      Well, I think the comments against Amy were a bit overdone, but she was completely over the top. Witty and incisive, but in a completely wrong way. She is a scapegoat, yes, wrist slapped, time to close the matter, or this will drag on to the next century.
      Agreed with 3Boys here.

      anyway, all of us should not be too judgmental, it's not that she was attacking someone racially directly ( what I didnt like was her elitist comment about if you cant afford a proper wedding, dont get married -period ). I have been to several void deck weddings myself and enjoyed the carefree casual yet beautiful atmosphere ( heck, when I was a kid, my cousin also had his wedding at the void deck, due to budgetry reasons of course )

      in case anyone is in denial - see this clip below

            With the overcrowding, I can only see more of us becoming impatient, and moving away from compassion!!

                  Agree. Just that sometimes emotions not easy to control.

                        Powerful lessons I learnt from the above video :

                        (1) don't lose our moral compass

                        (2) quoting Richard's words:
                        \"When I face death, when I had to, I stripped myself of all stuff totally
                        and I focused on what is essential. The irony is that a lot of times, only
                        when we learn how to die, then we learn how to live.\"


                        :thankyou: Strparent for sharing ! šŸ˜„
