Knowing that we can only be employed on a year-to-year basis and our contracts can't be renewed, and we have to do 2 months of break after every job contract ends, I always ask myself: am I really financially able to support a team of committed people to support my after-job vision? There...

I'm a Brony, I live in Singapore, and initially, before September 2012, I was tossed around like trash in the Brony community. I was, and remain a friendly Brony who supports the current organisational structure of Singapore Bronies Society, but I can't get in there, until some friend I have...

I never call myself a volunteer for Aspies. The features of today's economy is, people literally work for free in a sophisticated manner, for the good of humanity, outside their work or maybe school time. I feel that we're expounding on one of the most underdeveloped sector of the economy -...

From Dan Ariety's book on Irrationality, I read that Duke basketball ticketholders value their tickets against the Tar Heels at US$3,000. Those who don't get the tickets value the tickets at US$100. This is why ownership looks alluring. Governments do encourage home ownership, car ownership...

Consider this: Some Harvard-trained physicians, as Dan Ariety wrote, quit medical cancer research (their original passionate interest) to get into Wall Street as investment bankers. They gained influence, they gained money, but lost their dreams. Kevin Federline, a former backup dancer...

Controversy
Even as a fervent supporter of the government (or because I am such), I am not happy with these developments in Singapore: 1. Some interest-based groups discriminates against Aspies and other PSEs - through outright banning, and even people who worked in Autism groups also look down on those...

It seems nowadays everywhere you look, "natural" is in. We are told that we Westerners in particular live in an unnatural, unsustainable society. There are even some who eagerly await its collapse so that we can all go back to living the way we ought to be. In their eyes the Original Sin was...

I was accused as being a clone of an unpopular member of Singapore Bronies Society. What's more, someone who sucks others' asses, just to get reinstated and to be credible. Good riddance. Nonsense! The moderators seem to have a certain level of prejudice or preferences for different people...

I hope to work as an accountant for a few years, before quitting my job after a while - this means, a long while after I get the Australian citizenship - and I hope to go back to school and do a graduate degree - be it in social work, sociology, or even mathematics. Here are the list of...
Every Friday between 7am and 8am the carer came into my flat to collect the laundry, but discovered that I too needed laundering because I was so dirty, so she told me to climb into the laundry basket. She then took me and the clothes together along to the laundry. On arrival at the laundry...

I have a personal identity crisis going on, and I want to seek help. (1) Nation Recently, in my local Brony society, there are new guidelines issued by a practicing lawyer (himself in charge of the society), and they are, in theory, not enforced: The thing is, some of us can't conform...

I support the PAP (the Singapore ruling party). I love the PAP. I even think, and still think, PAP are the only party that will uphold the interests of all Singaporeans, even though news and Internet sources suggest otherwise. It's not because of my MP or Ms Phua, or even Sir Harry Lee...

For Whyamistillalive.
The thought of social workers or psychologists needing to get a master's degree, and this is the norm for Singapore... It's a boiling feeling of resentment. If we look at Ireland, this academic requirements kind of pisses me off. We invest in so much education to yield so much stress, even...

Ink smears. Pages bleed. She cries, while he sleeps. The rain pours. Puddles splash down in the street. The shouting stopped, fists stayed at their sides. But peace has failed; her heart still breaks. The phone rings, a neighbor concerned, paces. The phone stares and she ignores. The flowers...
