Awaken by the hail the alarm clock brings, we are bought back to reality.
With almost no time for a good breakfast, we rush to where the society expects us to be and do: work, work, and more work.
That is really what is in it for most Singaporeans. It really turely is a mad world out there running a never-ending race. All of us are involved, no one is left out. Individuals cannot help but ponder who started this damn thing and before he can dig deeper, he finds out that his project is due tomorrow; exams is in one week time; bills are still unsettled; bleh bleh bleh... you name it, Singapore has it.
So, why are we all doing this for? For money? Happiness? Power? Seriously, the blind veil of democracy is high stress level. Companies compete and students follow. The economy rushes and everyone must follow; for fear of being left out. If it is for money, then one can never find enough of it. What is happiness if you're living in constant pressure... The real culprit then is surely power.
We all want the best for ourselves and what is digusting is overdoing it, resulting in power hunger. To put it blantly, democracy encourages it.
There is really nothing much we can do since democracy is seemingly the world's solution to its problems. What we can do is to embrace ourselves for the tougher future. What the youths call 'Tanking' the workload may well be the best solution for individuals. If anytime, and I am sure it will be soon, you find it stressful, just remember we all in it together.
To end this, I would like to shout,"It is a really mad world."
