Finally or gradually..

This is probably going to be one of the most controversial of my threads! Don worry, is not political neither is it sexist! I do not like the idea of being pursued by ISA and also it is not advisable to put myself in such a position! Technically, I m pretty pro government and I will probably get hate mails for saying this! Don say I m uneducated and totally hynoptised by the spell of ruling party. I have received education from institutions of the highest calibre and I have also drank "Ang moh" water and done a module in International Law! I don see I have been disadvantaged but rather glad that I have been given the opportunity and the freedom to choose. I have been rather puzzled of those negative comments on the local government. Are we in war? Are we not allowed to leave the country? Are we having bad sanitary facilities or pay a bomb to use public toilets? Are we restricted to access the internet? Are we have to worry constantly about being robbed and murdered? Are we......? The list is long. Do not know what I mean, try living overseas for some time or simply travel beyond Singapore! And about not being able to speak up? This depends on how vocal u are and now you have the chance to do that without applying for a license at Sim Lim Park! If is for other issues, please apply to migrate!

Wrote the above in a moment of tots a few days ago! I actually wanted to blog about this person that I like but who probably tot I m not worth the effort. However at tis time, I think perhaps is not so important after all. Anyway to quote from Ikeda Sensei's "The course of our lives is determined by how we react-what we decide and what we do-at the darkest of times. The nature of that response determines a person's true worth and greatness. " Guess is only at the most crucial of times, u will know who are the people that really support and stand behind u! The darkest of time is also when u discover what type of person u are! I hope I m a fairweather as well as stormy weather friend!

"Hope transforms pessimism into optimism. Hope is invincible. Hope changes everything. It changes winter into summer, darkness into dawn, descent into ascent, barrenness into creativity, agony into joy. Hope is the sun. It is light. It is passion. It is the fundamental force for life's blossoming."

- Words of Wisdom by Daisaku Ikeda

The change in the US presidency really brings hope to people all over the world. Suddenly we dare to dream and "yes, we can" accomplish if we set out to do what we believe in!
