I've been reading posts on the ST Forums and the newspaper, and most readers are disgruntled that the fare would be reduced by a &lt;strong&gt;mere 2 cents. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;This is sadly disconcerting, because when the operators raise the prices, they raise it from 55 cents to 67 cents, a &lt;strong&gt;dramatic 22% price hike&lt;/strong&gt;. However, when "reducing" prices, the 3% decrease is barely noticeable, sheesh, I even &lt;strong&gt;laughed&lt;/strong&gt; at the article. People nearby looked at me like I was going bonkers. Don't blame me for the "I don't care about life" attitude, this reduction of fare is such a joke that I'm fairly sure their precedessors are rolling around in their graves. 2 cents could buy a bowl of laksa in olden Singapura. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;What can I say about higher standrards of living? Living is almost a burdensome chore, but since I'm still young and probably as immature as the person who is reading this now, I'd better keep my mouth shut until I've experienced the taste of working and earning my own money. It's already hell trying to stay alive in this world, I wonder how I would fare in the adult world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1383190307266433577-2385406752068189804?l=chaicounsellingcentre.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chaicounsellingcentre.blogspot.com/feeds/2385406752068189804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1383190307266433577&amp;postID=2385406752068189804' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1383190307266433577/posts/default/2385406752068189804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1383190307266433577/posts/default/2385406752068189804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chaicounsellingcentre.blogspot.com/2009/02/bus-and-train-fare-down-what-joke.html' title='Bus and train fare down - What a joke!'/><author><name>Professor Chai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00437952176889430656</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383190307266433577.post-8289523540106369848</id><published>2008-11-11T22:44:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-11T22:59:38.175+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Friendster</title><content type='html'>Dear guys and girls,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Friendster is not a place for you to post nude pictures! In just 2 days I see 2 topics on 2 girls posting their nakey nakey pictures on Friendster! What is this? No one wants to see how much hair you have down in your South Pole, neither do we want to see your melons :&lt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S: If you don't know what I am talking about, go to stomp.com.sg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By commiting this indecent act, you are degrading yourself and making yourself a stupid, idiotic, ridiculous laughing stock of Singapore. Why do girls do this? Is it because they owe people money, or is it they are threatened? I think they should come my blog for counselling ^_^. Lols kidding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, don't post naked pictures of yourself on the internet, you are not only throwing your face away, you are making your friends think you are "cheap". No one wants a friend who is cheap. And your body is supposed to be your own, personal belonging, not sukah sukah give people take pictures then post online. You'll regret doing it, and no amount of counselling, or time, will heal the emotional scars you made by doing this silly, outrageous, dumb act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you did post nakey nakey pictures of yourself on the internet, congratulations. You will regret it soon and your IQ will most likely be lower than a stinkworm. Not only that, this is like making a huge advertisement, putting it up on Orchard Road and on that advertisement, "Hot girl for sale! Hot girl for sale! Cheap and easy, come call me now" See how stupid that sounds?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If any person have any problems and the person whom you offended wants to take naked pictures or indecent pictures of you, say no menz! Don't succumb to their desires because this will only let them play with you more, and the more you let them, the more they will want. Like this idiom which I made up : The more you give, the more they take. I think it sounds nice and it rhymes, but morei mportanly, I hope it does it job in reminding you guys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's sort of like this: You accidentally let out a huge, deep, dark secret of yourself which no one must ever, ever know. For example (: Or maybe you have a boyfriend already that you looooveeee so much, but then you slept with another guy. Or they happen to take nakey nakey pictures of you. What happens? They blackmail you, of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, they say $10,000. After you think about it and stupidly decide to pay up, they demand $20,000. After you think about it again, begged around for the money, then decide to pay up because you don't want that "secret" to be let out. After they get the $20,000 dollars, maybe they decide that they want to post your "secret" on the internet, or they want more money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guys and girls, this is true and it really happened to other people in other countries. Blackmail will always get more greedy with each turn if you keep on succumbing to their wills. Even if they say "OK&lt; I won't find you again after I get the money", what if they pop out years later, and threaten you again?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, maybe not so serious in Singapore, but just want to let you know that this kind of thing happens to people who don't seek help, think that they have alot of money to spare, and are stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck, and enjoy looking at the 2 posts at stomp.com.sg O.O&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1383190307266433577-8289523540106369848?l=chaicounsellingcentre.