Well, I really am lost for a topic to centre this blog around. I mean, last year we could write about anything and anything, right? So why restrict ourselves this year? So,I sat on a three seater, red and rusty bench in the park below my flat and thought. Nothing came to mind. And I mean it. Nothng.
I watched with complete boredom as neighbours, some friends, some strangers jogging past me. Then, I saw this plump kid jogging past me. Okay, honestly speaking, my pet turtle from two years ago could crawl faster than him. His red, puffy cheeks were soaked in sweat and his titanic belly bounced with an ominous rhythm. He was exhausted, I could tell. But something about just seemed very familiar...
Then, I watched as I saw two little children cycle past me with zest. They were only about six, judging by their scrawny composure, pimple-free and round faces. If I remembered correctly, one was shouting "What the ****, how come u so fast one?" Sigh, I do not ever recall myself being so offensive during my childhood. However, what shocked me more was the need for competition at such a young age. My oh my, why are Singaporeans so competitive in everything? It sort of reminded me of the so called "battle" between RI and HCI. Chuckling, I imagined both of them growing up to enter these two schools...
In a brief moment of amusement, I finally found my interest. I found something worth blogging about. I am going to write about the "Singapore Ideology". You know, that funny topic we did for the first CA discussion? Yeah, that is the one.
What do the government expect of us as Singaporeans? What do we expect from ourselves as Singaporeans?
