Miss Dependent or Independent?
I couldn't agree more with Yan's post on young Singaporeans being dependent. Definitely, I am being one of them, having the best sponsors for my studies- Mr. & Mrs. Ho. After being here and meeting all sorts of people, I do realized that Melburnians are much more independent as to leaving the family and staying in a rented place. Some get part-time jobs to support themselves while others have government subsidy. That's people welfare we're talking about. You can get 100% claim if you buy a laptop here. Oh, I see the surprised look on your face but that's how it works. My friend is now the proud owner of a free laptop. As for my other mate, he gets weekly 'pocket money' from the government. Not much, around 200 bucks each time if I'm not wrong. Wonderful isn't it? Hi there my fellow friends, will we get such a benefit when we're young and healthy? Uh, stop day dreaming and come back to the reality.
Noticed the major digression? I just did. Sorry there cos there are so much going through my mind right now.
Quick update
- Volunteered for Beauty and the Geek Melbourne's audition last Saturday. Enjoyed myself much despite the early call time. The girls are just 'great'. Fake tans, fake boobs, fake noses....
- Helping out for RMITV Studio A for Channel 31 as studio lighting director. Impressive title. Nearly had a breakdown yesterday during rehearsal. First time looking at the set and with my little knowledge on studio lighting, I just gave it a go. CCU (camera control unit, for white balancing and colour correcting) took me ages. I was the only one doing lighting. Oh god, my did I land myself in this shit hole. Hope that everything will go well next week. Did I mentioned that it's going to be a live telecast? Awesome.
