Wisdom of the Crowd: Minister Shanmugam said that PAP need to do some soul searching. 53% of the respondents said that they have been saying the same thing in past elections. 24% said that he does not intend to do anything about it.
Lin Bingwen, director of National Cheng Kung University Hospital, died of cancer at the age of 61... He left a few deep words.
He said: Don't save good things for special days.
Life is really fragile, and death is a certainty. Even Apple’s Jobs was helpless in the face of illness.
The wife of an old classmate of mine many years ago had just passed away. He told me, "I found a silk scarf when I was sorting out my wife's belongings. It was bought in a famous brand store when we were travelling to New York."
It was an elegant and beautiful designer scarf with a high price tag on it. His wife had been reluctant to use it. She had wanted to wait for a special day to use it.
Speaking of this, he stopped and I did not answer. After a while, he continued: "Never save good things for special days. Every day you live is a special day."
In future, whenever I think of these few words, I will often put down my chores, find a novel, turn on the stereo, lie on the sofa, and grab some of my time.
I will enjoy the view of Danshui River from the floor-to-ceiling windows; regardless of the dust on the glass, I will take my family to eat outside.
Life should be an experience we cherish, not a life that we have to struggle with.
I once shared this conversation with a lady. When I met her, she told me that she was no longer putting the beautiful porcelain in the wine cabinet like she used to.
She used to think that she would have to save it for a special day before using it, but later realised that that day might never come.
"Future" and "Someday" no longer exist in her dictionary. If there is anything to be happy about, or something to be proud of, she will hear and see it now.
We often want to get together with old friends, but we always say we'll look for an opportunity.
We often want to hug our grown-up children, but we always wait for the right time.
We often want to write to the other half to express our deep affection, or we want to let them know that we admire them, but always tell ourselves there's another time for it.
In fact, every morning when we open our eyes, we have to tell ourselves: "This is a special day". Every day, every minute is so precious.
[1] Don’t always work under pressure, it is too exhausting!
[2] Don’t forget that the body is everything. Without health, you cannot enjoy all the pleasures of life.
[3] Don’t think that it’s the doctor who can save lives, but its actually yourself.
[4] Don’t think that there is a reward for what you give. Only by giving without thought of the reward can you be rewarded.
[5] Don't neglect those who are predestined to be with you. You will realise that it is difficult to find a friend when the prosperity is over.
Work with the flow! Enjoy life slowly, and enjoy every day of life happily.
After you've read this short article, share it with your family and friends! You may change a lot of people. Thank you, it’s been nice to have your attention .......
[Four-room BTO flats in Geylang "14" times oversubscribed; highest application rate in recent years
The competition was also stiff in the mature estate of Ang Mo Kio where the 140 five-room flats attracted almost "12" first-time applicants each.
The five-room flats in Ang Mo Kio, in a project named Kebun Baru Edge, are the most expensive flats in this BTO exercise with prices ranging from $571,000 to $725,000.The project's 240 four-room flats were also hotly contested, attracting over "eight" applicants each.
The BTO flats in Bishan were less popular this round, with "four" applicants for each of the 272 four-room flats and fewer than two applicants for each of the 80 three-room flats.
In the non-mature estate of Woodlands, the 438 five-room flats in UrbanVille @ Woodlands were the most in-demand, drawing more than "six" applicants each.
Similarly, the 184 five-room flats in Parc Residences @ Tengah had around "five" applicants each. This is the highest application rate in Tengah since the first flats in the upcoming "forest town" was launched in 2018.]
WHY THE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS CYNICAL! CAN ANYONE BLAME THE PEOPLE! WE ARE NOT AGAINST THE SALARIES IN MILLIONS. THE REASON IS SIMPLE ENOUGH, THEY ARE JUST NOT WORTH THAT AMOUNT!
If you can't beat them (WORKER'S PARTY), join them.

Loafers in the civil service and personal pleasure just waiting for HSK to take over because they felt they can get away more with him than LHL.
