Being Myself

 drips & drops fill the ocean...

We came alone & shall return alone

You were welcomed & you'll get a sent-off; it's only how many were, & who will be, present

Only life(being born) & death are destined; in between, you have choices

You can be the Hitler in-the-making or the Pope or the pauper

Being born poor was destiny but dying poor is your own doing

Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well - Robert Louis Stevenson

PUTIN: If you are born ugly, don't blame the mirror

The world loves a Winner & when you fell, more will want to walk over you than to give you a helping hand; help is accidental

When you are hurt, emotionally challenged or mentally drained, go, take a walk in the rain & let your tears & the rainwater wash away your sadness - without pomp & pity

You will return stronger after dropping the loads of burden - a burden that you willingly carried

拉黑 - Eliminate all your so-called caring friends upon realization; regrets are useless without letting go

True friends encourage, motivate & lend you a hand in the 'last mile' to get you across 

What is a beautiful row of concrete jungle if it's without a Soul? Has Singapore lost her compassion, care & share and the readiness to stand up for fellow Singaporeans? Not totally but much have been eroded over the years...

Someone said "the Singapore today is different from the day's of my dad"...Umm!! 

Nation building requires unity amongst all, if not most  

When there is a class divide, the House of Cards collapsed as each pulls in different directions

It is hard to unite if there is no common factor; terrorism was used but it eased off. Racism, xenophobia and the "Chinese privilege" crop up lately...

Alas! Happy Singaporeans unite because we were proud to be SINGAPOREANS but dilution from 'excessive' emigration is fast eating into our social cohesion & the fibre is thinning out

Good days shall come when sanity and equity return 

There are no bad people/management but if you associate with the wrong "kinds", the batter turns stale & directions deviate

There should be no quarrels amongst citizens for the common good as we have made our Pledge

Some day soon, the volume of accumulated sweat from all will weld everyone together

Mistakes are mistake only when they don't fit the season & fad as so are too early in the curve

A new normal will rise after Covid & quite likely, live side by side with it

While you are riding high, need not be too snob & high nosed; GlennKnight, PeterTham, Ng YuZhi, Madoff, Michael Milken, Nick Leeson...were once there

Singaporeans, whatever class or status, must care for one another

The current crops, young and old, must survive and prosper before outsiders benefit 

Drips & drops fill our reservoirs with lives, happiness and glee

It is not about protection against foreigners & things foreign but if locally born Singaporeans are 'marginalized', what future are we building & for whom? You wouldn't feed & educate your neighbors' children at the expense of yours, do you? Let us start with your heart  心比心

I love the SINGAPORE 1 know
