Have I mentioned that I enjoyed speaking with the taxi uncles?
They have a great source of information within them and what you can get off them is not like anything you can read off the newspaper.
Tonight, the topic was on FT. Normally, FT will be referring to those from North of SG aka China but today, we touch on those from NE of SG aka philippines and NW of SG aka India.
Because the uncles have first hand experience with them, they are in a better position to judge and comment. The uncle tonight seems like a rather unbiased and soft spoken man but when it comes to those from the service line and IT field, he sure gets agitated.
Let's just hope that what he hopes for come true.
But when that happens, who will fill up the vacancies?
The uncle also commented that its very unfair for our generation and those younger. We have to study so hard to get a degree and yet it will still be difficult to find a job after that. Then we are caught in the rat race to see who can have a better standard of living.
Our parents and grandparents all contributed to the development of Singapore, hoping for a better life for their children. They labour hard and now we have to study hard. At the end of the day, is that piece of paper really that important? Are we only able to get those information/knowledge if we attend university?
Luxury items. Do we really need that Mazda 3 when a vios can do the same job at a lower cost. Is the LV bag necessary to raise your status when a bag one-tenth the value can hold all the items you want and as long as you look and act decent, you can portray any status you want.
Although I have to admit that several times I toyed with the idea of getting a few hundred dollars bag but at the end of the day, that airtick always got my money.
I do travel too much for my own good, but other than my nz trip 3 yrs back, all my other trips cost less than 2k each. I travel not to pamper myself (i do not need to cause my bdrm is good enough) but to see and experience something different. Something I cannot see/do/feel in my BAU life. These are the things that money can't buy, these are what they call priceless, these are usually the best things in life that is free.
