Hmmm.. sumthing i've observed...

yea... it is sumthing tt i've observed for sum time already....

As most of you know tt i'm a MRT guy (a guy who likes taking train rather than bus) lolx... yea and bcos of this, i've come to observe the many faces is see daily in the trains.... well, at first i thot it maybe fatigue, but as days goes by, and with variations in boarding timings within a day... i noticed something....




Practically, the faces i see everytime are often solemn, sumtimes with a worried look...




well.. it kinda affects my mood too u noe? haha.. tts y i like to listen to songs in trains whenever i can... or else my emo-ness will be amplified!! LOLX! well yah... coming back to my point... well does this tells us tt the overall mental health of singaporeans plagued by stress and problems?? well to be frank, not only in trains i see this, but on the streets, in coffee shops....

With the economy of the coutry doing so well, has it brought misery to the society instead??

Its actually a common thing in today's society.

Technological more advanced, more wealthy, more modernized, much more 'civilized' era, its only touching on the surface, cover, material.

Emotionally, spiritually, majority of us are drained.We nelgected them.

Imagine a person has to work till 7pm everyday, goes to work next day at 7am. Does he has time for family? for himself?

Our body need food. So does our mind and soul.Both of them are 'starving' in this modern society.

Our forefathers? its the opposite. Thus, i feel a balance needs to be strike. From young, we have been neglecting our inner heart's need. Feelings, spiritual.We think it is 'unseen', therefore 'not important'. We left it undeveloped, starving. When we go to work,we simply too occupied.

Singapore is a typical example. We are going too fast. Too hastle, less speed. Going too fast only invite extra problems. We are over exerting ourselve, competing 'no 1' in all things. Come on, we are only a small dot. We can fight to improve our living conditions, and do well in the world stage. But we need not add extra stress, to be no1. no1 only invite jealousy and conflicts. Local sporeans, looking 'solomn'? nono..solomn is a beautiful word. Sacred and holy. Its SNOBBISH. Or 'yaya', 'emotionless'.'stone face'.

We are material wealthy, but we are thirsty in spiritual and emotion. We lack morale values, resulting selfishness, self centered behaviour. The stupid emotionless face we see in mrt is a good example. Does someone own them money? or murder their family? that need to put on such a face?
