It seems I can't really expand my boundaries beyond where they are.
Just restraint. Restraint, restraint, restraint, everywhere.
And then there's political correctness. I wish we didn't have to be slaves to it. When will people appreciate non-conformists? People (specifically Singaporeans) just think that once you look different or you've a different point of view, whatever you say is automatically personal.
I disagree with my mother all the time. But just a harmless question can set her off the hook and all skeptical about my "hidden agendas" and "motives" and all that Fifth Dimension crap. I'm sorry, did I offend you? So it's now my fault that you're weak and you feel the need to defend every little comment? Why don't you question your insecurity first? Oh, too afraid to do that, too? Well, thanks a lot for criticising me for criticising you for criticising me for- well you get the point.
Where's the sense of humour? Where's forgiving and forgetting? I can't believe just words, or a joke, can bruise someone's ego so bad that they feel the need to patch it all up with adhesive trash.
See, this is why the only mode of humour universally tolerant in Singapore is speaking in Singlish.
Grow a pair. Even if you're female. Just... grow one.
