News in today's ST

Japanese PM Fukuda resigned....in US, the republican VP's 17 yrs old daughter is pregnant and her own problem with regards to her own family's troubles....just to show that everything is normal in this chaotic time.

There are earthquake again in China on Sunday, Hurricane "Gustav" battering the US Gulf coast, the devastating floods in India.....millions of people are suffering from these and not to forget the situations in African countries eg Sudan, Somalia and etc.

News in Singapore....16 yrs old boy sneaking off with brother's car and got killed after slamming into tree and that protest is allow at Speaker's corner.

From the look at the above....guessed that you have to agree with me that life in Singapore is pretty much better in term of personal safety is concerned and people are very much better off.
So....we must remember to pray and give thanks to whichever god you believed in. And that this can continue. As for myself....every 1st and 15th in lunar month, I will go and pray2 to as many gods as I can tahan to give "thanks" and "pray" for personal safety and good health for my loved ones just for the next 15 days until I come pray again becoz one cannot see too far in the future in the present time. Weather can change suddenly and at any time, or when we drive, walk, eat and when doing our daily tasks...anything can happen. So....best to remember that it is in your interest to complete your task one at a time ( best to complete the task at hand before you start another one). Don't try to take on too many things becoz multi-tasking will not give the best results that you or other may expect.
