Gives Me Hope.com

Hi everybody

I downloaded this application on my phone. It's called GMH

I then realised that all the stories were actually from the actual website

GivesMeHope.com

The stories are all really inspiring and beautiful

Though some of the people commenting are so rude and such!

Don't get influenced!

A few of the best stories is(So says my phone/ratings) and I love the stories too:

'I woke up one morning to hear the birds singing and my mother cooking breakfast downstairs. I've never cried so much in my entire life. I've been deaf since the age of 8' (There is always hope This is voted No. 1)

'Today, I found GMH. After reading all the heartwarming stories, I walked into my room and tore my suicide journal to shreds. I'm shaking out of happiness. GMH.' (This guy's amazing :D)

'During WW||, my friend's grandpa was captured and tortured, but he refused to reveal his mission. The Japanese said if he didn't spill, they would kill the other five captured men. He wouldn't budge. He escaped, but he had to live with their blood on his hands. 25 years later, he found out they all lived. Not a single one talked. GMH.' (Inspirational. The things people do for their country... Just like Lim Bo Seng)

Just something to add. These stories are not necessarily from Singapore

CmPS abused cats pictures

my CmPS project is about abused cats (we are supposed to help them and are working with SPCA)
Our Underlying Problem (what keeps the project going):
How might we educate the public through our school on the responsibilities of pet ownership so as to decrease the no. of cases of cat abuse.
I got some pictures in here and wanted to post them .
the right one: ouch! the cat was speared but lived through it!!!!
the left one: abandoned cat. someone took a picture. Think it motivates some people =P it says: world 2 big, i 2 little. home plz...
saddening isn't it, how the cats are abused in this way. (abandonment is a type of abuse.)

Model Pupil Dies in Accident

NINE-YEAR-OLD Mindy Neo was so excited about returning to school after the one-week break that she slept early just so she could wake up feeling fresh the next morning.
But the girl, who would have been 10 next month, never made it to class on Monday after an accident involving a van while she was crossing Buangkok Drive at about 6.45am.
The Primary 4 prefect at Punggol Primary School was flung about 20m on impact and died in hospital two hours later.
The 24-year-old Indonesian maid who was with Mindy at the time was injured and is now warded in Changi Hospital with head and back injuries.
The accident is believed to have occurred when the red van turned right from from Punggol Road into Buangkok Drive. Mindy and her maid were using the pedestrian crossing at the time, although it is not clear if the traffic lights were in their favour at the time.
Mindy's parents were distraught yesterday and her father, Mr Neo Hwee Choon, 43, was in tears when he spoke to reporters before her wake yesterday morning.
Just last month, father and daughter composed a song - 'Teachers' Day Love Song' - on a piano he bought her recently.
Mindy went on to record the tune onto CDs and presented them to her teachers on Teachers' Day. Mindy's death was also a blow to her principal, teachers and classmates, who described her as 'creative, intelligent and humble'.
Police have arrested the 63-year-old van driver on suspicion of causing death through a rash or negligent act, offences which could see him jailed for a maximum sentence of five years and fined.
The police are appealing for eyewitnesses and anyone with information should call the Traffic Police on 1800-547-1818.