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chaicounsellingcentre.blogspot.com/feeds/8289523540106369848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1383190307266433577&amp;postID=8289523540106369848' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1383190307266433577/posts/default/8289523540106369848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1383190307266433577/posts/default/8289523540106369848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chaicounsellingcentre.blogspot.com/2008/11/friendster.html' title='Friendster'/><author><name>Professor Chai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00437952176889430656</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383190307266433577.post-8962791492931628557</id><published>2008-11-07T23:47:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T23:57:01.282+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Why Do Teens Try to Kill Themselves?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;Most teens interviewed after making a suicide attempt say that they did it because they were trying to escape from a situation that seemed impossible to deal with or to get relief from really bad thoughts or feelings. Like Ethan, they didn't want to die as much as they wanted to escape from what was going on. And at that particular moment dying seemed like the only way out.&lt;br /&gt;Some people who end their lives or attempt suicide might be trying to escape feelings of rejection, hurt, or loss. Others might be angry, ashamed, or guilty about something. Some people may be worried about disappointing friends or family members. And some may feel unwanted, unloved, victimized, or like they're a burden to others.&lt;br /&gt;We all feel overwhelmed by difficult emotions or situations sometimes. But most people get through it or can put their problems in perspective and find a way to carry on with determination and hope. So why does one person try suicide when another person in the same tough situation does not? What makes some people more resilient (better able to deal with life's setbacks and difficulties) than others? What makes a person unable to see another way out of a bad situation besides ending his or her life?&lt;br /&gt;The answer to those questions lies in the fact that most people who commit suicide have depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Depression&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Depression leads people to focus mostly on failures and disappointments, to emphasize the negative side of their situations, and to downplay their own capabilities or worth. Someone with severe depression is unable to see the possibility of a good outcome and may believe they will never be happy or things will never go right for them again.&lt;br /&gt;Depression affects a person's thoughts in such a way that the person doesn't see when a problem can be overcome. It's as if the depression puts a filter on the person's thinking that distorts things. That's why depressed people don't realize that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem in the same way that other people do. A teen with depression may feel like there's no other way out of problems, no other escape from emotional pain, or no other way to communicate their desperate unhappiness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Sometimes people who feel suicidal may not even realize they are depressed. They are unaware that it is the depression — not the situation — that's influencing them to see things in a "there's no way out," "it will never get better," "there's nothing I can do" kind of way.&lt;br /&gt;When depression lifts because a person gets the proper therapy or treatment, the distorted thinking is cleared. The person can find pleasure, energy, and hope again. But while someone is seriously depressed, suicidal thinking is a real concern.&lt;br /&gt;People with a condition called bipolar disorder are also more at risk for suicide because their condition can cause them to go through times when they are extremely depressed as well as times when they have abnormally high or frantic energy (called mania or manic). Both of these extreme phases of bipolar disorder affect and distort a person's mood, outlook, and judgment. For people with this condition, it can be a challenge to keep problems in perspective and act with good judgment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Substance Abuse&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;Teens with alcohol and drug problems are also more at risk for suicidal thinking and behavior. Alcohol and some drugs have depressive effects on the brain. Misuse of these substances can bring on serious depression. That's especially true for some teens who already have a tendency to depression because of their biology, family history, or other life stressors.&lt;br /&gt;The problem can be made worse because many people who are depressed turn to alcohol or drugs as an escape. But they may not realize that the depressive effects alcohol and drugs have on the brain can actually intensify depression in the long run.&lt;br /&gt;In addition to their depressive effects, alcohol and drugs alter a person's judgment. They interfere with the ability to assess risk, make good choices, and think of solutions to problems. Many suicide attempts occur when a person is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.&lt;br /&gt;This doesn't mean that everyone who is depressed or who has an alcohol or drug problem will try to kill themselves, of course. But these conditions — especially both together — increase a person's risk for suicide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Suicide Is Not Always Planned&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;Sometimes a depressed person plans a suicide in advance. Many times, though, suicide attempts happen impulsively, in a moment of feeling desperately upset. A situation like a breakup, a big fight with a parent, an unintended pregnancy, being outed by someone else, or being victimized in any way can cause someone to feel desperately upset. Often, a situation like this, on top of an existing depression, acts like the final straw.