What kind of Singapore does Singaporeans want? Is this the kind of Singapore that we Singaporeans want? Sure, we can always buy the tissue paper or give the empty cans to the old ah gongs and ah mahs. We can drop some money for some of them whenever we pass them by.

But, for how long? Being old and destitute does not mean that they do not have dignity. Why do some of our elderly have to be treated like this? It really pains me to see this video, but it is a fact that all Singaporeans cannot deny-- that there are such under-privileged individuals living amongst us. 




We need change. Now. Not in the future but now. Do not live in denial anymore...

Taxi Driver Uncle, RIP...

I've seen the actual footage. It wasn't your fault, you did no wrong. We all know who the culprit is though he has the easy way out.

May your soul find peace in heaven...

What Happened to My Home?

Dear God(if there is one), please, please give the good old Singapore back to me. We don't have to be a developed nation, we don't have to be number one(or try to be) in everything.

I'm missing those days where most locals were friendly, crime rates were low, there were lesser foreign workers, there were no breakdowns in the train systems, innocent lives were not claimed so foolishly or thoughtlessly, there were no casinos. School kids were happier even though they dreaded homework, the trains and buses were not overly crowded, food was cheaper and affordable even though people did not earn much. I was patriotic then. Because the Singapore back then was the one I could easily relate myself with. I did not see many vagabonds or old grannies or old grandpas picking up aluminum cans and card boards back then.

Now, it's a common sight.

How many families or elderly people are queuing up for food rations every month during the MPS? I don't know. This is strange. We are supposed to be a first world country, no? But we are fast becoming third world citizens, with the very poor and destitute having without an ounce of dignity living in this land they call HOME.

No. This is not home. Not anymore. I pity my DD in a way, for she will never be able to experience the Singapore I had experienced in my days.

I am now ready to leave anytime I strike lottery. I will leave this god-forsaken place. The pasture might not be greener on the other side, but it will definitely be more palatable and digestible.

Privilege of A Woman

I think that all woman should have a child at least once in her life. It's so fulfilling. That happiness is absolutely priceless. But so is the frustrations. Ya, I'm enjoying it alright. Whether I'm hollering at DD, screaming on top of my voice, or just hugging and kissing her and holding on to her little hands, I'm a happy mother. :)

I'm Back...

And I have so may things to say I don't know where to start. I have been really busy with my little gal(liar). There are just too many things I wanted to update and share but I will leave it to another time when I am prepared. For now, I'm just gonna mop the floors...
