The NKF fiasco

For this, I have a small comment.

Though I admire Durai in a way that he is a smart businessman, shrew person and has his good side, nonetheless he is still a person who has gone into the wrong sector.

Charity is unlike business though people might argue turning something into economical can make things big, which I like to agree to a certain extent.

He should go into Business sector and not NKF. It is really devastating and for once, finally Durai met the wrong enemy, the SPH. Unlike the predecessors who are one-one and do not have enough resources, SPH has the firepower to employ good lawyer and the finanacial means to fight a war, as a Giant against a Giant. (Moreover, DuraiN even have the audacity to waste the donator's money on stupid lawsuits he won in the end. And the best thing is the lawsuits that DuraiN won prove to be wrong for the statements of the victims that have been sued are correct.)

As early as years ago, people have been whispering and dismay about the rumours whom all know to be true about DuraiN(Hope he does not sue me for whatever crap defamation). But all kept quiet like any "political information", as rich and powerful people like to use the law for their purpose. Law as a very useful weapon, and a very useful section of "defamation". And defamation ia always a good weapon for the rich. This may be a downside of the law when there is a good intention and faith in enscripting the section on defamation.

Frankly speaking I not like the arrogance on DuraiN's face (My personal view and only personal and I may be wrong but I do not care), even when I was at a tender age. I just know this whatever ***** will go into dilemma or hit a wall in the future. Finally the days have come. He slap himself in the face by using law as weapon, facing the wrong enemy who also know how to use law as a weapon. This silencing has always been a political tool, and in some aspects this fiasco has political gist.

As a father or personal boss to the employees or whatever, I do not care to comment. But as a person who provide service especially in the name of charity, this is horribly unacceptable. DuraiN has so many things to hide, and this obviously shows that, when a person always hide, that means they are doing something to break the law, or bypass the law, or using money or methods in a wrong way that defy morality and ethics.

I have even formulated many conspiracy of him and the boards, but hey, I am not totally into the hatred mood until I do stupid things to vandalise or throw rotten eggs. These people who have done this are however mudane, with a simple mind as an animal. Animals cannot control their anger while we can. This is why we have the power to destroy the world (Though I am an environment and all animal, bacteria and virus, simply an organism lover)

Anyway, I have always been very NKF-sicked. They keep bothering others and me until people cannot make it and take it as if they have not enough money to save people. Of course the more the merrier. But they cannot do it to an extent that they want a share that is more than lion. Even China knows when to do soemthing however small and not useful to minimise trade deficit. But for NKF, I hope they know.

I do acknowledge their contribution to Singapore though in percentage this is small, but people still argue that a contribution is a contribution. Yes, yes, whatever. It is still a fact that organisation can still survive without lucky draws until money money money, making the whole Singaporeans look like materialistic fools. Of course, we cannot control greed. But seeding greed is a terrible sin.

Btw, I donate to other charity, and I really donate. Donate fatigue is a good term to describe Singapore. The charity shows are super common. And soon people will be sick. I do not know about the celebrities and the media though I know their intentions are good. They actually have an ulterior motive such as this type of charity can earn money, draw people and therefore advertisements. I may be wrong anyway.

Whatever I say here is very offensive but I do not care, the most is I delete this if things go out of hand but be sure this type of thinking will never die off. It is just people do not want to express it verbally or vibrantly.

May the charity be holy !!! (And btw, I am not a Christian ...)

Change again ..

