I think it didn't happen cos not much people are interested or daring enough. If i'm not wrong, it was raining that day??? If 20 or 40 or so people meet up,  I don't think it'll have much of an impact cos they didn't cover a large area. But if they still do it with a small group, then I guess it's silly and a waste of time. I did sign up but their emails to me and discussion forum are in chinese. What? they think only chinese are interested???

Number 1 rule - You don't own anyone. Anyone doesn't own you.

If the other person decides to do something,it's the person's own will, you can't stop it but you are free to judge it and decide yourself what to do. One important thing - Don't let ANYONE control how YOU FEEL. You are in control of that...NOT THE OTHER person.

You have to be HAPPY & SECURE with YOUR OWN SELF(ALONE) first. Make your SELF complete first and then get into a relationship to share that completeness and create a better world together with the other person.

Judging from you wrote, I think you're not there yet. But it's not too late to get to know yourself MORE.

Yes, GO ON and start asking yourself...

WHAT IS LIFE about?

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE about?

WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU?

You'll realise that your answers will change in years to come.

If it's so obvious that the other person displays bad qualities, let the other person knows and if he/she doesn't care, feel free to live YOUR LIFE and be happy and move on. Stay single and pray for the next best person to come by :)

DON'T WASTE your time/energy like what you did.

Man & Woman have so many differences, it takes A LOT of work to make the relationship work. That's why there tends to ALWAYS be arguments. It takes A LOT of maturity.

Sigh, blame those cheesy love drama series/movies that is programming kids these days.

 

TSUICHUK! Update us...

I just got an email from them...but it's in chinese. Even in their forum,they speak in chinese :( I don't understand. I could only read that they plan to meet at cineleisure and their time schedule. There's even a 'backup plan'.

Come on. You're alive! Have fun for this '5 mins' out of your whole life! It'll be quite a spectacle and most probably it'll be in the papers and you're PART OF IT!...a few years later when you're much older, you'll look back at the memories with your friends and all involved. Come on...make SOMETHING HAPPEN! Take a pause in your life for only 5 mins to think about the miracle of Life...and let others take a pause in their lives,smiling..scratching their heads...and wonder what you are doing too haha.

I have this. The 'light' on the umoment is soothing. Yes,it's worth the buy. The 'crickets at night' is my favourite :) and you know that nice feeling you get when it rains with thunder outside? I use that sound too sometimes haha. When i'm in a zen mood, i switch it to another of my fav which sounds like I'm in a buddhist temple :) There's a function where you extend and slow down the sounds.

Interesting!

both tube, red and you, has been banned LOL!!!

But one of the other 'tube' out there is still accessible. Most of you visitors of that particular site know which one i'm talking about. xx Now should that be banned as well? Part of me says yes and another says no. hmmm

I think blocking these FREE sites is a good idea because ANY one, even a kid CAN access it. I myself have accessed and honestly enjoyed these FREE sites but at the same time I get so turned off by A LOT of the undesirable actions that are portrayed and I did think about the kids that has accessed to this. I applaud the government in their actions but why now? not sooner? and it's also very close timing with the posting of the 'Youporn rankings' entry in sgforums.

Not that I dislike pornography cos I watch it myself. I believe that it's better to restrict access to it because children who are very young has not yet reached a maturity level to understand what sex is and what are its consequences if not handled properly. Only those aged 18 & above can view & access. I envision a time where a citizen in Singapore has to go through online checks to prove that they are 18, and finally access to healthy pornography is legal.

But..not all 18 yr olds are the same. It all comes down to education & awareness while growing up!

Yes, that's what I'd like to call it - Healthy Pornography.

Cos I've seen some undesirable ones and it appears to be unhygienic, careless, violent and some of them deviant. But there's also good porn that I believe is very beneficial for humans sake!

One thing that irritates me is that when some people see the word 'PORNOGRAPHY', they tend to think it's all about men having sex with women. And we have people saying that it is actually degrading women. Well, I do agree partly with that but that's a whole other subject.

Is viewing nude photos/videos that involves NO SEX not considered pornography?

People know PlayBoy but do they know there's also PlayGirl? There are also same sex porn in the whole mix.

