The SIngaporean Dream vs The Singaporean Plan.
Read it.
I wonder if I can really have the courage to make my life different. I certainly do not want to go through the same cycle as everyone : get married, get a house, renovate it
to my personal taste, have children, blah blah blah....something has to be different somewhere. Do you realise that all the people living in your block of flats go through the same cycle everyday? What's the difference? The government has moulded us and made us think that what we have now is what we WANT. Oh dear....
But honestly, I really see my life (and most of our lives) moving in that direction.
Sometimes I feel so trapped in this Singapore system that I can just scream. I resolve by saying that it's what I can make out of it that makes the difference. It's what you can do, given the constraints, that's unique and special to you. But sad to say, our lives will probably all boil down to the same structure in the end...
Frankly, I don't even have the time to think about the possibilities that I can explore...
