Newspaper viewCongrats to Singapore for winning the Silver medal in Olympic Woman Table Tennis Team!! You all have done us proud!!
Article 1Was in AC room with Dinesh, WeiZhen and Kama and we were reading newspaper and came across this artical about Russia attacking Georgia. So we was debating on Quality vs Quantity. Quality in terms of the capability and ability of the army and quantity in terms of the number of the army. So basically, we were debating whether a small army with the bettest brain or a big army with lousier brain will win if they fight agains each other.
From my point of views, I feel that a small army with the bettest brain will win. Why? Because:
1) A better brain will know how to make use of its limited resources. Just like even if you are the wealthiest country but u doesn't know how to use it, you are still useless and your country can't grow.
2) A better brain will have better technology and thus, their tanks, guns, armour, ship and aircraft will be better equipped. This will in turn increase the "life" of the army and make them stronger. Like a better equipped tank is equivalent 10 lousy tank.
3) A better brain will have better coordination skills.. Whatsmore, the army is smaller and it is easier to coordinate and thus, will maximise the potential of the army.
4) A better brain will have better strategy against its enemy. They know when to attack or when to retreat. When to rest and when to run. They know how to utilise the surrounding environment to their advantage. This will reduce the risk of being killed.
Imagine Country A with 300,000 strong army but without brain fight against 30,000 army who have the brain and ability. Who will win? I seriously think brain is more important than number. If Singapore, with a small army but technological army and great leaders against erm I****?? Who will win??
OK. Enough of fighting. Just hope that peace can restore in Georgia.
Artical 2Than, there's another article that say "what do you hope to see in Singapore after 20years?"
One of the funniest answer that I saw is "to have a bomb on every taxi drivers brain so that if they were to went into hidding during peak hour, their anxiety of kena caught will silently set off the bomb and killed the taxi driver, leaving the taxi intact for better taxi driver to drive in..." HAHA.
So what do I hope for??
1) Hope to see ERP on every small, medium, big road of Singapore but none of them are working but only for decoration.
2) GST to increase to a whopping 50% but pay increase to an unbelievable 100%.
3) Ever Singaporean to say "Arhlow, how are you ar? Today wherther beri hot hor. Haf you eaten ler ma? Haven ar? Don't like that leh. Treat me eat la. Ive don't want next time dont call me liao lo." Ya. That's what make Singapore a unique country because of the "ar"," hor", "ma", "leh", "lo" and "la", SINGLISH!!
4) To have a fine that say "Fine $100000 for the lack of space in bus and train".
5) Have a rule that says "Singaporean who think that they can't live past 85years old can apply for the DES-"Dieing Early Scheme" so that you can continue to collect your CPF after you are nearing 70 years old.
6) A campaign to increse the birth rate of Singapore that says " 1 only no money, 2 only abit money, 3 only got money, 4 only more money..., 10 only millionaire..., 25 only billionaire, 30 only trillionaire, sow(female pig) and you are aire-pork"
Cheers~
