  Well, I'm just glad that I'll probably be dead and buried (or more likely dead and snugly fit into an urn!  ) before things become really really unbearably bad!

  do we need to "remain competitive" ?

  why should a person be made to sprint like a maniac to be No.1 when he can be happier and take things easy and be No.2 or No.3?

  if we take into account intangibles, i think the No.1 would be dead last.. or dead..

  i think Bhutan got it right.. they don't look at GDP.. they look at how happy their people are..

  sometimes, i think the pursuit of happiness should be the way to go

  me, as somewhat of an idealist who rejects the unthinking rat-race hope this happens one day

   

  Ask these questions to the govt running Singapore.  I'm not the one who set the goals and anyways, I opted out of the crazy rat race by becoming a nurse and then subsequently showed my ultimate displeasure at the horrible working conditions for nurses by voting not just with my mouth, but by moving my ass out of the whole ridiculous situation.    

  I think you can always move to say, Bali or the lovely idyllic areas in Thailand if you want to live that sort of life.  Or even, move to happy Bhutan.

  Err Bear your thinking is too high level for most people to understand

  Just look at SC  and that is the standard layman talk

   

  Ya man and the HDB is still not revising the ceiling for HDB

  Most people will have to pay through their noses and which private property now is around 700k? Maybe if the market crashes

  I think I'll go out and get some air or something.

  Can't even focus on reading a single journal paper.

  Sigh..... I do seem to fall sick easily while under high pressure.....

  if it is double-printed or something else and ends up in circulation, it's worth a lot more than $800...
