Thursday, August 28, 2008 angry little girls 10:33 PM     the last one is my favourite. hahaha. aren't they funny!copy right of angrylittlegirls.com =) go check out the website they have crazybitch stuff. 0 comments rejection 12:32 AM application deadlines are already nearing, and it's fucking scary. how am i supposed to write about your achievements and aspirations and why you want this job in less than 1000 characters? i realise i am deathly afraid of applying in case i get rejected. it's like post A levels once more. when you receive no after no from others who judge you as capable or not. i'm going to try anyway. worst case scenario? no job, i'll live off my dad forever and ever. wheeee. i can be the spoilt brat that i'm assumed to be! 0 comments Friday, August 22, 2008 on identity 10:14 AM i casually mentioned that i wished she was covering the natyasastra in class and to that he says why don't you ask her for an extract? actually you shouldn't, what if you lose faith in that too muahaha. the father tells me this is why we should stop sending people to universities, they think too much. so says the man with a phD, married to another with a phD, no wonder this family is so wonderfully screwed up hahah. anyway, if i had beene doing south asian studies, i know what my honours thesis would have been about. if i had been doing theatre studies, i know what my honours thesis would have been on. but no, i'm doing econs. i don't have a thesis (: 0 comments Wednesday, August 20, 2008 on taxis and children, separately 8:51 AM so i have this distate for taxis cos these bloody surcharges are everywhere! 35% peak hour surcharge, 50% midnight surcharge, then fuel tax and then $2 for something, $3 for something - sometimes even surcharges are greater than taxi fare itself. i haven't even started on ERP yet. it used to cost me $7.50 max to get to fine arts. it's gone up to 11 now. and when you get in a taxi, you're surprised with the extra surcharges that you have to unknowingly pay which makes you wonder why the hell did i take a taxi in the first place, couldn't i have been more responsible and not gotten up late and taken the bus instead?! anyway - i don't take taxis unless the situation calls for it. i thought this was just me, until my mum come shome yesterday and says my god, $15 to get home from serangoon, this is ridiculous! thank god i work if not i'd feel so guilty about spending money on cabs. HAH so it's not just me with my irrational fear of taxis. apparently it runs in the family. so children. so lately there's been much discussion on children and why singapoeans don't have them and it was so important that it was in our NDR. this is my quick take on it (i've got lots of opinions but who cares for opinions nowadays): having children is essentially a woman's choice. economically - if the country puts pressure on her to be productive and contribute to GDP, if there's pressure to do as well as everybody else, the opportunity cost of having kids is greater. we would have to give up too much to have a child. long working hours have become the norm, where's the time for kids? the continued emphasis on us about being productive units of labour has resulted in us not wanting to produce future productive units of labour. mutually exclusive. not going to work. socially- if women have to take care of the household (since in our patriarchal society men apparently aren't ingrained ot help out), if women have to take care of their husbands (cos they need a lot of attention haha), if women have to manage their careers - on top of that i don't think we want the additional responsibility of managing a baby. i think we'd go crazy. seriously, it would help if men and women had shared domestic responsibility, shared childcaring responsibilities and then womwn can achieve this blasted 'work life balance' thingamajig that is the new buzzword thrown about lately. men, you want kids? help your wife out. don't think that since you are a man it is not your place to do such things. sweep the floor. clean the toilet. and i don't mean paying someone else to do it. pick up the damn brush and scrub, you bastards! hahah. singapore, you want kids? cut the obsession for being the top in everything. that's not an incentive for a woman to give up a career to start a family. okay verbal diarrhoea over. 0 comments Friday, August 15, 2008 all i really want 11:05 AM 1. involvement in bharathanatyam (classes plus performing) 2. involvement in theatre so the stage slut in me can be released 3. something to prove my 'economics-ness' 4. time to study to get good grades 5. time for the boy 6. socialising 7. sleep. HOW!?! fuck. 0 comments |
