The short-cuts in life

Everyone likes short cuts... Who doesn't, but then when it comes to health I think people shouldn't be so stupid about it. Recently, I saw a "Chao guo tiao" cook use a plate to pour his noodles into the wok, subsequently used it to contain his cockles and then pour the fried noodles back onto the same plate where the cockles, RAW cockles (don't know whether fresh or not), was previously on. In a microbiological sense, it may contain unwanted microbes that can cause indigestion. Why is he so naive about that point?

Then there's the part where toilets are not suppose to be a smoking area. Even with a sign so clearly stated that you shouldn't smoke at all, there's this idiot who went into the cubicle and smoked his fucking cigeratte. His an asshole don't you know that? If you want to smoke and kill yourself, go somewhere else. Why choose in a place where it's airconditioned and it will re-circulate the fucking smoke back into the same area again.

Have you ever been played out before? I guess a lot huh? How about in terms of a relationship? Well it's not referring to me, I'm still single. It about those who are in a relationship but feel bored with their current ones, so they go hunting for others behind their own partners' back. That's sick. Spoils the who notion about being sincere and sacrificing for your love ones. Sux...

I think Singapore should rethink the way it's sucking our money dry. On one hand, it's a really brilliant plan to constantly keep up with the competition AND save for the future; one the other hand, it's literally sucking us dry with every salary we get. Everyone, in turn, becomes a blood sucking back stabber. No one wants to help/donate/enjoy life anymore, it's just doing them for the sake of doing them. Tolls in Malaysia are already expensive enough, but have that same scenario back in Singapore(ERP) just that you reduce the values /distance to a few dollars/kilometers, it's almost the same thing. It's like a mini-Malaysia here. Very soon bus boarding prices will increase; taxis are like hell now; GST would probably increase to 10% QUITE soon, don't know when; tuition fees for Uni will jack up soon I guess, thinking for my future children is like raising a nuclear bomb - so much time and money. Yet, there is little people can do or voice out about the situation. Even if we did, I think it would take another few years to decades for a slight improvement to take place. Then comes the part where Mr Goh used to mention about Singaporeans being "quitters". I don't deny the fact that some Singaporeans who migrate to Australia, etc, are somehow quitters. But having the scenario that we are having now, don't you think we, as Singapore, are promoting migration? I know in terms of team building and being a 'family', we SHOULD stick together in times of bad, but this is somehow ridicules. Singapore is one of the SAFEST place for business as well as to live in, but hold there a second, don't you think it's like paying for security? Hmmm...

If you give a person, be it a woman or man, a slightly well-to-do partner, don't you think he/she would probably take it? Who doesn't want to be driven? Who doesn't want a lovely car? Who doesn't want a lovely big house with a pool and damn nice facilities? Who doesn't want a house by the seaside? Who doesn't want a loving, understanding partner? But this obsession for unrealistic dream is getting too dry... It just narrows up their choices, it also makes their judgment wrong. For the search of a good life, divorce numbers would definitely increase with every wrong choice made. Why are there people who spoil the actual meaning of getting married? That being married makes them one and not two singles who happen to live together? Why do they spoil my dream of what my own marriage should sound like? It's so ugly now that I don't even think of getting married anymore, not to mention having children. Oh my God, having children requires so much work, so much understanding, so much patience. You need to understand that the World is that bad and that your child is liable to pick them up. Then how about the cost of education in the near future? Uni now is like buying a car, Uni in the future is like buying TWO cars now... That is taking that GST, inflation remains at the level right now...Then what if your child is rather materialistic? He/She desires for branded stuff, then you'll be grinding your ATM cards at the grinder every now and then. Then what if your child learns to be unforgiving or selfish? DO you believe in Karma? Do you think it will apply to you in future?

There's so much to think and talk about... Just don't want to think about them, its so way over my control, but if it's within our grasp to imagine, it is definitely possible for it to come to reality. It is just in a matter of when...

P.S. I apologise to anyone who thinks that my opinions are too crude or have offended anyone. If anyone know that it is illegal to place such comments, please do leave a comment. I do not know whether it is possible to place them in the first place and I don't think I would want to risk my life getting charged for something I'm not aware of. Thank you...
