Stress levels OVER 9000

Hey guys!

So I know my last blog post which was about 10 years ago was a little......angsty.

Yea I was raging very badly.

But enough about that, today I'm not going to be doing that. (Or maybe I will)

'Stress ah!!!!!"

I think this two words are damn common among us students/youngsters/teenagers and even adults nowadays.

Why ah? Cos we live in Singapore loh, that's why bo bian.

Kidding. Stress happens everywhere, that's why people commit suicide, starve themselves, self abuse and all that bad things. It's not necessarily do to the heavy workload that's place upon us about every second of the day. There are many reasons for stress.

But in Singapore, we have a few different reasons to get stressed.....

1. Work, work, work, and oh.........work.

I don't think there's actually a day in Singapore we're free of work. Sure may lepak for one whole day at times, WHILE worrying about the outstanding work we have. I don't think we can rest without worrying about how your exam results are or how you will be able to complete your homework (copy lah of course)

Even when we do have holidays, guess what? HOLIDAY HOMEWORK PEOPLE!!

2. The weather

We all so scared of kena heat stroke, fall sick, sweat like mad. Cos the weather in Singapore is so bloody hot we can cook one whole set of dinner courses on the roadside itself. Not only that, everytime we go out hor, the moment we step out of the house it's like the temperature changed by a few degrees. And that's not the worse, when you go on public transport, the aircon is meant to cool you down. BUT NO, the combined heat of all the hot people from Singapore makes you sweat like a pig.

And you wonder why we like to go shopping centers. Shopping also lah....

3. Money money money........wah lao fly away liao.

First day of the week, get pocket money. By the middle of the week need start eating only chicken nuggets or go diet to save money, if not by end of week hor all the money fly to your favourite stall in the canteen already.

Those people that are lucky enough to be able to get much more money for the allowance also anyhow spend, then they by the end of the week see their wallet only got coins left. Summore also not $1 coin is those 10 cent 20 cents nia...

So people, remember to spend money wisely, only on food and everything else!!

Sometimes I look at my wallet and I cry.....because I miss Yusof Ishak's face so much.

4. Parents

I think all of you can relate to this.

Nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag nag.

Wah siao liao, I want do homework also cannot concentrate because got orchestra playing in front of me.

Summore the orchestra conductor is bad.

I hate how parents nag, even though it's for our own good. It makes us worried that we aren't doing well enough and we do try our best to "do our best" for our homework. For those with siblings it's even worse, you get compared to your brothers, sisters, neighbours kids, pet dog, pet cat, pet fish, neighbours pets, ah ma, ah gong, neighbours ah ma ah gong. I kid about the last few.

And then parents ask us "AIYO AH BOY/AH GIRL AH, WHY YOU LOOK SO STRESS???"

Cos I always kena tekan by you at home?
