her cards are among those other cards that i have kept over the years & shown in my showcase as display inside of my room.

Next to Come

The next few people who send their blessings & wishes to me early was another 2 more females. One is my relative & another is my friend from Ngee Ann Poly who is also my classmate & her name is Debbie. They had send to me SMS-es very early in advance. It was very nice & sweet of them to remember.

The Day is Nearer

As the days got nearer, I thought to myself that maybe just let it be a simple gathering & don’t tell anyone anything about it as I wouldn’t want them to spend any money to buy presents since i am not treating. Actually still a bit moody when my birthday was nearing back then.

But anyways, it didn’t seem so that nobody knew anything about the occation. They were aware about it & in fact very aware although i did not mentioned of anything in the organizing of this gathering of the 28th of march 2009, Saturday @ jurong East.

In fact the cat has already been let out of the bag somehow or rather much earier.

Of my Best Friends, 2 Whom was from my Primary school days & 1 from my seconday school days, It isn’t quite possible for them to forget especially for Siangjie aka Jason as my birthday is also the same as his younger brother.

 

The 2 Girls

In fact Faye did wanted to send more things to me for my birthday but i however told her that it was not neccessary. Her card is already enough. She should save on her expenses & get over with the tides that she is facing now. Most importantly, Take Care of herself.

it was the 27th of March Friday 2009. I was chatting with Pou that day. She Remembered that I have told her that all along it was me who is the who is organzing & to celebrate my birthday & that there was no suprise birthday celebration organized for me without my knowledge before. Also, my birthdays all along didn’t really had birthday cake.

on the overall basics, that was indeed how the case really was except for a few times it wasn’t really so at all.

Hence, she tried to plan something to make my day. when the clock strikes 12midnight & it is offically March 28 Saturday 2009, she took out a small cake with a candle & show it to me over the webcam. told me to make a wish & blow the candle.

She even send a short clip of herself singing me a birthday song. After when i am done She & her younger sister together with me blew the candle & they both wished me Happy Birthday over MSN messenger.

Faye didn’t have a webcam but she did also sung to me birthday song in Chinese & English version over the phone before my birthday. She send SMS-s to me daily from before until to all the way till after.

I really don’t know how to thank them ? I really do appreciate it. They had both commited themselves alot for my sake, doing much for me.

I must be a very lucky guy! Hopefully luck will continue to be with me.

 

Unexpected Expected

Although from my organizing I had the confirmed attendence, but however there was also some last miniute changes too! This was anyways something I had already prehand expected. Last miniute unavaliability & lateness.

Too Bad not everyone that i have invited could come. Most of them were not able to make it this year due to work & other reasons.

However there were still some whom however no matter what definately still come & be present. These people indeed have given me much face.

Shaun who is now doing insurance & is currently often busy did purposely make himself avaliable to attend. Siangjie was also another.

The Attendees

The People who Came that day was :

 

  1. SiangJie http://profiles.friendster.com/jasontehsj
  2. Renzheng http://profiles.friendster.com/12011196
    Marie
    Boon Hvee
    Olivia
    Johnaton
    http://profiles.friendster.com/wwjonaww
    Shaun

Friends Are Friends Indeed

Friends are still indeed friends always & forever ! Besides them i also did received Msn birthday wishes & SMS-s from my other friends too !

Some even send me a birthday comment on my friendster or myspace too!

Most of those whoose wishes are very heart warming & enthusiatic were mainly girls espcially from overseas of the Asian continent. Wishes come from as far as up to Mongolia in the very north of Asia as well too!

 Among them was
Mandukhai ( Mongolia) , Kanika ( Cambodia), Nok ( Laos), Rachel ( Malaysia), Mei Yue ( Malaysia) Grace ( Malaysian but in Singapore), Sarah ( Singapore), Xinjian ( Singapore), Kelvin (Singapore), Lar ( Laotian but in Singapore) & many more. some of the wishes was before, some were during & the remainning others was after my birthday.
Sea Monsters
On the day itself finally, there was some cock ups. I was suppose to meet someone at the Omni Theatre & watch the movie of Sea Monsters which is basically a movie of about Sea Dinosaurs

.http://www.omnitheatre.com.sg/

http://www.omnitheatre.com.sg/movies_3.asp

Out of Expected Unexpectations

However She had some relationship problems that day & could not attend. Hence, I went to watch it alone & later meet up with my friends at IMM of jurong east.

In fact there was also another bad news that i had received on the day of my birthday also. One of friend whom i am waiting for the reply on if she will be attending, replied me. The reply was her number but it was her future to be huband who replied me. Basically he informed me that she had died due to heart failure last month Feb only. It is kind of Sad for Ah Mei. She is still so Young & merely came to singapore from malaysia to work here barely less than 3 years. perhaps singapore is too stressful for her.

the next cock up was that there was supposingly another person whom will be attending. Her name is Soolian. However last minute she was not able to attend & i didn’t know what happen until finally i was able to reach her on the phone to learn that she was last miniute being transferred to Jurong point branch instead of IMM to work as for her part time.

