Be attentive, affirmative, and appreciative!
------------------------------------------------------------
The aim of education is not knowledge but action!
------------------------------------------------------------
Sincerely pursue your passion and let God do the rest!
------------------------------------------------------------
If you can, you will.
If you will, you can.
------------------------------------------------------------
Excellence is not an act; it's a habit.

You have 3 choices: Give up, Give in, or Give it Your All.

No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.

Kiasuism is the national philosophy,
Its essence is fear of loss
Of profit and opportuniy,
And good rating from the boss.
Fear of displeasing the Government
That could show its displeasure,
By taking back that big promotion,
As a first punitive measure.
Kiasuism's fears are so narrow,
They're all about saving one's skin,
When really a national philosophy
Should have a more positive spin.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are said to be too serious,
All pleasure and joy we shun;
That's the official singaporean,
The real one is much more fun.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Language puts Male and Female into many a distinct pair,
Man and Woman,
Lad and Lass,
For animals, Horse and Mare.
But watch out for the bias,
It's all on the make side;
Why is 'Master' used to praise
And 'Mistress' to deride?
Why does 'Bachelor' sound good,
While 'Spinster' can only amuse?
Why is 'Dog' at worst neutral
And 'Bitch' a term of abuse?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh for the innocent past!
When words were simple and clear,
When gay just meant happy,
And never provoked a sneer.
Now taking a pill before bed
May be badly misconstructed,
And eating delicious dates
Has nothing to do with food!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Singapore a fun city? Yes of course,
Provided morals are not damaged.
Creativity in the schools? Oh sure,
Provided it's properly managed.
Freedom? Not too much of that,
In case it gets out of hand;
So what if we end up as
The blame leading the blame?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scientist's definition of a kiss
Is just so technical and smart:
A kiss is a contraction of the lips
Due to an expansion of the heart!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new religion in Singapore?
A brand new monotheism?
It has worshippers island-wide
Its name is moneytheism.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We seek out company
Whenever we feel low;
The more people we meet,
The fewer people we know!

Carrot on a stick:
false hope; you'll keep on running after it but you'll never be able to get it.
like a donkey, with a carrot in front of him, motivating him to go on and on and on and on...

this is how my sis described herself:
"This blog belongs to an avid animal lover, who happens to be a typical bookworm and has a passion for music. But most importantly, this gal is known for her Love for God and will talk endlessly about her God & her church youth grp - IGNYTE - that is, if YOU'll let her..."
i think that is nice, and cool. too bad i dun have such a smart brain to come out with these kind of words/phrases. =D
