was reading yesterday's papers and i realised that there was an article on the main page of the straits times about the birth rates in singapore.
singapore has like one of the worst birth rates in singapore.
and the government is trying to boost it badly.
they are trying to implement more benefits i suppose.
but the point is, what's the point of having benefits?
when a couple wants to have a baby, they would not need benefits to go with it.
they don't have children just because of the incentives and bind themsleves down for the rest of their lives just for a few hundred dollars. what's the point?
they have children because they want to be tied down, and wan to have someone to bond their relationship together.
oh well, if the government really wan to solve the problem, i think they should dig into the roots of the problem.
and the problem has nothing to do with benefits.

pardon my flare up in my entry.

it's just that i feel things should be dug deeper and don't just look at the surface of problems.
you might think that whatever you are doing is right, but you might not know actually how wrong you are.
problems don't arise in one day, and problems don't get solved in one day.
don't expect miracles, unless you can perform one yourself.
learn to move on, don't dwell on what cannot do done, or what cannot be yours.
everything in this world is fated.
if it belongs to you, it will belong to you.
no matter how much you wan to avoid it, or escape from it, it still yours.
and somehow or rather, it will return to you.
but if it's not meant to be yours, what's the point of holding on? it doesn't only inflict more pain on you, it also inflicts pain on everyone around you.
if you look around, you'll see how everyone around you actually cares and bothers.
but do you actually realise it? no you don't.
because you're in a world of your own.
you don't care about the world around you, but the world around you cares about you.
so pls, don't torture us anymore, and don't torture yourself too.
let go my dear. let him go.
*this section of my entry is dedicated to a friend whom i care a lot about, and so does grace and nadia.

p.s i loVe yoU