The Final was my new camera. I have taken several photos & videos that day. Alot of nice ones. However, on the following day of Sunday when i was transfering the photos from my camera into my pc, I had encounter technical failure which i had never before encounter from a camera before. The photos cannot be viewed or opened. All of them. One Monday when i called up the service centre, I finally learnt that it was because the file has been corrupted !

Here They Come

While on my way to IMM, I met up with Renzheng inside popular bookshop of jurong east interchange. followed was Siangjie that the back door who arrived there to drive me to any destinations. finally came Johnaton & all of us went into IMM

Boon Hvee aka Howard was at this with his girlfriend Olivia inside IMM. I have told them to wait for me at Macdonals as my initial idea was just a simple meal at IMM & we shall all go by dutch.

When we reached there, Howard present his birthday present to me which both he & his girlfriend bought together. Seeing this, Renzheng also took out his present in which he & Maire shared to buy it for me.

The Dinner

Next, Howard was then saying eating at macdonal for a birthday is kind of too miserable abit. Hence he suggested to eat at resturant of my choice & would share to pay for my share.

The final decision was that all of them will give me a treat! now this is indeed special.

We had our dinner at Jade cystal resturtant of IMM. somewhere later, Marie & Shaun joined too.

As Boon Hvee & Olivia were new to Shaun, Jason, Renzheng , & Marie, it was also a time to introduce each other & sharing things in common as well as exchanging of name cards.

We had much fun there. Jokes & laughters & enjoying our food as well as chit chatting.

The Bill was 202 & it was shared. Shaun also took presented his gift to me at the resturant which was $34 dollars. my mother only gave me $10 by the way. Gifts or no gifts it is the thought that counts & everything was being appreciated.

They had all really made my day special as they can.

Earth Hour

In fact there was just this one thing. It was supposed to be Earth Hour that day. The whole world will be shutting off their electricity for at least 1hour if not more on that day. Singapore is also participating. From what i read in the internet, IMM is participating as well too.

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20090328/tap-459-hour-spore-observes-earth-buildi-231650b.html

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/cna/20090326/tap-846-hour-earth-happy-231650b.html

However, all the way till it was time for them to close, we still didn’t expeiece earth hour at all. what a bluff !

In fact my Poly friend, Kelvin was telling me that this year my birthday very special. Whole world celebrating for me as it is earth hour throughout the world.

We were talking about this earth hour & were waiting to experience it, however nothing has happened.

 

Number 28

28 this number does seem significant somehow. Earth Hour this year March 28, & on Feb 28th this year the Merlion statue of singapore at the singapore river was struck by lightning. Feb 28th is also a significant historical lesson for the people of taiwan by the way as it marks their democracy.

Coming Up Next

Anyways after the dinner, Jason suggested that we all go clubbing at Dblo. Not everyone joined. It was in the end just Johnaton, Siangjie & me the 3 of us who went.

Marie & Renzheng suddenly disappear & went to Malaysia together. Boon Hvee & Olivia wasn’t keen to tag along.

Jason drove me back to put the presents away at my house & we switched to taxi mode. After all, If you drink don’t drive. Since he has the intentions of drinking then betten not drive.

all the way throughout until it was time to go home, i basically spend very little. the most was just that 5 dollars that we are sharing for the taxi fees , that 4 dollars at macdonals of Liang court near clark quay & the earlier 9 dollars for the Omnimax movie at Omni theatre.

At Dblo, johnaton sure was very energitic. He was dancing non stop. He never rested & rarely went to toliet. He doesn’t even seem tired to me.

 

What Do Girls Want & What Are They Thinking?

The Girls there were by the way dressed very sexly & revealing. It is a little wonder that there are so many wolves there. By the way many of the girls there were very young.

I did anyways saw a few chicks totally dead drunk ! haiz ! Guys get drunk it is ok, but girls get themselve drunk many things can happen. further more such places are complicated places & much of the customers are complicated people also. it is should be clear enough to know what i am saying by using the word of “complicated “to explain everything.

In fact i am really curious on what these girls of the young generations especially are thinking? Seems like they are not afraid of being looked at but instead only afraid that no one will look at them.

I can understand that as Singapore is a tropical climate & the weather is hot throughout, such clothes are more cooling. at the same time especially in particularly for those girls who really have the figure & the looks, they will by nature all the more want to wear until like that. such clothes can give girls the boost of confidence & bravery & as well as proud of what they have.

All girls want to look pretty & attractive. Especially for those in particular if they are nice looking & sexy but nobody wants to look at them, they feel very demoralized & unnoticed. This is something universal basically.

However, at the same time by wearing so, yes indeed they have caught attentions & eyes cannot be taken off them. But at the same time they are also inviting troubles & attracting all the wolves, flirts, playboys, perverts, lecherous people, molesters, rapist, & Psycho Maniac sick bastards too! This is definately something unadvoidable.

