[BeContented]

Imami:

I agree with Hokkiengirl and becontented. When I saw the thread, I urm... Have nothing to say. I have my gripes but I always feel happy that I live in sg.


Maybe I am naive. Maybe I am too blessed. Maybe I am just too thick but I don't really know how am I affected by elitism? As for my child, I only hope he be above average in terms of academic achievement. I don't want and don't need him to be among the elites. I have always been a mediocre but I think being at the top is lonely. Because of this belief, I hope my child is among the mass and be accepted as part of the mass (I.e. I don't want my child to be an outcast, either side of the spectrum).

Maybe I can take inspiration from becontented's I'd and renamed myself as \"amcontented\"

Imami,
heehee....I also have the same words to say about myself...naive, blessed & probably thick. Also pretty mediocre but hey.....quite happy leh. Before being SAHM, I earn an honest living.
actually I had considered the ID amcontented too....but seeing soooooo many unhappiness around, decided to use.....BeContented instead

Hahaha I see! I always thought u r telling yourself to "beContented"!


I cant say I am happy with everything. But certainly I make do with the situation. I try to Improve things or stretch myself to cope. I don’t know - what else can I ask for, given that I am so average but I have
- a happy, healthy and lovely child who thinks I am omnipotent and loves me unconditionally
- a hubby who is doing well in his job and provides financial stability so that I can hold a less stressful job (but with lesser pay) and do more for the family and be an active part of my child’s growing up (it’s a privilege to be a child’s growing up in my opinion. Not everyone has this opportunity, not everyone values this opportunity).

I think this 'Swiss standard of living' actually means 'Swiss high cost of living'

Don’t mean to be rude, but so what if you hate Singapore? You still have to stay here right…


Anyway, don’t compare ourselves to other countries. In other countries you can get mobbed (robbed) in daylight because you are the miniority race. Even our public primary schools no matter how "lousy" is good. Your child don’t really mix with other children whose parents are drug addicts and stuff like that.

No matter how sandwiched we are, we are still safe even staying in public housing - HBD…

In short, I stand with those on the be contended lines. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

You are probably very very right

If live in other countries, perhaps got even more things to 'hate'
