Active with age

Today had such a wonderful time with yec nss - interacting with the elderly, chit chatting, taking Polaroid .

Once in a while we should all take some time and appreciate their presence and contribution to our society.

The government can't do it alone

Summary edited Excerpt of the 4 days debate in parliament by pm lee hsien long

12th parliament speech

Our shared goal is to create a better life for all.

We want every Singaporean to hold a skilled and well-paid job.
Then who is going to do the lesser skilled jobs? And why waste money to keep reeducating when it can be learn on the job?
For lower income get support to upgrade your skills
Vulnerable and unfortunate can rely on our social safety nets duh as work Fare com care and medifund.
Majority in the middle help you cope with the rapid changes and growing competition in the world more skills upgrading programs for pmet more pathways to educate your children and every opportunity to own a home.
We want every Singaporean to live in an affordable comfortable home

We want every young Singaporean to develop themselves fully and pursue his dreams
Heavy investments in education
Hardworking perseverance cohesion and mutual obligation

We want every senior citizen singaporeans to stay active and to live with dignity
Should open up avenues where they can work as security guards. Rather than mind games?
And with their experience shouldn't not be put to better use?
Your cpf savings and hdb flat will take care of your basic needs. We will help you to remain active and healthy keep health care affordable and ease burden on your families who are Caring for you.

We seek quality growth by improving every job raisin productivity of every worker and helping companies innovate.

But as long as we are united in engaging our hearts and minds in this shared endeavour we will succeed.
The government will help all singaporeans to find good jobs own their Homes and see their children gain confidence and blossom. But the government cannot and should not try to do everything by itself . Singaporeans play an equally important role. Hope singaporeans to get together to create a more vibrant civil society harness the energies and idea of our people be it to tackle social issues promote the arts or protect the environment. Singaporeans should actively participate provide solutions and do their part for community voluntarism supported by the government.

Dancepointe@ Lifestyle Hub Serangoon

Finally!!!!!!!!! A dance school in the North - Dancepointe@ Lifestyle Hub Serangoon
I have been waiting for the opening since ages.
Went for the open house on 1st October 2011 for Contemporary, Hip Hop and Boxercise.
So glad I made my way there even though I was so lost.

For those taking public transport, bus 317 stops in front of the lifestyle hub.
For those driving, take the first right turn (where last time the boon kee chicken rice is) then go all the way straight till you see st francis church, turn right all the way to end and you will see it : Address - 45 Burghley Dr

Contemporary/modern with Goh Seng Henk
Even though I don't do well in contemporary, always love it. Combining your emotions into dance is such an amazing feeling. Techniques is important but it is secondary.

Hip hop with Freddy Yohaki
How I first started with dance- Hip Hop. You are never too old to start Hip Hop. Its about the soul......and your groove.

Boxercise with Derrick Ee
Really fun. A tinge of salsa, aerobics and cha-cha combined.
The cool down crunches was no joke though lol

3 in one day. Now to choose which one to join.
Lines on my tummy. Firmer thighs. ---- I am joining!
See you all there!