How contrdative it really is ! What are these girls thinking exactly ? What do they want? furthermore at a place like sort, it is impossible that they feel hot!

Getting The Girls

At the place of Dblo, Johnaton wanted to catch the attention of the girls & claimed no matter how hard he tried to have eye contact with them, he failed all the way.

Jason was on the other hand making several attempts to know some girls but also to end up in failure.

Myself , I never had such intentions in the first place. I didn’t even bother to know girls at all.

After dancing for sometime, I felt tired then followingly felt bored & finally felt too lazy to carry on. Hence i find myself once very nice corner of the dance floor & sat down & i began to watch people dancing.

Generally girls no matter how lousy they are, they still dance better than guys. i was also observing how people get to know each other out of strangers? Basically to say success come to the person with the believe that he can ! Girls like guys who are very aggressive but yet at the same time expressive & at the same time Thick skinned as well as being very persistant & determined. This is the type of guy who will eventually defiantely successed in getting the girl.

Getten By the Girls

unless of course if you are talking about girls coming to you on their own instead of you going to get them, it will be under the following few scenerios :

  1.  You are too handsome
  2.  You are very Charismatic & very Charming
  3.  Blame or Thank God ! You are simply too lucky
  4.  You are Fantastic! , centre of attention! Great Moves !
  5.  The girl is drunk
  6.  She is Blur during that moment
  7.  She is desperate or she is Fat/ugly

 

“PLAY”

Basically to say, girls at such places can be played with ! However this word of “PLAY” has several definations & interpretations for & from different individuals. However whichever the definations & interpretation is, It is a defiante thing that most of this girls are for you to play & have fun.

 

Since for the guy they can play, have fun, no need to be serious & don’t need to be commited to anything or be responsible, why not? it just makes sense. Why wouldn’t a guy want a girl who is nice to “PLAY” with?

 

JUST DO IT !

I ever remember during my reservist i ever once asked those NSF(s) on how they get to know girls in such places? Their answer was simply Just Do It ! Don’t Be afraid ! Do as you like ! It is just as simple as this.

 

At the dance floor any girl that you fancy, just go to her & know her. Don’t even need to ask for her name! just drink & dance ! straight to the point ! if no one is around or if she is dancing in her own group, just either enter into the centre of her group or just grab hold of her hand & go with her to one side to dance. Even if the girls form a circle of thier own & dance among themselves also the same. Even if she has a boyfriend also nevemind. Just DO IT !

If her guy come after you or challenge you to a fight don’t be afriad ! Either accept the challenge or further provoke the guy!

That was what they had told me. I am but curious of what girls think of such guys & what you older guys think of this statement of the young punks?

 

Girls with Character?

In fact in the later stage Siangjie was trying to know a girl who they are dancing as a pair. He failed & he told to go try. After a while i don’t even bother to try as i knew it is absolutely impossible !

 

The reason to it is not complicated at all. Many other guys also have tried but none successed. These 2 girls simply want to be alone on their own. they don’t welcome any guy company into their group. they are not imterested in knowing any guys or dance with any guys no matter what! whenever any guys try to come close to them they will after that slowly go away to another location of their own.

Perhaps they have been jerked by their boyfriends or hurt by guys before therefore they don’t want to get involved with any guys. Perhaps they are just too decent & hence don’t want to know guys from such places but anyways serious doubt so as they were both dressed by sexly showing half cup. The way they behave also don’t fit this category as well.

Anyways most of the girls in the place were playing hard to get with the guys there. this is also something obvious enough. They are also choosing too !

As i was sitting down on one dark isolated corner of the dance floor i noticed something together with Jason.

 

Very Intellgent Idot !

Some fellow don’t know how come got such so very intellegent person, placed his drink around this corner as well ? What an idot ! Anyone can do anything to his drink ! there so many people at the dance floor & it is so crowded. further more that corner is so dark, people do what he also don’t know & cannot see. Who know mayb because it is dark, someone accidentaly steps & topple the whole drink & everything is being spilled out onto the floor. Even if that didn’t happen, if someone wants to add anything funny into his drink also like that. he also don’t know.

 

Impossible For Me

By the way I know it is also impossible for a person like me to know any girls from such a place. The reason is very simple. Although i am aggreesive but however i am not expressive & at the same time Thick skinned as well as being very persistant & determined to know any girls.

Further more i obviously cannot do with regards to that JUST DO IT ! statement that the NSF told me how they know girls in such places.

I am a man ruled very much with principles of can & cannot, Dos & Don’ts, Yes & No, Right & Wrongs etc……….

alot of things i am controlling myself very much afraid that i will loose control of myself at times. With too much of all these it is more that just to obvious that it is absolute impossible for me to know any girls from such places as to know that, all of these has to be cast or chucked aside & i am very aware that i am not able to do as that is simply me. Therefore i don’t even bother to know any girls.

