Why do people love Jesus:

he was a generous god, who so loved his people, that he gave himself up for the people he loved.

Having the guts to run for election, at the risk of losing your money, at the risk of getting sued, at risk of getting every single skeleton in your cupboard dug out and exposed, and having zero reputation at the end of it especially when the media starts smearing your name and calling you crazy.

Its like giving up your life and your whole future for the country, and the people you love.

Its not easy. Its hard work. Its worth admiring.

Why do people love Jesus:

he was a generous god, who so loved his people, that he gave himself up for the people he loved. He was never arrogant or haughty, but humble and earthly. He was wise, he was kind, he was forgiving. He made effort to love each and every single living thing.

Why do people love the queen:

She was a benevolent queen, she took her time to get to know her people, was willing to go down to the ground, to do her part to help them, to address their needs, cares and concerns. She empathized with them, was caring, and showed concern.

Why do people love the men in white:

well...

I dont see these

Benelovence

Caring

Kind

patient

forgiving

understanding

supportive

But i see these

Uncaring

Complacent

Unsupportive

Indifferent (lets not rock the boat)

would they die for Singapore? I highly doubt so. However, these opposition are really brave. They are willing to go against MM lee, risk getting bankrupt, risk losing all of their money, their name, their status, everything, just for singapore's future. Even when they know that the controlled press will give them nothing but bad publicity, and be labeled as psychos, delusional, derange, and incompetent.

It's like giving up their life for Singapore.

You might say that they disappear after every election. However i agree with this girl. she says it's not that they disappeared, its that they have no avenues to contribute to their contested grc after losing the election.

Having the courage to stand there. I salute you.

4) Power breeds fear and paranoia

In the beginning, you used power in order to stabilise the political situation so that you can give the masses homes, food, clean water and their livelihoods. That seemed a justifiable use of power even though it involved some ruthless and ugly tactics. But over the years, you started to crave power for itself. Again, you forgot the story of Macbeth (see, I told you the humanities are important!!) - where an originally good leader was so obsessed with his new power that he saw everything as a threat towards it. He became so paranoid that he even killed his best friend whom he thought was after his throne. He only heard what he wanted to hear from dubious soothsayers (which turned out to be half-truths). Needless to say, Macbeth eventually had a tragic end. Like Macbeth, you've become so obsessed with winning overwhelmingly in every GE that you use every weapon you have, every trick up your sleeves to clobber the opposition to smithereens. Smear campaigns, legal suits, changing electoral boundaries, raising the cost of candidature, forming GRCs, threatening the electorate with upgrading...it's like watching the Brazilian football team beat the Singapore team by 82-2, except in football the rules are fairer and the referee neutral. Why do you need to resort to such gangster-like ways? You could have won overwhelmingly anyway with all the talent you have! I'm not sure how long this bullying strategy can go on but sooner or later you'll become the thug that the electorate can't wait to get rid of.

Ok, even if all our Ministers and PM are worth every cent of their $4m annual salary, it also means that they have to perform much much much better than any other government in the world. Again, you have set the standards and expectations so high, you only have yourselves to blame when you cannot meet those expectations from the ground. And the more you fail to meet their expectations, the more the electorate will think you're not worth your astronomical salaries. It's a vicious cycle that you've started and it's going to be very hard to stop now. <-- also completely agree!

damn.. its true.. damn.. why cant i vote this year!!!! :(

money

today I realized that to the person who lost things, dropping items on the floor is like dropping money..

just that to the lucky recipient, the item might not be as useful or multifunctional as money...

what i really dont understand

is how some of the worst, most biggoted, horrible, selfish, people

can be christians

and yet instead of listening to the bible to bring them to their supposed greater heights

they use it as a shield, to hide behind, to make right their crimes

you disgust me

good day!

I had a good day out with a good friend today!

Im excited about X years!! :D good luck!! I hope it comes true!!!

it was fun, and we ate at a really bad burger place!! Alert!! everyone, please AVOID the HANDBURGER shop! its pretty bad! ;(

(at least the one at raffles place shopping center is)

we also went to sakura fest
, and while some of the ciao ayers were good, the rest scared me pretty badly. I totally understand what Shunfa means by how some are good, while the rest, u wonder what they are doing there..

