I'd had, well, more than 4,500 friends in FB - maybe even busting the limits - judging from past responses in emails, etc. My social life ain't active though...

I did an analysis for Indonesia. An industrial review, to be precise. With my team. We really like it that Indonesia, like Korea and Australia, regulates the media industry to protect domestic media producers. Indonesia was doing the right thing when they only allow local funding for their...

Do you ever feel that when the weather turns bad, your day changes with the weather? I am thinking whether some of us may have S.A.D. Seasonal Affective Disorder. We can't stand the cold incessant rain or snow or dark clouds, and we only like sunny and hot places. At least I know I might...

I am confident that in my home country, LFAs will be taken care by the mental hospital, like it or not, and not-too-high-functioning autistics will be taken care by the voluntary welfare organization. This is the Singapore reality. We have no state welfare, so we have no real help totally...

I think Lee's fall from grace only suggests one thing: The people's power comes from a strong system that promotes, not kills altruism. Anyway, ?Captain Sobel, we salute the rank, not the man.? - Major Dick Winters --- Band of Brothers Best quote of the day, because... that happened...

I am thinking of things and ideas in theories. Well, most people I know strive hard to get a degree. Most do indeed attain good degrees, and are qualified to do a lot of professional stuff. But recently, because of drastic syllabi changes and other social upheavals that I know, there are...

This X-Men quote is wildly popular in school - and my very own special friends. I feel strongly for this quote. Even to the extent that I feel that I started to rethink... For example, do you wear a Prada handbag that does not suit your costumes? And do you just say you have autism when...

It's ok... life is not just relative competition. Few are as talented, committed and possibly focused like ASDs. So I guess I'll just keep on searchin'

Although society often imposes heavy expectations with us, we often face two problems: One, is that we aren't able to meet its standards, and Two, is that we failed to do what we can all achieve. I believe there are many things that we can't do in category one. What irks me is more of...

Q: Is there any plan for Forum W to earn more ad revenues? As you know, Forum W is the most popular Aspie website with over 50,000 members, and there are simply a lot of people who love discussing here. The Aspie market in United States alone is made up of around 6 million people who have...

IT?S a hard life being a Singaporean and autistic at the same time. We have to live through a lifetime of disappointments, pain and discrimination. Our parents do not have the money, the time, or the know-how to give us a full and comprehensive treatment that could maximize our potential. We...

I am planning a mini private story to myself resembling the 'what-ifs' in my family. I am going to write about the story of a child and an estranged Chinese Singaporean father, who abandoned his child (living alone under an African American mother, due to both 'racial prejudice' and legal...

This weekend I was invited to worship with some friends who are Lutherans, and feeling like I needed a break from the Book of Acts, I accepted. Anyway, the second reading was a real interesting one. It was taken from the end of Chapter 7 of Paul's Letter to the Romans. Unfortunately we...

I always tell all my friends three things: If you insult my team, I'll still be nice to you but I will just say, 'I only support winning teams, so that excludes yours'. If you think I am useless, I will either think of three weaknesses you have and list them all out, or just hear your...

My parents posed this question: Do you want to be an ordinary person or become the most active person on Forums? I don't know what to say!

I once had a bad experience being a moderator. No one ever listens and nothing ever gets done. This, despite so many leadership trainings. I don't know whether I should accept bad luck or blame, despite what I know... So this is why I gave up on forums, until I returned back here. :)
The other day I wrote about the fact that there is no sure-fire way of determining what is God's will. Well, last night when I went to check my e-mail there was an article on the news section that talked about a 4-year-old boy who had been abandoned on a lonely Texas highway in the middle of...
