S'poreans less happy, less satisfied with quality of life: NUS survey

There was a "significant decline" in Singaporeans' sense of happiness from 2016 to 2022.

The world is vastly unequal, extreme wealth coexists with extreme poverty. The poorest 50% of the global population share just 8% of total income. At the same time, the richest 10% of the global population earn over 50% of total income.

Just means if we're unhappy, the rest are really screwed..... A poor comparison. It's like asking what is the worst sh!t to be up to your neck in, soft or hard?

I only eat rice using chopstick when the rice is served in a bowl.

Kind of weird if the rice is on a plate and use chopstick for that.

Same. Cos we bring the bowl to our mouth.

Use plate and chopstick , mean u need to literally use chopstick grab the rice bit by bit to eat.

As opposite. If rice is served in a bowl. U give me spoon, I will feel very awkward to eat.

Budget meal don't know if the portion given is small or not. Hawkers charge you cheap but also give you small portion, so in the end if eat liao don't feel full and add on something else to eat, also not much difference in any saving.
