In Singapore, we love having proper procedures for everything. When we finally have proper procedures, we sift the whole system through a fine filter to see how we can make it even better.
Sure, it's all good to have everything planned and have everything go without a glitch. But what if things DON'T go according to plan. Is that so bad? Or to all Singaporeans, is that plain evil?
I didn't grow up in a structured environment. My siblings and I learned to flow with things. I believe it builds a certain kind of strength - the ability to endure nonsense and move on to the next thing without being hung up.
Perhaps it is not that EVIL to have chaos. And perhaps chaos to a certain extent is fun. Can those of us in Singapore believe that?
Well, one day, I planned to take a photograph of my girls. And in my plan, their faces would emerge in the photograph, as is the case in most photographs. Lo and behold, there was some chaos. *shiver in disgust*. And the photograph didn't show their faces! But I love this photograph and I think it's fun. So there!