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;Some people who attempt suicide mean to die and some aren't completely sure they want to die. For some, a suicide attempt is a way to express deep emotional pain. They can't say how they feel, so, for them, attempting suicide feels like the only way to get their message across. Sadly, many people who really didn't mean to kill themselves end up dead or critically ill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Warning Signs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are often signs that someone may be thinking about or planning a suicide attempt. Here are some of them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;talking about suicide or death in general&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;talking about "going away"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;referring to things they "won't be needing," and giving away possessions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;talking about feeling hopeless or feeling guilty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;pulling away from friends or family and losing the desire to go out&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;having no desire to take part in favorite things or activities&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;having trouble concentrating or thinking clearly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;experiencing changes in eating or sleeping habits&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;engaging in self-destructive behavior (drinking alcohol, taking drugs, or cutting, for example)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What if This Is You?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;If you have been thinking about suicide, get help now. Depression is powerful. You can't wait and hope that your mood might improve. When a person has been feeling down for a long time, it's hard to step back and be objective.&lt;br /&gt;Talk to someone you trust as soon as you can. If you can't talk to a parent, talk to a coach, a relative, a school counselor, a religious leader, or a teacher. Call a suicide crisis line (such as               1-800-SUICIDE        or               1-800-999-9999       ) or your local emergency number (911). These toll-free lines are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by trained professionals who can help you without ever knowing your name or seeing your face. All calls are confidential — no one you know will find out that you've called. They are there to help you figure out how to work through tough situations.&lt;br /&gt;What if It's Someone You Know?&lt;br /&gt;It is always a good thing to start a conversation with someone you think may be considering suicide. It allows you to get help for the person, and just talking about it may help the person to feel less alone and more cared about and understood.&lt;br /&gt;Talking things through may also give the person an opportunity to consider other solutions to problems. Most of the time, people who are considering suicide are willing to talk if someone asks them out of concern and care. Because people who are depressed are not as able to see answers as well as others, it can help to have someone work with them in coming up with at least one other way out of a bad situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Even if a friend or classmate swears you to secrecy, you must get help as soon as possible — your friend's life could depend on it. Someone who is seriously thinking about suicide may have sunk so deeply into an emotional hole that the person could be unable to recognize that he or she needs help. Tell an adult you trust as soon as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;If necessary, you can also call the toll-free number for a suicide crisis line or a local emergency number (911). You can find local suicide crisis or hotline numbers listed in your phone book. These are confidential resources and the people at any of these places are happy to talk to you to help you figure out what is best to do.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, teens who make a suicide attempt — or who die as a result of suicide — seem to give no clue beforehand. This can leave loved ones feeling not only grief stricken but guilty and wondering if they missed something. It is important for family members and friends of those who die by suicide to know that sometimes there is no warning and they should not blame themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;When someone dies by suicide the people left behind can wrestle with a terrible emotional pain. Teens who have had a recent loss or crisis or who had a family member or classmate who committed suicide may be especially vulnerable to suicidal thinking and behavior themselves.&lt;br /&gt;If you've been close to someone who has attempted or committed suicide, it can help to talk with a therapist or counselor — someone who is trained in dealing with this complex issue. Or, you could join a group for survivors where you can share your feelings and get the support of people who have been in the same situation as you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coping With Problems&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;Being a teen is not easy. There are many new social, academic, and personal pressures. And for teens who have additional problems to deal with, such as living in violent or abusive environments, life can feel even more difficult.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;Some teens worry about sexuality and relationships, wondering if their feelings and attractions are normal, or if they will be loved and accepted. Others struggle with body image and eating problems; trying to reach an impossible ideal leaves them feeling bad about themselves. Some teens have learning problems or attention problems that make it hard for them to succeed in school. They may feel disappointed in themselves or feel they are a disappointment to others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;These problems can be difficult and draining — and can lead to depression if they go on too long without relief or support. We all struggle with painful problems and events at times. How do people get through it without becoming depressed? Part of it is staying connected to family, friends, school, faith, and other support networks. People are better able to deal with tough circumstances when they have at least one person who believes in them, wants the best for them, and in whom they can confide. People also cope better when they keep in mind that most problems are temporary and can be overcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;When struggling with problems, it helps to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;Tell