On top of that, I also asked myself on why would i want to know any girls from such places? These girls are the “PLAY” type. they are not decent & not serious & not really good girls. Would I rather want to know they Play kind or the nice & decent type? The answer should be more than obvious enough.

 

Pissed Off / Fed Up

In Fact at DBLO, Jason was pretty fed up/ pissed off. He told the DJ to annouce my birthday. He wrote a note & passed it personally to the DJ telling him to announce.

All the way till it was time to leave, the annoucement was not even made at all.

 

Liang Court

Finally it was time to make a move & call it a day. we were all at Liang court macdonals having a quick bite.

This moment, 2 girls in white appeared. one of them was very captivating. She is nice looking & she is so sexyly & revealingly dressed. She is a Chinese girl by the way. The clothes that she wear exposed so much of her 2 breast that it seems like her 2 breasts will pop out / come out anytime out from the clothe that she is wearing.

How to not look?

 

Sleep

finally after everything we all took a night rider bus home & the time i slept it was almost 6am.

 

Lar

Even until on monday i still have presents to collect. I collected it from Lar

What she gave me was a souvenir of Laos together with a hole puncher & a paper weight with memo pad.

Korean War

The Korean War (1950-1953)

 

  Various Names/ Terms of the War

 It is known by various names or terms.
To the North Koreans, they called it the : Fatherland Liberation War (Hangul: 조국해방전쟁; Hanja: 祖國解放戰爭).

To the South Koreans, they called it as : ·25 or 6·25 War (Korean: 6·25 전쟁),  orjeonjaeng (Hangul: 한국전쟁; Hanja: 韓國戰爭, literally “Korean War”).

To the United Nations & Americans they Call it as : Korean Conflict / The Forgotten War or The Unknown War
To The Chinese of China it is : War to Resist America and Aid Korea (), / “Korean War” (朝鮮 戰爭 Chaoxian zhanzheng,[26] 韓國戰爭 Hanguo zhanzheng, or simply 韓戰 Hanzhan).

However it is very commonly known to most people as the Korean War.

How The War Started?

 Each of them depending on which party you are looking on the matter at has their own story to the version of it.Basically to most foreigners (including myself) they will view it as a civil war where which North Korea wants to unify the whole of Korea as one.The North are the Communist & the South is Democracy. Even since WW2 has ended, for a period of time the Americans stationed their troops in Japan.To Most People, They believed the North Koreans started the war but yet there are others whom believed it was the American that was the cause of the war. Stories can go more complicated & become more confusing until much of it is being researched & comprehended. Everyone all has their own stories to tell, basically.

There Can be Many Facts to one Story but there can only be one Truth to the story ! Is this statment difficult to understand for you? I hope it is direct & straight forward enough.

The Japs had been occupying Korea for a long period of time during the war & it was under their claims as their protected state. However after their defeat, the Allies & the Soviets when in to occupy korea.

As a result of the occupation, Korea was divided into 2 regions to have a balance of power & to act as a buffer between the powers of that time. Hence, The north became Communist & the South became democracy. However all of the claims & divisions were being made & approved by the Soviets & Allies of that time without the approval/consent/agreement of the Koreans in the first place.

As a result of such, Civil uprisings, Strikes & Riots resulted! It was from here that when the Allies could not manage the suitation well & thing became worst beyond control, the war broke out!

 

 

 

 

 The Turning Point (1)

 At the very beginning of the war, things were very promising & positive to & on the side of the North! They were at the blink of almost capturing to conquer & fully unite the whole of korea until the UN (United Nations) & the USA step in & intervene to help the South!At the very beginning of this turn, the winning side was on the South & the North was pretty helpless.
The Sides

 On the Side of the 
United Nations of that time comprises of :
  1. Belgium
  2. Canada
  3. Colombia
  4. Denmark
  5. Ethiopia
  6. Greece
  7. Italy
  8. Netherlands
  9. Norway
  10. Australia
  11. France
  12. New Zealand
  13. Luxembourg
  14. Sweden
  15. United Kingdom
  16. Turkey
  17. Thailand
  18. Philippines
  19. India
  20. South Africa 1950
  21. South Korea
  22. United States 
The Communists of that time comprises of :   
 

 

  1. North Korea
  2. Peoples Republic of China
  3. Soviet Union  ( USSR / Russia)

The Tunring Point (2)

However towards the Blink of where the North was almost defeated, the tides has changed again. This is just the beginning only ! The Real War has just only began.
China has been Monitoring the war very closely & would want the north to win definately ! Seeing that things are not running smoothly & with the fear that the next target will be them on the war to exterminate communism in China, they successfully persuaded the Russian to Join forces with this war to help the North.
The appearence of the Chinese were totally unexpected & unpredicted as well as unforseen ! The Chinese were formidiable & full of suprises. The UN & the US were completely caught off guard. As a result of such in the process of retreating, they ended up facing annihilation. They were dying in numbers & that is for sure!

