Harsh life of singaporeans

Well, I don't know if you realised this. Singaporeans are like the 2nd grade Hongkees. I guess its due to our overly-urbanised society that we become:

• Sacastic in speech when things do not go our way
• Critques to every other little detail that does not follow suit
• Paparazzi gossips when we see new juicy rumours taking place
• Insensitive to cutural differences but not racist
• Materialistic for brands
• but still complain about why government has to increase the GST to 7%
• overly anxious for departmental sales and deals a.k.a kiasu
• Prententious sbout being very cultured and open-minded
• when deep down we are extremely conservative
• Sterotypers in crime
• VERY competitive so much so to the verge of just another step of just killing the competition
  

Though you might not see it. But we are all guilty of if not all, some of the mentioned. In some point of time in our lives, we DO either stand around the office or call up each other to gossip about the many different people we know. We complain ALOT. Never satisfied with this, with that. Ever hardly you will get to see a Singaporean who really understands and lives through the meaning of "自足长乐". Translation: to live in self-contentment.

One will ask, "Why? Aren't you like that too?". Hey, I admit. So, what's my purpose? To reflect. I don't believe in religion. So much so you can call me an atheist. However to proceed smoothly in life, there has to be a balance. Singaporeans are all fast-paced. Forgetting to slow down. We kinda behave like this nation of super efficient and effective production-line workers that just keep doing and doing without processing our brains. Its good to think but not all the time.(Yup. I'm guilty of thinking all the time.)

This is my first time writing something kinda sensitive. Well. So?
