The Singapore government announced to expand the number of places in its locally-funded universities from 27% of the primary 1 school cohort, to 40%. This may not be enough. As a Singaporean politician, Jenn Jeong Yee mentioned, he estimated that 41,000 Singaporeans are enrolled in...
Even though I had told the Animal Control officer at the time of filing the complaint that follow-up wouldn't be necessary, after what my friend told me they had said, I decided to call them and find out what the heck was going on. At the very least to put my mind at ease that I had done the...

Singapore has always been multicultural. Here, we have 200 years of continuous trading and development, so we have a multicultural society for around 200 years. Immigrants come in from the Malay Peninsula/Malaysia, Spice Islands in Indonesia, Siam/Thailand, China, India and recently...

It's really extraordinary in the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM), where I currently study a degree in Accounting and Finance. Given that society in Singapore in really hierarchical, there is no place for failures, or lower-than-expected outcomes for all students. The prevalent mood...

I admit passively aggressive to most other people, I always wanted to beat others soundly, because I just don't like some things, and I have found no viable way to speak out loudly against them, as I'd like to, since we are living in a mostly conformist culture in my society. Perhaps I should...
Well, Animal Control came out to my friend's house and investigated. I don't know what they found or what they said but I do know my friend is upset. Look out for the knife in the back. No, she didn't say anything to me directly or even at first. So I thought, well, maybe they didn't...
Yesterday as I was driving to the Farmer's Market I heard a song come on the radio, one which I'd heard many times (it's an older one). Perhaps it was because my mind was still under the influence of Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique" and how it tends to dehumanize everyone, not just...

I feel that I am trained to live my parents' dreams, not mine. I just want to edit and share with my ideas freely, especially if it's for a good cause, like speaking out for people with Autism and striving for unity within the Autie community in my country, or saving the Earth, or even...
Recently I finished Betty Friedan's classic, "The Feminine Mystique", which came out nearly 50 years ago and marked the rebirth of the American feminist movement. "The Feminine Mystique" is the name Ms. Friedan gave to the idea that women were not to have a life or mind of their own but were to...
I feel thankful that concrete steps have been done to improve the employment situation in people with ASDs/autism, especially through E2C, the employment and employability centre for people with autism. I think, though, they lead to careers in the private sector, with MNCs/large multinational...

I've been thinking... So much about diagnosing mental illnesses has to do with societal norms. There are often no objective scientifically sound impartial & reliable tests to confirm them. Often mental illnesses themselves seem to be culturally defined & based on norms, religious beliefs &...

My government is actively promoting new births. I usually dismiss such political exercises. Look at our younger friends. They have to go through endless and mindless standardised testing, everywhere around the world, be they are in Singapore or the United States. They grow up with lower...
I have a vision for the autism community around the world. I hope that eventually, all around the world, people with autism can be empowered and enabled to contribute to the world, through their unique gifts and talents that they share with the rest of the world, regardless of autism functioning...

Time for blog #3. Having read & responded to many of your great blogs, I'm getting the hang of what blogging actually is. I've been thinking: We Aspies are known (by NT experts who think they know us) as prone to having OBSESSIONS. What the heck does that mean? It means a keen interest in...

Well, I finally did it. I went and called Animal Control on my friend who is abusing her dogs. This will probably mean the end of my involvement with that church. We shall see. Some might say that it is God testing this church since we have spent a lot of time on the passage in Galatians...

As mentioned recently, my purpose in life is to help to better the world through solving issues that affect my community, my society and the world I live in. My vision in life is to feel more energised every day, than the day before, and I feel really happily tired whenever I go to sleep...

I know clearly what my dreams are. It is just that I need some time to settle in my thoughts, before articulating them in words. Definitely, it's not my parents'. My parents want me to be a doctor, or someone who do some form of medicine. Given that I have already depression since I was 17...

I also have an inability to compromise, and this has an adverse effect on me and my life. My culture has a lot of grey areas. It could not accept mere yes and no's. I could not accept an ambivalent solution, it's either a 'yes' or a 'no' for me, and well, truth hurts. I always feel anxious...
