Celebrating Working Women

(via doobybrain)

I thought this was going to be one of the typical women empowerment videos for the International Women’s Day (8 March), boy was I wrong. I never realised that women from the past would have such an impact on my everyday life. Can you imagine not having the water heater, or worse, windscreen wipers?

A slight side track about working women..
Just yesterday, I was talking to my bestie (she’s my age, working at a MNC and pregnant) about how tough it is to have a family in Singapore. There are so many costs involved. Paying off University loans, getting married, buying a new home and subsequently paying for the housing loan for many years, having a child which also includes pregnancy, growing up and education costs.

It seems impossible to not have a full-time salaried job, yet I don’t want my future kids to grow up without their parents. I have no idea how my parents did it..
