Not-In-My-Back-Yard syndrome for Singaporeans
Hello dear bloggers , today I want to talk about NIMBY syndrome for Singaporeans . We ,as Singaporeans , must know that we have busy lives to live . We also have to take care of our parents ,which brings me to this thought ,we do not want certain amenities in our neighbourhood . Many people do not want elderly care centres because some people think that it will be very smelly and noisy and it will affect the retail price of their homes . Well if we do not want such amenities in our neighbourhoods , we should all learn to be respectful and have a heart to take care of our own parents , instead of pushing the responsibility to others to take care of them . It will be much more easier to know what is happening around them and how to help them .Remember the times when our own parents had to go through all the trouble to take of us , see us grow up . Just because they smell old , and troublesome to take care of does not mean we have to give up on them . They stayed by us through thick and thin ,helping us through all the troubles , and now u just want to give up on them ?!This is not right, they put so much effort growing us up from a little baby . We all should have more compassion and respect towards our parents . Thanks for reading this blog , I hope u have learnt to take care of our parents and show more love to them as they did the same to us .
about myself
Hello dear bloggers , my name is Jovan Tng .I am a Singaporean student ,studying in Bowen secondary school. I love to do arts and crafts and also love to sing . My co-curricular activity in school is choir . Singing helps me to express myself better as I also learn new songs and making new friends . Art and crafts has been my favourite subject since I was primary one . I always ace my arts .now i also go to an art school called NAFA , Nan Yang Acadamy of fine arts . I have learnt a lot of different skills from there . At Bowen Secondary School , I learn a lot of new information that I may use in future.I would really like to go to a polytechnic that has a design course that I am really interested in . I befriended many people from all walks of life , learning from each other , helping out each other in times of need . There are many times when I had fallen down , picking myself up again time to time . I will not give up on what i want.My parents encourage me to do what i love and go for it . Now , because my n-levels this year they tell me not to really focus on my art and crafts . I really need to go to a good poly so I will not burden my parents, and get a good job so that I will be able to support my family . That is what I have for now . Thanks for reading my blog .
