Suddenly, I had a random thought.

Is having too much experience bad? Maybe it has become the case for me. Working too much day to day, ignoring the simple pleasures of life, understanding how ugly the real world is, developing an instinct which is related directly to money and success.

So as I thought. I recall the times when I was at Japan. Life there was tough too. Depression and stress caught up with the office class. Thus leading to the decreasing birth rate there. Economic development was rapid there. But not all was good.

Soon after, average stress levels has risen to an all time high. Many social problems has surfaced. People have become so realistic and materialistic that their standard and cost of living is insane. It has become to a standard that so many high school students have a desire to end their lives just because they do not have or can't afford a PS3 or even an LV wallet. Many more have turned into paid dating whereby stressed adults pay these high school kids just to have artificial love. More have even resulted to prostitution just to maintain the high standard of living. To be honest, the mindset that girls are just for that purpose is quite common in quite a lot of Japanese despo freaks.

They can't totally be blamed too. Its in the Japanese culture that they are follow up extremely fast with trends. An example would be when the Americans first landed at Japan in the early 1920s. Rapid industrialization occurred and as the World was unable to keep up with the rapid industrialization of Japan, where they proved that they were more superior than Europeans, the Eastern chaos was created in the form of the Axis Japan's World War 2 efforts. Probably a food for thought may come in the form of the root of all evil coming in the form of the distant America. Bearing in mind that this topic may become controversial and I may end up shot dead by FBI Agents, I shall not proceed any further.

The reason of having this thought in my head would be due to the fact that Singapore is vastly similar to the Japanese in many ways. It is and will be soon if stress levels continue to increase.

For some reason, I feel that ITE aint the end. ITE would probably be the place where stupid people can actually pay more attention to the simple pleasures of life. Despite the fact that they could never really have a fully exciting life where money can buy the pleasures they so desire, they get to really relax and lepak one corner.

This topic would eventually get controversial. Thus, I shall go eat my sausages now and do a duet with the pig living to me next door. Until tomorrow Rainie Yang. =]