After they had retreated, they did send a spy plane to check how much & many chinese forces are there exactly? however, as the chinese camoflaged themselves so very brilliantly, the figures & statictics that they got was inaccuarate. There was another couple of thousands that they left out & which they did not see them coming !

This ended in more suprise attacks & greater exterminations on the UN, US & the South by the communists than the previous.

In all the Chinese launched 5 campians against the South & their Allies. Most of which achieve magnificent results espcially for the inital few ones.

The Loses on the South & her Allies were pilling up enormously. As to the exact loses on both sides after the war, none could give an exact figure but only estimations. On the overall, it is believed that the South & her Allies suffered greater & bigger casualites & losses than the North & her Allies.

 

 

  The Desperados Attempt

The South at this point was on the loosing end & the suitation is now very disadvantageous towards them. Such was to the point that the USA out of their own believing it that it was a choicless & most desperate suitation as things now seems that they facing the blink of absolute & complete total annihilation, decided to use the atomic bomb ! One of those they had used to forced Japanese surrender previously.
This had the devatated UN alarmed by what the US had done! For that the General of the US was later send away & replaced as it has been deem by most people around the world that they should not have done that! That General that was send away had many questions to answer for he had done which was deem to be wrong by the majority. Some had believes that this Atomic bomb had killed not only just the enemies but their own couterparts as well which is yet to be verified.
This however, did slow things down for the time being from the previosuly very tense suitation.

 

 

 An End?

Finally, it came to the point where by a meeting was held to talk things out peacefully. At the very beginning, neither sides were willing to give in & the Communists were very demanding in their requests.
The Peace talks is said to have lasted for 2 years most of which ended up in failure & in the process of when the talk is going on both sides fought even harder trying to obtain as many territories as possilble first so as gain bigger , stronger & greater advantage in the peace talks with regards to territorial claims.
It was in the end that the Americans threatened to use more Atomic bombs that things finally settled down & they are finally able to come to terms & conditions.

The War is finally over ending up in a ceasefire & the allies of the south withdrew from the war & korea.

However till today, there are still many issues going on between the north & the south & people are saying that the war did not end. It is still going on even until today. Korea isn’t united & unify yet !

 

 

  

What’s Your Conclusion ?

Well, I don’t know of your conclusion to your own opinion & views to this matter. However, personally to my own, this is how I would view it as.
Basically, without the help of the Chinese, The North cannot win. All parties did what it is to their own benificial interests best ! The Thought of Going into China after the North is defeated did came across to their mind but they had decided not to do so as they the conquences & the aftermath not knowing if it will be worth it should they did so.
If they had did so, then they would not be able to hold & held claims firmly that they are fighting a war against communism to liberate nations into democratic countries. They will be instead deemed as fighting a war on communism to exterminated comminist & they fear it is not worthwhile doing so.

The South & the Whole of Korea could have been already united & unify back then if not for the UN & US intervention. However, to the point that the South can still exist today & is doing pretty well, they have the UN & the Americans to thank for.

Chinese basically like to make friends & that is the way their pratices all along since the past. They are not the aggressors to conquer the nations of others. Generally Relationship with Korea has been good Since History & they are nice friends. There was only one point of time in which the Sui dynasty Emperor Yang Guan foolishly set himself all out to conquer Korea. Either tham that period of time, others is still fine.

Japanese, Mongols, Koreans & many other nations & races, all of them have yellow skin. To the eyes & perception of the white man, they all look the same, cannot tell difference also. At times they also don’t know who is who? After all actually, all Yellow skin people are Chinese during their ancestors days.

Actually the American is such a looser ! They cannot defeat people but refuse to surrender & declear it a draw ! No matter what must still win. To have lost to some yellow skin people is something very shameful & embarasing to the White man especially in particulaly the Americans & further more to lose to China is an absolute lost of face to them.

Hence, Ceasefire & withdrawal is a very face saving solution to resolve the matter that it is not that cannot win & that they have lost ! It is just that they have chose to ceasefire & withdrew from the war & the country!

It also just shows how much so strong the enemies were, how tense the suitation & how much desperate to the blink of the UN & US & the South being wipe out that they have to so called declear it a No better Option & choice suitation but to use the Atomic Bomb !

If not for the Atomic Bomb, the war might have been over & they might have already lost the war.

So actually to say, either than the usuage of superweapons to win the war, they don’t have any better means to win. It can also be said that they ain’t as great & mighty as they seemed to be afterall.

Basically to say, it can be decleared that the UN , the American & the South lost ! As to this issue of who has won, it is a very subjective & debative topic/issue with many answers & conclusions from different individuals.

Unification has in fact taken place in many events throughtout history, regardless which continent , nation, race or era.

 

Most of these so called great men who were all out set to unify the country were mostly conquerors. Their means of unification was through the means of conquest for most.

In our human race history, there are too many conquest by too many conquerors. The world is too big for one single man or nation to rule! However, a fact that never changed was that almost all conquerors in history had always thought to themselves that they could make a difference!

