Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 28th Edition
-
To tell the truth, I know for a fact that sperm donations, some are sold off to overseas fertility clinics. The hospitals do make money, just that it never was a open transaction.Originally posted by Fatum:don't we have automatic opt-ins for our body parts now ? ....
so maybe in a way the state really does own everything in Singapore ... including the flesh off our bodies ...
Much the same as Singapore does buys eggs & sperm from overseas too. -
I dunno about the tadpoles ... but I know my whole body's pledged .... my marrow too is on file for any matches ....
just as long as mine are not sold -
yah.. well, hey.. don't blame her for it..
sometimes, actually, a lot of times, i think the Straitjacket Times is out of their brains..
thing about the Far-Long-Gone, they're all nutcases... they insist it's not a cult but the leader behaves like a cult leader, living off the proceeds of his cult.. and in luxury...
and if you read what they write, the leader is some kinda super being who can cure the world's ills if they breathe properly or something..
but i think it's a political thing, he's got something on the commies and they have something on him.. only thing is that the commies can persecute his followers without anyone much giving a damn..Originally posted by viciouskitty74:My sister is insisting to opt out of the HOTA scheme, and I can see the backlash of other people doing so.
I cant believe how ST can be so irresponsible to be only reporting on issues without both side of the story.
And reading that article. I would say superstitions are the culprit of the row. The family insisting their god says the braindead guy will wake up at 8pm the next day.
And my sisters tells me about the falunggong in china. apparently, the china nanny she employs used to work in the govt sector in china. And the organs sold off by china, are taken from prisoners alive, especially the falungong people. -
I told my sister my ordeal at the blood bank.Originally posted by the Bear:i wonder if i can put into writing that anyone can have any of my organs if i am braindead... except if any politician wants them, i'd rather they be ground to mincemeat and fed to vultures
And my body being in its digusting state its in. I think the HSA will rather cremate my body then take its organs. They claim it was tainted.
And I was one of the first few person to pledge my body organs....way before HOTA came about. And its not just kidneys.
I still has that Blue Card, which at the back says: Any organs. -
Yep, china nanny confirmed it political. but they call themself falunggong to avoid detection.Originally posted by the Bear:but i think it's a political thing, he's got something on the commies and they have something on him.. only thing is that the commies can persecute his followers without anyone much giving a damn..
What happens was, when they call themself 'Fa Lung Gong For Sher'. it means Fa Lung gong Buddist Society.
The real buddhist community was upset cos it was not a buddhist society as it claims.
and china nanny was disgusted at how politicians are selling the organs of those imprisoned fa lung gong people for profits.
Goes to show, people may work for the gahment. It does not mean these employees are all for the gahment.
And i disliked it when people, assuming you work for the gahment, helps to explain some misconceptions about the gahment, was labeled: Oh you work for them, so you side them.
These people sometimes cannot get it thru their thick skull, is that we work for them, so we know whats true or not. And telling you! -
yeah.. which is why i say that there's more to them than just this stupid exercise routine thing..
oh well..
back to HOTA.. they never gave me a card

Mine was not issued by HOTA.
Some earlier ministry of health or something. its a blue card to identify me as a donar for organs. -
I finally sent off some of our outing pics to the photolab for printing. Will bring album to gluttony outing tomorrow

My sister paid for my ATV Winery Tour in Mexico with her credit card.
And left USD50 on the laptop so I can spend on something.

I errr......shoudl spend on what? More cosmetics?
I'd rather use them on photo prints or food -
That's so nice of her to do so. Guess it's a reward for helping her out with the kids and housework.Originally posted by viciouskitty74:My sister paid for my ATV Winery Tour in Mexico with her credit card.

And my brother in law commented that my cooking improved.Originally posted by honeymouse:That's so nice of her to do so. Guess it's a reward for helping her out with the kids and homework. 
-
you mean opt out?Originally posted by Fatum:now that it's opt-in unless explicitly otherwise ... still got card meh ? ...
i was very tempted to opt out jsut because i was pissed with them for passing such a law where by default my body can be desecrated and used in whatever way without my consent -
this was when there wasn't HOTA or whatever.. the very infancy of the organ donor movementOriginally posted by Fatum:now that it's opt-in unless explicitly otherwise ... still got card meh ? ...

I don't see that as desecration lah ... what good is the body when the spirit is already gone, eh ? .... I think of it as a good deed ... at least my demise can give someone a new lease of life, no ? .. -
maybe she/he see the scolding sscared le?Originally posted by tare:the one who throw is the one who din kenna scolded leh.... -
as i said alost, i agree its a good deed, but i'm annoyed at the way they pulled otu of their ass to try and trick/force pple.Originally posted by Fatum:nope, I didn't ... infact, even where I am now you have to opt in explicitly, and I signed the form for that ...

anyway makes me wonder, can i state as bear said, no to politicians and first priority to relatives and friends? -
Hmmm...i remember seeing those Maybelline Clear Mascara at the CV Pharmacy place where I stroller walked my nephew.
Maybe go there and grab a few....SG no more Maybelline Clear Mascara. They are great as trips souvenirs.
And the Revlon's Charlie White Perfume Sprays is also on sale. Should buy a few back to give away as present. Though I am looking for the the Revlon's Fire&Ice Parfum Spray. Its not available in Asia.
Then maybe a few tubes of the Vaseline Petroleum Jelly in tubes instead of Jars.
Still need to find those Elctrical/battery operated feet sock warmer. I hate sleeping with cold feets. -
My sister was also upset about the talk about opting in: So when its time to need organs, you got priority.
She went: You think I need organ urgently, no one else will need the organ urgently meh? Who are they kidding????? Everyone will need organs, and everyone else will have to queue! -
was reading the old thread.
Swensons no longer serve any alcoholic flavour ice cream.
The firehouse has shrunk. I can eat one myself.
The Sorbets are great. -
i think i can no longer eat 1 litre of ice cream at one go anymore
