Beautiful Seed
A beautiful song by Corrinne May, 1 of the best local talent SG has. check out the lyrics, its really gd!
You can fill the darkness
with just one flash of light
Break the silence with just one word
One defiance starts a revolution
One life can save the world
On the steps of Washington
Sprinkled like confetti
Thousands of people sing
"We shall overcome"
The preacher shouts:
"Let freedom ring"
He gave his life for what he believed
You can be a witness
You can be a prophet
You can make the whole world believe
Break the strongest fortress
Change the way the world thinks
You can build a bridge where
foes can meet
Hope for the future
Shout it, don't whisper
Dreams are what we make of them to be
There is hope in every heartbeat
Tiny as it seems
You're a beautiful seed
She's a pastor's daughter
She's only 16
But her heart and her belly
are breaking at the seams
Her boyfriend blames her
he wants to pay for the doctor to wash it away
As she lays in the hospital
A Christmas choir is singing
About a child on a manger
fragile and small
"Unto us is born a Savior"
She looks at her baby and cries
as she sings him a lullaby
You can be a witness
You can be a prophet
You can make the whole world believe
Break the strongest fortress
Change the way the world thinks
You can build a bridge where
foes can meet
Hope for the future
in the tiniest whisper
Dreams are what we make of them to be
There is hope in every heartbeat
Tiny as it seems
You're a beautiful seed
Every hope, every power
lies in the heart of a seed that flowers
Intertwined all across the land
We're all seeds in the maker's hands
-----------------
We're all beautiful seeds waiting to blossom 1 day. I believe, 1 day we will... determination, ya.. for those who need this frm time to time, jiayou jiayou!

When Carmen lost her hair ...
A tale of rejection
THIS is Carmen's story: "I was taken away from my mummy as a baby but was quickly adopted by a new family. Perhaps, I was too trusting but I believed that if I gave my love, that was enough.
"Just after my first birthday, I started getting a rash that the doctor said might be genetic. I never complained, trusting that my family would help me through it.
"Little did I realise they had already decided that I was too much of a burden.
"One day, they bundled me into the car. I thought we were going for a nice walk but instead they stopped near a deep canal and threw me in. I cried and cried but they just walked away.
"I spent my days in fear and hunger. There was no day or night, only darkness. My only companions were the rats hovering nearby, waiting for me to die. With no food and only sewage water to sustain me, I thought it was only a matter of time …"
It makes your blood boil to read it, doesn't it?
Now, here's the catch: Carmen is a dog. She was found by an Action for Singapore Dogs volunteer starving and completely bald. It took five long months of caring before she could be restored to the beautiful Boxer she once was.
If she were human, we would have had communities baying for blood and authorities scouring the country to bring her adopted family to justice.
But seeing as she is "only" an animal, hers would just be yet another sad story of abuse and neglect.
It is not the first and it definitely will not be the last.
"Don't be such a bleeding-heart animal-rights activist," some people say when I start telling them stories like Carmen's. "They're only animals. Shouldn't you be more concerned about humans?"
Why should I? Humans have lots of people fighting for them already and they can speak up for themselves; animals cannot.
Research has shown that the true mark of civilisation is how we treat lesser beings.
The more gracious a society is, the more it is likely to look after animals. Carmen was thrown into a drain where many people passed by but did not bother doing anything.
I wonder what that says about us as a society?
A few years ago, I went on holiday abroad. The first day was wonderful, with great service, good food … and friendly stray dogs that were the delight of all the guests.
The next day, four grim men strode towards the dogs. The dogs trustingly came forward expecting the usual pats.
Instead, they had their necks placed in a cruel noose and dragged, whining and choking, across the lawn, in full sight of all the hotel guests.
I burst into tears. The woman beside me lost her appetite. The hotel explained that they got rid of the dogs "so that you could have a better stay".
We all checked out the next day, appalled that our comfort came at such a cost.
Animal abuse has dark repercussions on the human world, too. When the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) examined the lives of serial and sexual killers, cruelty to animals regularly appeared in their childhoods.
Mr Robert Ressler, who has spent 16 years with the FBI's Behavioural Science Unit, noted: "The torturing and kill-ing of animals would be a rehearsal for what was to come later in life."
Mass murderer Jeffrey Dahmer, for instance, used to cut up animals, stick their heads on sticks and show them to other children.
An Australian Institute of Criminology study released last month found that three out of 11 Australian serial killers abused animals first before moving on to people.
A study by Northeastern University found that 70 per cent of animal abusers had at least one other criminal record and 40 per cent had committed violent crimes against people.
So should we not be worried there are so many serial cat killers in Singapore? Every few months, we hear of cats being tortured or killed here. In 2006, more than 20 cats were found dead in the western part of the island, strangled with shoelaces, heads smashed in or throats burned.
The case is still unsolved. Maybe the killer has reformed or maybe he has just moved on to other — bigger — things.
You see, it is not so bleeding heart to be concerned about animal abuse. We humans have vested interest in catching and punishing the abusers — unless you fancy meeting in a dark alley a cat killer who has decided to try humans for a change?
Tabitha Wang would love to adopt Carmen but can't fit her into an HDB flat. If you can, call Action for Singapore Dogs at 9259 0698 or email info@asdsingapore.com.

