everyone needs money

No, your lesson isn't boring. Okay, maybe a little. But it's not bad.
What i think about microfinancing?
I think it's brilliant. It is. I mean poor people don't actually need money. I mean they do need it. But, it will just run out if we pass them the money and not help them get jobs and stuff like that. (our money->them->use up->ask more->give money->)and it won't stop.

I don't think micro-financing can stop poverty. Maybe the numbers will decrease but not stop. But with the help of the money from charity it just might, but in time,slowly.

I think the poor in Singapore is fairly treated. Why? Not many people take notice of them. Not many help them. Reasons?
-Quite a number of people these days are ignorant. They don't care what's happening to people around them.
-People don't trust the charity campaign because of people like TT Durai causing them not to donate.
-The people themselves are going through a hard time so, they can't really help.
-Some people have the thinking that:- why should we help charity? Nobody offer any help when we were going through hard times.
But, on the other hand some people do help(financial assistant scheme and all that). I think they are fairly treated.
I guess that is all...

new year resolution

Obviously almost everyone's New Year's resolution's going to be the same. Ouhh, i am going to get thinner, i am going to save money, i am going to exercise more. But i don't think anyone will actually follow their resolution. Well, maybe some. But the rest, they'll try but i don't think they will follow through for the whole year. I guess i am one of them. I don't really have any particular resolution that i will really follow through except for 2. Every year i keep making a new resolution but i will actually forget it in time. Is it just me? And some, makes the same resolution every year because they just seem to fail or like the resolution so much or have nothing better to do.
