London n a 18 yr old Singaporean guy

Was supposed to talk abt y I am such a gan cheong spider, but I saw 2 articles in yesterday zb, 1 on the London blast by 吴庆康 and another abt an 18 yr old Singaporean guy who killed himself because his gf broke up w him.

Are these 2 incidents related? I feel so, related by this topic: maturity.

London, a city who knows what to do in a terrorist attack. A city that acts calmly n maturely. Why? Because London has been practicing for such an event since 9/11.

The guy who killed himself. Lost his direction and act in a foolish way. His action shows that he is highly immature and dont know what to do in an unprecedented situation.

The article by zb mentioned abt Singaporean young guys being immature. I think it applies generally across the board, guys n gals. They are so spoonfed that they feel lost if things dont happen according to what they expect.

They will retort that Singapore is a place where they cant gain experience from crisis. Rubbish. Nobody can ever gain enough experience from his own experience. Please, open your eyes n look ard u for experience. All u need is to spend a min or so to think abt what u will do if a particular situation happens to u instead; the situation can be from news, TV, shows or friends. It is just like taking immunization shots. Be mentally prepared and u will perform better when such a situation really occurs.

Dont tell me that u dont watch boring news or read dull newspaper (very typical of our Singaporean teens). Experience can be gained everywhere, u just need to open your eyes. u watch OC? I did (if I know C++ will be so siong, I will read my C++ TB instead, sianz). The whole series is abt relationships. If that guy who killed himself spend a min after the show asking himself why the relationship b/w the couple turns sour and what shld he do if he is ever caught in such a situation, he may be still alive today....

Singaporean teens, it is time to grow up. Look ard u for experience and pse mature quickly. The harsh world will not and is not waiting for u.
