Ambition is the last refuge for failure - Oscar Wilde?

Interesting stuff I heard.
'eh can't talk now in a meeting' 'only project group meeting what...act cool make it sound like corporate boardroom liddat.'
'ya you should go into litigation because all the corporate jobs are going to us anyway.'

how naive. Epitome of the pathetic Singapore rat race. an instituition that inflates its student's self worth way beyond reality, when clearly they are not even the creme de la creme of a small island nation. nus law friends guess which institution i'm talking about. hint: they make many commercials and are opening a law school.

words of a potential student.
'really bo tua bo sui, whole day act cool think they're ELITE dunno where they really stand. after going to raffles I don't know how they let -blank- delude them into believing that they are the best. I mean back in JC everyone's aiming for scholarships. US/UK universities, law or medicine. now go to sch. with those from rojak JCs how to be the best. i'm not being elitist just realistic. if -blank- is so great then Stanford and Harvard how? eh graduating from -blank- also doesn't increase the chances to get into their MBA programmes as compared to US schools. ah fuck la maybe after first year try to transfer.'

my friend. Mr. CPF ben would say 'jews are very influential. like myself i'm half of ben and jerry's, jerry - geri of the spice girls is my wife. but ok back to the topic would a jew enroll there? no. so how can it be the best.'

enough said? nope. there's also: COE. GST Hike to 7 percent. even Canada's is 6 percent and GST exempt on essentials and medical care. CPF fraud. GIC losing our money. Foreign talent for example the 2nd lower law graduates from overseas. to name a few worthy issues. sigh

words of wisdom spoken to me.
'our generation believed in the nation that's why we came back but we no longer do that's why we're migrating. i mean now the government prefers foreigners and we're being treated as 2nd class. plus the foreign talent we get are those who can't make it in their own countries. i mean top British talent may voluntarily ditch London for New York, but never for Singapore. after you graduate no point coming back here next time have to work under somebody just because they're sent from HQ. might as well work overseas then come back as foreign talent later.'

new york city has a income tax of 48.52 percent, california 44.2 percent . not sure if its progressive. steeper than our 22 percent but still worth looking. might not be paradise city but the grass does seem slightly greener and the girls prettier? definitely
