Ignorance.

What really saddens me is when at times we don't understand the importance of having foreign workers and treat them like animals. Whenever we walk pass a group of Bangladesh workers resting under the HDB blocks, the first impression of them would be thinking of them as low-class human beings. Meanwhile there would be stereotypes going around that Banglas would be commiting the crimes and it's dangerous to be around them. Recently, there has been a video circulating online. Apparently a group of students decide to do a project on the lives of the Bangladesh workers and interviewed them on their lives. After watching the video, a feeling of remourse surged through me. It was as though we have always taken those workers for granted. The truth is, those workers have no choice but to come over to Singapore to do hard labour in order to support their family back in Bangladesh.

After a long pause, I realized that it doesn't matter at all; Blogging is all about writing and expressing our own feelings. I have read many blog posts by other bloggers and I find nothing in common. My conclusion would be blogging doesn't necessarily need to be perfect nor having a topic to talk about. In order for blogging to be effective in helping users express their feelings, everything must come natural. Therefore, I have came to this decision; I shall go natural with every post on this blog from now onwards. Melaka Trip. ( 10 March - 13 March 2012 ) There has been nothing much going on lately. I just came back from Melaka this Monday and I must admit that everything went pretty smoothe and the entire getaway was pleasant until the last day when we were about to get back. That fateful morning as we approached our cars, we noticed something really shocking.... Apparently so
