The Arrival of Spring
Hi Everyone!
Is it exam season back there in Singapore? Can't quite remember the dates. So much has happened that it seems like such a long time ago when I was back at Braddell-Westlake. I hope that everyone is well and studying hard (sorry, can't help it. Teacher still worries about the impending 'O' Level exams even though she's miles away.
Over here in Fukuoka, we're still feeling aftershocks of the quake. The family was getting better but I'm sad to say that the kids have fallen ill again. Still praying that we'll have good health for everyone. Joseph is getting more used to school. The teachers say that he really likes singing and dancing (I'm sure he doesn't get that from me). Benjamin's started to pull himself up on furniture and he's becoming quite a danger to himself. I'm enjoying them both very much but I wish that Benji slept more at night. Have also been cooking alot more. Yes, things here are expensive but I've learnt not to compare prices with that in Singapore. If I did, I probably couldn't bear to buy anything.
This is especially to the 4E2s since I started this blog with all of you in mind. How are all of you doing? Have you been reading alot and thinking about the things around you? Please continue to practise your writing and most importantly, try to enjoy the language. If you have some free time on your hands, do let me know about what you think of the Government's decision to introduce casinos into Singapore.
God bless,
Mrs Hee

We don't need that Casino really... we just need to government to stop eating up the citizen's money... (i'm sure you know about this)
The casino is there to benefit singaporeans.
Although some singaporeans said that more people will be addicted to gambling, I think its total crap as there are casino ships and places such as Macau.
The government feels the need for a casino as it can generate a considerable revenue and can create lots of jobs, thus benefiting singaporeans.
There is also a $100 limit on how much singaporeans can spend ( that I am not so sure ).
Anyway, when the government announced this idea, I think they aleardy made plans for the casino.
Asking the people about how they think is only a guise.
If noticed carefully, whatever problems that the people give, the government always "correct" them.
However, I just hope that people will trust the government in its decision.
haha. what a qns to ask. that's what we got for english paper one section b today. argh!! take care kaes. ((:
LOL. Sigh. Mid year exams is oh-so-difficult!
Building of casino is has economic profit to the government also more tourist will come to Singapore. But most importantly, there will be more employment as more people will want to become loan shark.. XD
Once they make the decision, i think they have thought about the pros and cons and how the public will react. Casino will bring in more foreign revenue for Singapore economic development so that Singapore can still compete with the rest of the world. It also provides more job opportunities for singaporeans. However, it will also affect our moral and social value. How if the people are addicted to gamble? We only have our people to contribute to Singapore development as we lack of natural resources. We cant compare ourselves to other country which have many other resources to support their development. By the way, is casino the only way the Government can do to earn more revenue and generate more jobs? yar..it provides more jobs,but it also eats our money at the same time. Why dont they think of another thing that also can attract more tourists? Do the government have run out of ideas till they want to setting up casino in singapore? Anyway, I still believe that the goverment's decision will always benefit the singaporeans, though actually i dont really agree with the setting up of casinos.
