wat has e world become?! where have all of e love gone?!
i was talking to my sister this afternoon abt charity efforts in s'pore.. my country.. my home.. i gotta say.. i love it here.. i love e fact tt i have found all e wonderful ppl arnd me HERE.. i love where i live.. i love my surroundings.. i love e fact tt it is alot safer to run arnd here than anywhere else in e world.. however,i hate e charity programmes here and e things tt r done to get donations.. AND sometimes i feel like e very place i love,has no warmth in it..
wat am i talking abt?! the NKF charity show.. its gotta be THE most disgusting charity efforts in the ENTIRE world!!!! "call this no. now and u stand to win a $5000 credit card!" for wat?! for u to shop! fuck.. u make a call or maybe 8 at one shot.. k if u call once,u r perhaps donating wat? $5? and if u make 8 calls at one shot,u will be donating $40.. AND u get $5000 in return to shop.. like wat e fuck is tt?! u DO NOT need something in return when u donate a WEEEEE bit of ur money to charity.. NKF manages to get millions of dollars for donations every fucking yr.. and every one of these fucking yrs,they have more than one show.. i used to support them when i was younger.. i would make e effort to call at least once.. of course with e permission from my mum lah! but now tt im old enough to think.. i think its a load of bullshit if u ask me..
charity is from e heart.. its totally voluntary.. and NO ONE shld EVER expect anything in return.. and if u donate just to get e prize,u're a scum of e universe.. u r a complete waste of space in s'pore.. s'pore already has sooo little space.. we dun need useless scumbags to waste wat little space we have.. JeeeZZzz!! sucks so bad! "call (watever no.) now and u stand a chance to win a volvo dunno wat!" and i think if i didnt see it wrongly,this yr,there's a prize of $910,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!! whether its in cash or cash prizes, FUCK!!!!!! u can save tt HUGE sum of money to save even more ppl u dumbasses!! and they give away $1000 within a particular interval of time i think! its e WORST way of doing charity!! wat would foreigners think of us?! tt we r money hungry ppl who would only do something kind for someone when u can win cash prizes?!?!?!? JeeeezzzZZZzz!!!! think abt it,if u add up ALL e money they use for e prizes,it'll add up to millions!!! and wat can u do with tt millions?!?! SAVE PPL'S LIVES!!!!!!
and on top of tt!! e shows r full of 'stunts'.. and notice... ch5 artistes dont seem to be involved? wat happened to achieving more with more ppl?! and do u need these so called 'stunts'?!
"Ladies and gentlemen! as u can see, (whoever), is risking his/her life just to help these patients! this stunt tt u see before u is not to be attempted by anyone as it is very dangerous! pls call to support (whoever) and e patients now!"
half e time,e stunts r faked.. ppl look scared while doing e stunts.. im not saying tt it is easy or anything.. but they tend to exaggerate ALOT and stall time ALOT!!
in e latest charity show...
eg 1. a bunch of ppl r suppose to free someone else who is chained to a tank tt is filling up with water.. e bunch of ppl,broken up into various grps,r suppose to go thru a series of challenges to get keys tt will unlock a chain each.. when it reached e last girl,who was suppose to accelerate a car and ram some other guy against wat looked like extremely thin wood,e girl froze,looked scared.. and stalled and Stalled and STALLED.. so e poor person in e tank,who had water up to her waist at first,had water all e way up to her neck while e car person was stalling in e car!! and btw,e person in e tank? she was standing..
eg 2. initially,i tot it was a very cool idea when they had a human water fountain.. where ppl lie flat on their backs and spray water thru their mouths.. i tot it was really different! u noe,different from e other death-defying or dangerous things tt they do? BUT... something happened after tt DISGUSTED me.. after e ppl finished their performance,they were all shivering.. i dunno if its real or not.. but personally,it looked abit fake.. and e thing is,since e bloody studio belongs to mediacorp,why not increase e fucking temperature for tt item?! or rather,hold it outside damn it!! musical fountain is suppose to be something enjoyable and extremely entertaining! at least tts how i remember it! its not suppose to be nice and then! u see ppl shivering from cold tt doesnt look at all convincing in my eyes! JEeZZZZ!!
charity is suppose to be a fun thing! tt get everyone involved! its suppose to be e coming together of various ppl! star or not star.. charity's suppose to bring ppl together.. let them realise tt we r much more fortunate compared to some of e other ppl out there! its suppose to let us appreciate e things we have arnd us! its suppose to inspire and push ppl to do something.. anything.. small or big.. donate like $10,000 a yr if u have e means.. or donate $5 a few times in a yr.. or even,visit ppl who r less fortunate.. let them have a fren.. give them company.. charity's suppose to be unconditional.. like 'party in e park'! stars r invited to perform in a huge open area! attract ppl and at e same time get them to contribute! i would like to go to one of those! i wouldnt even mind paying $100 for e tix if tt $100 was goin to charity.. i guess not everyone thinks e same way i do..
and another thing tt disturbs me still? e tsunami.. it affected so many lives.. it was so near to us.. and yet,i dun feel like anything has been done to help those affected.. i cant say tt there isnt.. im sure there is.. like smrt? they managed to get $600,000 plus.. if i didnt remember e figures wrongly.. food and medicine and help was sent over.. unofficially.. e mrt thing is abit pathetic to me.. MILLIONS of ppl take e mrt everyday.. if every one were to donate just $1,we would have raised millions of dollars.. just because it didnt hit us doesnt mean tt we shld go abt our everyday lives while ppl in e army go over and help.. we need to do more.. s'poreans r really taking ALOT for granted..we could do so much more.. its such a disaster and NKF is still trying to get soooo much money from ppl.. im not saying tt kidney patients r not impt or tt their sickness can be put on hold.. i just generally feel tt soooo much more can be done to help e ppl.. and to me,e tsunami disaster is a more pressing situation than NKF,which happens EVERY yr! e least they can do is perhaps postpone it? to later in e yr?
i think it'll bo so nice if we had one week specially for doing charity.. we get as much donations as we can for as many charity organisation as possible.. then split e money according to e individual needs.. its a week specially dedicated to e less fortunate.. create awareness.. like "hey u! u could do a little something! and i mean a LITTLE something to save someone!!" and encourage ppl to do their part.. like some public show at orchard.. a BIG public show..maybe it can even be some fashion show to raise money tooo! or performances by artistes or bands,famous or not famous! e point is to encourage! imagine if u could enjoy LIVE music and at e same time do something nice for someone who needs it.. its a period where everyone is involved! ch5 ppl,ch8 ppl,chU ppl! ordinary ppl! there can even be little stalls set up along e streets to sell little things like bookmarks,food,jewelry,clothes!!
*sigh* i guess its just me and some other warm hearted and really kind ppl who would want something like tt! wat a wonderful world it would be!!! screw kindness week!! JeeezZZ!!!
