Beyond the horizon
I'm getting more and more mad at myself cos I feel that I'm at a point where I cant understand myself anymore. Nothing seems to interest me really and I'm so tired of everything. I'm numbed! Funny isn't it? When at times you experience something good and you feel as if you are on top of the world. But at certain times, when something, perhaps a minute thing hit you hard right at your face, you start to grumble and complain, hoping to get that ass out of you. (Just wanting to vent my anger here, pardon me).

I cant believe how can one not give a damm to someone who comes all the way from Myanmar to work and yet not pay attention to their personal welfare. Not blaming the general public, but in particular, the Organisation these Myanmar girls are attached to. The employers always put a false front to people around, wanting people to perceive them as someone of great accomplishments, but these are all nothing but craps. They are a whole load of inhumane creatures. I feel that the treatment they give to foreigners who come here to work is really disgusting. These Myanmar girls knew before the start that coming to Singapore to work wont be an easy thing to do. However, they took up the offer simply because they need to send back their hard-earned money back to their hometown. They got to do lots of additional work that was not written in the contract at all, they were underpaid but the employer totally disregarded their countless efforts. The agreement of having 10 days annual leave was striked off in the end simply because they are here to work and not to play. This remark makes me even more pissed with the company and the way they handle things. Was talking to my friend yesterday, and she's in this situation now. Through this conversation I had with her, I felt that Singaporeans are not that cultured anymore as compared to before. See how they treat foreigners and you will know. I guessed people tend to treat you according to your background. Like the way you speak, dress and look.
