hey heyZzzz
oh yah. thank you to those who have been visiting my blog~
i'm really honoured
hahaha

oh yah, told my fren bout my last few entries and he suggested me to send em to the forum of TST... hemm i think not, cos i think my entries are too emotionally charged. anyway nothing of interest in the forum page today... except some students complaining de universities are not sending out letters of offer together, which makes it hard for them to decide.. goodness... even thou i'm also in a dilemma of choosing btw de course i like (physics) and the sch i like (SMU), i'm pretty sure i wanna go SMU... even thou i'm not confident of econs.. cos ultimately, i wan an education that develop me holistically, in terms of my confidence, public speaking, leadership qualities etc. not jus another place that i spend my next 4 years in. and as for no confidence in taking econs, everything will still depends on my perserverance.. sigh... but a tough life ahead man
hahahahah

haha anyway, there's this article bout china selling fake milk formula that caused the death of 9 infants... really scary the things that pple countefeit nowadays. even pirated milk?! and Mr armani on his recent visit to china actually bought a Gorgio Armani watch for US$27 hahah, however this rich guy said that "if someone copies you, its a compliment, it means that you've done it right. " this piracy industry in china is costing the chinese govt a huge amt of money annually. the chinese government is looking into heavier penalty to curb the problem.

looking at how big the piracy industry is in china, it is impossible to be dealt with by a single measure, by punishment. other than the soft social engineering method, education, i would like to suggest one other solution. to encourage the society to come up with their own big and small brands, instead of imitating others.
i think there is demand for such imitations is due to the fact that the products are really cheap and they look like de real ones. it is about the status and price. if chinese producers can come up with brands that can penetrate the overseas market and make it big, it will be cheap in china and they can wear it proudly.

secondly, since chinese are so patriotic as they claimed, liking things made in their country, then by all means have ur own brands of stuff and stop imitating other brands.

anyway, i believe that with their resources, if they wanna create a big brand, it's not difficult. they can make a killing jus by selling to all the nationalistic people in the country alone. btw>> i always have this idea that i can actually go ard china and collect jus one yuan from each chinese, by de end i'll be a billionaire.

oh yah, was reading a really overdue xing ming re bao (evening paper) jus now, (dun ask me why was i reading that, u dunwanna noe hahahaha) and there were actually 2 very different response to my fave topic, the pigswill incident! hahahah one was by a very famous DJ, Lin Anna, the other some anonymous person, very likely an old one. anyway, anna was talking bout giving others respect if you aspect others to respect you and that the younger generation for both countries are actually on par, when it comes to being spoilt and arrogant.(I TOTALLY AGREE) and the author with pen-name "wai wai" said something about all singaporeans being stuck up and we're jus descendants from chinese fishing and farming villages, there's really nothing to be proud of.

firstly, i wanna justify why i agree with Ms Lin on her point. China is still very strict with its one child policy due to a too massive population, it is very natural to dote on the one and only child. Moreover, it is not jus the parents doting on the child, this generation also has all of their grandparents attention. the only time they interact with other children is when they are at sch. and with so much attention on them, there is a relatively higher possibility to become more self-centred.

Personally, on my trip to China in 2002, i was arranged to stay in a foster home to understand de culture there. i had a very pleasant experience, my foster father being a doctor and my chinese fren was a very sweet, understanding, smart and mature girl. However, my frens had very different experience. seems like it was common to be rude to the parents and we had a cultural shock indeed. when all along we thought that chinese youths are suppose to be very filial. also in sg, the younger generation are being spoilt with material goods and all the attention they get from the elders. even if the parents wanna take their children in hand, the grandparents will actually cover up and protect the children. so when all you adults point fingers at the students being arrogant and spoiling the sino-singaporean relationship, please think of whether you have sent u nieces, nephews, sons and daughters big ang baos, toys, telling them they're de best in de world... yada yada yada... i agree that i might be generalising abit too much, but this is jus my experience.

anyway, as for the wai wai person, i'm sorry but i might get abit personal here. i hope i dun get to meet this person. from his point of view, singapore is small, little talent, little space for doin anything big and the weather here is too hot, and staying here too long will be boring. from this we can actually see he'smost prob is a chinese. i'm sorry our little country has failed to make u at home, this is singapore, not ur country, u see? i think we really regret to cause you so much inconvenience, so if you're so unhappy here, den why stay here? as he mentioned, many are using singapore as a springboard to make it to other countries or back to their own country to work, however, as i see it, with such attitude, where ever you land, it'll be de same all over.

i believe that if one does not see himself as inferior, others will neva be able to make them feel that they're look down upon. it's when u noe ur shortcomings that's when u think that u're inferior to others. so anywhere these ppl goes, they're bound to feel that they are being look down upon and not be able to be happy. another problem of pple with inferior complexity is that they tend to 'step' on pple in order to boost their ego, to show others that they are better. so if these pple happen to go back to their country, perhaps they'll be de arrogant and stuck up ones. they need a mindset change. Period.

we are indeed a small country, comprising of pple who are descendants of poor fishing and farming village, but today, i'm proud to say i'm a singaporean. of this small country that always strive to remain competitive. i believe its difficult to make it big here, working abroad is an option for most singaporeans, but there are also many who remain a singaporean. there are also times when i really disagree with some policy, such as our education system, but i believe the time of change has come. and no matter how difficult it is, we're goin to work thru it jus like de Sars incident. so perhaps my forefather is from China, but that doesn't mean we owe them anything.

sigh, i think i'm gonna start a new topic tml. i'm sick of tis topic. my conclusion, i only found out i'm so patriotic today. hahahahahha i love singapore! muacks and singaporean youths, let us work hard to make a betta tomorrow!!!!!!

"we are singapore, singaporeannnnnsssss...."
LOL

cheers