I also learnt much!!

I learnt how to handle interview questions, and how i should always substantiate my points with examples or reasons..

I also learnt a very important point of view.

Even though you committed no sin towards me, i still felt offended and disappointed coz i value you as a true friend.

I have to admit to myself, that you made a mistake, and i still have to forgive you for what you have done.

I hope that you will learn from it, understand where you went wrong and become a better person as a result!

Although I really cannot stand people like that, and I used to swear to myself that I wont be friends with that kind of person.... its like...

its not about coming to terms with it, its about accepting you for what you have done!

coz thats what are friends for! T_T

ivh got a free 3 day trial for fitness first! and i noticed on the website, that there's free 3 day trials for anybody who wants!!

who wants to go w me? :D

sigh..

recently im just so sick and tired of people who judge me based on who i appear to be..

im so sick and tired of them having an image of me..

and they think that they can understand me, and that im transparent, and that they know exactly what im thinking, when i actually am not at all..

especially because i behave how i behave, because im just making life easier for everyone..

I intentionally wear all of these expressions, and these emotions on my face, so that its not a constant guessing game.. You won't have to be stressed and worried around me, constantly on your toes, and afraid of when im going to have my next mood swing, and flare up at that next person.. With all of these expressions, its more fun, and exciting, coz the expressions are funny, and i dont have to verbalise everything, you can just read it on my face. And its easier to make friends too. Especially since laughing breaks the ice, and the easiest way to make another person laugh, is to make a fool of yourself.

When in the past, i used to be expressionless, and emotionless me..

Maybe im just trying too hard to make life more carefree, more fun and exciting, more entertaining, for the people around me, that i neglect who i really am inside.

That people around me dont really understand it. The real me.

I just so sick of being shot at everyday, when the image that they are shooting at is just a facade for fun. Im so sick of having to defend myself.

But if i go back to being me, life would be so boring.

Back to being little miss goody goody two shoes, who is never wrong, never says anything out of place, is always serious, scolds people for being rude, selfish, unkind, unfair, and always felt years old beyond her age, while everyone else seemed so childish around her.

I think it all changed, when my mum told me "if you are so mean to your friends, you aren't going to have any friends left" when i told off yet another friend on the phone who was constantly being selfish and harassing me. (ok she stayed my friend, but heck i was still irritated)

I tried to change, but maybe i tried too hard. I became too nice.

was it worth it?

should i go back? unwrite the written?

Which one of you can honestly say that you know the real me?

i bought a new dress for myself in a shade of sea green that loved...

it was 29.90, i got it at a discount already...

but why!!! why!! i have to wake up this morning and see my favourite blogshop send me mailer saying that they have new stocks, and i see the dress i love, in blue, going for 23 dollars!!! :(

WHYYY~~

today I did very well

[Posted with iBlogger]

it might be a bit shocking but I realized I'm a pessimist!!! I know when things get u down and when bad things happen, I'm an optimist and all that, but I realize I'm not an optimist for all of the good things that have happened to me, and i need to give myself mire credit for all of the great things I have done!!! well done kim! I attribute ur success to yourself alone! it's not luck, but that you are an amazing person!! ok end of prep talk haha...

sorry eunice for making you wait!!

thanks for being so understanding :D

mega embarassing, coz its the first time in my life i had to get off the train to use the toilet!!!!

People i know through sotong/know with sotong.

can i consider them as my friends/good friends?

xiu ming + mel

sotong's brother + Kc

milkyway friends (wait that's like completely abandoned!)

hmmm wait.. dun think there's anyone else in the list! hahahaha...

sotong's family? haven't seen them in a while..

idk.. suddenly thought of it when i saw ritchie online, and i was like "who's that? oh ya tong's bro's friend!"

This will be our little secret.

Thank you mr police officer :)

sometimes all you need is a really sympathetic listening ear

I don't know why but i started wondering again...

if you have a kid, its really sad to have him, but hide him.

will your kid ask, "daddy, why don't your friends know about me?"

why aren't i on your facebook wall? Why are my friends on their parents facebook profile picture, and they all seem super loved?

Well its coz you were an accident, and its embarrassing?

