SERIOUSLY.. is this the kind of society i live in?

I tried to interview 2 companies: one government stat board and one private corporation for my sociology project. I sent them interview questions (I actually bothered to think abt what to ask, type it out and pdf it for one of the companies) via email. They replied me saying that they would help to look into the questions i had posted to them.

BUT..
The government stat board didn't even bother replying directly to any of the questions I asked. Instead, sending me press releases, and new paper articles that i can refer to, essentially refusing to make any statement whatsoever. SERIOUSLY?! If you are not in the position to give any comments, then refer me to someone else in the organization who can, right?!?!?! And if you are, but you are refusing to comment (for whatever personal/corporate reason, then TELL ME.. and i will find someone else). He/she was really beating around the bush. I think i may have to conjure up something for him/her to write in my project since there is really not much time left. I thought i'd give him/her a chance to say something for him/herself.

The private corporation on the other hand, emailed me and said there was a discussion with the research team and they want to find out what is my point of view before they comment. UMM.. doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of my interview?!?!?!

I AM SO FRUSTRATED AND SO DISAPPOINTED WITH SINGAPOREAN COMPANIES, GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE ONES ALIKE!! WHY ARE PEOPLE SO AFRAID TO SAY ANYTHING?!?!?!

Its just a small term paper and i'm trying to learn about society and your company.. why do u make my life so difficult?

pondering about LOVE

"i love you"

does anyone even know what it means to say that?

i get quite skeptical when people say that freely, as tho words carry no weight or no gravity.

but then again, love in itself is an action. so what is the point of telling someone that, when it requires so much more than mere words.

and if your actions have been doing exactly as it is to love, then actually saying it doesn't even matter that much anymore.

so.. love needs to be proven, not just verbally declared.



i am sure of Your love.

Who am I - Casting Crowns

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours


My commitment:
- respect my father, love my sister and mother
- yield to Him every single day of my life
