November 04, 2007 By: darylim Category: News comments, advertisments 4 Comments →

With the uprise of the number of blogs and bloggers in Singapore and all over the world, it has slowly become another avenue for companies to make use of these sites as a medium to advertise their products. I have viewed many blogs by famous people around, many of them have a certain degree of advertisements being presented on their blogs.

I guessed its about time that i make use of my blog and make some extra cash for myself.

Having researched about the current advertising scene in Singapore, i noticed that Ad Sense Google is one of the most used advertising company by many blogs. However, in my opinion, i feel that the advertisements they provide are not exactly appealing the the eyes on the cosmetic aspect. Most of them are merely words and I find it more irritating, i would not want to press on those links lest they bring me to some other non-related pages.

Having thought through for a while, here i present you with…

NEWS: Indonesian volcano appears poised to erupt: scientist

November 02, 2007 By: darylim Category: News comments No Comments →

Time for more news updates and commentary of some issues that are of concerned to geography.

BLITAR, Indonesia - Continuous tremors rocked a threatening volcano on Indonesia’s main Java island on Friday, a scientist said, warning it could erupt at any time.

Authorities placed historically deadly Mount Kelut on red alert more than two weeks ago, but until Thursday when hundreds of tremors shook the peak its activity had remained largely calm.…….

Many returned home despite evacuation efforts when the alert was initially raised, or refused to leave altogether.

Officials said they were planning to set up cinema screens and invite pop singers to perform at evacuation shelters in an effort to lure people to safety.

“We will set up an outdoor cinema at several shelters in Blitar district in order to attract people to evacuate,” said Kamtono, a local official from one of the two districts that would be affected by an eruption.

“We are having big difficulties asking people to evacuate. They don’t want to leave their livestock untended in the village and they also still believe the elderly people who are saying that Kelut won’t erupt soon,” he told AFP………

Right here we are looking at Indonesia, situated at the belt of Pacific Ring of Fire,who is home to 129 active volcanoes. Looking at the article, i can’t help it but feel sad for them.

The people that live there feel more for their possessions, like their livestocks, than their life actually. The local government even had to use the carrot stick method, to attract and lure them out from their den.

Somehow its not very right to put the blame on them, considering the level of standard of living they are experiencing and the level of education they received.

Right here in Singapore, we might think that they are not making a wise choice to not abandon their homes and seek for safety and shelter. But if we step into their shoes and think, what they have in their cupboards are probably all that they have, their fields and livestocks are their main source of income and livelihood. Losing them would equate to losing their monetary support which would make life even more unbearable for them; without food and money.

It seems that the evacuation  job of the local authorities would not be a easy job, especially when most of the families are in the kind of situation as mentioned above. Furthermore, there are many elderlies that have the religious/superstitious mindset that the volcano would not erupt as soon, or that it is the act of God and they should just accept it.

This is part of the Hazards and Management of Lithospheric Management, where the tectonic activities which results in volcanic activity have to be managed.

NEWS: Singapore Retain its gay sex ban.

October 25, 2007 By: darylim Category: News comments, thoughts, writings 8 Comments →

I happened to see this piece of news feed on my desktop. It was such a influential issue that the news made its way to the international dashboard of the BBC News.

Singapore’s parliament has voted against a proposal to decriminalise sex between men, despite receiving a petition signed by thousands of people.

The plan was part of a wider reform of sex laws, many dating from the British colonial era half a century ago.

The chamber passed a bill legalising oral and anal sex for the first time, but only between heterosexuals.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the government did not consider gays to be a minority with minority rights.

In a rare speech to parliament, he said Singapore was a conservative society, and he wanted to keep it so.

Tuesday’s vote means Singapore’s anti-gay law 377A remains, although prosecutions are rare.

Under the legislation, a man caught committing an act of “gross indecency” with another man could be jailed for up to two years.

BBC, Tuesday, 23 October 2007, 23:45 GMT 00:45 UK

As commented that there has been petition signed by thousands of people to relax the gay laws that is enforced in Singapore, does it imply that there is a increasing increase in the number of gay communities we have in Singapore, or is it just that Singaporeans are getting more open with such relations that they do not mind having such people in our communities.

One of my teachers did mentioned before, if we take a look around the world, like for example places like Paris and Vienna, where the culture of Arts flourishes. In would be almost inevitable to find great musicians or artistes that are indeed homosexual. Many would arguably say that it is because of their homosexuality that leads them to producing such great pieces of work.

Such incidences can also be seen in the local communities, just that the magnitude is much lesser, that people who have higher order of creativity, or artistic sense tends to be more “exquisite” in the way they carry themselves.

Also, not forgetting our famous Singer Elton John and actor Leslie Cheung.

So, in Singapore’s attempt to promote and develop Singapore into a arts hub, would such a bill that’s passed hinder its process..

To a certain extent yes, but the fact still remains that the Asian Values that is running within the majority of us does not see homosexuality as an an act of decency. Moreover, the thousands that have signed the petition would probably be the minority that well could accept them.

Probably in another 10 or 20 years, where more Americanization sets place in our society, it will then be more appropriate as people becomes more liberal with homosexuality.

Just imagining yourself, a heterosexual, living in a society full of homosexual or even bisexual. How would you feel?

In my personal take, i think such acts are rather unpleasing. I was at Starbucks when i saw 2 ladies, one dressed like a butch, but still unable to conceal the fact that “he” is female, with another lady. They were smooching each other with high acts of intimacy. Certainly not something that’s well-liked by the public i guess. They could at least made it a closed-door affair or share their love for each other in private. Not somewhere where they will be seen and scrutinized by people.

God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. So lets just stick with it and not mess up the wonderful love and relations a man and woman can achieve.

Cheers!
