. my 'real' life .

I guess i am back to my blogging mode again. Maybe due to the reason that school is not the best place that you want to crawl out of bed at 6.30 to go to. Sayings said that we should enjoy the things that we do so as not to feel the boredom of the chore however it is not that we do not wish to but we can't help feeling the way we are. Since there ain't anythings to blog about i would like to share my opinions on the issue regarding J-walking in S**g*pore in partically in the context of *jc.

Signs for not jaywalking are meant for the safefy of the perdestrians. Despite the signs that place at street lamps and traffic lights, several people still chooses to J-walk. why is that so i ask? In my view it is due to the sake of conviences and the hassle of walking all the way to the traffic lights. I believe they have their reasons for doing so.(by this moment of time readers may think that i am crazy to support 'J-walkers') Today, 2 of my friends were caught by their school teacher for J-walking, and they were given forms as they committed a offence as he/she they had to be punish.Is punishment the only way to curb offences? In the case of J-walking, despite knowing the efforts of the school resorting to punishment as a form of ensuring the safety of the students. IS THIS THE ONLY SOLUTION? Man came a long way, are they able to think rationally before action? I believe warnings and teachings would serve a better option as punishment may at times only instinct fear but the objective of learning from their mistakes may not always be achieved.
