Sad Singapore?

My MSN list of nicks are often within the range of ok-mood to pessimistic-emo moods. Which sort of tells me my friends are under constant moodiness. I even saw a nick saying " I recommend suicide ".

Back to my german paper, but for a objective view on its passage. The cloze-text was saying that the average German has 80 hours of free time per week. Some people might have free-time stress cos they either don't know what to do since there's so many things and activities to take up OR they have too much activities engulfing them.

How much free time does an average Singaporean have?

I can't speak for the large population. But I'll just sample myself and do a bad extrapolation.

First of all I need to figure out what "free-time" means? Sleep included?

80 Stunden pro Woche
Germans have a shiok empty weekend so that's = 48 hours.
Assume they work 8 to 5 pm daily and sleep at 12 that's = 5 X 7 = 35 hours.
That's 83 hours. But I still can't comprehend why I need to take the weekend as 48 hours to get close to 80 hours.

Then let's assume they wake up at 10 am, sleep at 12pm. => 14 hours X 2 = 28 hours on weekend.

Then maybe they work 10 to 5 pm => 35 + 5(2) = 45 hrs.
45 + 28 = 73 hrs. Ok. not so bad.

Back to my life.

Monday : Lessons 12 - 6 pm. Free-time = 9 hours (wake up 10 am, sleep 1 am)
Tuesday: Lessons 10 - 8pm (pretty sad). Free-time = 6 hours
Wed : Lessons 1 - 4 pm (great!) Free time = 12 hours
Thurs : Lessons 9 - 8 pm (misery) Free time = 6.5 hours
Fri : Lessons 2 - 6 pm (alt. week no sch) Free time = 11 hours or 15 hours
Sat & Sun : 30 hours.

Grand total : 65.5 + 11 or 15 = 76.5 or 80.5 hrs

But whether I enjoy myself within these 80.5 hours or not is another question.
If on average I mug 4 hours on weekdays and 6 on weekends then => 80.5 becomes 48.5 hours.
but then again experiences tells me that only after major tests do we really feel that free leisure time exists.

We are weird, I think. After exams we'll probably whine about having nothing to do.

what are our expectations exactly?