They believe that they could achieve what other previous & future to be dominatiors or conquerors could not! They were all out to conquer as much land as they could & want to rule this world! Most eventually ended up over stretching themselves.

When there is a rise, there will be eventually a fall. There are not risen which had never fallen in history! All will still fall eventually.

It is something the english saying : whatever that goes up must come down!

 

The chinese would say it as : 人生有起有落

 

( in life there are ups & downs)

Why Unify?If you were to take a look at the map of the empires during those days,you will relised that much land has been united as one.

However it is pity that it became into too many countries after the collapse.

look across the world, there so many countries with so many different types of people, of so many languages & so on.

Most of these people who all out set to unify & conquer would first have to believed that theirs’ is the best & is superior over all others & that others should follow to be the same as them.

they will want to go out to make them all become as one instead of so many variations across.

These people believe that it will be alot better when more lands, people, languages etc… are bond & united together as one! which will be their nation, their languages etc…

They believe that they & their decendents can rule over them.

Unification Mindset

 

Their kind of mindset is that they wanted more land & resources to be theirs. they want their nation to be big & strong! they want to show that they are the best & want to leave a name behind in history!

They believe they these other lands, people etc… should be subjected under them & being under them is the best thing for them! They want to extend their influences to these people, land & etc….

If the world is all of lesser nations, lesser languages etc…….. & these countries have bigger lands each, it will be a better place to be in. This is most likely their visualization!

It is most likely the case that these people are wondering & could not understand why should the world have so many of everything? why can’t they bring them all to be under as theirs, untiing them as one?

However the world & it’s differences & variations are simply too many & it very much impossible to unite too many as one. there is a reason for everything in this world.

perhaps that is the way how the world should be like, maybe?

However when given the chance to expand your borders & territories, who wouldn’t?

It just goes to show that the world & the people living in this world since the ancient days till now are not as peace loving & making after all !

We Need Unification However

 

However again, the world also cannot be without all these people who all out set to unify lands.

If the first emperor of China, Qin Shihuang (Qin Yingzheng) had not unified China, how many China will there be today? there will be many!

If the Oda Clan under Lord Nobunaga Oda did not unified Japan, Japan would long been colonized & badly divided today instead of being one single nation know as Japan!

If the Great Khah of Mongolia which is Genghis Khan (Temujin) did not unify Mongolia, today Mongolia is not even at all a country!

There are many more examples but the above already goes to show the importance of these people who had unified lands in history!

It shows that in this world & at certain eras, we need people like them to exists.

Although So, However

 

However, much of these people who unified the nation don’t really show much love. Much of the people under the lands they have unifed suffered alot & was not well treated.

They were not well loved by this new nation, & they also could not accept themselves to be part of this new nation.

It takes alot more that just mere conquest to have people, languages, lands & everythings unified as one.

It is on how you governed the land & the people. Another factor to it is also education & long period of time under your rule.

Most importantly, this new nation’s government must have much love, benevolence, magnimity & torlerence over the people.

When enough is enough, enough is simply enough! Do not take more that what you can absorb & digest or handle!

this is a very common mistake for most rulers!

The failure of the Mongolian empire is government ! they could not governned the lands & the people well & that they have failed to have the support & love of the people to them.

They had taken too much lands or more than what they can handle, managed, digest & absorbed.

What would be your idea or opinion of Unification????

For Singapore to have what it is of today, there are many factors to be thankful of.
1) Our geographical location as the midpoint/centre point between the east & west.
2) Our geographical location, which makes us free from all forms of natural disasters. Natural disasters will never ever hit Singapore for sure!
3) We are well blessed with nice, friendly, hardworking & resourceful people who populate this island nation.
4) Our early founders as well as SIR Thomas Stamford Raffles
5) Our past colonial British Masters who has done much to develop our nation
6) Our Mentor Minister Mr. Lee Kwan Yew whom has very big contributions & efforts into turning what Singapore of today is.
7) Immigrants & foreigners who came here & helped a lot to make what Singapore of today is. 8) Lastly a ruling government who is too strong & powerful! They had very good vision & foresight for & of Singapore. Which is something that cannot be “compared!”

Singapore is a Paradise for Foreigners
Anyways these are all the contributing factors & that the past is not equal to the future. But however the present is because of the past! So moral of the story never forget your origins! As to what the future of Singapore will be it will be on the hands of the future generations of our current decedents.

Singapore is truly very well blessed in too many ways & they’re many good things about Singapore in which it attracts many tourist to Singapore. Many nice things has been heard about Singapore to people from nations far away.

To the mindset of several foreigners, Singapore is a land with mountains of gold mine. It is a very nice place to come here to dig gold. Singapore is truly paradise on earth to the eyes of the foreigners. They got what they came here for & more. They got more than what they wanted & what their own country cannot provide for them. As a result Singapore has become the dreamland to be in for several foreigners.

