I gotta admit ever since I been through the EEO camp, I've become a much more happier person. And now, all of a sudden Jia En is making a pretty big impact in my life. Ever since she first called me that night, we just kept talking and talking and talking and talking like as though we've known each other for years. She would ring me up when she gets back from school, before she sleeps and even after she wakes up, lol. I don't understand why she does that but I don't care! It's so fun talking to her. I think we were still contacting each other when it was already 3am last night. I've known Jia En for 4 years I think but I didn't know we could get along so well till now. I thought she was those serious, innocent and conservative type of gal but hell no! I been wrong all this while. Apart from all the fun I get from talking to her, I appreciate the concern I get from her also. It's really nice to have her as a friend.
What have I been doing for the past few days? Hmm, same routine.......talk to Jia En, go Nicholas house to sleep, watch movie, play soccer , talk cock etc and then in the evening go meet my friends at downtown east. I got to know quite a number of people at Downtown East, mostly 15-16 year old gals. They are really those wild type! They got tattoos on them, omg....they're very fierce and playful also. My left arm is bruised becos one of the gal bit it! Zzzzz, when that gal bit my arm, I stopped her. Guess what she did next? She bit my chest! I chased after her and grabbed her. I told her it was hurting bad.....then she looked at me and sayang me on my face and then walked off, lol. Mischievious...
Anyway, during the period when my internet got cut....I wrote something about poverty. Just a penny of my thoughts... =)
Is it possible not to have beggars here in Singapore? Singapore is known as a food paradise so how can there still be people begging on the streets? As compared to some other countries, Singaporeans have a lot of resources(including food) in abundance.
Can we blame on the Singapore government for not helping these beggars? Or should we blame the beggars for not seeking help? I seriously think that it is possible not to have beggars on the streets of Singapore. To me, beggars should take the initiate and seek help. Not seeking help by begging on the streets but rather go to some charity organizations that can render help to the poor. For those beggars who are clueless of what to do, the Singapore government should take the initiative to help them. I have this idea in mind where if any beggar is spotted on the streets, there will be a hotline to call(1800-BeggarSpotted).
It upsets me terribly to see people begging on the streets, especially those who are as young as 4-5 year olds. People who are born in Singapore, they’re not supposed to end up begging! I really hope there can be a way to help all the people in poverty.
To myself, I really wanna stay happy or pretend to be happy no matter what. I've realised how much joy and happiness I can bring to others when I'm happy and go crazy. Making my friends happy and hearing their laughter really makes my day. I wanna be able to overcome any obstacles that come in my way and reach the finishing point with a smile. I admit I'm not strong enough to do this alone, I really hope the people around me will render a helping hand to make me strong enough to go through this arduous journey of life. =)
oh-so-bright.
