Had an urge to pen this entry after a recent re-encounter with the powerful watershed song by the 60s-era rock group Creedence Clearwater Revival "Have You Ever Seen the Rain", in which the lyrics truly echo the state of my mind and soul with regard to many who know me as a friend, especially among those in the inner circle.  The lyrics go as such: Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm I know It's been coming for some time When it's over so they say It'll rain on a sunny day I know Shining down like water I wanna know Have you ever seen the rain? I wanna know Have you ever seen the rain?

This thread comes in following up after the National Day Rally on Sunday, and really is a response to the specific words used by NMP Eunice Olsen, with reference to PM Lee's presentation of the proposed Punggol 21+ public housing development as published in yesterday's edition (21 August 2007) of the TODAY paper, on page 6.  These were her words: "The Punggol 21+ plan really awed the audience.  You can see community living as part of the neighbourhood.  People have a sense of pride in their community.  This plays an important role in the estate.  I hope this encourages young people to procreate." It is obvious that many, who are comfortable with and looking forward to the carrots being dangled by the ruling political party, are striving at inferring the long-term prospects that the Government is planning for with such new initiatives, and are quick to credit the leadership with an overzealous fervour.  The premise for this argument that revolves around th...

This article came up under the 'Focus on the Family' series in today's (16 August 2007) edition of the TODAY paper. FOCUS ON THE FAMILY   BY DR JAMES DOBSON WHEN LOVE AND HATE COLLIDE Isn’t it curious how in the midst of a nasty family argument we can shake out of a bad mood the instant the telephone rings or a neighbour knocks on the door ?  Sometimes, it seems that those we love the most, we treat the worst; and kids are quick to notice this hypocrisy. Have you ever been brought up short by a small voice questioning your sudden turn to peaches and cream after 20 minutes of fire and venom ?  Mark Hatfield, long-time Senator from Oregon and a father of four, says his wife brought him up short once by saying: “I just wish you were as patient with your children as you are with your constituents.” Somehow we’re all guilty from time to time of what I call “split vision”: treating certain people with unending forbearance and giving every benefit of the doubt; ...

The MATADOR system is a light anti-tank weapon that can be switched to a wall breaching system for urban warfare. It meets the needs of the modern battlefield which is increasingly veering towards fighting in an urbanised environment. This 90-mm calibre disposable, shoulder-launched Short Range Anti-Armour Weapon (SRAAW) is intended as replacement for the 68-mm ARMBRUST Light Anti-tank Weapon (LAW) in the Singapore Armed Forces, and has proven itself in the course of its development of its ability to meet the increased lethality requirements of the SAF.
