This world is theoretically getting better as science and technology advance in lightning-speed style. Breakthrough in the seemingly eternal search for AIDS vaccine, filtering water with useful germs and producing methane gas simultaneously which can be tapped as energy resource, miraculous discoveries in stem-cell researches... the list goes on. Given all these commendable efforts of the contemporary world, does it necessarily equates to a better life? Please do not mind all the little grudges I'm going to make after this paragraph.
The lift at my block which was just recently renovated is malfunctioning spasmodically. The lift just get stuck at any particular floors and never descend. This is uber-inconvenience, especially after a long dreary day at school, the desire to go home and relax on the comfy sofa just went 'poof!'. Darn lift that is so trashy...
Another thing that is affecting me psychologically is the rampant advertisements that you see on moving buses and the television. I have to say some of the advertisements are quite stupid and irrelevant, especially the one promoting 'Ghee' with young innocent Campus Superstar Shawn Tok. I think it would be better if the person in the advertisement is a celebrity chef or whatsoever, rather than a little boy who is seemingly devoid of any appreciation for that can of fatty-goodness. The caption in that advertisement also made me puke... it made me imagine the cherubic boy wolfing down dollops of scrumptious Ghee... awww.... One more lame ad is the Glade Car-Perfume. Dumb women would just throw their car down the cliffs like used sanitary pads and enthusiastically flagging at the incoming car that emits an aura of the omnipotent perfume. Gosh... the frivolous nature of the ad made me feel that the perfume is so worthless.
Maybe you're thinking that I'm totally overreacting... whatever your afterthoughts, I still think that people living in this intellectual society should do justice to themselves by producing more reflective and relevant advertisements rather than employing eye-candies and bimbotic idiots to showcase their talents, while rendering the product in the background of the ad oblivious to people.