Personally, currently I do view pornography onlne that deals mainly with males and in no way are these people who participates do any sort of destructive actions that could harm them or anyone else (physically or emotionally). and voila! No women involved!

Since we are all humans, I believe we are all NATURALLY attracted to beautiful faces & bodies. To surpress the need to freely view & appreciate this natural beauty is simply nonsensical. I'm talking strictly about the simple naked body..

I myself have gone through some bad experiences because like many of us, we are told that this or that is 'dirty' and so we repressed parts of ourselves. I reached my teens and without going into a long story, I went on a search for pictures of nudity and for a long time looked out for those vcd pirates that sells porn vcds but there are none that can be easily found. It turned frantic at some point. Once I found the internet, I finally, and it's a BIG FINALLY, finally, I get to see a real naked body of a grown up, something which I've not been exposed to while growing up. Isn't there something wrong there?

Here's what happened - Viewing the pictures brought out some sort of convulsions & shivers from within me! It's a feeling of pleasure but intense. All this just by viewing the naked body that is not even doing any sexual act. I know this sounds crazy but I believe this energy is actually all the REPRESSED thoughts and feelings that are stored in some part of me throughout the years. Soon, this shivers dissipates and stop recurring. I believe the release of this 'repression' was very beneficial.

Throughout the years, I continued to view porn when I can & honestly I'll say that now at the age of 25, I've developed a good sense of what is good & bad about sex and how to deal with it properly. I can look at it and even control myself appropriately.

I'm not sure what an extremely sexually repressed person will be as time goes by but I know for sure that it is not healthy for the mind & body.

Education from young age is crucial. Knowledge of the the broad subject of sex will also do good. This is totally another topic to be discussed. For eg. too much sex is too much and...conserving of one's sexual energy has great benefits.

Sometimes we read news about sexual abuse & also about some priest doing something undesirable. These are signs that some part of them have not been explored & expressed properly. It's unfortunate growing up repressed and furthermore in a repressed community.

But I'll also say this - Sooner or later, mature ones will outgrow their need for sex (and porn). Be it because of old age or other matters like spirituality which I myself is considering.

Legalise porn but only allow healthy pornography. Wow, that is a big challenge for the government here? Educate your children well too.

what about the sites where you have to pay? What if someone uses their credit card to buy membership? Is it ok in Singapore? I mean..for private viewing.

One of the more positive 'feel good' song that remains my favourite all these years.

I won't reveal to you what they ALL do but just scroll to the bottom and watch the video :) They sang 'Singin In the Rain'...but just wait. wow, I wonder what will happen if a Singaporean sports team do this at City Hall or Esplanade....haha!

wow, you shouldn't have placed his picture here. I'd advice you to remove it now. Please do so now. Anyway, I have the ability to read people's faces and his eyes tell a lot about his character. But it still boggles my mind that such a bad person exist. Well, I don't meet much ppl anyway. I think he has some issues while growing up. hmm..why would he do this to anyone? sigh...but I hope you learn from this.

squarepants, don't anyhow say he looks like a prison convict. To be honest, I do find him attractive, sexy even...but it takes me some time to get to know someone.

Computerm...I sent you a private message.

I am so confused. It is a very long story, I like this guy and he has been my classmate since primary school. He offered to walk me home today as we both study in Woodlands and we both live at Yishun. I already had a big crush on him since primary four just that when I told him he always rejected me. But it was really different today. I knew I had to muster up the courage to tell him again that I liked him and asked him to give me a chance. Instead of the usual rejecting by acting blur, he said, "I really like you but I have a phobia of something." Then I was already really sad because I am getting rejected again. I asked him what he said he doesn't know too! I really like him and I really wish we could be together, our friends said that we are very compatible to. I really need and like him and that like has already blossomed into a love. How can I pursue his heart?

