Lamenting...

An attempt to fortify the security of internet transaction, has been executed at the expense of convenience, with my computer system, albeit running at Windows 7, not able to activate the payment system, rendering the now toughened internet transaction useless.

Rain!!! Finally!!!

God has a plan for everything, even if is not in one's immediate foreseeabiliy of His wisdom. Trust, that's all He asks.

Our plight seems slight in the eyes of the southern government, who with high pride, only manages the issue with a heart too light.

On Thu, my plan was to finish marking by Sun.

On Fri, my plan was to finish marking by Mon.
Yesterday, my plan was to finish marking by Tue.

I guess it isn't too hard to guess what my plan is today.

Nobel Prize Is Seen as Rebuke to China

Few nations today stand as more of a challenge to the democratic model of governance than China, where an 89-year-old Communist Party has managed to quash political movements while creating a roaring, quasi-market economy and enforcing a veneer of social stability.

Yiheng, you write of a bohemian style, arcane it inclines, yet such scribal pedantry will find no practicality in today's lingustic modernity, marring your intended lexicality, and henceforth rendering void, communicativeness.

Mr N Speaks

As the examination comes to a close, will it be joy or woe for the candidate?

Mr N Speaks

In a suburban town of USA, a family, who failed to pay for fire service subscription fee, witnessed their house burnt down; the fight-fire team stood by with their fire-fighting equipment, refusing to barge.

It was the sheer monotony of assessing work that Millionaire City flourishes during my respite.

Mr N Speaks

Could it be the time of the year where voluminous workload envelops one, causing one's immune system to fall below par?

Mr N Speaks

Does the Commonwealth Games celebrate the integrity of the former British colonial states in the Commonwealth, or a remembrance of the waned colonial hegemony of the United Kingdom?

Mr N Speaks

What can be sweeter than having her dedicated most of her lifetime with you in love, and enough memories built with you, and for you to luxuriate? A legacy of memories, she would have left you.




Mrs LKY, RIP.

Mr N Speaks

Beneath the veneer of an iron man, lies a husband whose unfailing love lingers even as she succumbs to life's natural course.

Mr N Speaks

Singapore won her first gold in shooting at the Commonwealth Games. Congratulations. May we have a brighter shine on the international sporting stage.

Mr N Speaks

A comparison of the ticketing system employed in New Dehli 2010 with Singapore 2010 thereof, is akin to juxtaposing Third World with the First, as anecdotally evident from BBC World Service.

Mr N Speaks

The discussion of the past, irreversible though it may be, ought to be encouraged, if such discussion leads to a betterment of the future.


Fought war must be discussed and in fact, studied, for the incumbent government will then realise how violence will only beget more violence, and not mitigates any wrongdoing.

A thought

Maybe hedonism ought to be a primary pursuit in living, yet life, beset by the hegemony of survivability, affords one to only taste the fineness of life, finely.
