Priss on Dec 19th, 2011We are Singapore, Singaporeans – Are we?
With the recent price hikes in Singapore’s transport systems, more and more disgruntled Singaporeans are beginning to feel annoyed with what is happening in Singapore. Some may still defend Singapore’s system and policies, comparing it with neighboring countries such as Thailand and Malaysia, and try to convince themselves that Singapore’s transport system isn’t that bad [...]

Priss on Aug 25th, 2011Presidential Qualities To Look Out For [Singapore Presidential Election 2011]
The big question that has been going around is…. Which Tan are you voting for? With Tan Tan Tan Tan running for president, it might seem quite a tough choice, since you can no longer vote based on someone’s surname. Many of my friends and colleagues that I’ve asked still cannot decide who to vote [...]
Priss on May 8th, 2011The Flaws of Singapore’s GRC System
It is the day after Singapore General Election 2011. There were many cheers and many tears shed over last night’s results. Many people cannot stand the idea of having Tin Pei Lin as their MP and it has resulted in many Facebook groups created in protest: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Petition-to-remove-Tin-Pei-Ling-as-a-MP/152408424825883 and http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-do-not-want-Tin-Pei-Ling-in-Parliament/144764052259319 and even an online petition to [...]

Straits Times front page yesterday: PAP slams opposition for wanting to lower HDB prices. Straits Times front page today: PAP says Foreign Workers (not talents) creates jobs.

2011 is the year I become a real Singaporean. This will be the first time that my family and I will get to vote. This is the first time we can proudly say that we have a voice as Singaporeans. For many years, we weren’t given a chance to vote because it was always a [...]
Priss on Feb 18th, 2011Work and Social Network
Starting work recently made me very paranoid about my presence online and in the social networking scene. I’ve created a new Facebook page to add my new colleagues and clients, and hide my old Facebook page as discretely as I possibly can! I guess I don’t really have anything to hide, but there are many [...]

Have you ever picked on someone just because they are different from you? Have you ever excluded someone because you just didn’t like them? What I’m trying to get at… All, [...]
Priss on Oct 21st, 2010Hey OCBC, Alzheimer Doesn’t Mean Useless!
I didn’t want to read only 1 article to come to any conclusions, so I dug around for a few reports on this issue. OCBC claims that they did not allow Madam Hwang Cheng Tsu Hsu to close (and withdraw) SG$8 million account because they were afraid that she wasn’t acting with full mental capacity. [...]
Priss on Sep 2nd, 201021st Century Slavery of The Mind
During a conversation with a good friend, I discovered that most of my closer friends are people that do not hold full-time 9 to 5 (9am to 7pm in Singapore) jobs. The conversation went on, and I started churning out philosophical ideas about life and whatnot. The 21st century slave, as I would like to [...]