Uniquely Singapore
What would be some of the things very uniquely Singaporeans?
1) Kaisu (afraid to lose! Everything must be number 1)
2) Kiasee (afraid of getting into troubles, scared of dying)
3) Kia Cheng Hu (super scared of the government!)
4) Like to Complain very much
5) Extremely Afraid of being complained

The above is a very Singaporean culture of which some can be said to be a good thing of Singapore as well as the bad thing.

Revolution of the 21st century
We are in fact in some process of an evolution or perhaps revolution of something in this 21st century. Of course this is not a statement make by me but instead it what I ever heard of before from other people.

As to what sort of revolution it is turning to become we don’t know yet!

However, the way in which warfare & crime is transforming be it fighting & catching them or busting them has also changed with time, generations, society & technologies.

Singapore’s Envisions
Our Singapore ministers has ever made a statement a very long time ago that it was in their envisions that crimes of the future will be committed through the internet instead! Busting of crimes will no longer be like how it used to be traditionally & the conventional way.

Basic Internet Crimes
There are many ways to have crimes committed on or through the Internet. Several things over the Internet can be considered as a crime also.

Some of the common things would be like :
1) Downloading of music, videos, photos or software without copyrights
2) Mass sending of files without permission ( Edison Chen”s Case)
3) Hacking into the system of others & many more others

Warfare of the future might really be very similar to games we play on the computers & video games. It might just turned out to be computer warfare in the future in which people fight wars by using computers & pressing of the buttons on the computers.

Similarly, criminals who want to commit crimes in the future might also be doing the same. Con man may not be the very typical traditional version where you will get to see him physically face to face & cheat you upfront! It could be done over the internet as well too !

Con Man
Not just con man, con companies can also be the same where transactions are being conned by some con companies who exists only inside the internet but does not really exist physically! Companies of the future may not need to have a physical office location. They can just exist over the internet virtually & operate through there.

Bank transactions over the Internet, E-businesses & E-commerce etc.. could have been hacked & viruses being send. Information can be stolen, files can be destroyed, cash can be stolen & many more can be done over the Internet!

To track them down will not be easy as compared to the typical traditional & conventional way. To get away Scott free could be easy also as to these people will have a way to destroy evidence the technological way.

Computer Graphics
Especially with computer graphics, things can just get a lot more complicated. The power of computer graphics is something very powerful & can do great wonders, which can be so life like making difficult to tell the difference between real & fake.

Examples of such could be like that someone using computer graphics technologies could have a lady or girl anyone of them or a public figure to have copy & paste onto elsewhere.

Perhaps this person with some computing editing can have this woman naked & pastes this edited picture with another person like perhaps some wanted internationally wanted!

Then make the picture look like as if the 2 of them are making love or something like that.

Next this person simply speculates this edited picture & mass send it all over the Internet.

Impact
1st thing the innocent lady will be affected as everyone will be thinking that she was really the person as the see in the photo. Pervert people will start to admire the photo & all sorts of funny things.

Organisations such as the FBI, CIA etc…. seeing this photo will hunt down the lady, catch her for interrogations to question out for information on whether if she is in any case related to this internationally wanted person.

Whatever the motive is behind this person who did this editing, one thing for sure this person behind everything has caused much damaged & hurt this innocent lady much.

This can be one of the many scenarios of crimes committed through the Internet using computer graphics technologies.

Blogs & Forums
At the same time the power & influence of the internet is also very big especially in the forums & blogs whereby many people can get to read of many things & becoming aware of many things.

Blogs and forums are also very powerful tools of weapons. They can do much brain washing or feeding of wrong information, propagandas, as well as influences over people in which some can lead to fatal consequences.

Of course at the same time, Blogs & forums are channels for people to express themselves freely, create awareness for others to know & for other people to gain some new knowledge as well as to understand the thoughts & feelings of other people over certain issues.

There is nothing wrong in such channel & such channel is nothing evil or against the law! However, it is how this channel is being used that could result is something good or bad.

In fact, channels such as blogging & forums should be more greatly encouraged for people to express themselves freely & openly however again, be very careful of how you express yourselves.

The ancient Chinese has an old saying which says : You can anyhow eat but not anyhow talk!

Perhaps this is best explanation for why bloggers can end up arrested!

I am sure there are times that you will hear of bloggers being arrested for blog postings that they have made.

Singapore is Strict
As from what you can see, crimes can be very easily committed over the Internet!

Our Singapore government is very strict on everything. The press & the media is controlled by the Singapore government. With this coming in of the Internet & that the Internet is something owe by nobody & controlled by no one, this hence becomes something difficult.
However, this is not the reason to stop our government & police to do some crime busting & controlling over the Internet!

Loan Sharks / Ah Long
Spamming, circulating or speculations of porn over the Internet illegally can also be another version of cyber/Internet crimes.

But again this above statement is rather difficult to very distinctively distinguish it very clearly & to define it.

There are too many things hard to define when talking about cyber/Internet crimes. This is where many people play around on the grey & undefined areas.

Perhaps in the future years to come loan sharks or what is typically called as Ah Long here in Malaysia & Singapore will also operate it the Internet ways, who knows?