It seems that I have been on a roller coaster ride this year. This may seem good or I can look at it in a negative way. Well, 3 months BMT, then 2 weeks SSO, then 3 months of NPCO, now ganna transfer to SOC MPU or simply MRT patrol unit. I am quite embarassed by the term SOC as they are elite forces and very "xiong" or "Garang" or simply tiring and shag. I do not know about the training which is going to start, but I think this will be an entirely new exprience for me and I am going to start all over again. For me, I have been always the pioneer of a programme, from primary school to now. Partially, I will joke because I am from tiger year, and my batch has few babies, this is why the government will want to put our batch the guinea pig. Well, for me, I am just don't know plain unlucky or really the chance to become versatile, for I am very pro temporo and evsnescent. I have just settled down and adapt whule grabbing the ropes of becoming NPCO when I was dragged to other thing. Well, I understand that hey changes are anywhere, and it is unhealthy and dangerous for one to be settled too quickly and comfortably while ot moving. But hey, hell for me, my changes and acclimatization is too fast.

This I am afraid of being the Jack of all trades and master of none. For me, I aspire to be Jack of all trades and Master of some. I have been either "highly sought after" or just being treated like a dirt or a toy, as people want me to transfer here or there. I have actually been picked as a SA too by my CO. But, too bad I am going to this MPU by high orders.

Well, since thing has come to this plight, I have to accept under the Bo bian Act. Or simply forced to accept, and with a positive mind. My 3 months of NPCO life, I have learned tremendously and they are going to be part of me forever. I have become more enlightened in fact after the 3 months. Looking at Singapore and people at a wider perspective. Not being ireverant of high authorities or being recalcitrant, I still feel I have been very unlucky and being played around, this is why I am very sick of being in the force though their objective is good and they did a great job all in all.

Anyway, this MPU is very important, as highlighted in the lights of the consecutive London blasts, and also the case of JI members video and planning to sabatage and bomb Yishun MRT station. As a pioneer, this may be something I can be proud of.

And while, I can understand the plight of all girls when their boyfriend go for NS. The NS talk will be the core of all boys' conversation. The Army guys especially. I myself feel this, as I am a minority, not an army. This is why I cannot be fully immersed into the thought and conversation of the Army guys, when go out on outings. Nonetheless, I am still a guy and I listen and can still compare, though I feel the "static". But for the girls, they may be sick and tired of the NS talk, as it may seem they are transparent. Haha. So warning all guys, restrict NS talk to "our own people" and set a common stage for conversation when having a mass gathering. "In conversation" is very important in making people feel involved, as part of the grouping and settle more comfortable in terms of mood or other aspects.

But nonetheless, Chinese has a saying, Sai won Si Ma, Yan zhi fei Fu, or losing a horse may not means trouble as this means you do not need to go to war for the horse. Anyway, enough of all my whincing, for there are greater things to be achieved.

For instance, I have a very great idea, and this idea comes from the fiction I have seen and read, like Harry Potter, Batman and James Bond. Somehow Albert Elinstein is right, imagination is indeed more important than knowledge. Science fiction, or any other fiction, it keeps my imagination open.

Still updating on knowledge and not losing the present one which I have amassed up to JC level, scary that I may lose all, or simply my brain prefer to shut them off. 2 years, and I want it a smooth-sailing one, and I can go out and do what I am supposed to do. Not fighting system of NS, but still I can make use of my 2 years. May all be with me.

Also, I realise I have a lot of errors, while inputting my blog. I choose to ignore them as to show I am not a perfect person, but a person who strive to be perfect, but going to a stage of near absolute. "In literature terms". People may feel this is stupid of me, but hey I am open to all and this is my blog .... Hahahah....

At least I am having a happy life and I cannot help but feel gratified that I am fortunate and must cherish all I have... Hopeful others will be happy :)

I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it. You like to ..... MOVE IT !!!!

Lord of the flies

I am not a literature students, but I have always love literature, if not sometimes for the complicity of their languages. It is sometimes hard to phantom, thus, I will refer to people's interpretation, while trying to construe the literature, my version of literature. Chinese or English, both I take it. Even the Greeks, the latin and so on, the Arab and Eygptian, all are for me. For the books are my oyster. Of course, all these will be layed down in front of me in the most common language, English, also known as the universal language of Science (Though Math is considered to be by academics, but I myself will like to think Math is an international and universal expression of Science). Of course, grammars will be my errors. But, the inscrutable words, phrases and sentences should also be resolved, by my best friends, the dictionary - the electronics or the book. And also internet and the library are my world.