Saw this headline on Today Newspaper n it immediately caught my eyes for obvious reason (hahahahaahha!!!). After reading further into it, well, agree with me or nt, i somehow shared the same sentiments with the writer; maybe its a better choice to spend more time n effort on animals rather than human beings.
these helpless little beings r innocent naive n too trusting of their owners n ppl ard us, in this world n age, how can we ever find a grown up adult who can b so pure n innocent? Humans r complicated, selfish (everyone is, 1 way or another) and evil (admit it, we r all corrupted by all the so-called life experience we've been thru).
Even if u tot they r the most trusting person u can ever find on this face of earth, but who noes, he/she might jus turn his/her back n walk away from u 1 day, leaving u in the slumps. But dogs wont do tat to u, they remain loyal, trusting and ever so forgiving when u do make mistakes. moreover, they r really helpless when u wan to do evil things to them.
Maybe i'm juz beginning to think, as time passes n society advices, ppl become more "educated" & "experienced", we will all gradually become 连狗都不如.
Feel free to rebutt me or anything, i love debates on human issues. haha..

迷失了...
I'm somehow lost...
Where's my direction? maybe i juz need something to point it out for me... a little hint maybe?
I just need to keep the faith n i kept reminding myself: everything happen for a reason. i believe things are the way it is due to some reasons tat i'll b grateful for later.
岁月不留人, 若能把时光倒回, 可能... 我什么也不会改变... 因为Everything that had happened, happened for a reason.. if not for those instances of the past, i might nt b who and where i am today.
ironic? maybe... well.. because this is Life.
I realised there is something inside of me tat is really weird.. maybe its the sign of really growing old.. *shrug

Went to watch jacky cheung's concert yest with tx. he is really gd! sang & danced for 3 plus hours n still so energetic! his voice is really powerful n the same as CD quality lor.. even get to see him perform a mini 音乐剧. though 170 is steep i tot its worth the $$. he performed several cantonese songs which really remind me of my childhood days whereby my bro will let me listen to his songs. i listened to them so many times tat i can actually sing the songs without knowing wat the lyrics actually mean. haha.. aye, nostalgic again..
When he performed 如果爱 i get particularly emotional.. reason being.. well... ha.. *shrug* also, when he sang his last song, 祝福 i really find the lyrics meaningful.. esp the part:
几许愁 几许优
人生难免苦与痛
失去后才会懂得去珍惜和拥有
.....
Guess some of us still at the nostalgic stage although it has been 2 weeks le.. today the nex batch of students leaving for shanghai, same time, same flight as the 1 i took on july 08. haha.. well..

Rayne Li has officially become my name to look for jobs n in the future, the name my colleagues will use to address me. i juz think i need an english name as jianghan juz sounds so weird n cheena la. haha.. well, thx to carmen the stm ger for the name as she helped me tweak the name i originally wanted to b called to become rayne. hee...
so life in SG isnt tat sought after anymore.. been really lost n bored really.. kept comparing life in shanghai with my life now. seems like i've lost my freedom, the fun, the weather, the cheap stuff! things in sg is so freaking exp n the weather is HOT! the food is much better though n due to the fact tat i miss them so much, i put on weight by kept eating la. haiyoh..
no more mala, no more taiwan wai mai, no more wang lao ji, no more da mu zi cheap carrefour, no more yummy lays n pocky, no more xiao yang sheng jian & guo tie, no more cheap clothes n continuous haggling, no more big serving n lots of flavour cup noodles, no more cheap jap buffet, no more sardine squeezed mrt, no more walking/strolling ard wan bang, no more sports day at the tennis court, no more meeting @ the circle of trust or the security guard post near blk46, no more weird taste water tat cannot b drank directly, no more dianping.com or mapbar.com or baidu map.com, no more dirty toilets & kitchen, no more scraf & jackets or trench coat, no more nightfall @ 5pm, no more sgd2-5 ktv or ktv buffet, no more no mum naggings, no more fun frenz ard me 24/7...
gosh, the more i think abt it, the more depressing i feel. oh well, life has to move on ya... n its difficult to go ahead if 1 keeps looking back. so ya, i hav to put it behind me as gd memories n move on steadily..
spent the entire on job hunting today. sent quite a few resumes n hope there will b replies. despite my colourful job history, i nv been thru a proper interview b4... so i think it will proved to b another challenge. anyway, job hunting sux really bad... i feel so lost now.. wonder which path will b end up at. this time god seems to withold any form of direction he used to provide me with.
But at least i accomplished quite a few things today which i'm quite glad abt... tml will b watching jacky cheung's concert. haha.. exp leh.. $168! aiyoh... really broke aldy.. then there r 2 bdays coming up.. so.. well, its time to get really broke n i decided nt to get allowance frm my parents anymore, time to b independent n my brokeness will serve to b a catalyst to push me for job hunting. hahaha..
