Some days are spent with the thought that you can only depend on yourself and you attempt to seek happiness and peace from within. You do all that it takes to keep yourself happy and enjoy everything life is to offer. But the thing about these kind of day is that the minute you wake up the next day you realise that you've been fooling yourself all this while. Show me a Man who lives like Robinson Crusoe and I will rest my case. We all yearn human company every awake minute. Be it the happiest moment or the darkest hour, we wish we had another to share it with. So at the end of the day, sit back and think why you are fooling yourself, if you are? Answer the question honestly and a lot of things will get fixed or at least work towards getting themselves fixed.

And for the past week, I have had too many encounters with ugly Singaporeans that I'm just starting to loathe what our society is becoming and how our government's attempt in going global is, to be honest, creating a mess in our social fabric. Attracting foreign talent at the expense of compromising opportunities for your locals is just plain stupidity. You are only pushing the locals, Gen Y mainly, out of their nests to seek a greener pasture elsewhere. And, I'm really one of those every passing day. Singaporeans are so unfriendly and despite my subtle attempts in choosing to prove myself wrong, I only get proven further that I am indeed right time and again. So much so, when a lady, seemingly local, actually said "Hi" to me, I hesitated before I replied cause the only thought at the back of my mind was "Is she drunk?". I am not all in praise of European societies or anywhere else for that matter, I just think our locals can do better considering the fact we are dwindling in numbers. Let's try to forge an identity for ourselves just like how every emigrant society succeeds in doing so easily as soon as they land at the airport we boast oh-so-proudly. Singapore needs to be beyond MBS, casinos, churning revenue, surpassing expected GDP growth and everything else. Singapore should be identified by her people. I hope we get there someday real soon.

And I really don't think screening home made videos with the message of "Singapore is your home" or "filial piety" does the trick. I'm sorry.
