With inflation going up, I wonder how living in sunny island Singapore will be like in the coming years. I remember back in Primary school, my parents would snidely observe how our generation has gone all soft & easy. We are a molly coddled age of internet and instant gratification - fat with too much food & love.

Yes, we are. But we face a tougher world. A harsher future. Where once what made a good employee was hardwork, punctuality & obedience, now we require creativity, lightning fast adaptibility & constant upgrade.

This makes me wonder how the hell the next generation will cope in such a pressure cooker & hugely expensive society. I guess sooner or later we'll all forget what it means to be human - running this absurd rat race of the 21st century.
