Opinion to my question

I totally agreed that the use of public transport more often than driving own car will greatly reduced air pollution. According to what I found out from Wikipedia a single deck bus in Singapore is able to carry 86 passengers, and the MRT train in Singapore is able to carry 1920 passengers. If we convert this amount of passengers to the number of 5-seated car needed to carry them around, we will need a total of 401 cars to bring them around, when only 1 bus and train is needed to do this job.

Furthermore, the population of Singapore was about of 4 million in 2007. If every 5 people owns a car, there will be approximately 0.8 million cars traveling on the road. Since Singapore is a small island, with this amount of cars traveling around traffic jam will definitely occur all the time. When traffic jam occur the operation time of a car will increase. With car operation time increased more greenhouse gases will be emitted out because the times of emission of gases increased.

On the other hand, if all people use public transport, there will be only 2000 train and bus traveling around Singapore. Since MRT train move on its own railway network and does not travel on road, and with only 2000 bus traveling on the road there will be lesser chance of get traffic jam. So with little chances of getting traffic jam, the operation time of transport decreases. With operation time decreases less greenhouse gases will be emitted out because the times of emission of gases decreased.

To sum up, with a reduction of 0.8 million cars to 4000 public transports traveling around in Singapore air pollution in Singapore will definitely reduce. It is because the amount of gases emitted is directly proportional to the amount of transports used and the usage time of each transport.

The meaning of Life

In the past 20 years and 11 months of my life, I have no memory of anythings in the 1st 5 year, I think I had somehow lost it during the event of my life and it will not just stop there as my life goes on.

I am a malaysian yet i know nothing about Malaysia, I know Singapore but I am not a citizen nor a PR there. Its all due to education I came to Singapore since I was 5. Now I lost something that everyone should have that is sense of belonging.

Throughout my life the only thing I have been doing is trying to complete my education in Singapore in the shortest time. It had never been smooth for me going over the hurdles along the path. I get 198 for my Primary School Leaving Examination which is not good enough to get to a "good" school but luckily, I able to get into 4 years secondary education.

Then for my 'O' level my L1R5 is 23, L1R4 is 15 cannot get into JC but good enough to get into poly as many will say. But the sad news is that my English result is E8 can't get me to poly education. At the same time my student pass is going expired, so if I don't get a place in any institute I can't extend my student pass and I don't want to study ITE. So I to appeal to get into polytechnic, lucky again I got into Marine Engineering course in Singapore Polytechnic which is the only Polytechnic that offer this course, but the problem is I don't like it at all still I go with the flow. In the end, I made it into university. Now my university life start.

That is what I had been through. In the process I lost and gain a lot but the lost is seriously damaging my life. First I lost my father when I was 8, and I gain a lot of pities because of that.

During my primary school education I lost my word when people asked me how my mother support the family with no income, and I gain one of mine personalities that is being thrifty and real friends.

During my secondary school education I lost contact with my primary school friends, and I gain secondary school friends which bring color to my life.

During my polytechnic education I lost my emotion when facing other people and I gain somethings I don't want that is loneliness. When I get use to it, it has turned me into an anti-social guy.And my mindset now is to treat things indifferently.

Now being the 2rd semester of my university education, I had already lost faith in the knowledge I gain in my past education and confidence in myself, and I have gain fear in studying.

I got a few points to make before I state my answer that is life is given by parent, meaning is not. Meaning is given by life experience, true meaning is not. So what give you or me the meaning of life it is the passion that push you to live your to the fullest. Lastly my answer is I still searching for my passion of life.
