In everyday life; what do you want to see and not want to see?

This may sound silly; but it always make my day when I see children playing with their real toys instead of holding on to an electronic device. 

I hope that children today still has a childhood, sincerely. 

Have you witnessed a car accident before?
It was not my first; bit what came after was horrendous.

No, there was no one injured. Yet, how they shouted at each other and pushing blames, swearing at each other was just the worst scene ever.

Fire shoo; stay away from NUS!

As quoted from Rahman, this is what happened in NUS Engine LT today!
Today's lecture was on thermodynamics/heat. When the lecturer pressed something and next smoke came out, he said,"This is not part of the demonstration."


 Oh my, that's just bad. Twice in a year; fire incident I meant.
Lady luck please watch over NUS, she hasn't been on any good luck recently.
From fire incident in Engine Block a month or two ago, to the Law student who didn't think before acting or saying anything, to monkeys crawling into our school; and now, back to fire incident.

I so hope this isn't a vicious cycle! That will just be really bad.
And yes, I agree that those busy taking pictures and videos are just disgraceful.
Did nothing; or probably there's only so much they could do. :(

Oh well.

Bless NUS!

Knowledge is Universal :)

I was having English lesson today and it was drizzling outside. I was practically shivering even though i had my jacket on. It was 8 a.m. in the morning, dozing off in class for that really dry class ..

Then Ms Chung shared this really inspiring thing about Education and i thought it would be really nice to share with you dear readers.

 IF YOU WANNA COMPETE YOU AREN'T THE PEOPLE WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE. University is a shared leaning not competition. 

That there is something really wrong with the practices here, where parents instil that mentality in children since young that if you fail you are useless.
 Shame is always attached with failure. That if you were to retain you are just a failure.
Ms Chung then shared with us that she felt really okay if her children cannot promote.

Staying back doesn't mean it's shameful it just means you are not ready. 

So true!

Being open and appreciative of the wisdom of other human beings is one of the best ways to gain understanding of the world. Not only that but being open minded is one of the best things you can do as a person, as it will help you learn more and progress faster in all areas of life.  

Maybe it is really time for us to adopt a new mentality. I'll start with myself. I'll try my best! I'll share my notes and feel comfortable with it instead of being paranoid that I will lose out - that's really a loser mentality. Maybe the other party might spot my mistakes and correct me. In a way ＂我赚到哦！＂

Remember, Knowledge is Universal! :D

A "social Work" day

"Perhaps the greatest Social Service that can be rendered to anybody by the country and the mankind is to bring up a family."

Had a social work day - went to different organisations and interacted with the social workers there. Much disappointment though, I didnt have the chance to play with the kids at all!
The first place I went to is at Children's Home, there's no more orphanages in Singapore by the way. Albeit there's orphans in these Homes definitely!

The kids there are beautiful, but mostly suffered from hearing impaired.

It's such a rare opportunity to do such visitings; really as cliche as it may be, we should really treasure our lives and stop whining because we are so so much more fortunate.
Love life, live it to the fullest!

And top of that, as you can see there's a mosque near to the church. Such an amazing sight, well I guess  we dont see this in many other parts of the world. Different religions, different cultures all living in harmony!

There's a mini LKY giving a twist; adorable isnt it!
An artist was collecting Singaporeans' signature and compelling it for Sir's birthday present.
I was lucky enough to get into the queue and write a message for my idol and most respectable MM Lee.

I just stumble across this website from Lawrence Wong and it strikes me.
It's worth a read;

I guess we Singaporeans just need reminders like this.
Our generation have not went through any major hardships, have not witness anything like a war. Though it will be too harsh to say that we need to go through all these before we learn to appreciate whatever people out there are dying to long for all these, I cant deny the fact that we are too pampered.
At least most of us are.

Hopefully, soon I hope, all the stereotypes and labels being put on us Singaporeans will go away. Let us prove that we are much more educated, much more appreciative and deserve all the good things.

Apology VS Ego

Apology doesn't mean that you were wrong, or the other party was right.
It just means that your relationship is more valuable than your ego.

Dear readers,
How many times we allowed a relationship to be ruined in our hands because we couldn't utter the three words I am sorry?
We gave ourselves a myriad of excuses like maybe I would make things worst if I were to approach the other party, or I cannot give in all the time otherwise I would be lowering myself to the point that the other party will take me for granted, or worst still, finding fault in the other party.
Have you actually think how shallow you were?
How BIG your ego was and you allowed such a beautiful relationship just slipped because it was a fact that you could not swallow your pride.

Of course I have make mistakes like this, ample times in fact.
I need a reminder like this one.
Just saying, I know how tough it can be at times.
