It was a disaster.
Only booked in to camp on Wednesday because I was clearing my leave for this year. We went to this nursing home opposite Sembawang Plaze on Thursday for my company's community involvment programme. Not that we need to clock those CIP hours, we are just lending a helping hand to those unfortunate elderly. The company outing we had on Friday. It was an utterly waste of both time and human resources. It was bad, and I will not elaborate farther. I hope that this is the first and the last time such disappointing event happening.
The papers today reported about an increasing number of new local unknown authors going to the extent of forking out money to get their books published. It is in the Straits Times, so I'll not go in depth because if you are really interested, go read the papers. It is more comprehensive. All I can say is that, risks are always involved, no matter what tasks you undertake. The stroke of luck that you need to make it big sometimes, may not always be present. So, I'll advise all of you, before you commit to anything, think through it carefully first ok? :P
The other issue that is hovering in town these days is AIDS. I'm sure that all you readers out there know that it is an incurable disease, thereby causing such a stir. Especially when the known cases of HIV-Positive carriers are on the rise. The actual figure is of course much higher than the official figure. Some people are still ignorant of the fact that they are carrying the deadly virus. The truth usually dawn upon them when they are down with the AIDS related illnesses. The main cause for this increasing is mainly thru unprotected homosexual and casual sex intercourse.
The Singaporean society is still a very conservative one. As compared to the Western Nations, the local society is still unable to accept homosexuality. Homosexuality is outlawed in Singapore. Why go against the natural way of life? Casual sex has been around ever since the dawn of prostitution. It is something that we cannot rid of, such as the existence of cockroach. The roots are long and deep. The only thing we can do now is probably try getting a clear message across to our fellow Singaporeans the serious repercussions that these 'leisure' activities have.
On a lighter note though, President Bush suffered a setback as his Patriot Act, designed to give law enforcers greater power since Sept 11 2001, has been denounced by the Senate of US. Good news to all the fans of the Democrats! Politics are such complicated matters. Governing the world is no easy job I must say. Especially if you are the so-called Most Powerful Man on Earth, it takes a great deal out of anybody to do the job well. Even the United Nations is not perfect. Nothing is perfect in this world. Flaws bring out the better of others that we will otherwise fail to notice.
I think this blog is too lengthy? Will try to improve.
