halfway through the 5 day 'brain-washing' seminar, i'm proud to announce that my brain is still relatively 'un-washed' by the process.
unfortunately, this seminar has opened my eyes to all the potential challenges Singapore may face in the future...and the future right now looks bleak..and gloomy...
declining population...the public unaware what in the world a physio does...government trying to rule my sex life after i get married...living in fear of suspicious and unattended bags/packages...parents and government both breathing down my neck to PROCREATE PROCREATE!!
it's typical singaporean mentality consuming me right now: BLAME THE GOVERNMENT!!
but i do know that all the Singapore government is trying to do is all for the good of this nation. everyone holds a different view...but perhaps we have to take a step back and give the government some credit for all the efforts put into making Singapore a safe place to be.
It always saddens me when my friends in Melbourne says they don't wanna return to Singapore cos Melbourne/Overseas is better...more opportunities...less stress...better lifestyle... i guess my upbringing has always emphasise on family and home being always hand-in-hand...home is where my family is..and home is where i belong...therefore, i belong to where my family is.
i know Singapore is not the best place in the world...there are many limitations living on this "tiny red dot", not just in terms of land area...but social life gets affected cos besides watching movie or having dinner, there's nothing much else to do.
but due to my lack of guts, if i were to choose between a safe country (both internal and external security) and a fun country (which has high crime rates or is an even more prominent target for terrorists), i think safety and stability would be the way to go.
that's just me lah. many young singaporeans would probably think differently...
guess i am not young anymore huh? *sighz*
