Awaken to compassion

Love with it's twist and turn, in the wind it vanishes. Like the Moon and the stars, behind the mountains it sinks, Love that is accumulated over a thousand years. In the Morning Fog deeply etched it is. As beautiful as it appears, fade away it must, in the vast sky i stand. Looking outto the ocean, my heart flows with the river, towards the depth of the sea. It slowly disappears.

Money or Life??

Recently, i came across a ex-colleage in my new company. I was shocked to see him there at first because he was meant to be in China and not in Singapore. For a moment i though that he's just giving "model answers" for the reasons to leaving the company. After finding out the real reason, i was taken aback by the incident.

Lucky thing is that this incident did not happen to him. He was meant to be holding a high salary + manager post in China+ free housing and stuff. These seems great on the outside. On the first day of his work, the HR told him :" Don't go out after 8pm". He was puzzled and asked why. The reply was that the security was not good. He didn't take it seriously.

A few day later, one of his colleague was found lying on the main road with both hand and leg veins all cutted. This happened during the day time noon. A lot of passer-by saw it, but no one helped. My friend immediately resigned. He don't want to risk his life for a highly paid job. Now, he is pay more than 1K lesser but he is contented and happy, because Singapore is so safe. So happy to be in Singapore. Well, i love Singapore and i'm proud to be a Singaporean. But , we need to educate the "ugly Singaporeans" , there are quite a few out there....

nodz.. Singapore is safe indeed but we can never let our guard down especially when there's terrorism lurking around.
