Jadedness
Posted at 08:20.39 and filed under Rantings, SingaporeI dunno, but having worked for the govt for the past 3 weeks, I have grown somewhat jaded of the policies that are happening in the school and in singapore.
Of course we read about the myth that Singapore is a pristine garden city that just got exposed. We know that it is the bangla cleaners who ensure that the city is ready for “show” by 6am everyday. Before 6am, if it’s in a mess, especially in the HDB areas, it’s ok. No tourist will come one. Showtime’s only @ 6am.
We are like living in Disneyland rite, everyone’s contributing to the show. And yes, the trees that are being planted, or should i say, positioned in the marina area for the IMF conference are your props as well.
Are we a nanny state? I’m inclined to think that i’m in somewhat of a nanny school. The school just started a ban on all canned soft drinks, and guess what, skinned chicken meat. We are only gonna get naked chicken from now on. Let’s not start on the restriction of shallow fried foods to only tuesdays. So yes, we will get skinless chicken cutlet on tuesdays, big yay! Parents have complained that their children told them that these days their kids dun get joy from eating in school. Guess the school’s reply?
“Do you want them to enjoy eating in school or have a healthy diet?”
