Now some of you may have heard that when you are young you are idealistic, when you’re old you are realistic. Now this is the kind of rubbish that is used by those who have either lost their ideals or have sold their ideals for self-interests. Each should not wither one’s ideals or convictions.

If anything, it should only consolidate and make it more resolute. If age has anything to do with it, it is only by way of expression and application of these ideals and convictions having the benefit of a youthful experience. And a life without convictions, without idealism, is a mere meaningless existence, and I’m sure most of you will agree that as human beings, we are worthy of a life much more meaningful than just that.

- Dr Lim Hock Siew

How hard is it to clean up after your meal? A simple inaction like this speaks volumes about the country’s mindset and how its society has been educating its future generation.

Something has to be done. And if you have to wait for the system to change before you change your behaviour, you are just like the majority of the population that isn’t moving.

Read on.

It’s been raining quite a lot recently. Sometimes I feel that my umbrella is too big for myself and I actually don’t mind sharing.

Will you mind sharing if you have an umbrella?

I guess the best way to let anyone around me, who are drenched in the rain and doesn’t mind sharing an umbrella with a stranger, know that I am willing to share my umbrella, is by announcing it using my umbrella.

Has anyone seen any umbrellas out there that have text messages on top like this before? I haven’t. I’m gonna write those words on my umbrella now.

Meanwhile, you may visit my miniblog I’ve set up with my friend, Amelie:

Food or Not

In Food Or Not, we post photos of objects we see in our everyday lives that sort of resemble food. Sometimes it’s good slow down in life.. and notice things that vaguely remind you of something you have eaten before, isn’t it?
