happy national day! right? balls!
the biggest problem with life in singapore today is thatwhile we are getting richer we are feeling more and more
unhappy. pretty much like the guardian state in plato's
republic where it seems that we have less and less personal
rights. in platos republic, wives and children were held
in common, over here work seems to encroach into a space
once held as personal. we are on call 24/7, weekends too,
off and vacation not spared either.
so as i was driving back after a tiring work day where the
rains had washed off all my completed works, i found myself
on the wrong side of the lens of the traffic police camera.
damn! i wont be surprised if i get 1 for speeding again
since i was hitting 90 on an open road and i didnt really
notice him. sucks.
but see thats exactly why i'm so friggin pissed. if i were
rich and didnt have to work as many hours, of course it would
be so easy for me to be patient. i would bloody cruise 70 on
a 80km/hr road. but the thing is that i'm rushing coz before
i know it my damn weekend is gone. blown for work. but noooo.
the bloody government doesnt understand. they pressure the
people with their bloody ridiculous laws. when we mess up, we
pay heavily, when their drains choke up its some other buggers
problem. you know, i'm not baying for blood. i'm perfectly
fine if the government were more understanding and gracious.
god, they are already so rich, why do they still need income
from their fines, summons and penalties. bad so those are they
top it off with points.
well if we mess up, yeah, we should pay for it. but come on
old man, we're almost draconian here. back to the damn dark
ages man. i mean, it must be so easy living in your ivory
tower and doing meet the people sessions since you dont
experience what they do right? why make life so difficult to
live for the rest of us? why train up such a mindset amongst
the populace. complain, throw the book, intolerant. doesnt
make people want to live here you know.
oh well, with the end of the holidays. maybe i have some time
to myself before school starts. really hate the fact that my
lack of sleep is driving me nuts. national day, balls!