From the above paragraph, people may think of me as a nerd. But, hey, to be fair, I love outdoors and sports too, though I try to excel, but talents are sometimes not nurture itself. I love chess, love to drink tea, sit outside, view outside, and love the feelings of a pleasant breeze in a salubrious place with wonderful ambience. All these nature, Singapore might not provide me, but going outside just to have a walk, looking for a variety of delicious and famous foods, life is full of excitements, and everyday is a new thing. Of course, while working or like serving NS, time can be squeezed. Being more busy, does not mean that we cannot enjoy, or merely, we enjoy less but still enjoy. Playing chess, finding people that are better and on par with me, finding people with the same notions as me, and in emotional side, finding my love, relish the romance, all these will be stupendous and perfect.

I am a Science student, a Science - minded person, but I have never downgraded Arts or anything. I love arts, love opera, even the dying wayang kulit and the endangered Chinese opera. Paintings, drama and concerts, all are before me. Of course, money is also the factor, but in a country like Singapore, and with many chances, to get what you desire may not be that easy, but is not impossible.

I still update myself on the recent Science news and notions, how many theories come and go, or even only exist sometimes or with a certain requirements. Thus, while I make it a point to think of new things and how things can be done, can be improved, hopefully in the future when I have the capability, to create, to invent and to ameliorate.

Trying to be exuberant, is extremely hard. For me, I am bornt in a family background that trains me to be introvert, and maybe I am bornt to be more introvert. But of course, with courses and education, and the idea of a society, and in a country without natural resources for us to fend independently, I got to be extrovert. But sometimes, being like this, disgusted me as I feel like a hypocrite as I am faking. But I realise, in order to put this as part of me, I have to constantly remind myself never to be too shy to do anything, but of course not to be overly overt. For this, maybe now I still do not have a romance, but let fate, luck, God, and myself do the talking soon. Sooner than I can think of.

I do seek solace in literature works and story books. All the puffin classics like The Mutiny. the 3 Musketeers and so on, I have read. Even the Dan brown story series like the Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, they are wonderful. I do read works like the Lord of the flies by William Golding. I must say I am very impressed by this person who bears that same name as me.

The story is about how man can become extremely evil if there are no laws and order. Also without punishments and rewards, law and order will be meaningless. This is why punishments and rewards are a must in life as stated in the philosophy of Qin Dynasty. Golding used children as the characters as children are supposedly the most innocent of all. The most purest and the beginning of all humans. How these children turn into Babarians and savages, This book is a must to read. I have gained a lot of insights from this book. It is however impossible to input all the things I have gained into this blog, but I have hold discussions with my friends and people who have read this book. The good thing about literature is there is nothing wrong about your judgement as long as it is logically justified in contexts. This is also an example of a contradictory world. We need something though it may cause us harm, something that should not be present are present in situations.

Anyway, Lord of the flies, is a strange name. And I have spent my time at MRT, mulling over it. But I bump into a documentary that talks about documentary on Deomns. Lord of the flies are basically for the demon and devils, but specifically Baleef (I forget the spelling). Because, when death occurs, It is always present. In the past, people witness flies hovering where there are carcasses. In Science, this is part of decompostion and detritivores. But to the people in the past, this witness an aspect of evilness. So, people associate evilness, corrupt and savage with the flies and the lord. In Christian, 3 demons in the world are strongest. Supposedly and accordingly to them, Lucifer is Saturn, and Baleef and another being which I have forgotten also.

Anyway, there is so much things to talk and so much excitement. Wow, no wonder what I input may be a little jumble, and this is why a focus and boundary is sometimes required.

That's all for now, feel like writing a book on how I thought, and compile them. That will be wonderful. For me, and for the others who might gain for my insights ....
