"Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people"
damn.
i'm gonna die young. but at least gin and jean will be sending me off ((:
that's something to be glad for.
and "Polar bears are left-handed"
maybe i were a polar bear in my last life -_-"


back to my cip topic.
i think it's good to be a volunteer cos' i get to meet the kids of every level.
presch to junior class and to senior class.
i met kids with downsyndrome, autism and mental retardation
and they behave differently though they have the same illnesses.

they was this kid with physical deformities like a protruding chest, a kid with feeble knees so he wore knee guards through the day, a kid who loves strings a lot, a kid who hate PE.
and according to sis,
the kid who loves strings love strings due to autism.
autistic kids tend to focus on something and their lives are driven by that something. they are very focused and apparently very smart as well.

and the sweetiest thing ystd was this kid taking my hand and kissed it.
((:
so sweet.
and his hands were so smooth. the rest of the kids as well ((:

delight. happiness. satisfaction

latest news
W P got a seat in the parliament. but according to my bro, the GRC upgrading might be slower cos' he doubt they will have enough funds for the lift upgrading and blah blahs
he envisioned that borrowing of funds from the government might be hindered as he's part of W P but not P A P
according to my parents, the rise of votes for opposition has rise tremendously.
this shows that citizens now perhaps might start to have a mind of their own.

but i am glad enough.
i don't really want to see a single party parliament.

talking abt elections directly is very risky.
let's use a metaphor: types of economis; monopolies and oligopolies.
economists dislike the formation of monopolies. monopolies create price hikes and reduces consumer's welfare.
with oligopolies, businessmen will tend to make the economy more competitive and promotes consumer's welfare
(note this importance of consumer's welfare, afterall all that matter to the voters.)

furthermore, with more opposition party members in the parliament, laws passed will undergo more stringent debates before they are passed.
afterall, P A P still have a large margin over the opposition parties


(all comments are purely writer's comments and should not to be taken seriously by any readers of this blog. Furthermore, writer has been desperately trying to quantify her sentences with no absolute statements so as to open views for further discussions.)


and this led me to another question
should a country focus more on economic development or social welfare?

but many examples have shown that economic developments most probably stand a greater priority in the goverment's eyes.

enough of politics.
i hope i wont get into a trouble.
but if blogs are just abt nonsensical rantings,
then WHAT'S THE POINT of broadcasting?