In fact I was curious & was wondering if there are website exactly by this name & to my surprise there really is !
http://www.loanshark.com/
http://www.ahlong.com/

Ah Long of Singapore
Very typically here in Singapore, things that they will do is that they will spray or splash paints on your walls of your corridors & neighbourhood. They will also scriber words that you owe them money letting others know who you are by writing out your name, your house address & stating that you owe them money never pay!
Sometimes they may also write words of vulgarities at you also together with it at the same time.

On top of that, they will hang a pig’s head on your door too! Everyday they will come make a lot of noise as they come banging & knocking at your door & do all the scolding, yelling & shouting at you at your doorstep. You & your neighbour as well as your family member will receive harassments from them frequently.

Should they then spot you outside of your house they would run over to catch you & give you a very good bashing up.

You will also receive phone calls from them very frequently as they come to press & chase after you to pay them back the money.

You will receive all sorts of threats from them. Some if you are lucky are just mere empty threats but that won’t be always the case all the time or every time.

This is more or less how this loan sharks or what we called as Ah Long operate over here very typically in such traditional way.

New Way?
But perhaps years to come later who just knows? Maybe they will also start to operate it the Internet way also?

Perhaps by force they video you down in nude or perhaps video you down when you off your guard outside somewhere & you end up being video down in your natural actions.

As to their means of threat or blackmailing, maybe they will first threaten to send out your nude photo over the Internet.

If you don pay, they will spam it over the Internet first email then follow by websites subsequently if you still do not pay.
Should you still don’t pay up, they will have that nude video of you printed out as pictures in the form of flyers & deliver it into all the letter boxes in your neighbourhood & if you still don’t up, they will have your nude posters pasted in many crowded places.

Then perhaps next when they still don’t receive any payments from you, perhaps this time they will burn out your nude video & sell them in the market!

Perhaps I should guess that by then, they might not need to pester you for payments any longer.

Well, perhaps my above scenario might have been a little too absurd or exaggerating somehow. But I should guess that Ah Long doing their loan sharks operations by the means of Internet is definitely still possible just that perhaps it is not like what I described but instead a way of version.

Hopefully Better Tomorrow
It will be for the future to tell for many things! Our current present is based on our past but our future will be base on our current present. Hopefully the world of tomorrow will be a better place to live in & not the otherwise.

Hopefully also where cyber/Internet crimes is of concern the world of the future has tighter measures on it & is able to control in well as the threat of cyber/Internet crime is a lot more dangerous & unthinkable!

MY NEW YEAR 2009

Happy New Year 2009

 

Lousy Year of 2008

As I experienced through a very lousy year of 2008, I am placing a lot of hopes onto the year 2009 hoping that it would it a good year for me.

 

I have been very & most unlucky in the previous year of 2008. Many things all went wrong. I was probably at my worst of my current 26 years of my lifespan. Throughout my 26 years of lifespan no matter what worst I ever encounter before in the past it was never like this time in the year of 2008. I am definitely at throughout my 26 years of lifespan so far, at my worst as there has not been anything more worst than this time.

 

A Human Lifespan

The lifespan of a human is very strange. It is very similar to the stock market. In life there are always ups & downs. When a person arrives to a certain point of up, it will have to comedown. After all, whatever that goes up must always come down, but whatever that goes down will definitely shoot up!

 

That is why there is an English saying, which says:  always save some for rainy days.

 

A person won’t be at his/her down forever & neither will he/she be at his/her up forever non-stop. When the time comes to go up there will be a up & when the time comes for the down there will be the down.

 

My 2008 Year

In the year of 2008 my career was most not smooth. Too many things happen all at the wrong time that affected my job very badly & I end up out of job. As to finance wise it was even worst for me. My finance has never been so terribly depleting like this year. It is an absolute negative finance situation as I ended up needing to borrow money to keep myself alive financially.

 

You can refresh it as on the below links on my 2008

http://saikitshijie.blog.friendster.com/2008/10/unlucky-year-2008-for-me/

http://saikitshijie.blog.friendster.com/2008/08/a-dogs-life-of-myself/

 

Bad Year of 2008

Good that now 2008 is over! I should believe it is not just me, alone that 2008 has been a bad year. Many bad things also have happened in this year of 2008 (Year of the rat). The bad things in year 2008 are too many in fact. 

 

To randomly name some of bad things out of the many that has happened in this year of the rat 2008 they are:

1)       Tibet revolt in China

2)       Xinjiang Revolt in China

3)       China Milk Products Melamine

4)       Hong Kong Bird Flu

5)       Global Economic Crisis by USA

6)       Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy

7)       AIG financial downturn

8)        The Killing in IRAN (war)

9)       Mas Salamat Prison Breakout escape from Singapore

10)    Terrorist attack in India’s Mumbai

 

This year as I don’t have much money or mood to go into town area for countdown, I instead went into my own hometown for the countdown.
