Who says?

Here's a short short story. About a bird and her partner =)
I cried. When I read it.
Hope it touches you like it did me.

Little sparrow swooped too low...and got hit by a car.
She sits on the sidewalk, unable to fly.

Her partner hears her cry and flew down to her aid.

Unfortunately he could not carry her.
He couldn't help her.

Realising she was about to stop breathing, he called out to her.

Finally, her heart stops.
He grieves over his partners death.

And stays by her side...

And who said animals do not have feelings?

"Venture capitalist"

A venture capitalist is a person or investment firm that makes venture investments, and these venture capitalists are expected to bring managerial and technical expertise as well as capital to their investments.


Normally venture capitalists borrow money to businesses who cannot receive loans from bank. What I want to bring about are "venture capitalists" who are a little close to home...


AH LONG!


Everyone knows who are Ah Longs and what they do right? Individuals who lend money to stupid people. Usually for gambling debts. To be honest, I don't think people who gamble are very smart. Wait, let me rephrase that. People who gambles money away and need to seek help from other people to settle their debts are idiots. I have nothing against rich people who's looking for ways to spend money.


I remember I read this comment text in the newspaper. "Get Ah Long's off the streets. They are ruining peoples lives." Or somewhere along those lines. I beg to differ with that statement. First things first. Ah Longs don't ruin peoples lives. People ruin their own lives by developing a self devotion to gambling. Everyone knows the terms and conditions before Ah Longs borrow money. 1. Daily interest. 2.Must repay by due date.


Correct?? Very clear right?


Yet people still go to them. I don't get it. Don't give me that, "They were desperate," shyt. Life's full of choices. It just depends on which you want to make. Yes these 'businesses' are illegal and should be stopped. But think about it. How many businesses are straight nowadays? I seriously don't blame Ah Longs more than do I blame the people that borrow money from them. People don't run businesses that don't make money. Ah Longs are not stupid people.


So you want to curb the illegal borrowing culture?


Get everyone to stop borrowing from them. There is no business to run if there is no demand.

grownups and freedom

Grown ups have freedom (Duh!). It's not exactly what I want to blog about. I think most parents have a problem with giving their kids freedom. Oh come on, admit it! Anyway, this post is mainly for parents. Even if you're a single parent, normal parent or parent-to-be. Point of view or confession from a teen. Actually legally I'm an adult.. but I am still living and dependent on my parents. So I'm still referring myself as a teenager (or I'm in denial! lol).


It's about time I went to my point. I'm crapping too much. Here goes..


I'm actually very fortunate to have parents who care about me enough to be protective over me. I admit every parents need to be protective. It's a part of nature anyway. A tigress would kill anyone who goes near her cubs. It's parental instinct and is understandable if not acceptable. But being over-protective is another thing.


With all due respect, I hope you don't get offended when I say it is annoying. Why do I say so? Us, teens (teens meaning aged 13-18), mind has developed a lot since we've been in primary school. Shouldn't parents begin trusting us already? If not, then when? I'm not saying as parents you shouldn't worry. I'm saying that parents should be confident with how they've raised their kids to be reliable and trustworthy.


If you're worried that your kids might be mixing with the wrong crowd, take the liberty to encourage your kids to bring their friends over once in a while. So you'd be able to see what kind of crowd your child is hanging out with. I'm pretty sure most parents would've also taught their kids what kind of people they should mix with and what to not. Also, use your own judgment on your child's character and thinking. There are some teens who mature faster than other. Not trusting them to find a good circle of friends is an insult to their intelligence. Again, this is how it gets annoying.


Another point I want to make clear. Never accuse your kid for anything. You might be thinking, "Who are you to tell me what to do? You're not even a parent." I want to remind you again these are all confessions from a teenage mind. My only hope is that parents begin to TRY to see through their kids eyes. Back to my point. Do NOT accuse your kid of going to a cyber cafe when they haven't. Do NOT accuse your kid of lying if you don't know for sure. This will only spark flames. AND you can forget your kid ever telling you anything anymore. Serious. Think about it. What if someone accuses you of something you didn't do? Wouldn't you feel offended, if not irritated? Try not to aggravate your kid. Unless of course you see (see with your own eyes not some proof-less news from someone) your kid doing something they're not suppose to. Then of course, I have no objection with you carrying out any forms of punishments which you feel suitable.


Us, teens know our parents worry. But, please allow space for us to grow (I didn't mean physically). Of course don't expect us to be the perfect daughter or son. We're humans. People screw up once in a while. You can't protect us forever. You can't always prevent us from making mistakes. Only try to prevent us from making the BIG ones.

teens and freedom

Today a younger friend of mine complained about his dad being too protective over him. I've never seen him so pissed in my life! Well, I only knew him for a few months. He's actually pretty mature for his age, so I was surprised that he exploded. Though I'm glad he can confide in me.


I tend to forget how annoying parents get when they're overprotective. Maybe because my parents are hardly like that. Or, not like that anymore since I am already...oops, I wish not reveal my age. Anyways.


While my friend was spilling his heart to me, I started reminiscing about when I was his age (which is not very long ago! Don't start thinking I'm an old goose). I remember whenever I wanted to go out with my friends, I had to be chaperoned by my mom and their moms. Remember, Strawberry?? There was this one time we invited some guy friends out with us too (totally oblivious that our moms were actually following us). Got busted (Duh!). My mom was upset of course. Not because I invited guys out but because I lied to her about going out with my girlfriends only.


Come to think of it.


If I were a mother. I would be worried to let my kid (daughter or son) out with their friends too. Why?

1. Are her/his friends good influence? It is very scary to see teenagers hanging out in alleys. Smoking. Smoking weed. Going to Internet cafe's with spikey haired tattoo-ed people. I seriously wouldn't want my son/daughter to grow up like that. If they really want to do it, they can. When they are no longer financially dependent on me or their dad. By that time they're old enough to make their own decisions on what kind of life they want to live.

2. Where are they going? Can I really trust they are going to watch a movie? Can I really trust they are going to watch a DECENT movie?

3. They are still 'my babies'! Sadistic rapists and kidnappers are running around freely in this unpredictable world! (I object if you said guys cannot be raped too. I remember this case where this sick man kidnapped a boy and shoved a stick up his ass. True story. I swear.) Will they be home for dinner?


Because my kids are my flesh and blood. Of course I would worry, I worry about almost everything what more my own kids? They will always be my babies, even after they've grown white hair and needs a cane to walk (if God allows me to live so long to see my kids grow old! Which is unlikely). Prevention is better than cure. Maybe teens should start seeing things through their parents eyes to see where they're coming from. No parents want to torture their kids for fun (if there is then they can go rot in hell).


But of course parents should also try to see things through their kids eyes. Which is what my next post is going to be about.
