Can a man (and I really mean male here generally) behave one way when you’re interracting with him person-to-person yet be a bully, a despot on the road when behind his wheel?
I mused about this as I witness the drama unfolding in front of me.
My family and I were enjoying the ice-cream at Udders in [...]

受宠若惊
工作非常时期也正是分辨出我周围为我好的真正朋友, 或所谓的fair-weather friends.
结果令我大跌眼镜, 让我受宠若惊! 原来在我这个独行侠的旁边, 有这么多关心我, 鼓励我的人! 这包括我的直接上司, 通常只是擦肩而过的同事, 还有一位(也只有那么一位) 我从前鼓励过的朋友兼同事.
我感动, 但是更重要的是它刺激我反省- 我太self-centred了, 如果是另一位同事经历我所经历的事物, 我会同样的给以支持吗?
我需要努力, 更努力的关怀我身边的人, 学习认识其他人的需要, 然后积极帮助他们.
对我来说, 这是非常困难的事…

(Time filling conversation until dinner is over, soon after which I had made [...]

In a relationship?
As I wrote my last post, I stopped short in the middle of the sentence “…. before my SO and I were in a relationship.”
Why does “in a relationship” narrowly define only that of 2 people dating/are in a courtship together?
Doesn’t that imply that friendship, kinship and familial ties are not relationships?
This is a symptom of our increasingly compartmentalised lives [...]

Emotions
If Dr John Grey is here, he will say there are generically 2 popular ways by which we deal with unpleasant ones. The Martians will bury it and woe betide the person foolish enough to dig it up (accidentally or otherwise). While the Venusians will wallow in them to the point of drowning themselves and their [...]

Response to ST’s “More kids born to unnamed dads”
I read with sadness the Straits Times article on how there’re many more babies whose birth certs do not have the dad’s name on their birth cert.
If you’re in my generation, during our Primary School years, you would have heard the term “Latchkey kids” bandied about, with society bemoaning about how kids born from such [...]

Angst…
[To people in general: I understand that there are more acute and severe forms of suffering that others are going through now: repression, persecution and even threat of death for some who are trying to fight for their nations' ideals, threats of death and even real death for people who had died for their faith [...]
