Remember your humanity

Momento mori

All death will come, sooner or later.
No one is spared, and can never be spared.
Remember your humanity.
Remember what you're living for.

So carpe diem, seize the day, do what's worth living. Not something everything wants you to do. Don't conform to the society, don't be the slave of judgement, be yourself.
'Even if I die... I wanna die as myself, not just a slave of the capital' 
-Peeta Mellark, the hunger games.


I would rather travel around the world, experience everything this world has to offer rather than be rich. I would rather extract from the sweet knowledge of the humanities, than to engage in the destruction of the Earth for the money.
Happiness is what everyone desire, but few achieve

I would rather be happy than rich. I would rather be with the one I love than to be cooped up in a filthy mansion, forever alone.
Happiness is something I wanna achieve, I wanna share with the ones I love.
Wealth, power, fame were never what I desired.
All I need is enough to support myself and those I love in the future. Food on the table, clothes in the wardrobe, enough to pay for the bills and some luxuries, but not enough to make me filthy rich.

Have you ever been tired of studying? Have you every felt the futility of life, the subtle hints of fatigue in your daily life? The ever present stress on your life as you struggle through every single day, and heave a sigh of relief only when you collapse onto your bed? As you retrieve into your own dreamland where the your fantastical explorations and adventures leaves you ever the more tired in the present time?

Welcome to life.
Welcome to the life of a student.
Welcome to the life of a Singaporean student.

Anyone who has questioned the meaning of life would have thought about achieving happiness.
We spend our time studying, achieving, and conforming with the society. We try to do all we can to achieve the definition of success by our society. Our 5C's, a definitive gauge of how successful we are.
But no, nothing gauges our happiness.


Singapore might be one of the richest country in the world, but it is in the bottom few when it came to the happiness of the people. 
Stress, constant success, SOCIETY all dictates us. 
We aren't happy.


We should start being happy though
