ok..herez my 2 cents worth on govt sys...anyway,
being in Sg for a long time made me realize something.
we are Really protected..


i mean, hey, think of this, you dun have to look over ur shoulder every 5 mins from paranoia or to ignore any1 who tries to grab ur attention
only to realize in embarassment that you left your fly open or u drop your wallet...
my my...wat have we become, insensitized bastards?


in sg, i can safely tell my mom, " dun wait for me, i'ii be alrite" and i mean it...
even though i get the jitters when the taxi driver asks reallie weird questions
and when itz reallie into the wee hrs, HEY...I'm a singaporean and i'm proud being one.


over here, i get so easily paranoid that i think i'ii develope some mental illness in a matter of years down the road.
lucky for me, therez going to be a psychologist in the family, and thatz not me...
i'ii just be a good patient...

i truly, *cross my fingers* miss sg, and not jus coz of the pple, but also becoz thatz my homeland...
i was made there...you noe like the tags on the cheapo clothes *made in chi--*...(some words are omitted to avoid offence...hehe)
I LOVE SINGAPORE...
but cld it have been due to the early years of indoctrination
w the sickly nostalgic songs " We are singapore....we're a nation strong and free forever more..."
or " one nation one pple one singapore."
oh yah...forgot to mention something i felt was hilariously funny...
my media teacher R mentioned that LKY, ( not sayin his name incase i get sued until my pants dropped like some lawyer on our sunny land)
felt that sg was a society functioning on a Confusicanist theme....olden china...and they sae sg is liberated..
no offence meant at all, coz i LOVE sg, but facts are facts when their glaring in ur face like tt...
i wld sae we have been greatly oppressed..


frm my own personal experiences, i have been repressed...
and looked wat i turned out to be...
no word to describe...
the fact lies in the need to express oneself, not be regulated, herded like cattles or prisoners on death row..
the sch sys, the work sys are greatly flawed..
having had a taste of both, i guess my stand has some proof to back it...


previously i was working for a publishin co, and that wasnt too pleasant though i thought e pple were honestly nice..
the work load was simply horrifying...but life goes on...
imagine, compared to life over here if i got a job, i spent 9hrs in sg, pickin calls, filing, typing stuff, compiling orders...reallie
even if i were woman, i cant reallie mulit-task.
i have but half a brain where i use mainly my right... reallie... bu xing lo...


such are times when u wish u were back in sch enjoying life...
then again, though my daes in sch were one of my glory and carefree daes...
bein the slacker tt i am...
and goin by the theme, itz cool to be uncool...
i only work hard at the last min...
and hence, i'm here...not in sg but here...


one sentence sums e singaporean teenager's attitude...
if u cant cope, dun run, jus hope.

half the time, it wld all turn out jus alrite...
