Greed is unending, never satisfied.
Greed can only be nullified with contentment.
The only way to kill covetousness is with contentment.

Regarding the Chicken Essence brand poster ads at the bus stops, i think its one of the dumbest advertisements created on earth, at least to me.
Firstly, RI no longer sits for O level exam since 2006. The last batch was 2004, if I'm not wrong.
Next, what defines a PERFECT IB scorer? They should be holding their certs instead of Chicken Essence.
Thirdly, what makes you think that these people, from top schools, really do well, JUST because they drink Chicken Essence? Dont they have brains by nature, with the addition of hard work?
And yes, 5% of RJC students cant get into Uni, for the 2006 batch.
I cant believe that local advertisements are so downright dumb. I'm abashedly ashamed (Yes dual emphasis) by the messages these advertisements give, and PEOPLE BELIEVE IT?!?! Faints.
And they cant think of something more original than to use top schools?
Ms Ong Lay Pheng is right, use the neighbour hood schools and you will attract more consumers.
It just disgusts me that Chicken Essence has to reinforce the TYPICAL stereotype that ALL top school students do well. They just have to reinforce the fact that Singapore's Education system is competitive and in order to make it to top, get Chicken Essence.
I guess i degraded my blog in a way, but to readers, this is a good example on what is critical thinking. Justify their credibility. Looks like PW paid off.
This is one of the places, where i get prideful and say, i can get come up with an advert 10 times better than that. THE ONLY credit i'll give them is that they get decent looking people for the advert. But its expected anyway.

And regarding those who are still brooding over the Pastor Mike Guglielmucci issue/hoax whatever you will call it. Just move on?
You never lied in your life before?!?! You never threw away someone's trust?
And i guess, there s a lot more BIGGER issues to settle than this hoax?
Can you justify your brooding, when in that short span of time, a few hundred babies just got aborted across this world.
People died of starvation, and a few girls/woman got raped?
I mean these kind of stuff happens CONSTANTLY, and you still brood over the whole hoax?
It just doesnt sound justified to me. <-- There s a link to check out some death rates.
Number of babies aborted throughout the world since World War II: More than 1.5 billion.--
