elitism

what is it with the fascination of becoming an elite? to be the best there is? if judging from what i observed during the National Day Dinner for all the big shots, i guess then i'd rather be a normal ordinary nobody.

no disrespect towards those that have made it through on their own merit, but what irks me most is the behaviour of those that are born into their status. i mean, kids running around playing about can be forgiven, but a below 10 kid DEMANDING something, throwing about their weight? hey, so what if you're a fucking son/daughter of a big fucking minister or even the prime minister or some general? you're just another kid to me, punk. and the worse part is, one of the kids even left his/her half eaten ice cream on the bar counter, melting away. wow. didnt your fucking parents teach you dont waste your food? in my days, ice cream was a luxury, and now some young ass just sucked on it for a while and lef it lying around, waiting for their maid to clean up after them. these people should be packed up and sent away to some third world country, or better yet, made to wash toilets in army camps in the place of those poor uncles and aunties.

recently browsed through an entry of a certain high profile blogger here and it made me laugh. she was complaining about having to walk further than expected from the directions given to her by some soldier. 40minutes, 10 minutes, so whats the big deal, it isnt as if she's going to give birth or die soon. its just a fucking wait for bus. and she wrote something about the soldier about making her walk further or something like that, couldnt recall, too lazy to revisit that drag of a site. well, i think she's just plain spoiled. people like her should be made to suffer the same treatment as those kids in the above. so what if she suffered blisters and had to walk further. did she ever walk 40++km of tracks with at least 10kgs of weight on your back all through the night to the next day?

if these are the people i'm defending singapore for, then i'd say "eff you", show them the "good luck" finger and then proceed to join the enemy.

Till now, I'm beginning to feel that there's this invisible caste system that is setting into our society. Given to our standard of living, I seriously believe that the gap between the rich and the poverty will be further widen.

Come to think that all these rich people will be able to to provide the best of the education. Logically speaking all the top schools are not public schools.

I'll really respect those who'd attained scholarship especially if they're not from rich family. It really takes a lot of effort and courage to overcome these obstacles.

However, there are still a handful who have problems and difficulties in receiving a proper education. For example, having certain impairments, autism and whatnots.

But as human resource becomes the ONLY resource that we can tap and invest, have our society forgotten that there are still these lot of people lagging behind?

But one thing I really feel after being in the military service for almost two years, the elite in the service, the senior officers and such, not all have the qualities to match their rank. Since much of these rankings are result-base, similiar to our schooling days.

Anyway, it's a blessings to lead simple life.

And regarding you were saying about these high profile female blogger part, I'm starting to having this disillusion too. So many Singaporeans apparently knowing how to whine, get vain and whatnots. Are they really worth the blood, tears and sweat that we'd shed back in school's time?

Haha...

Seems like in the end, we're being made a fool... =)

hahaa.. yeah.. that particular post felt really hilarious to me.. hahahha.. she's a spoilt kid..

HOWEVER.. i do feel that though rich or poor (usually the slightly lesser fortunate), some pple who gained scholarships and stuff just for their excellent grades tend to be really really stuck up.. and its damn hard to talk to them as they've developed a highly individualistic behavior evolved from their former inferiority complex... at least, that's my opinion..

btw, i link u up yeah, yiyang.. =)
