YET ANOTHER OFO BIKE GET ITS LOCK REMOVED AND REMODELED! WHY LIDDAT!
NETIZEN CAN”T UNDERSTAND WHY SOME STUDENTS CAN AFFORD OVERPRICE SUGAR LOADED COFFEE BUT CAN’T LET GO OF $8 FOR STUDENT LIFE!
With the whole hubbub on that $8 student life fees issue, here’s my $8:
You’re only letting go of that $8 once a year and you’re only gonna pay for it at most 4 times in your entire life – will that really hurt your pocket that much?
I’d understand if you were financially tight (but to be fair you’d have bursaries/subsidies in place to already take care of that so it shouldn’t be a big deal in the first place) but if you’re living a relatively normal life why is that $8 such a big deal?
You wouldn’t mind letting go of $8 if it was a large-sized overpriced sugar-overload coffee but when it comes to stuff like this you start crying “it’s too much man!”
Sure, you might not participate in CCAs and you’re not one of those people who queue up for welfare packs. But other students do. There are people like me who look forward to that free foolscap that comes in every welfare pack every year. There are people who appreciate the free snacks that come inside the packs because free snacks. Maybe you wouldn’t appreciate them. But it’s not only just about you, isn’t it?
And what about those CCAs who do voluntary work? I’m sure part of what that $8 funds are those CCAs as well, who probably have to use of those funds for fundraising and their voluntary efforts. It might not directly benefit you, but isn’t it good to fund something that benefits society?
It’s about time people stop thinking only for themselves and think about others as well, because the world doesn’t revolve around them.

NETIZEN CLAIMS THAT LOCAL STUDENTS ARE THE SOME OF WORST PEOPLE TO WORK WITH
photo for illustration
Frankly, the local students whom I have projects together with are some of the worst people I have ever worked with (I asked a lot of foreigners about this matter and got the same experienced described from them) and then I have worked all over the world with people from very different cultures. Here are some tips for you Singaporeans who might ever consider pursuing an international career:
1. When someone ask you something – reply. If it’s in a group chat it does not have to be right away, but ignoring for days is simply rude (yes, you can see when people have read the message in WhatsApp as well). If it’s in person, just why? Who does that? Acknowledge the person ffs.
2. If you disagree with something someone says – speak up. That’s how you come up with new things, together. Don’t just go quit, dismiss that person as not good enough followed by ignoring whatever suggestion he or she might bring to the table later.
3. Don’t divide everything and refuse to meet up during the project. That’s not how you work together as a team. If you don’t discuss subjects properly, using your different point of views, the work will never flourish. Furthermore, the assignment might end up being shit since you are likely to be working toward different things.
4. If you don’t understand something an foreigner is saying – ask again. It’s completely understandable. But don’t turn to the other local group members and ask them to explain what ‘he or she’ is trying to express, when we’re still in the room. That’s just rude.
5. Invite all members into the discussion. Turning your back to the foreigner (literally), followed by using a lot of singlish words which we do not understand, is not to include someone.
P.s: I’m aware of the shortcomings of some of the exchange students (not doing their part etc), but it does not make above mentioned less relevant.

MY ELDER BROTHER LIKE TO PICK ON MY WEIGHT ISSUE BECAUSE I BEEN CHUBBY FROM YOUNG!
photo for illustration.
My elder brother M and I graduated from NUS with PHD in statistics years ago. We then applied for the same job at a normal company and managed to get it fortunately.
The job wasn’t simple for us at start but things always get easier when we work together. All problems would be solved eventually. It would be an understatement to say that he is a valued colleague of mine. I believe he feels the same way towards me too.
However, he got 1 massive issue towards me since young and have carried on till now. He never like me putting on weight and have always wanted me to be as small as possible. As a girl, I admit that i am quite chubby but at least i have a great personality. I am never negative and generally been positive throughout my life unlike my brother.
Why do people care so much about appearance? Why do people come up with so many methods to reduce weight? Why cant people take a 2nd moment to appreciate our personality and not overlook them? One day, i finally mustered enough courage to ask my brother just why.
Me : “Kor, why are you so mean towards me when its about my weight? Why can’t… you…” I stuttered as i saw his eyes started flashing in red. After a momentarily pause, he shouted : “Variance Sigma Square, you better start losing weight before i get people to apply reduction technique on u” . He stormed off right after saying that.
Oh well, why do i even bother. At least I have a cooler name than my brother “Mean Mew Moo Mu”. Maybe one day i just split into 2 and fight him.

NETIZEN IS THANKFUL FOR ICA OFFICERS FOR THEIR SACRIFICE ON PUBLIC HOLIDAY !
It’s Deepavali morning. 5-30 am, Changi Airport Terminal 1.
Our officers, including Hindu colleagues, are hard at work, manning immigration and baggage counters.
I am leaving for Laos this morning for ASEAN meeting on disaster management. I am happy to meet our hardworking officers and wish my Hindu colleagues a very happy Deepavali.
I shared some muruku with them. A special breakfast on a special day!
To all on duty this public holiday, thank you for your sacrifice!

FRIENDS ARE GOOD AND THEY ENRICH YOUR LIFE!: AMOS YEE IS CURRENTLY LIVING IN Illinois!
I am very surprised that I managed to find many great friends around the world on the internet over the past few years, and they have genuinely enriched my life. Friends are good!
Now more importantly because the area I’m living here in Illinois is very remote, has only 40 thousand people and so very few opportunities to socialize outside, online will play a much larger role in helping me meet and interact with other people.
So (f**k I hope this doesn’t sound desperate), if anybody who’s been following my work for some time wants to TALK or BE FRIENDS, don’t be shy and feel free to private message me here on this Facebook page to contact me (Basic I am (name) + small introductory info + how you know and think of me etc. 1st message is good) and if you seem interesting and nice to me, I just might respond.
Friend thing aside, if anyone wants to contact me for whatever reason too, messaging me here on my Facebook page will be most effective in getting hold of me. (If you prefer email you can email me at [email protected] though I probably won’t check there as often).
Hope to meet a lot of interesting people!

POLICE AND SINGAPORE CUSTOMS ARRESTED 44 MEN AND 11 WOMEN FOR ORGANISED CRIME!
In a large-scale operation against a suspected organised criminal group (OCG), the Police and Singapore Customs have arrested 44 men and 11 women, aged between 19 and 79, for their suspected involvement in various forms of criminal acts such as unlicensed moneylending and gang-related activities, operating illegal gambling dens, as well as the possession, dealing and storing of duty-unpaid cigarettes.
On 14 October 2017, officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Singapore Customs conducted simultaneous raids at more than 10 locations islandwide, including Ang Mo Kio, Geylang, Sengkang, Toa Payoh and Yishun, resulting in the arrests.
This is the first joint operation by the Singapore Police Force and Singapore Customs against an OCG since the enactment of the Organised Crime Act 2015. Both agencies are resolute in our enforcement and investigation efforts against OCGs. We will spare no efforts to continue to disrupt and dismantle these OCGs and deprive them of their ill-gotten gains
