With reference to the blog post at http://www.temasekreview.com/2009/11/19/singapore-declares-its-recession-over/, I would like to just “pen” my thoughts here instead of commenting too much over there. This is also a reply to some of the comments in the post.

Disneyland and Universal Studios in Asia???

Not being prejudiced against the American Franchise but I personally think Whites won’t be all that hyped up in Universal Studios or Disneyland in Asia even with their Asian theme. Where’s the spice in that? And it just killed my dreams of taking a flight all the way to the other side of the world to see something that we don’t have! Now, I’d be comparing the 2 theme parks instead of being amazed with just one.

I love the idea of a theme park here honestly, but why not be a little different? Like an Anime theme park. Get a consortium of all Asian fiction companies and make a huge ass theme park out of this world. Make it so different that the people from the other side of the world would visit Singapore just to let their kids poke on Pokemon or something? It seems to me that the other side of the world are already in love with Asian cartoons for quite sometime now…

Yeah yeah, I know, they gave it to the highest bidder or whoever proposed to them and no Asian Anime Consortium came up to them with a proposal that was out of this world. I’ve posted this, and I can’t patent an idea, but I am sure someday even in a distant future, there will be an Asian that decides to make this come true. I would love to do that if I get an opportunity though. And yes Indians, Arabs or even the Hebrews are Asians too.

But if the future is bleak…. it might turn out to be a “Fun-filled” Hentai Themepark that replaces the ancient Red Light Districts especially the infamous Amsterdam as maybe the people of the future would want more alternative lifestyle. I hope not though…

Ok, I know most of you might have heard a lot about fake AIDS cure but what I am writing here is the truth and I have clear documentation which you can look for yourself to confirm.
Firstly, we all have heard lots of stories about the “Super Power’s” plans to take over the world discretely and slowly one step at a time. We’ve seen the case of Middle East, Japan, Vietnam and in a matter of time the Europe if they don’t watch their backs.
What I am to unfold now should not be taken lightly.
All you have to do is search for U.S. Patent #5676977. You will find the details of how AIDS can be cured. Look for it here at their patent search engine. Wake Up people! HIV didn’t originate from an African Monkey out of nowhere. It is a synthetic virus invented by them and a cure is also discovered by them. http://patft.uspto.gov/

Reading my good friend’s post about his disbelief in religions of the world will definitely make a person with an intellectual mind think deeper. I agree with that existence of God is something that you can’t proof. But I guess it is comforting and it gives a person hope for miracles to happen when a person is indeed in need of one.
Before I go further, I declare myself as a believing Muslim but definitely not a conventional one. I have faith in the words of the Holy Quran and will only take the other texts available, be it Hadith/Sunnahs or the Bible and Vedas as just references that may have contradictions as they were compiled late by men.
Ultimately, I would not do things against my conscience and not try to be a good Muslim. However, I am working my way to be a good Human. I also believe that it is perfectly fine to question and it is definitely ok to seek for the truth but I guess I have to try a soft approach or I will be hated by the masses.
As many conventional Muslims have already verbally abused me to have warped ideas about Islam and going the wrong path. There are many non-Muslims and educated Muslims that are able to grasp what I say and able to appreciate the Quran upon hearing what I have understood from the holy texts.
I do not blame anybody from any religion for their unfavourable reactions towards my interpretation as it is not easy to change one’s mind if they already have faith in what they were taught before. The question of who am I and what are my credentials will also be risen by many if I am to go against the common beliefs. My request is always very simple, don’t just listen to what I say. Read it yourself. Then ponder on what I have said and then come back to me and argue with me if you think I misinterpreted the Quran. Give yourself a chance.
So is there a heaven and will all good men go to heaven?
5:69 (Asad) for, verily, those who have attained to faith [in this divine writ], as well as those who follow the Jewish faith, and the sabians, Asad(5,86)[86] and the Christians – all who believe in God and the Last Day and do righteous deeds – no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve
I believe in the Quran, and this verse makes me happy. All good people goes to heaven. However, there is a clause, you must believe in the existence of a higher power. So will an atheist who has a kind soul and does good deeds without expecting without the belief of a heaven get to God’s paradise?
I believe that atheist wouldn’t care even and they definitely wouldnt fear too. But based on the verse quoted, they will grieve. Question is for how long? Will your punishment be eternal in hell? Will you be forced to use a chalkboard and repeat a million times that, “I believe in God” till your fingers fall off? We don’t know.
But I believe that God will proof his existence before punishing his creations and then accept him back to home ground. He gave us free will, and he will definitely be proud of us for not believing blindly. If we were to believe a conman blindly and get robbed of all our wealth, it is our own fault. So he wouldn’t practice double standards when it comes to himself, would he?
I believe he is a Good God, and no I am not believing blindly. I have my reasons to believe his existence but its personal and may sound crazy if told. So he wouldn’t put you to hell until you deny his existence when he comes proving himself to you. Sounds fair, doesn’t it? Well at least it sounds fair to me.
This topic is never ending so I am ending this abruptly with my current prayers.
I pray God will stop Men from using him as a political tool…

I am not bitching bout Singapore’s beach but thats what the news on ChannelNewsAsia said. “Based on a new international water quality guideline by the World Health Organisation (WHO), Pasir Ris Beach has been identified as one where swimming would not be recommended. However, activities like canoeing and kayaking can continue. ”
There is an abnormal level of a type of bacteria that exists in human crap in the beach water. So if you accidentally swallowed the water you can think of it as swallowing shit water. =x Maybe they poured out too much of NeWater’s processed water at Pasir Ris.
Do take note that since Feb 2003, NEWater has been supplied to wafer fabrication plants at Woodlands and Tampines/Pasir Ris and other industries for non-potable use. This was not mentioned by the Media of course.
So if you wanna swim in Singapore, do it at Sentosa or East Coast Park.
Thinking of Investigating…
