the obligatory new year post

in a certain daily publication, a reader wrote that sgreans have compassion, despite not having civic graciousness.

for this one year, some people had been debating about giving up seats, clearing plates and bowls, clearing your pet's waste and a recent one about foreign workers, among the usual no littering, no spitting etc.

we hosted F1. going to have the YOG and though the IRs may be delayed, it's going to happen. are we still this ungracious little red dot? unfortunately yeah. we still have a long way but I think we are pretty successful in generating awareness and in time to come, we can make it.

compassion? oh sure we have, loads of it. "Omg that local superstar actress just broke her nail trying to do a cartwheel 2m across the stage on live tv! Honey, lets donate to NKF! It's for a good cause coz we love unfortunate children too right? I am so feeling for that actress. she's gonna be so sad for that broken nail." my point? are you really compassionate or just emotionally charged up?

note, this is just my own personal opinion and by no means represent the viewpoints of the majority others. I would love to have a different perspective but the abovementioned reader failed.

also, I was going to bring this ranting to hong lim park but they say my application wasn't successful.

reason: can't chope time slot with a packet of tissue.

to 2008, auld lang syne.
