introduction
hello, wherever you are
SINGAPORE - LONDON
Mostly, I am Violet.
Sometimes, I float around aimlessly and pretend to be weird.
Then I realise that's still being Violet, and human.
So Hi there, I'm Violet, a Human. Nice to meet you *friendly handshake*

Honestly, development has got to be the most depressing chapter anyone can study because you learn about how people are stuck in vicious poverty cycles and are still mainly involved in the primary sectors and just can't get out. and it ain't cause they don't want to, or they don't try. but cause they are just so poor to even fill their stomachs how are they supposed to consider other things we take for granted like education and healthcare?Countries like Ethiopia has GDP per capita of US$160 per year and im going for angela(!!!)'s concert which costs that same amount only in Sing dollars. And we overeat they dont even have food to eat. i like learning about development as a topic in geog, BUT I DONT LIKE THE TESTS. development is so complex and they say so themselves,
Development is a complex concept that is difficult to define as:
- there are many different ideas of what development means - economic prosperity, social progress, spatial development and environmental impact.
- development is a continual, progressive process.
and it goes onnn.
well there's geog SA tomr. and im being really time-wasting D: i cant concentrate what with the infant mortality rates of 3 per 1000 in norway and 110 per 1000 in ethiopia. it's disturbing? just like how the life expectancy in norway is 80, but 50 in ethiopia, meaning my daddy who is 52 is like..a miracle there. it's amazing these statistics.
especially when we take our FAMILY DOCTORS for granted (my dad just came back with a whole bag of medicine from the doctor's), ethiopia only has 3 physicians per 100,000 people.
I AM APPALLED. (and hopefully ready for the test tomr!)
29TH MARCH I AM WAITING FOR YOU :D :D :D