someone you trust what's going on with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;Be around people who are caring and positive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;Ask someone to help you figure out what to do about a problem you're facing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;Work with a therapist or counselor if problems are getting you down and depressed — or if you don't have a strong support network, or feel you can't cope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;Counselors and therapists can provide emotional support and can help teens build their own coping skills for dealing with problems. It can also help to join a support network for people who are going through the same problems — for example, anorexia and body image issues, living with an alcoholic family member, or sexuality and sexual health concerns. These groups can help provide a caring environment where you can talk through problems with people who share your concerns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff99ff;"&gt;Check out your phone book to find local support groups, or ask a school counselor or a youth group leader to help you find what you need.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Note: This extract on Suicide is copy and pasted from &lt;a href="http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/mental_health/suicide.html"&gt;http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/mental_health/suicide.html&lt;/a&gt; .*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have read through it and found it very useful, you guys should read all of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;If you just skimmed through the words or just scrolled down the page, SHAME ON YOU.

Most girls nowadays are afraid that their peers will think bad of their image even when they are already slim, petite, skinny, or look like a toothpick.&lt;br /&gt;I hope that you will read this topic as many of you fall into these categories -rolls eyes-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*The thinner you are, the more unahppy you will be&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;*Self Image&lt;br /&gt;*Models and their lifestyles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The thinner you are, the more unhappy you will be&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is actually a fact which applies to most girls who have this thinking that they are fat even when they are not. The thinner you are, the more you will be having this thinking, '' Am I fat? Will my friends think I am fat? Am I ugly? Is that why my boyfriend broke up with me? ''. For example, look at me! (: I may be overweight, but at least I am happy with the way I look.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Self Image&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Girls these day are more concerned about their image than their overall health. Why so serious menz? @.@ Your body will only be with you once, and by starving yourself so you can look like an anoxeric, will scare your friends, and maybe your potential boyfriend away x[. We don't want that, do you. Skinny people with bones sticking out of their bodies look like you can play guitar with the bones.&lt;br /&gt;No one says you must be skinny to be pretty. There are alot of people who are overweight, but are happy and pretty, beautiful and elegant. Skinny doesn't neccesarily means happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Models and their lifestyles&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alot of people think that being a model is a glamorous job, and that the pay is good, living is good, lifestyle is excellent, whatever. But the truth for most models is far from that.&lt;br /&gt;Most, if not all, models starve themselves or go on a diet just to look like a skeleton. Thin is NOT the new in. Their directors/firms usually do not hired overweight models, which means they force themselves to go beyond their body limits just for a job they THINK is glamorous and pays good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Modelling is definitely not a glamorous jobs for most of the girls. You do not know what happens backstage. Drugs, prostitution, pimping, it all happens. After a modelling job, the models usually end the day by going clubbing. Drugs are almost a neccessity and they turn to escort services for more cash returns. Modelling and their lifestyles are not glamorous, and by some means, sleazy.&lt;br /&gt;Look at all those skeletons running down the catwalk. They do not look pretty with their zombie looks and flat breasts. They are also unhappy almost every other time. The stress put on by their directors to lose weight, the competition with thousands of other models and the lack of nutrition will certainly make you depressed. Many take drugs or inflict damage on themselves to escape from the peer pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this is a wake up call to every girl who think modelling is great (: And to everyone who think being skinny will make you happy, you're wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1383190307266433577-5052033964632678048?l=chaicounsellingcentre.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chaicounsellingcentre.blogspot.com/feeds/5052033964632678048/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1383190307266433577&amp;postID=5052033964632678048' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1383190307266433577/posts/default/5052033964632678048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1383190307266433577/posts/default/5052033964632678048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chaicounsellingcentre.blogspot.com/2008/11/self-image-and-modelling.html' title='Self image and modelling'/><author><name>Professor Chai</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01789847959234213370</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383190307266433577.post-2946222738710697541</id><published>2008-03-18T12:19:00.015+08:00</published><updated>2008-03-18T12:36:48.086+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Depression</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Why do people suffer from depression?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, there are problems and issues that our friends won't or is unable to settle it.
