I stare up at the stars
I wonder just where you are
You feel a million miles away

The next link to the food cycle... How about we say the poverty cycle? In this modern world, there is the classic scenario of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. You know I have never thought about this situation until this year when I was tasked with the exploration of poverty in my PW project.

The more fortunate ones like us are able to have food on the table for every meal and not needing worry where our next meal comes from. On the other hand the less fortunate ones have to fight for a living almost everyday and work countless of hours under the sun just to earn a few cents. Isn't a situation unfair and unjust?

Despite Singapore being a close to developed country, they are still people out there who are in this state. Just this morning, on the way to visit my orthodonthist in Orchard, I couldn't help but notice a larger than usual number of old men and disabled people selling tissue packets and entertaining respectively. The sight gave me a guilty feeling which in turn prompted me to post. Here I am, being one of the more fortunate people, living my life in absolute comfort and luxury and there are people out there who struggle to make a living. I doubt I would be able to bear the torment and shame if I were in their shoes...

Haha I think I might be getting a little sensitive around here... So I'm gonna sign off here...
