A lot of things happened around me lately...
And I feel quite helpless....
As there is not much advice I can offer...
And nothing I can help...
But I guess, only the involved parties will know the situation best...
And all they need is just a listening ear?
*shrugs*
Was thinking around the topic 'Love'...
It's really a very strange thing...
It can hit you when you are least aware of it...
It can also leave you anytime and make you feel like you are stranded...
Was having a talk with the boy's mum in the car the other day..
When I drove her to the CC...
She mentioned that she and her ex-husband has never quarrelled before...
And she finds it strange that the younger generation is using the word 'break-up' so freely...
That leaves me thinking...
Is that really the case?..
Is the love between older folks stronger?
Or is their determination stronger?
Divorce rates are going up..
What is wrong?....
Is it coz it is easier and cheaper to file for a divorce now?
Is it coz people speak up more for themselves these days?
Or is it simply coz we use the word 'love' too freely?
Birth rates are coming down...
That was the headline of the papers today...
I am sure the govt won't be too pleased to see that their baby bonus is not doing much....
I guess one of the reasons why birth rates are coming down is coz people are not getting married nowadays...
MM Lee mentioned that there are more singles in the age group 25-30 year on year....
Is it coz we just dun wanna settle down early?
Or is it coz of other reasons, e.g: cost of living, work stress, etc....
Personally, I support the govt's notion to improve birth rate among singaporeans....
Coz I do not wish for Singapore to be taken over by foreigners one day....
On another note, I realised I really really hate reading up on politics..
Was trying to act diligent and read up the news..
And I only managed to understand and digest things like...
'Teacher got jailed for amending PSLE scripts', 'VW and Porshce merges'...
I tried to read up on the Myanmar uproar....
And I totally don't understand a single shit...
Thank god the boy explained the whole story to me during our dinner....
Wahahahahaa.....wonder how he digests the whole newspapers during his shitting time..:)
