They don't seem to realize that when you take care of the basics (education, healthcare, sanitation, flood control, housing, law and order), everything else will follow suit.
Success is a lot more than just building a large industrial region in the south and sending a spaceflight participant in a Russian rocket..... tackle the bread-and-butter issues first, and caviar and foie gras will follow soon.
It's kinda hard to believe in their system when 50 ringgit settles everything up there.

I was stood up by my classmate again, when we were supposed to go out this morning. I seriously wonder if she and her housemates are making a joke out of me.

Missed lunch date? Did you call her? Anyway, just finished a lite bite. Might just zzz before prancing on the yoga mat.

The phone was switched off.

Crap! What about her housemate? Anyway, just leave it. Had lunch?
-
Nope. Instead of going to Poison Ivy with her, I'm waiting for Dad to return from Aston's in Sembawang.
-
He's buying lunch for you then? What's planned for the rest of the day? More project work?
-
I already ganna twa by a guy so often, especially its regards to just going to Johor Bahru.
Am starting to be detached whenever he sms-ses to ask me whether I am free. Think some people just cannot trust.
-
Ok, in desperate need of a bed, fluffy pillows and comforter in chilled room. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon!

I find that a bit hard to believe .....
-
If you've read the book "The world is flat", makes sense to take up a technical course vs arts or social sciences.

many say e recession from e finanical sector gave ppl a realistic thought -

I've been thinking of getting self assembling a custom made watch. the chinese movements are in far more plentiful supply and hell of a lot cheaper than the Swatch ETA ones. The newer ones by Seagull or Hangzhou are pretty damned good. -

nothing wrong with dreaming of making big bucks of course ...but on a societal level, paper profits is just that ...
but on a societal level, I think it's a different story ... a teacher nurtures the next generation, an engineer makes things run and improves our daily lives .... a doctor heals people ... a policeman keeps the peace ... a farmer grows food, a scientist contributes to our understanding of the world ... .... each of these professions contributes to the well-being of the society, adds to our body of knowledge, advances society, and maybe even humanity ....
but I know quite a few people, smart, some even brilliant mensa types, who does nothing but chases paper profit on forex futures and other financial products ... sure, they make a good living, some even make a fabulous living, a couple of years out of the uni ... but I think it's insane ... their existence is almost ... parasitic ? ...