Sheungjoy...this is a little weird but I was taking a bus from Yishun at around 4:30pm+++ and it stopped at the traffic light near GV. I was looking outside the bus window and I saw 2 students, a boy & a girl walking slowly. Both are not talking and the girl appeared to be shy. While waiting for the light to turn green, he offered to carry your file or something and just grabbed it from you. both smiled. aww so sweet to observe this 2 kids :)

I was wondering is that both of you??? haha

and I wonder what is his "...a phobia of something". hmmm...I think i can use this as a title for a short film :D

In my experience, if you're getting a digital camera, try NOT to buy those with retractable lens...where they go in/out whenever you zoom in/out. My previous 2 digicams end up with the lens stuck in the open. Here's my advice..TRUST me, get the SAMSUNG NV3, good picture quality PLUS other features:

not so simple one lar. if it's so simple to self-diagnose yourself, why then would shrinks need to study for so many years....

I have went through so many panicky,stressful & extremely weird situations way before I know about those disorders. Believe me,I'm not using this as an excuse. I have gone through many,I mean many situations. I keep asking why..and then researched it myself. Yes,through books first and then internet...via websites and especially forums. Shrinks need to study for so many years - that's how they know the symptoms,the treatments for it and make theories & books on it. Yes,it's not professional diagnosed...but it is highly likely that I'm right and only I know this.

When was this recording done? AFTER the incident occured? and what's the purpose of letting us listen to it? What I really want to know is...
WHY do you think the teacher hit you?

I can emphatise with you about the matter & it made me read the whole post because I experienced a similar thing 16 years ago in primary school.
It was also a MATHS class...and the teacher hit me on my head very HARD with his hand. The force nearly made my head hit the desk. It took me by surprise...shocked me. It just stunned me into silence and choke. I remembered the reason was - I was not quite paying attention. My friend made a joke and I laughed a little..and then BAM! - got hit. He then pointed out that I did something wrong on my maths problem. I couldn't remember well..it's still a blur from that point onwards.

This was the same teacher that scolded me infront of everyone on the first day of school because I came late and didn't allow me to get in line in the school hall or even the class. It was not my fault I was late. I did not even know this new teacher appointed to my class..or even his name. On the 1st day of school..and he began it this way for me. It was quite traumatic, I scrambled around the school,not knowing what to do and cried...feeling lost when everyone is already in class. I called my parents finally,choking back tears..and I only entered the class when my parents complained to the teacher.

This was the same teacher that beat my friend hard on his back and humiliated him infront everyone. All my friend did was point out a good move to this teacher who is playing checkers with another classmate of mine. I can still remember how shocked he looked..probably scarred.

There were many incidents from this primary school in all my years spent there..even before the above incident. Many scars..even before the abovementioned 'scar'. Other bad & dull memories..some disturbed my young mind. Got slapped hard a few times by this female teacher for not walking in line and another time in class. Stand up while everyone in the school hall is sitting down...just because I forget to bring something. It was ...quite traumatising. Some of you might go 'huh'...but a self diagnosis I realised recently revealed that I might be a high functioning autistic child or even Ausberger. My parents missed all the signs. It was there...but I won't blame them, they don't know anything.

oh..the memories flooding back. Getting hate looks from teachers & the parents of a friend I accidentally hurt. I did not intentionally hurt you my friend..I grabbed that thing from you because you did not returned it back to me and it shocked me when it scratched your arm. That young,I was scared of the teachers and going to school is a dreadful experience. Looking back, my paranoid side..even thinks that the school is standing on a 'bad area'. The darklings feed on negative emotions...and has probably affected many going to that school...including the teachers.

Looking back,I can tell you guys,it has affected how I expect people to be..and having social anxiety disorder(again,self diagnosed)..and avoidance disorder.

TEACHERS - Young minds are sensitive and need proper nurturing to grow up to be an emotionally & mentally healthy human. PLEASE treat young minds with care. NOT EVERY KID IS THE SAME. You cannot punish & treat every child the same way. TEACHERS - Do not let emotion or personal matters affect you in school. I know it can be hard but think of the child's future. and lastly. TEACHERS...PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THE EVIL EYE to your students. By this,I mean,giving them that stare when you're angry with them. Till today,I still remember some of those stares from teachers. I really felt that they were angry and hated me. This has contributed to my disorders.

I planned to write a more detailed article and submit it to Today or some news paper,coinciding with Teachers' Day but I just felt compelled to just write here today because I don't even know if I get to write in next time. Some of you might not understand me...it's ok. At least,I'm voicing out.
