Everyday Girl Struggles Summed Up In Illustration

Daily Female Struggles

We may not have to go through National Service like every Singaporean son (and we respect you men for that), but being a girl isn’t always convenient. Like when we lose our house keys in 8 different compartments of our handbag with misleading fake pockets or getting booby-trapped in our own bras.

Dieting is hard. But it’s even harder in Singapore.

 

Woes of A Female

We can’t take our shirts off when it’s hot and it’s a chore to keep removing underarm and leg hair till they’re bean curd-smooth. But if being a girl means being able to express our emotions freely and receive free drinks on ladies’ night, we don’t mind.
