Read some articles recently on the slamming of the RJC girl who seemed to have elitist attitudes towards ppl who are less "elite" than herself. Suddenly realised the reason blogging could sometimes feel so difficult when at times you just wish to rant out the hurts and unfairness in the world. Created a blog so I could rant and rave about things irresponsible and tabooed to the public ears. Guessed a blog is no longer a private column to shout about life but perhaps the evolution of a public portal with comments link serving as a forum to slammed what you typed as right or wrong.
What's wrong with a girl venting her fustrations? Seemed like anyting with the subject of "class", "race/ethnicity" and "notion of how our government should work" are constantly being put to show on our local newspapers. Where's the freedom to even type? I find myself thinking hard of my construction of sentences in case they sound wrong to some people. Haha.
Well, maybe that's why blogs are usually people putting photos about their life, trying to hype up the mundane stuffs that are constantly the same everyday. Where's the will to think? I can think about the poor, which links to the bureaucratic proletariat and bourgeoisie's society, which makes you wonder why things work the way they do? I guess most stuffs should be kept thinking in your brain. Then again, why do you need to pen them down? Let's just say it's a form of release.
The issue about the RJC girl is her thoughts, not her physical features. For those who had made fun of her womanly figure, woe be to you that one day you may have the same exact humiliation! Seriously, if she was pretty like Dawn Yang maybe she would have gotten better reviews, but then again, many would propose she might have gone through plastic surgery. Well well well... The world is materialistic. Ppl think differently, so spare a thought for this young abberation. I'm sure non-elite like us may not have the liberation to experience what an elite like her may have to go through in our own belief of her "hassle-free" life. She needs an output, just like many of us I guess. She's just been made an example and I really pity her. So many examples around lately, e.g. Tammy NYP (and my gf's bf actually recognize her out on the streets!) How the hell are the examples gonna carry on with their lives?
The government always says Singaporean are bo chup. But seriously, we just like to chup the deviant examples in our life, always the first to point out what it should have been instead. That doesn't get us into trouble I guess. Haa.
I'm not hating her like the fellow cyber commentators, just thought it's sad she's made an example. But well, consequences are high. So mouths will be kept shut. What happens to the future of Singapore? More control is what I feel.
Read George Orwell's 1984. Sad book, parts of it true though.
