Generation "Why"?
I can’t understand our generation. I can’t understand why we all pretend we’re so ‘broken’. I can’t understand wanting to be unique so badly that you have to pretend there is something wrong with you. But most of all, I can’t understand this plethora of patheticness overcoming Generation Y. Are we really all so desperate for attention that we need to make...

And The Verdict Is...
We’ve all tried to push people into little cardboard boxes with big black labels on them before. It’s part of our nature as human being; if we don’t understand something, we try to shove it into another category that makes more sense to us rather than trying to comprehend it. Everyone has seen that girl with all the make up on, the tight little dress who is flirting with all...

Moves Like Jagger
Society’s double standards never fails to astound me. Especially when it comes to expectations of men and women. A while ago I wrote about how society seems to be scared of the idea of a strong, confident woman. This seems to even extend to sexual advances. Why is it okay for men to have several one night stands, but for a woman it’s considered morally wrong? Why is it that so many...

Moving On Up
There comes a time in every person’s life where a major transition takes place. A massive shift in momentum that makes your whole world shake, then stop for a few moments. Those few moments can seem like a lifetime. It’s pain, hurt, grief and despair all rolled into one little ball. It can be a little hard to take sometimes. However, we need to keep in mind that no matter how many...

Career Aspirations? That'll be [insert unafforable...
I never thought living out of home, attending university and handling my own expenses would be an easy task. I knew it would be hard, and at times I’d be surviving on nothing but Mi Goreng. I knew that if I went out on the town and wanted to drink, I’d either have to lower myself to the depths of drinking goon, or turn on my non-existant “charm” to try and wrangle as many...
I will be back from hiatus soon. I’ve been working 42 hour weeks lately, so I haven’t had a lot of time! Sorry guys!

No One Man Should Have So Much Power
How many of you have heard the claim that humans only use 10% of their brain power at any time? I’d say most of you. This is the rumour that the movie, Limitless, is based around. Protagonist, Eddie Morra, is in a dark rut in his life. Dumped by his girlfriend and a failed writer, things can’t seem to get much worse. This is until he’s introduced to the intelligence-enhancing...

Do You Have a Boyfriend Yet?
This was the question posed to me in casual smalltalk with my manager. It was a question meant with the best of intentions, however it started me thinking. My manager is still young at only 22 years old, yet there seemed to be an inbuilt impression that everyone should be in search of their soulmate. It’s like that for the vast majority of our generation. We all have this ingrained notion that we...

Slut, Whore, Hussy, Skank
I can never understand why people are so eager to confine others into little glass boxes, especially when it comes to women. I guess small-minded people find it easier to understand others if they can drop them into certain categories. One of the most common categories for women is the “Slut” box. I can basically guarantee that every girl over the age of thirteen has been called one...

What Goes Around Comes Around
In 2007, Justin Timberlake released the song “What Goes Around… Comes Around”. The music video featured Scarlett Johansson in an 10 minute clip. The story depicted JT and Scarlett as lovers, however it eventually comes out that Scarlett has been cheating on our main man and in the end, pays the price when her car flips through the air with her in it. Hence, what goes around...
