Have been working and walking around these few days, except yesterday where a BBQ for IFFS peeps surfaced and by waking up early in the morning to finish every fuck shit, by the night I was already zombified.
Worse when it won’t help that the food ain’t finished and we had to discard a considerable amount of food that maybe a tiger can finish, but nonetheless we all had a happy time I guess. And of course, not forgetting a happy birthday celebration for Zhenwei, plus a belated one for Wayne.
Life nowadays to me is just a chore. How I couldn’t help but think of dying. Finding a job is already killing me, and now working for a relative means salary is something that is very “indecisive”. And it seems weird that those idiots from the agencies don’t receive the emails when I apply for their freaking post. Just when I’m feeling so down not having a stable income, this stupid blow came. So much for the feng shui saying I’m rich this year.
Rich my ass.
A society like this will just eventually drive every Singaporean away from their motherland. The rich are getting richer, the poor? Maybe to the point that they have to beg. Recently after heading to Eugene’s house to repair is fuzzy laptop at Tiong Bahru, I walked past a 2 room HDB flat. And on the first storey of the HDB flat, darkness looms in the living rooms of the units, and with one, I saw a family of perhaps 6 living in there (If I didn’t see wrongly).
The father of the family just glanced at me, but while I couldn’t help but think what the society is going to give him and his family in the future. With him already to the brink of poverty, I couldn’t do anything but to wish him for the better and also to give a thought that I’m lucky to be living in a better condition, typing my life away here. Even if the society provides generally good conditions of living, the STANDARD of living is too high. They might provide good houses here, but if you have no money, you can’t even have you own shelter.
Poverty. Will the society face it?
With the “garment” already so interested in foreign investments, it’s not surprising to see many foreigners living here and many Singapore leaving here. Our roots and culture will die down, slowly but surely fading away with the dust in the air. Then the average people like us will try to save up a considerable amount of cash to migrate, to get lost from this society so demanding and stressful. So we should be asking :”Is the price increase to everything necessary when everything we did last time was as good as the world can get?”
Helping us cope? How do we even look at it when every time we stepped out of the rusted gates means we HAVE TO SPEND MONEY? Be it travelling, eating, buying needs. Anything, we are still caught in a blistering feel in the pockets. And it hurts. And you know why there’s inflation? Because the RICH are SPENDING BIG. Then the average and poor? Spending only necessary money like food and household, paying bills like signing cheques for free, contributing to the inflation with minimal amount.
If only money falls from the sky.
And do you think that giving a mere 600 dollars, sub divided by every don’t-know-how-many-freaking-months can help people to cope? I guess not. Not me definitely. Finding job easy? More job openings easy? How do I even find one when the internet makes life convenient but at the same time the company is not doing their job by HELPING people in need like me? Fuck the job agencies la.
And to encourage people to give birth to babies just because we have a problem with the aging population? Well, increasing everything else in the society will only help to keep younger couples AWAY from reproduction. Price hikes will lead to both parents having the need to work for a more stable income. Maids? They either don’t know how to, or they just run away for a better life. Parent’s parents? They are old and dying come on. Kids need their parents to be there in their lives in order for a wonderful childhood, and this means time consumption as well as showering the kid with love and care. Do the parents have time if they are to work full time? I guess the answer is obvious.
Kids. How dreadful as well to take care of.
The 2nd thought that comes to mind is the price hike might shun the people from reproduction because in this case, to feed a child is like feeding him/her gold. It’s high maintenance. And yet companies are not paying that much to their employees because they themselves wish to make profits as well. Kids? With education, food, petrol blah blah blah increasing in price, how they wish they didn’t had, especially here.
This makes sense definitely.
Just Die La. No point ranting because I’m after all a silent complaint.
