I think I might have just “cursed” myself into having a fever and asthma attack! A few days ago, I was thinking to myself:”WOW! It’s nice to be so healthy; I haven’t taken any MCs for the past 4 months. I wonder how it’s like to be sick again!”. BOOM! I had a fever of 39 Degrees on Friday which subsided to 38 degrees. I thank God that, actually my rate of recovery is quite desirable as usually such symptoms will take 4-5 days to taper away.
My visit to Changi Hospital was an interesting one. As most of you know, erm I’m referring to those NSFs or people who enjoy queuing, JOKES =) ; that Poly-Clinics are closed on SAT and Sundays! So, I had to go to the Hospital.
Initially I had thought that it will most likely take 1-2 hours tops but it took me 5 hours!
When I walked into A&E, the nurse took my temperature with a reading of 37.8 degrees, I was lead to an enclosed area, which in a sensewas rather reticent for me. When I opened the door, a very familiar sight appeared before me! It had occurred to me that 90 percent of the patients were TEKONG RECRUITS!
I went ahead with the registrations and preliminary checks. Sitting in the middle of the recruits and reading Sigmund Freud, I could not only read about how Freud’s brand of psychology revolved around SEX, I had also overheared the recruits discussing about the art of “kenging”(malingering). But, I judge them not, I understand that such practices are common as certain events like Field camps can make normal people crazy and crazy people like me even crazier! Anyways I waited half an hour for the Doctor.
I totally didn’t expect that the events that was going to take place! LOL ! Subsequently, I was diagnosed with asthma and wheezing cough. No, it’s not the Pokemon Weezing but rather, a type of sound or symptom that is predominant in asthma patients.
I was then given nebulizer treatment for 45 mins! After the treatment. I waited for another 2 hours as the doctor wanted to see if I’m doing well. She asked me some question which I think I over-analyzed LOL! She simply asked me if I was breathless and my answer was:”Mdm,what is ur definition of breathless?Ur question is rather empirical,I don’t trust my senses cuz of the fever”(I would rather be tested using a “concrete” method.Thermometers,Heart rate meters and weighing machines cannot lie but emotions can).Doc:”Haha, I understand emotions are subjective but your thinking too deeply”
I knew I was thinking too much……..Sigh………Mid life crisis? NAH!
1) Influx of foreigners
I had a weird idea, actually I have many weird ideas! I was thinking that if I’m put in charge of immigration and handling immigrants. I willactually ALLOW more FEMALES to be citizens as compared to males and the homo-sexual counterparts. In ancient times of war, many which you can read in history books, when a country wins a war and besieges another country, they will kill and imprision the males but leave the females alone. Of course, I’m not talking about genocide and killing foreigners but rather asking the question WHY did the ancients do that?
The question is simple! Biologically, that will make much sense! When the females are left alone and treated well they will be integrated into the new Establishment. Personally I believe that women should be treated with respect. The stories that I’ve read are cruel and disgusting! But anyways, the principle is that, the women will marry the males of the new power and they will in turn boast the population rate.
I think, if more foreign women are integrated into Singapore, although that itself may not necessary boast the rate of marriage or population but that can be a variable. My sister asked me :” What if these foreign women are marrying our SG men for the wrong reasons? I.E getting a citizenship”. Being a realist my answer is :”It does not matter, because at the end of the day your example answers itself, the women will still stay in SG!”
Let me set the line straight, I do not condone to Poly-gamy, treating women as objects of inducing babies nor genocide. What I am trying to show, is that, for every 10 foreigner that migrate to SG, letting 6.5 be women will be more productive.
I think what PM Lee said was quite intelligent:”If they stay SG will have more foreign talent, and if they go, we will have global contacts around every corner of the world!”
Am I Pro Pap? I believe that there’s no perfect Establishment except Theocracy but for now, I will go with Pap……..LOL
2) Homosexuality
Well, recently I’m more exposed to the realms of the “curved” way. Don’t worry brothers, I’m not one of them even though I walk among them. There was this movement, “The Pink Dot”. It’s basically a movement that condone to being Gay or Lesbian. The freedom and liberation of admitting to being a gay/lesbian without the prejudice and objections.
To me, whether Evolutionarily,Christianity-wise it’s wrong. I DO not hate the person but I do not agree to the practices and actions. Note: I did not write that religiously it’s wrong because certain religions don’t abhor or withhold sexuality, Thailand has the largest database of Buddhists but prostitution thrives in the same place. Oh the idiosyncrasy!
Ok let me substantiate. I didn’t use the moral argument because I understand that people can twist and turn to make it sound “alright” morally. Just like Logic can be twisted if the premise is wrong. Example : Men are reptiles, reptiles have 4 legs, therefore men have 4 legs!”, logically this statement is valid but is it true? Tell me if you have 4 legs and need to regulate your core temperature =)
Evolutionarily it’s wrong because homosexuals cannot produce children therefore the population is doomed. That is an argument evolutionists and atheists used to debate against Theists.
Christianity wise…..God made us men and women. Some gay christians debated and used David and Jonathan’s(not the same David and Jonathan from Hope Church, one of them is attached, and to a beautiful godly woman) example to plead their cause. I think that argument has a lot of loopholes. No where in the bible did it state that they were gay.
My main contention, once again is that I don’t hate the man or woman but the practices.
3) Building people
People who can think 5 heard ahead of time build Condos and Sky Scrapers. People who can think 10 years ahead of time build Iphones, Computers and Ipads. But people who can think 100 years into the future build other people!
Jesus Christ is one such man! You can deny Jesus is God, you can deny His teachings but you CANNOT deny His impact on the world, and the thing is; man oh man, I don’t have the faith to be an atheist! I’m extremely impressed by teachers and care leaders! They are the ones that impact the future. If my bible knowledge is correct, Jesus said that we are going to do even BIGGER things! Amen!
