i feel bad for singaporeans.
whenever i try to cheer them up, they give me this "err...okay?" type of response that makes me feel totally left out. which is why i made a point to myself never ever to treat other people with the "err...?" and the "okay?" type of responses cos it actually hurts a person. i won't do that! :P
arrogant, selfish, pampered and competitive. why, i ask rhetorically. I don't feel like a part of this condescending society of...people with brains but lousy, lousy character. of course, i won't be stereotypical as to say that all singaporeans are like that, but...undeniably, most of them. why, is it their upbringing? their thirst to beat others in social status? to compete without scruple, to be perfect without qualms...tis disappointment in such majority. a seemingly auto-pilot nation.

bleeeeeeeeh its been awhile since i last blogged in such a manner :X (the only time when my english seems to improve is when i'm rambling >3<)
"The word kiasu was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2007" O.O
a sense of pride but no patrioticism. this is singapore.
