on the one hand, there are 'sex craze' sporeans tt engage in sex with minors, made numerous sex videos, possess child porn etc..
on e other hand, e gahmen is so worried abt marriage rates & babies such tt it is launching a 'dating campaign' soon..
wat an extreme...
first thing tt comes to my mind: u cant blame sporeans for complaining abt e gahmen for being over controlling if it is trying to social engineer in almost all social aspects!!!
looking around my frens (which is large enough to make a normal distribution for graduates), most (80-90%) wanted to get married some point in time & they ARE now on the lookout for potential mates..
so e last thing e gahmen needs to do is to launch a dating campaign cos we all know & wanna date!!
but its jus tt love is a very elusive thing! it seems like e more one is searching for it, e more one cant seem to get it..
i can vouch for it, most of my other friends can as well..
& being over active in looking for one may also be deemed as 'desperate' so we also tend to be more subtle..
result of part of Asian characteristic + Asian society opinion/stigma!!
so if e gahmen wanna this situation to improve, PLS first remove this stigma ya??
oh ya, & PLS aim at e parents instead of e youngsters too!!
it still puzzles me why at this age, there are parents behaving e way they are.
Eg 1: calling their daughters at 10pm on a fri/sat nite & ask them where they are, who they are with & wan them to go home asap
Eg 2: expect their daughters to jus commute between work & home.. minimal going out..
Eg 3: a strict 'no dating' rule in Uni & still frown when the daughter start to reach home late when she is working, accusing her of 'so fast start to date/get a boyfriend liao'..
& e cute thing is, with these 'rules' imposed on e daughters, these parents still expect their daughters to be able to find a boyfriend & get married in future??!!
oh come on, STOP dreaming!!
guys WONT jus drop from e sky!! tho this is quite a joke between me + one grp of frens =P
so cant jus blame e youngsters!!
& read that research has shown tt the more 'educated/cultured' a family is, e less likely e daughter will hav 桃花運.
cos e family too strict liao so how can a gurl find her future spouse?
even if find one, e parents are most likely to be picky & hiam here hiam there.. haiz..
it is alr not easy to find a person whom u share mutual feelings with, much less one that meet your expectaions..
hence we realli dun need parents to intervene or restrict to further complicate things
& my conclusion: this campaign wont work, save e $1 million for more constructive projects pls
some spur of e moment thoughts:
在不對的時間遇不到對的人是無謂
在對的時間遇不到對的人是遺憾
在不對的時間遇到不對的人是無奈
在對的時間遇到不對的人是痛苦
在不對的時間遇到對的人是心碎
在對的時間遇到對的人是幸福
