Beautiful Ladies



If you happen to read or stumble upon this blog post as a result of the picture of the lady above or you have googled for "Beautiful Ladies" and have hence arrived at this blog, then this just underscores the high premium society places on beauty.

Who does not want to be born beautiful in life? Being born beautiful is definitely an asset to one as society prides itself on looks. Just look at the revenues raked in by the beauty industry: we have laser therapy, slimming, hair treatments and more! It is partially true that people with good looks
tend to succeed more in life, a study I once read has indicated.

However, what is beauty to me lies in the beauty of the heart. Imagine if you encounter people with good looks but whose personality is terrible and have bad demeanour, whom you still consider them as beautiful. Beauty is often in society terms just skin deep, we should look further than this and look at the beauty of a person as encompassing both heart, mind and soul!

Even the most beautiful person will fall victim to age and soon his or her looks will soon fade away with time. Then stripped of all the good looks, can this once-handsome or beautiful people still be as beautiful? Yes, provided he or her personality is beautiful.

A beautiful person is not only beautiful on the external. A beautiful person is kind, caring, nice, considerable, helpful, fillial. It is really sad that most men in Singapore still love to oogle at pretty young things in the streets, especially with the influx of the China Chinese ladies here in Singapore. I really hope that those old married men whom the China Chinese ladies target do not fall victim to their shallow beauty and neglect their old wives, who have went through thick and thin, suffer hardships with him. To desert their old wives who are not as attractive as the young bitches, these Singaporean men deserve a beating.

Let us celebrate beauty from the heart and not to celebrate those artifical temporary beauty. I am always angered when our local TV channels choose to hype up those beauty shows featuring pretty women and now handsome men! Media is very important in shaping the opinions of the society. These shows should be disencourged but as people love to watch and see beautiful people, local channels will still produce such shows all to gain viewerships and revenue!

Vernon Leong Jun Wei

What happens to the 31 year old bride groom, Vernon Leong Jun Wei? As the news of this latest unnatural and bizzare death developed, it seemed that Vernon did not jump from the 24th storey of Hilton Hotel as was believed earlier. There were 3 video camera footages which might prove otherwises for the cause of Vernon's death. The first video footage showed Vernon at the 24th storey, making his way hurriedly into the fire escape staircase. The next video footage showed Vernon at the 2nd storey which also holds some shops and the final footage showed an unconscious Vernon motionless at the ground of the hotel. Vernon was cladded casually in a T-shirt and pants and have left his hotel room while his wife was taking a shower. It seemed that he might be escaping from something or somebody or that he might be chasing after something or somebody. What did Vernon see and experience at his last moments? The police is still investigating the case. It is really a very tragical and sad

Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Amidst the blazing afternoon sun today, my Dear and I made our way to Kampong Lorong Buangkok. The visit was a timely one as there is such a high buzz being generated over the last kampong in modern Singapore. After alighting from Bus 854 from Eunos, it was not difficult to find our way to the kampong. The entrance of the kampong was distinct as you could see from the picture: the 'ulu-ness' (rural charm) is evident from the attap-roofed buildings and more unkempt conditions. A signboard with hand-written text welcome my Dear and I to the last kampong in Singapore: As we entered the kampong, I spotted a middle-aged woman talking to an old man. I had seen the old woman before on TV. She was none other than the owner of the kampong land. In the documentary, I learnt that the whole kampong land was passed to her by her late father. She has kept the land and have not gone on to sell the land to the government. If she were to sell the land, she would be an instant multi-millionair

Performance Bonus

It is the time of the year civil servants receive their performance bonuses (PBs). In the coming two weeks, civil servants will not only receive their performance bonuses, special ‘growth bonuses’, would also await them for the very first time. These PBs and growth bonuses are only applicable to performers, defined as officers with assessed performance gradings above the ‘D’ grade. Typically, civil servants receive their performance bonuses in March, a 0.5 month of bonus in July and a 13th month plus AVC in December. Are all the bonuses good? To be frank, the bonuses dished out in Civil Service are averages at best. With the various bonuses being given out in these months: July, December and March, a civil servant who would like to quit would most likely try to find a ‘suitable’ month to quit so as not to forfeit his bonuses. The December bonus is generally the most generous portion. To quantify for this bonus, an officer would have to be in service till the end of January ne
