Those 3 years made such a difference in my life. It's strange that though I was born and bred on this Little Red Dot, I feel so displaced after only 3 years away. I feel that I don't belong and there are so many things which, I think, are better out there.
Was talking with cousin (Isaac) in the car and he mentioned that all the unis here on Little Red Dot have their orientation programmes stipulated and approved by the SDU. What is this?! OK, yes, they are creating situations and circumstances for people to meet and mate (ha, sorry!) but I'm sorry, I just think it's way too orchestrated.
Things on this Little Red Dot are orchestrated such that everything here is a product of social engineering, including the creation of families, or rather a certain type of families (recall that 'Gene Pool' theory?). It's really odd to be told how to live one's life - when to start work, when to get married, when to have kids, etc etc. And yes, how ironic, people on the Little Red Dot are taught to be creative and to think out of the box. Can creativity be taught? Or is it taught and talked about because it is la mode to be so?
On one hand, I do appreciate the order that has resulted from this social engineering but that has made robots out the Little Red Dot and how ironic, that creativity ceases simply because things are engineered! Don't people ever question or look for ways to make life less 'engineered' or are people just contented? I know I am not. I certainly am not a sitting duck who will wait for things to happen - I want to make things happen.
Anyway, here's my little depiction of the Little Red Dot.
