A HWZ user recently posted on the forum about how his friends are so shallow. They talk about property, stocks and girls during their conversations which he felt that they were trapped in the “Singapore Matrix”.
Here is the full story.
Whole day talk about property, car, stocks, hawker food, southeast asian girls.
Do they know anything about culture, arts, music, history and architecture? Do they know beauty of nature?
Have they heard of composers like Lisz, Berthold Brecht, Heinrich Heine, Goethe? Have they read Faust? Or books from Tolstoy?
Do they know difference between architectures Gothic, Baroque(Rococo), Renaissance ?
Have they appreciate paintings of Surrealist Selvatore Da Li? Or watch exhibitions of Andy Warhol? Have they marveled at paintings of Impressionists like Monet?
Have they heard of love story of Franz Josef and Sisi? Or eccentricity of King Ludwig?
Have they hike up Alps? Enjoy views of Walchensee and Königsee? Have they swam at lakes of Geneva or Tergernsee? Or marvelled at Beauty of Danube river?
Have they engaged in passinate Latin dances like Salsa?
I cried silently as i went home at the lost years that locusts in Singapore has taken away from my frens and love ones
