My Home My Environment!!

How does the increase in waste/rubbish affect Singapore's environment?

RUBBISH GONE GOOD: An aerial view of Singapore's Semakau island landfill.

Rise

There is a voice within my mind
Singing the songs of distant times
Speaking the thoughts from lost horizons.
Music and words that must be signs
Shaping the facets that define
How we have come to be the present
Descendants.

BRIDGE
Though we’re from ten different lands
Bound by shores of common sand
Singing out as one
Let’s stand
The world is in our hands

CHORUS
No matter where we’re from
If we could sing one song
Dreams that are yours and mine
They will be realized
Trusting the love we feel
Trust in the love that’s real
Children unite
People of ASEAN rise.

Chapters unfolding from the past
Speaking of wisdom to my heart
Lessons to learn from our ancestors.
Pushing horizons let's have faith
Our differences we will embrace
Shaping as one our common future
Our future.

Composed by Dick Lee
Arranged by Kenn C
Performed by Stefanie Sun

The Meaning of Life

The meaning of life has always puzzled me ever since I was a kid. As a child, I was taught many things such as mathematics, science etc. But when it came to the topic about meaning of life, no one actually had a similar definition of what life is, as each has their own experiences and differences.

Trying to use the knowledge taught at that young age, I found that the meaning of life was impossible be reasoned out, predicted or even calculated. Questions keep popping up from my conscious about what is the meaning or the very existence of my life supposed to be? My parents told me I would understand more as I would grow older.

As time goes by, my parents brought me to different parts of the world, and told me to see for myself what life was in different places. Having exposed to many different culture, religion and society around the world, I figured out why I had so many different answers from the people whom I asked. Each of them was trying to convey their own experiences in life for me to understand.

Even thought I have a picture of what the meaning of life is, but it’s a picture that I couldn't describe myself in simple words or knowledge. I would say that the meaning of life have to be experienced in-order to be appreciated.
