Palin: at it again?

28 01 2009

NO WAY. Doesn’t Sarah Palin know she was the biggest joke of the 2008 election?  Does she know that? This was such a dramatic election. I believe that McClain could have won IF Palin wasn’t his VP.

Palin is going to make 2012’s election another big drama.

Boy, I can’t wait for this.

The longest on-going war, without the violence.

28 01 2009

Hey! I just learnt a really interesting fact. Does any one know that North Korea and South Korea are at war?

It’s true.

The history goes that after World War 2, USA was in South Korea and influenced them to be a democratic country while the USSR was in North Korea and influenced them to be a communist country. The UN tried to get both North and South Korea to become one country. However, USSR disagreed and had their own elections and after that the USA did the same in their respective areas. In 1949, both USA and USSR troops left Korea and the next year, North Korea invaded the south. USA fearing that the Communism was going to spread, went to back up South Korea. The UN joined them. Soon they were near the border between Korea and China and so China felt treathened and helped out North Korea.  Three years laters, they agreed to end the war. HOWEVER, they didn’t sign a peace agreement and at their border, there is a demilitarised zone.

So technically, they are still at war.





What’s your personality like?

26 01 2009

Firstly take the below quiz. ( It’s free)

http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp

Just in case anyone’s interested this is me:

You are:

  • slightly expressed extravert
  • moderately expressed intuitive personality
  • moderately expressed feeling personality
  • slightly expressed judging personality

Pretty accurate but not all is there of course.

Personalities are the most complex areas of a person.  There are many many personalities out there and people think that they are linked. There are two sides to this. A yes and a no.

My friend is very interested in Astrology and Horoscpoes. She can tell me all about my friends and if I am compatible with certain guys. She sees links in personalities. She can compare  personalities of famous politicians and some of our friends and those describtions are very acturate. I don’t know how she does it.” It’s written in the stars” people say. Stars have been here billions of years and people think that all the answers are written in the skies. The skies. When there is a miracle, look up to the heavens. May be, just may be because we look up to the heavens the sky has all the answers, including the end of the world.HEY! The earth has been here for millions and millions of years and it will reamain here for billions and billions of years to come when we are all dead and burried. Man look up to the stars because looking down ain’t that helpful.  But people look at the stars and I’m telling you the stars are pretty accurate. I’m a virgo okay.

Too long to copy. Just read it yourself

On the other hand, I feel that although people share some simillar charectoristics but I feel that your background has a good role on your personality.

I don’t know

It’s interesting though.





Oprah’s Big Give

26 01 2009

She is just such an amazing. She loves giving back to the community.She is a great lady.

She is just a very giving person and the way she gives to so creative. The big give is a great game show however, the claim that nothing will be even to the winner isn’t so true.  If you want me to leave my family for a long period of time for a competition, you better have something in it for me.

She has great intentions. But do her contestants have them?





Last Tamil Tiger bastion ‘taken’

25 01 2009

Looks like this war for a land of their own has come to an end as the last of the Tamil Tigers were arrested. Sri Lanka’s violence is coming to an end. Tamil Tigers won’t have that land that they want. Many lives have been lost and lots more damaged. We can only wish Sri Lanka the best of luck to bring it’s economy back up.

Economic Crisis: Singapore’s Budget

25 01 2009

Alright. Singapore’s budget speech has been pushed forward from February to January due to the Global Economy falling into a giant hole. Now, the thing is the Singapore Government will be spending $20.5 billion to help us, Singaporeans out. $20.5 BILLION is a lot of money. And just to show you how majorly bad this economic crisis is, the government- for the first time in Singapore’s history – will be taking out $4.9 billion from past reserves. We have never in our 44 years of Independence taken out money from past reserves. That is how horrible this financial crisis is.
If you ask me, I understand why the goverment is spending $20.5 billion this year but what if by this time next year, the crisis doesn’t clear up? I do recall hearing somewhere that it will take up approximately 2 years to clear up this economic mess.

Well, good luck everyone! I hope we survive this.





Pakistan school girl’s diary

25 01 2009

There is this diary written by a Pakistan School Girl which I am currently following. She reminds me so much of Anne Frank and how much she is suffering in a war. I read her entries and I just recall everything I read about Anne Frank and I feel so fortunate. I feel so lucky. I’m lucky that I am not living in a country which is in a violent conflict. All you will ever find in my diary about conflict is either the non-violent conflict between me and several girls or the wars and conflicts around the world and that is it. When I read diary extracts of that girl, I just stare in awe. Nothing I go through can worse than what she is going through. Nothing all my friends put together can be worse than what she is going through.
I hope she and her family will be ok.

Obama being president; my official views

22 01 2009

On 21 January ( Singapore time), Mr. Barack Obama did what many African Americans who lived 50 years ago would consider the impossible, becoming the Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America. President Barack Obama now has to live up to his promises and to the high expectations of the world. On his to-do list is pulling the global economy out of this financial crisis, putting a stop to the conflict in the Middle East, end wars in Iraq and Afghaistan, recast relations between West and Islamic countries, create new links with China and, like there already isn’t enough already on his plate, slove our global warming problem. Yes, it may seem like there is much for him to do. However, Obama did manage one historic event. Who says he won’t be able to manage another few?





It has a nice ring doesn’t it….President Obama…

20 01 2009

This is the day everybody has been waiting for ever since M.L.K Jr. WOAH! President Obama. Obama. Mr. President. I think it has a nice ring to it.
It will have an even better ring to it if he does a lot of change.
CHANGE.
OBAMA FOR CHANGE.
OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT.
Yeah.
I think people can get used to putting that in their mouths and leaving it there for another 8 years! ( well, it he goes a good job he’ll be there for 8 years!)





Even the smallest of gestures are given the greatest of gratitude

17 01 2009

Moments ago, in the middle of my previous post, I received a call from a mother of a girl attending my school. She wanted to thank my mum for the hamper placed at her door.

I should explain more. Over the past week, we encouraged to bring non-perishable foods to school so that the parent volunteers could pack them in hampers to give to the less-fortunate girls of our school ( basically the ones recieving financial help from the school). If everyone brought just one food item, there would be about 1256 food items, if my memory doesn’t fail me. I know some girls who brought more than one food item which was very kind. My mum is a volunteer and bought 2 small packets  of Ferrero Rocher chocolates each for my sister and me to donate. This was for the lunar new year. Wanting to let everyone celebrate it specially.

About some hours ago, my parent left the house with several hampers and went around to hand them out. Moments ago, I got a call from the mother of one of the girls under the financial aid programme and she just wanted to talk my mum and I explained that it was group effort by the school but honestly, it really didn’t matter. Getting that call, knowing that they were so grateful, it just made my day.  To know I helped in something good, that although I made the smallest amount of effort and she being so grateful just completely made my day.

Well, its true what they say. Small things go a long way.
