I was talking to a friend from Shanghai the other day. Throughout the whole conversation, she had a thousand and 1 complaints about Singapore. Interestingly, I didn't try to defend us.
Somehow, I agree with her...Well, how would u react to the following?
-air and water quality is bad. She used to love going to the beach when she was working in Australia. At least once every week. I asked her about the beach in Singapore. Her reaction was, "I went to the different beach in Singapore. Went to all of them once and I don't think I will go again...the water is really dirty"
-The weather is hot, that doesn't allow your skin to "calm down", ie to rest cos' your pores are expanded. So you will need extra effort on applying those skin care products in order to restore yor skin to a healthy level. In fact, she's not the first person from China who made that comment to me. Many return to China being questioned on their skin condition. She mentioned that gals back there doesn't rely much on makeup and skin care products given the air quality. Here in Singapore, it's a must to do so...so sad..
-Everyone is so stressed out. Does Singaporean really know what is quality of life? It's all about waking up to go to work and going straight home after which cos' u are too tired at the end of the day(esp if u are in the service line) Maybe that's why many Singaporeans drag to me in the service line and that's why we are getting in much foreigners to fill up the positions?
-Singaporeans are workaholics. Does anyone dare to say no to their employer and reason with their boss on the workload and excessive hours clocked?
What's your comments?
