Interesting stuff you find on Facebook about Singapore Policies

Before I begin with the interesting stuff you find on Facebook which is closely related to the policies the government has been making lately, it is good to note from the walls and comments found in social sites or other forms of new media, there are about 6 ABCDEF groups of people you will often observe.
1) The Apathy group who don't comment at all and are sitting on the fence on everything.
2) The seemingly Biased/Blind group who protest at everything or support blindly on all issues basically because they are on the same side.
3) The Complaint group who does nothing but whine without any analysis of the issues.
4) The Destructive group who engages everyone to do stupid things like spamming some MP's email.
5) The Effeminate group who I think are the worse kinds, often telling people to stop whining, what is the point of doing this or that, cannot change anyway, accept the fact that...etc - Seriously isn't it worse than whining/complaining? Because I think at the very least a complaint raises awareness.
6) The Fruitful group who will have constructive suggestions and critical analyses to take it to the next level.

This is a pretty interesting Facebook group : Dear PM Lee, please take the train with me :)
This group is asking our PM to get down from the ivory tower and take time to see how the public transport is actually performing. An interesting find on the wall inside the group :-

LKY's daughter Lee Wei Ling wrote on Sunday Times today (21st Mar):

"My brothers chose not to give their children any Western names. One nephew, when he was in school, asked his parents' permission to adopt a Western name. His mother Ho Ching told him: 'In China, only waiters and waitresses use Western names.' My father
 also explained how 'Harry' became part of his name and how he tried to remove it."

So, if you who have a Western name, Ho Ching is saying you are no better than PRC waiters and waitresses... LOL!

So the PM's wife just proclaimed that me, and a hell lot of my friends including her Father-in-law is no better than waiters and waitresses!!...no offense to the service industry intended on my part, though maybe Ho Ching has. A job is a job, what makes her work more noble? Especially after losing billions and billions of dollars which can be used to help the poor instead of raising Conservancy charges, GSTs, ERPs, Polytechnics/University fees...etc, but seriously I think even if we did not lose those billions, the money wouldn't have gone to subsidise the population but into the coffers of the employees of the SWFs.

Another interesting group: VOTE FOR CHANGE, VOTE THE PAP OUT
This group's manifest or description is pretty interesting and somehow very true, tempted to join the group but fear the repercussions, that my Facebook friends will proclaim I am a biased bigot and thus lose my effectiveness to actually discuss like I am a sound-minded individual with no political affiliations (haha, which is true that I am sound-minded and somewhat educated with absolutely no inclination for whatever party but focussed more on policies made by sleeping buffoons in parliaments these days) :-

Happy Thanksgiving


With great friends enjoying a great time on NBA Live 10 on a 50in flatscreen with massive speakers @ a nice pad.


I am thankful for great friends, for a great family, a great boss and company to work for. And finally, always thankful that my photos are appreciated in someway or another.



I didn't know they notify you for stuff like that...

Something I can't understand...


Facebook is a wonderful social networking tool. I've found my long lost primary school friends of over 20 years to even newly found ones. Even tonight, an Army friend whom I have lost contact with since Uni days have found me! hahaah

What's most interesting is that I have dwindled my addiction to Facebook, stopped myself from playing the addictive Petrol Head where I have managed to get an Aston Martin DBR9 Le Mans version and accumulated 15639600 points! I basically now use Facebook to keep in touch with my friends and ex-colleagues, like an emailing tool except its cool to stay in touch without sacrificing the already limited time we have. It's cool to put up old photos and new ones tagging friends in there, sharing all the photos we have taken, and even share the vacation pictures. In the beginning I've basically added all sorts of applications, and little did I know that this application called Compare People, which our peers vote for each other such as best smelling, smartest etc...have me stumbled in confusion.

I just recently saw that I have been voted:
1) Most athletic (Duh, I am training hard for my IPPT lately, cos I normally die passing the 2.4km run - have you seen me? I am like overweight!)
2) Most desired for marriage (Err..I am still single leh)
3) Most dateable (Err...single..and available and dateless)
4) Best catch (I think this one is because all other good men are married or attached already)
5) Most kissable (Ok, this one I do not mind, but hey I ain't getting any! Maybe that's why, have lots of kisses left)


So this is something I totally cannot fathom as well as my crazy friends who think that by having a ride..(check out the Aston Martin!NOT! hahha) you can get lots of gals.. but hey I ain't getting any dates or kisses! I doubt the female gender is really that shallow. In case you do not mind a date, that's me circled and arrowed in the little picture with Jase...just kidding..

:P Conclusion I think my friends are just being nice!..way too nice!