Im an embarrassment? (he will most probably cry at that point in time)

Well, you cant exactly say that to your kid right?

So, I suddenly have great respect for people who have accidentally have kids, but have the guts to show the world "hey here is my kid, im proud of him/her" Its not that they are shameless. Its that they life all figured out!

Once again, it all boils down to "I might have done it wrongly the last time, but now, im going to make sure that with what I have, im going to do my best to it right! I'm not going to hide it away and lie to people anymore" and that's completely admirable/respectable..

you go guys/girls!

Hi

Test

I signed up for this weird newsletter, now i keep getting "how to get ur ex back" emails..

but problem is, i dont want my ex back!! I have tong! :D

anyway, the mailer is still pretty interesting!! :D and when i think about it, (and my friend's failed relationships where the guy just kept clinging on, but it for sure was not going to work out, and i read this, i realised, heck its damn true!!)

10 mistakes you cant afford to make

http://www.getexback.net/download/top10mistakes_ashley.pdf

btw, ignore the propaganda after page 11...

this was interesting...

If your ex appears to hate you, have moved on, told you to stop
contacting, says there's no chance in hell and just plain wants
nothing to do with you.

Here's something to think about...

There is a FINE line between love and hate. Actually sometimes
those lines cross over.

Why do you think your ex would CARE to hate you if they didn't care
for you at all?

It's the people who are closest to us that has the potential to
hurt us the most, and your ex knows this! In fact, you see this in
couples all the time when an argument erupts. They know exactly
what to say to hurt one another. And it works every time.

I classify the following as things people do/say when they're in
DEFENCE mode.

* Ignoring you/shutting you out

* Telling you they hate you and never want to see you or talk to
you again

* Blocking your advances quickly (as if it's a reflex reaction)

* Doing things deliberately to make you jealous (dating someone
new, deleting you on Facebook, telling or showing you how happy
they are now you're broken up)

If your ex just did not care at all and they've completely moved
on, they wouldn't bother putting in the EFFORT to hate you.. yes
that's right, it's not easy to hate someone and keep hating someone.

Case in point.

When you're upset with someone, is it "natural" to block someone
out, to resist talking to them, to ignore them and be hostile
around them? This stuff does not come easily to anyone, it takes
EFFORT.

If your ex is putting in so much effort to block you out and treat
you like you don't matter, then clearly you know the OPPOSITE is
true, because to truly not care would mean they'd be in their
natural state around you.

In other words, they'd be indifferent!

And I think:

The more an ex appears to hate you, the MORE they're really hurting
inside. That's why you need to approach the whole situation very
carefully! The mistakes you make while they're vulnerable matters
and they STACK.

When you're extremely emotional and the same annoying thing (or
person) keeps contacting or annoying you, you're going to dislike
that person/thing even more.

The Ex Recovery System and especially my From Break Up to Break
Through Program addresses this point. Actually it's excellent for
bridging that gap between your ex's need to stay away from you
(from hurting) to your need to penetrate and make them trust you
again.

At the end of the day it comes down to TRUST and RESPECT. Two key
points the Ex Recovery System revolves around.

Click here: http://www.exrecoverysystem.com

I'm not saying its some miracle cure.. and I don't agree with
products that promise "instant" results to getting an ex back
anyway. The system is about LONGTERM happiness for you because
you're the central figure in your life!

With that said, The Ex Recovery System is only for people who care
about their relationships and improving it for the better.

So often people get it wrong because, well, because no one teaches
you about it! Most people only have parents, friends and
celebrities to model of and sometimes that's not the best example
of relationship success! Did I say sometimes? More like most of the
time.

If you'd like a proper chance to reunite with your partner and get
the relationship working FOR YOU instead of you working for it.

today was a fun day

maybe because i felt like i was young again

fafa and i spontaneously went for the elementz character profiling, and signature analysis

the guy is damn good, somehow he knows us from our profile and our signature!!!

and we ran into a restaurant shophouse to use the toilet, and got scolded!!!

I hate getting scolded, actually, i think i hated how i had to apologise to them, to appease them coz i know that it was the right thing to say, although i wasnt sorry at all!!!

sometimes, white lies really bug me...

ah well... to be young again :D
