Haha...went to xy's blog juz now...and maybe i'll consider having my own website too =D
I've been watching lotsa films lately, hoping to catch sth that would teach me more abt life, bring me out of my confusion. But i'm usually disappointed. I guess Life itself is the best teacher....
I've settled into Nj...into my routine & my classmates. Been having lots of laughs with them these days...cracking jokes abt "Missing", an odd but not unlikely couple (according to huiling) in the class and abt a particular male classmate *ggrrrrr* I can see myself living like this till the end of the year..Hmmm...must take photos of my class & sch one day
I've seen a few blogs and seems like many pple are depressed inside. Like, they always act happy & cheerful when actually they feel as depressed as everyone else. But isn't inexplicable? That we, a generation weened on comfort, are severely depressed?
We practically grew up with MRT and affluence and globalisation. But on the flip side, we suffer from the pressure to do well in our studies, CCA & being an all-rounder. There are parents who are willing to spend large amounts of money for tuition classes. We have the best of everything and yet we're still insatiated. Starved.
Starved, i think, of a purpose in life. We study so much that we miss out what really matters in life. Like, developing a love for country and community. (btw MOE's NE programme is screwed. Doomed for failure.) Seriously, at this age, we don't know what we want to do with our lives. We study so much but in the end it has no relation to what we want to do. WTH. Some of us don't even know what the heck we're doing in JC, only entering JC on parents insistence or just going with the flow. And it doesn't help that the govt always takes care of us, to the extent that we've become a generation that only know enjoyment but not ambition.
Sigh. Wish there was a film studies course in Singapore.
Sigh. Every generation has its own worries.
