DEBATE.
Motion: This House Believes that Progressive Societies SHOULD Legalise Organ Trading.
Proposition:
I believe, that by legalising organ trading, would provide more protection to both the donor and the recipient. this is due to the fact that there would be a 'non-existent' middle man who might actually swindle both parties. furthermore, by legalising organ trading, both parties can legally go to proper hospitals for proper procedures. this would therefore increase the survival rate of both parties.
furthermore, this would provide those with kidney failure with a new lease of life without going through the hassle of waiting for a donor. however, this organs would only be affordable to the filthy rich people. well, that's precisely my point. since they are rich, they have a big part to play in the economy. hence, letting them live longer might actually bring good economic benefits.
Opposition:
However, i feel that this should not be the case.
living in a progressive society implies that people are generally being more diversed in their beliefs and hence adopt different religions. many countries world wide have multi-racial and multi-religion citizens. knowing this, Islam and Christianity are the two religions which believe that our body is a gift from god. therefore, we should not alter it when we are alive to the best we can. others, however, feel that it is fine. now, when a government legalises the trading, who are their citizens supposed to trust and follow? their religion? or the law? now, this would cause unrest within society itself due to the conflict of beliefs.
Lets just say, that this TRADING INDUSTRY, is legalised. once legalised, definitely commercialised. onced commercialised, there would definitely be a fixed price on each organ. now, how do you actually slap a price tag on something so valuable? furthermore, are you trying to say that you can actually "buy" your life? saying that you can pay $75 000 to live for another say, 7 years? does life really have a value? or, is it so precious that you should never place a price on it, or in that case, ANY of your organs?
well, i'll leave it to you to decide. heppy scrutinising. haha

Dilemma.
Ok people... today, i met a guy who works in a refueling station at Changi Airport. Got info that 300 SIA pilots were asked to go on a NO-PAY LEAVE. damn. well, currently, i'm with the SYFC ( singapore youth flying club) and hence, i'm looking at a job prospect like say, a pilot with either the RSAF or SIA. Ok. Here's the deal. Currently, there aren't that many Muslim Fighters in the RSAf, if there are any at all... so, my dream of being one of the few muslims in singapore to travel twice the speed of sound are really slim. looking at SIA, the guy i met said that a first officer with SIA earns about 13K a month ( including travel allowance), however, this job is vulnerable to the economic conditions. the RSAF is free from all these economic crisis shits but chances are slim. if i do join the RSAF, i risk becoming a transport pilot. eeeww... SIA captaincy takes at least 8 yrs of flying experience. by then, my pay will be wooohhhooo!! haha... i know i still have another 2 years till N.S to decide, but, i want re-assurance... haha. help anyone?

Heritage.
As many of you may know, today is CNY. and as most of you know, i'm chinese. and being a decendant from chinese ancestrates, i celebrate chinese new year. i do not know how many of you chinese out there feel this way, but, i feel that we only celebrate our heritage once a year. do you really think it is enough to so called,"preserve" our heritage? i doubt so. personally, i feel that our "culture" is fading away. and i'm not only refering to my chinese heritage, but also my malay heritage. i mean, cmon, i went visiting just now, and the teens nowadays no longer wear their traditional costumes. instead, they're wearing t-shirts and jeans(as if they were visiting their friends) to visit their older relatives. there's no spirit in that sense now is there? all i'm saying is that, since these festive seasons come only once a year, let me just urge all of you to just respect tradition( if it doesn't kill or hurt, its fine lah) and just go woth the flow of the festival itself. well, that's all i have for today. good night ya'll and have a pleasant day ahead.

Eve of the Eve of CNY.
Damn spring cleaning. Damn Singaporeans who don't freaking know simple courtesy.
oh well, i guess that's not what the world's about. hah. anyways, had my reunion dinner. AWESOME STUFF. honestly, i don't think it was necessary coz i meet my relatives every Saturday night, but, somehow, the vibe of CNY reunions are a little more awesome. shagged out by spring cleaning, but it was all worth it. haha
anyways, back to the ugly singaporean.
i went marketing for reunion stuff this morn (weird? i know. niwaes, moving on). after grabbing my stuff, i went to queue (and natural tendency is to stand behind the last person. right?). suddenly, this arsehole tapped my shoulder and said, or rather insulted me by saying," OI! YOU BLIND AH? CANNOT SEE THAT I'M IN THE QUEUE AH?"
well, actually what he was refering to was the basket which he had placed by the side of the aisle. thank god i was a patient muslim. honestly, i felt like kicking his basket away and saying,"now its not in the queue. so, what're you gonna do about it?"
and i swear to god, if he had touched me, i would have muay thaied his head till his eyes got freaking swollen. then i'll ask," now who's blind?" hah.
anyways, i just gave him a glare that even i would've been afraid of. and just walked off to the back of the queue. damn ugly singaporeans. what happened to courtesy?
