I was wondering if criticism makes one feel better about oneselves. Is there a need to be mean in order to carry a point across. Look a the Singapore Idol judges. Yes they are mean, but I believe that what they did was purely for entertainment purposes. Criticising without meaning it is always less harmful because you know what said was untrue. But how about criticising and meaning it? What impact does that have upon others? The need for comparison is so strong in Singapore.
Look at the children and the way they study nowadays. I was suffering hell trying to complete my project last week, complaining to my tuition kid:"I am so tired. I slept at 2am last night and had to stay in school from 8.30am to 7pm, and I have to give you tuition until 10." I thought I was suffering and he said:" I slept at eleven, reached school at 7am, and went to childcare until 7pm and I have to have tuition. I am so tired". I felt sad for him. While mine last for a week, it felt like a month. The cycle never ends for him. And he is not the only one. Stress level is so high nowadays and I am thankful for every minute I spend now on my bed, tossing and turning.
It's study break, but next week is study break too. The hell with that. Bey is coming back! Sounds like k-time. Girls! *whistle* Fall-in! Ready?
PS: yUnz: Sorry Girl, I had to go Taka this Sat with Mum. She has this $300++ voucher cos Dad is a member. How about next week? Smile and luck will follow.
