其次是对自我的照顾，表现最明显的就是吃，无论你身处何处都不能改变这一与生俱来的诉求，但是有趣的是，我们不仅仅是为了吃饱，更多的是要吃的舒心；

第三个就是在精神上放大自我，我们需要共鸣，需要从历史文化中寻求或多或少的关联。这可能也就是为什么我们要读书的真谛吧。那么爱情到底有没有被商品化，其实也就不重要了。

I was born in the year ‘94, a part of what wecall “Gen Y”. In Singapore, the term “Gen Y”, also known asMillennials, is used to describe individuals born between 1981 and1996. Now 27 years of age, I have long left the education system, andam firmly steeped in the working world. With a decent job, enoughmoney to pay the bills, and enough to worry about the frivolousthings of life (such as which colour of iPhone 13 I should purchase),I consider myself lucky. But as a product of the education system inSingapore, my mind consciously seeks out goals for myself.

Our Singapore education system is known for beingof the highest quality all around the world. While it certainly hasits merits, being in the education system has wrought about a mindsetof following the herd. Since we were in primary 1, we had been taughtto do all we could to score well in our PSLE, the most important examwe would take in our primary school education. If we did well, wecould take the “through-train” and bypass our GCE “O” levels,straight to the GCE “A” level examinations. After these majorexaminations, we would then go to university or polytechnic,depending on how well we score for our examinations and our careerambitions.

I remember the days of mugging for these papers.We would spend long hours in the school canteen, furiously poringover math formulas and history essays, all in a bid to do well enoughto score a flush of straight As. During university, we would find alife partner, and then upon graduation, start a respectable job inthe civil service or corporate world. After that, it would be time toconsider getting a BTO with your partner and starting a family. Rinseand repeat.

It seems that the government has laid out ablueprint for us millennials to follow. Granted, this cookie-cuttersystem has its purpose. Unlike China, Singapore is a country withscarce resources and our people are our greatest asset. Therefore, itis of utmost importance that we groom enough talent to fit into thevarious roles of the economy. However, this mindset has trickled downto even our personal lives, even to the most intimate things likemarriage and family.
