Irresponsible Celebration at Punggol Yesterday
Saw this sight this morning. The crowd was here since 7pm and I could hear celebrations all the way until midnight. This morning, there was an unbelievable amount of litter left all around this beautiful park at Punggol.
Learning Chinese has become too difficult for kids today, and that’s not okay
Learning Chinese has become too difficult for kids today, and that’s not okay
Is it just too hard for kids to learn Chinese in Singapore schools? This mum-of-two explains why she thinks the answer might be yes – and why that bodes ill for young Singaporeans trying to develop a love for their mother tongue.

I'm no longer proud to be a Singaporean
25 and stepping into an unknown job market, where money is so unstable, housing is so expensive, and transport fares are increasing whenever the govt want to... I served ns as combat fit, went through all the shit with my bros in a fairly nice but shag unit. We suffered but loved our time there. I felt proud during my service, but now the realisation hit that we served a country who's leadership doesn't love its citizens first, doesnt appreciate singaporeans. Instead they prefer foreigners more than locals, love the rich from other countries, while its own citizens suffer doing grab deliveries, working overtime, staying in cheap housing. EH ITS OKAY come enjoy some gst vouchers, enjoy some CDC vouchers. But how can we enjoy the loss of identity, where everyday I go work, I dont even hear singlish most of the time now. Singapore may be a country I call home, where the rivers flows or wtv... but I no longer feel proud of calling myself a singaporean, and its diving deeper into a depressing and sad state...

National Library Board Big Book Giveaway
Arrived at 10am to be informed that the queue is going to be 3 hours long and the queue snaked around the entire building… While I really appreciate the effort of the NLB staff and volunteer to show up on a rainy weekend morning, less can be said about the organisation of the event… There was no clear indication of where the queue starts and no communication between staff and volunteers either. Within the 20 minutes we tried to queue, 1. We were told by a volunteer to join the queue and follow the line as it snaked around 2. Found out that the line was literally going in a circle 3. Told by a staff member to join a new queue 4. Then after 5 minutes told by another staff member that the queue was closed 5. Said staff member was then rectified and told that the queue was still open but they advised against joining as it would be 3 hours later 6. Told by a third staff member that the queue was closed and to leave as it was getting too crowded 7. Saw people still joining and forming a queue and enquired. Told by a fourth staff member that I really should go for breakfast and come back in an hour. At this point, I just left the queue because I was literally walking in circles for half an hour and made no real progress. Oh, and the queue snaked and curled around a hole in the building where the rain was pouring through… nothing was being done to move the queue somewhere sheltered esp. given how slippery the floor became…

Is 41-42 too old to be a first time father
Recently talking to a few friends. I had some work and financial issues when younger and put off dating in my late 20s and early 30s. I endured a very bad break up with a girl at 33 who hurt me badly. Then Covid came and things got worst from there. I recently have been talking to a few different people since and have been surprised at the backlash I received from saying I have a desire to be a father..........many thinks I am irresponsible at wanting to be a father at my age. For what it's worth, the backlash that I am receiving is coming from locals and local ladies. I feel like the local scene is more harsh towards older men who wants to be father. Now financially stable. Have my own 5-room HDB flat, renting out the spare bedrooms and earning income. Is anyone else experiencing the same?
