Watched a rather thought provoking show today. It's called "Blood, Sweat & Takeaways". I chanced upon this show while channel surfing earlier. It is about a group of 6 young people from UK that travelled to various countries in South East Asia, to learn about the hard truths. A realisation of how their food comes about and what is involved.

After watching the show, it really brought alot of thoughts into my mind. Have we become so uncaring to our surroundings? By surrounding I mean the world as a whole. We have become so concerned with ourselves and take things for granted that we forgot about others. We want things to be cheap and affordable. Yet, cheap goods do come at a price. A price that the workers will have to bear, in the form of lower wages. It was really sad to see how workers having to work long hours in poor working environments in order to earn that amount of money that some of us would call "loose change".

Perhaps having compulsory National Service is a good thing afterall. It allows us to get out of our comfort zones. Allowing us to see the hardwork and effort that goes into keeping something running. Learning on the way about caring for one another even in times of suffering.

If I have the time next week, I will catch that show on TV again. Must watch.




You can respect a person for many reasons. Whether is it for their achievements, seniority, positive attributes or even through the way he/she has impacted your life. Respect is something that has to be earned. Once lost, it will take a long time before it is ever restored.

You see, we can all identify people whom have caused us to lost our respect for them for whatever reasons. Sometimes I really wonder, where has their sense of pride and dignity gone. Do they not care or simply can't be bothered at how others treat or look at them. Or is it a problem of arrogance?

I don't consider myself to have a relationship with you. Wait, you never had a coversation with me. What relationship to talk about right? Perhaps a miracle will happen one fine day. Yes a miracle.




If I have a choice, I would live my life with a much slower pace. Do things at my own pace and take a walk through the neighbourhood in the evenings.

Sometimes it does cross my mind that perhaps human beings were not made to live such a fast pace life. Imagine all that rushing and rushing ultimately leads to nothingness? I'm not talking about rushing for a train or a meeting, I'm talking about the ultimate goal. The place that we are going to end up when all has been said and done. It is eternity.

There are only two paths - One with God and the other being without. Which would you choose.
