My mom is ill with vertigo. They don't know the cause yet. I hope its nothing bad, i sort of couldn't process what happened when my dad explained today.
I Wonder what will happen to me when my mom dies. I don't have any friends, siblings or close relatives. My parents are all i have in this...
I saw someone that went to the same college as me. Same class. It made me remember how horrible those days were. I had no one and i was constantly scared not knowing how to act. How to make friends how to pretend.
I was so depressed and emotionally unstable. Sometimes it feels like i never...
I only ever wanted to feel safe but never did not even as a child. I knew i was different and dirty and always made to feel like that. I am not surprised that i imagined my parents were not my real parents and that my real parents have died in a fire. I never felt close to neither of them and...
I originally posted this on the writing forum I'm on in honour of the Feast of Saint James, (July 25) I'll edit it slightly to remove anything stating that today is his Feast Day.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, adoring and asking something of him.
Who said to...
There is that song i listen to once in a while. It speaks of 90s and the childhood of the singer. It made me think of my own Childhood and i burst into tears while listening to it. But it felt good. I thought of myself as that Child, wanting to have fun and bbe innocent but all the while not...
I miss my old best friend still. I feel like i am losing part of my youth, my old self day by day. I have another friend from those days that i still talk to thankfully. But this friend was special.
I am Just living without a purpose, getting away from the things that made life magical day by...
We do have the potentials to make better best use of talents to build up our society together.
We want to expand our societal potentials, don't we? We want to have more friends and more wisdom in our lives, isn't it? We want to exert our wills independently without prejudice to the furthest...
You may wonder, why do I bother to set up an interest group for AC users interested in Southern American culture. Well, I think Southern America is much more positive as a culture than Singapore, for a Singaporean like me.
It is because while I do not deny I am a Singaporean, I am, first and...
The Member of Parliament (working in a similar function to a Representative and/or a Senator in the United States) representing my electoral district, termed a constituency in my home country, is simply useless. He has a negative track record of working for the good of the disadvantaged...
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...
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 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...
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 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...
As a teenager, it is when I found myself at odds with both my being as a teen, as well as an Aspie. Why can't I be like any other person? I feel that I lived through dark ages with little Aspie support, that has only been given after my teenage years (that is, around 3 years ago).
How...
I enjoy reading this quote.
'I'd rather be hated for what I am, than to be loved for what I am not'
- This is a classic quote by my favourite singer, Kurt Cobain. His style of angry grunge music expressed the frustrations of Generation X (those growing up in the early 1990's) and later...
Written by Keng Ann Yap, Tigris and another contributor in a forum, but I have to share these views here because it's simply too controversial to be put on a thread.
A friend of mine asked me for my views about this article which offers an insight into the challenges faced by young people...
