My name is Nicholas, Nicholas Tang. *Lights up my virtual cigar of awesomeness*- my Internet name however, is Sardisticmeow. There is a reason for such a ridiculous sounding nickname of magnanimous degree, which I will now copy+paste what I...

I watched a Chinese documentary on Channel 8 last night. The program was showing the joy of having many children in the house. For those anti government viewers, they may view the show as a government propaganda to increase child birth in Singapore.

Well, a lot happened the past few days. A close aunty of mine passed on in her sleep, supposedly due to a heart attack. My cousin, who has been single handedly raised by her since he was about 12, when my uncle passed on, was traumatised and really really sad. It pained(s) me to see him so down, though I’ve not seen him for the past few days since the incident, but from his statuses and tweets, I could see...
