Let's get connected

When we measure the distance from Singapore to Los Angeles and think of how many hours do people actually spend to reach there by plane, the world is surely big. When we compare Eastern culture to that of Western, we know that the world is wide and divided into many, even though parts of those barriers had been knocked down by what we call 'globalization'.

But then, when you are having your vacation in another part of the world which is far far away and you bump into an old friend of your hometown in Indonesia, you will think "Oh wow, the world is only that small, eh? How could it be so coincidental?"

Yeah, for me myself, the world has actually turns narrower. Without your realization, when one door opens for you, you will be led to another door. That's how we earn connections. From one person, you can get to know the others. But sometimes, you never realize that two of your friends that you think have no relation, are actually friends to each other too. Small world, isn't it?

Lately I've met some people that are simply awesome and inspiring to me. And after a while i found out that actually those people were already connected to each other. See? Now we know how crucial connections are.

Also, being inspired is surely common. But when you are the one who inspire others, that certainly brings contentment. Well I hate to break this to you, but to be frank, all this time I've never actually earned  my ultimate complacency yet. But this does not make me an ungrateful person. No, don't get it wrong. To a certain extent, of course I do have that pride towards what I've achieved in the past which is not much. But I still have so so so many goals to achieve and one of them is to inspire other people! Hehe. So I'll pursue them step by step and keep my fingers crossed, hopefully could inspire you people someday :) 

By the way..it's been so hazy here in Singapore since last Monday (17/6/13). HAZE HAZE HAZE. It's all we heard people grumbling about. The PSI (Pollutant Standard Index) even surged up to 401 which was beyond hazardous according to the NEA(National Environment Agency). We all know that the haze came from Riau-Indonesia and Singaporeans had been cursing Indonesians for their deeds. Meanwhile, a group of people look at this disaster as an irony, claiming that since most of those firms behind the haze are foreign Singaporean firms in Indonesia, no wonder haze flows back to the country of origin. But still, since the plantations and burnt forest are located in Indonesia, it's the responsibility of Indonesian government to tackle away the haze, right? Alright, instead of cursing one another, both countries should work together to combat this. For today, let's be thankful since it's not that hazy anymore and we all can carry on our activities without having to trouble ourselves with masks. Did they actually manage to create the artificial rain to reduce the haze?

Then, as usual, when a trending issue is being raised, there will always be those people who try to make funny videos out of the situation. LOL. So here it is - The Haze Song. Enjoy!
