Singapore's "Weapon of Mass Destruction" - The 66.6%

With the WMD in place, living a life here seem like being a contestant on survivor, the popular reality show. Do your share the same feeling?

Everything is moving fast but our pay is the only thing that's crawling like a tortoise. Living standard has gone up so much that even a non-smoker, non drinker like myself are having second thoughs staying & working here. Although the crime is relatively low here, but we are basically being legally robbed to the limit everyday.

When thinking of working,
- Changes to processes is faster than your ability to adapt it.
- Templates are making us look silly.
- The environment is "Colder" than the central Aircon itself.

When thinking of meeting friends,
- Going town to get a life had to be canceled due to ERP operating till 8pm.
- Going home had to be delayed due to ERP operating till 10.30pm.

When thinking of buying something,
- Spending had to be limited to in order not to cross monthly budget due to GST hike.
- Some retailer are quoting their selling price without GST.

When thinking of starting a family,
- Over 10000 Application for the 300 Flats available, what are the chances?

Are you tired & sick of being Singaporean? When you need to endure the coldness which even a sauna can't keep you warm; when you need to stay out late just to go home without pay extra using the road; when you have to visit chinese temple for free lunch & dinner just to have enough enjoyment...

Will you be happy?
