To be honest this CNY seems to be more quiet than previous years… In terms of activities, gambling, drinking and sinfulness of it all… It just got less. I wonder if it’s got to do with us getting older and older O_O

I too agree that it’s bullshit to say unless we pay our miniters millions, we won’t have talented ministers that will stay away from corruption. Even with their previous pay package, we have many incompetent ministers and corruption exists at all levels in both the public and private sectors. For a greedy person, no money is too much money.

Instead of cultivating future politicians that goes “Some day I want to be a politician so I can earn lots of money. It’s my ticket to becoming a millionaire”, why can’t we spend more effort in instilling national pride and interest in politics in schools so that our children will one day grow up and say “I want to serve my country because I love my country and I want it to become a better place.” I don’t even think our current primary and secondary curriculum have any politics or much unbiased history of Singapore’s politics. We are given the ‘clean’ version of our history, then what difference is there between Singapore and China and North Korea? The problems of our politics in the past should be something that is taught to our children, so that they understand how Singapore came about. We aren’t here today because everyone was nice and smiling and shaking hands with everyone. I want my children to know what’s at stake, what was sacrificed for us to get to this beautiful garden city, I want them to feel proud of Singapore – mistakes and achievements.

It would appear that in the committee’s deliberations, one of the important factors has been on how much to pay the ministers well so that people would not be deterred from taking on the job.

Have we come to this pathetic state? Is there such a paucity of people with a sense of mission in politics that we need to scrape the bottom of the barrel with the dollar sign to entice people to come forward? From the large number of people offering themselves to opposition parties in the last general election, where financial gain for them is less likely than financial liabilities, this cannot be so.

A good political leader should be one with a strong moral conviction to do what he believes in without regard for his life, liberty or monetary reward. If a person is deterred to serve his country and his people because the money is not right, how can such a person be a good political leader?

People who do not recognise their special obligation and duty to society, which has invested so much in them and helped them attain a high status and position and need to be enticed by humongous salaries to serve are really no extraordinary people and could be dispense with.

We should not gloss such people with labels like “talented people” and “good people” when the word “mercenary” would be a more appropriate term. It would really be a service to the country to deter such people from political office. We would be much better out off without leaders who are more interested in their pay cheques than in serving the country.

This is been quite a hellish year for me to be honest… Somehow the sound of a new year just sounds more promising… like better things and people to come into my life hopefully.

Will 2012 be the end of the world? Doesn’t really matter. Just gotta keep living the dream…

She met a boy, it didn’t matter his name
She examined his every move and being
Completely befuddled.

The boy loved her, oh he did
But Extremeila, being quite perculiar,
Was too easy to break.

The boy told her he loved her so
He would dig his eyes out should his eyes ever
Lusted for another

The boy told her he loved her so
He was willing to forsake his arms if they ever
Showed care towards another

The boy told her he loved her so much
He was going to pluck his heart out to prove that
He loves and loved no other

Extremeila, spoilt and perculiar, Meila
Thought she found her perfect boy
Without eyes, arms or a heart.
Perfection, Meila learnt, was to be broken.

I wonder if this poem is too morbid…

Sure, there was a point I considered doing advertorial for other international (mostly American) marketing campaign sites, but they had all kinds of strange ads! For example, blog post on gambling websites, slot machines, soft porn sites etc. I wouldn’t have wanted my blog to be tainted with those advertorials!

Soon, Nuffnang’s competitors died out one by one and Nuffnang really prevailed and proved itself to be at the top of its industry. They have been always professional and offered top brand names that I would like to feature in my blog.

More than just the attractive advertising rates Nuffnang have pitched my blog for, attending Nuffnang events really makes me feel so pampered. Although at other media events and press conferences, you get to rub shoulders with big bosses and media personnel from the ‘traditional’ media… Nuffnang events often has a special something and really caters to the needs of bloggers like myself..
