Experience in Singapore

As a Singaporean, experiencing Singapore is something I do daily.

My entire life.

Let's say, it's not something very enjoyable SOMETIMES.

Ofcourse the friends and some people I meet here are awesome, but also from people here I've grown to despise the Asian culture.

BUT these are purely my own opinions. It could be disregarded if you don't agree.

This morning I was waiting for the MRT (train).

it came out on the news once that Singaporeans have improved their attitude and have learnt to queue while waiting for the MRT.

oh yes maybe they have.

But the typical Singaporean aunty i was very unfortunate to have met this morning, shoved her way through to the front once the trained arrive. Everyone queing at the side of the MRT door had to let her in first.

Not that it's a big matter.

It's just annoying how people say elders have more experience and their words and actions deserve respect and recognition.

I have to say, that is pure rubbish.

Ofcourse, it is the ideal case that people who've lived longer would've gained enough lessons in life to act as a role model to younger people like me.

But no, some people in Singapore would act as evidence AGAINST the above.

maybe we should start looking at the western culture and see that the parents and elders there actually believe they have to earn the respect and love of the younger.

Instead of just thinking they deserve it.

No hard feelings.

But if the shoes fits, wear it. (If you think I'm talking about you, you ought to be ashamed)

Secondly, is the issue of displaying affection in public.

I'm a happy girl in her teens that just got together with a guy that I feel I am in love with.

Something I feel I am proud of.

Something that definitely could be known by others.

What the hell is wrong with SOME Asians and their discrimination against affection in public.

Oh c'mon, it's not like I'm appearing nude in public.

it makes me think some people are too lonely and sad in their pathetic cavemen life that they feel the need to be unhappy about others display of affection.

In fact, it's hardly even a display if we're just minding our own business and being in our own world of teenage love.

Mind your own business please.

We have our rights.

This typical aunty (definitely a Singaporean aka asian) was giving us death glares and muttering under her breath on how we should go home to do whatever we wanna do.

I really hope you're reading this AUNTY, I do not agree with what you said. It is very ignorant of you to say that. YOU are the one that needs to go home if others happiness cause displeasure in you.

SHAME on you.

I have great respect for parents and elders with OPEN mindsets.

I have met elders who actually believe that we youngsters could just be as wise and deserve just as much respect as them.

Elders who actually believe that we know our limits.

Seriously, those aunties(typical Singaporean THICK SKINNED aunties) should probably learn from youngsters.

There's a Chinese saying 不耻下问

If you need an advise on how to be less ignorant to how the society have changed, please ask the teenagers.

I am not referring to anyone in particular, but yet again, if anyone suits the above "AUNTY" description, you need to reflect.
