What the Modern Woman Wants .. an eye-opener from an RGS student

Guys come on! Considering her relative youth, she ought to be commended for her mature style of writing. Imho, she has written a good and compelling story. She is simply saying this- all the things that a modern woman (read Sinkapore woman) wants i.e. the trappings of wealth, power, prestige, luxurious lifestyle etc is misplaced and ephemeral. It may bring them short-term happiness but not true happiness. It blinds them to what is true happiness which is before their very eyes but too blind to even notice and this true happiness need not cost a bomb! It's called loyalty, undivided love and affection, filial piety.:wink: Nice story!

She seemed to write a bit better than our local heartland auntie Catherine Lim. That spastic Oxford Dictionary prose wannabe local HDB writer.

Finally someone who appreciates good literary work

Not like the bunch of losers who fault a 15-year-old genius
and another bunch who cannot read beyond two sentences

Our future is gone in this group of youngsters, better import 1.5 million PRCs to dilute this poor stock

Ouir government is really too slow. Now is the best time to import PRC graduates given the recession. Import this high quality PRC or Singapore is doomed!

for a secondary school girl it's pretty good. She is able to observe human behaviour around her and make a value judgement,although it remains to be seen if she becomes the materialistic daughter she villifies in future. She's able to do basic juxtaposition, between the mother's old gods and the daughter's gods of modern trappings. Important skills for a writer as well. Her themes remind me of Catherine Lim.

The only work needed is improvement of prose - it reads like a disconnected chain of cheem words describing stuff passionlessly. But she's still very young so it's understandable. You need 10-20 years to develop a 'voice'.

Did they ask for sex before the night is over? :biggrin:

Thank God they didn't. Though one of them was about close but I clearly foresaw that and stopped her abruptly before leaving.

When I talked to them I felt almost invariably like I was in a scene of Brokeback Mountain, that's how bad it is.

Lame. And I'm still way better than you, you spastic bastard fuck. Look at your fuck face in the mirror as well. Should I urinate on it for you?

You have to thank your bastard mother for giving birth to a donkey bladder face like you. You can kneel and beg like a dog and an old woman like Catherim still won't let you fuck her, which shows what a failure and a worthless piece of shit you are.

Understand you ugly dickwad?

Looks like I guessed correctly. The similarity in style is telling. Writing doesn't flow too well, but maybe the story is directed at literature students in schools, not the professional market.
