BAd Mood Monday. Couldn't you tell?

1. Been stuck in something uninspiring and time-consuming. It's frustrating. Wish it'd end. And it soon will. Ironically, that makes it even more uninspiring. Agh.



2. Watched a clip by Martyn See that carista posted on her blog. It's also on singaporerebel.

Agree that the needy needs help. Think he would have made more of a contribution to society if he used his talents to stir up awareness and compassion, not finger-pointing and insinuations. But in any case, i don't think his portrayal was a fair one.

First, i don't think every case of poverty/ old people having or wanting to work is the government's fault.

Plus, I think there's a limit to what the government and big organisations etc can do. They have a part to play, and are responsible for providing the infrastructure and systems - like public housing and CPF etc. But there will definitely be some who fall through the cracks.

I believe that the duty of loving and caring for these people lies with all of us and not just the government. I believe that VWOs, and compassionate individuals who feel the ground and truly love people, are able to help at a more targetted and timely manner.

So, really, the finger points at us. At me. At you. Let's do something about their needs, not figure out whose fault it is.



3. Quite like the PM's National Day Rally. Especially the 30 year HDB lease for old folks thingy. That's cool. and helpful. But still no pay raise for me =(

Plus, really, the work life balance thing still hasn't been fulfilled properly. But it looks like it's gonna be forgotten soon.



4. Drank too much BS water. Now LS. =( Was marking and LS-ing the weekend away... and i am exhausted. =( I want the hols to be here...



5. N Levels and O levels are coming up. Activities and projects are unending. Help.


Lastly...

Sorry if i was nasty meany bitchy today. It's not you ok? It's me.
