anione ever thot if s'poreans who nvr left s'pore to a foreign country to wrk cld be counted as independent? i doubt so.
u see, s'pore is SOOO small. whnevr we choose our sko0ls to study in or wrk at, it's at most a mere 1hr journey awy frm us. unlike thse in USA or whrevr, tey even haf to move frm states to states, juz to do so.
and also. anthr ting to add on. s'porean guys muz haf tht gentleman mentality which is to send girls home. come'on larhs. even if u lived at jurong, it won't be a hassle to send someone stayin' on the othr end home lors. compare someone livin' at chicago and havin' to send his gf back to sae, new york, texas? u're considered one lucky dude to be s'porean eh?
one othr stuff, family bonding. i dunno if it's the convenience we enjoy frm this tinee island or tht we are completely "heartless". relatives cld like live a few blocks awy frm u, and yet teir get-togethrs are like oni during cny or some old folks bdae AT MOST. juz look at hw foreigners livin' on terrains soo much bigger thn us fork out for family bonding.
we're nvr gna be independent enuff. wif our govt pampering us soo much, it's like.. we're somehw livin' in a cradle. whrby evryting's taken care off, we juz need to move on along. unlike othr countries, tey haf to fight for wht tey wna frm the govt. over here, our govt seeks our views on almost all of thse citizen-concerned political matters.
plus, u can also see tht kids frm othr countries started wrkin' to help out teir families. but kids in s'pore are like.. plaein? i admit tht thr're still families wif poor income. but, so long as teir kids goes to sko0l, get tis bursary, tht bursary and evryting's paid by edusave or sponsored, tey wld nort feel the twirch of bein' poor eh? and plae like no one's business.
thr's tis smth which i dunno if it affects the whle globe or oni s'pore. the change of prowness btwn king and subordinate.
look at our sko0ls. the teachers used to whack students and make em submit if need be. but, most of the times, students "ought" to be fearful of teachers. nw? students PRY over teachers. tokin' back like nobody's biz, and stuffs like tht.
in the past, evryone is soo afraid of being outta job. or are pple nw plain lazy? as in, tey interviewed for a job tey felt tey liked, thn gort accepted and FIRED the boss within a few daes. in the past, wrkers wld slog teir guts out eh? REGARDLESS of the amt tey ought to receive. tey juz wna to fill teir stomachs.
also, teir ain't soo mani beneficiaries in the past. die den die lah. my deepest condolences lor. tht kinda case. wht the freak? nw, u gort insurances the company bought for u, perhaps thse u bought urself.. u needn't need to least freak wry if u die, den ur family no one look afta lor.
and it's also somehw time to bring out the "compassion" in fellow s'poreans, who wld donate n donate to ur family if tis case is being reported by a marvellous writer.
in conclusion.. no matter hw "cham" ur situation cld be, so long as u are a s'porean, u wldn't "die" lah.
u noe, at times i felt we adapt the liverpool mindset. "in s'pore, u'll nvr walk alone." lols.
i wrote yet anthr nonsense! =D
