Do you often purchase things that of good quality?

Have you ever consider about quality of the products you often buy daily?

How do you see quality?

Is considering quality part of what you do every day?

There are numerous amount of things that includes qualities. It can be getting a new calf leather handbag in good quality.It can also be purchasing the finest food product from the supermarket. Today, I narrowed down to four different topics. All these for topics are linked to what quality students are looking for today in this new society.

Personally speaking, I can never live without music. Music is an essential part of my life and I strongly believe that it is also important to most students. Speaking about music, there are tons of new and advance technology out there in the market that plays music.

This are called MP3 players. It comes in all kinds. Some are small and light, others have a touch screen functions, and some can even play video while listening to the music. Currently in this new era, phone companies even design music phones to satisfy people’s demand in music.Other than attracting their latest products by showing what the MP3 players or phones have, they also take in effort to come up with attractive and beautiful design! This indulgence caught many attentions of the youngsters. It comes in different brands and when it comes to choosing, this will be the difficult part.

Do students choose their new gadget by the brand names or the quality of the gadget? I came across some teenagers exclaiming: “Oh my god! Look at the new XXX MP3!" "The design is so sleek and attention-catching!" "I want to buy that when I got my money!” Well…it’s nothing new. In stark contrast, some are looking for REAL QUALITY to satisfy their need for music.

In my humble opinion, as a student, I will look out for the gadget’s functions, features and also would love to try out before I buy it. I’ll make sure that the QUALITY is worth monetary value. If the gadget cannot meet my expectations on the quality that I am looking for, and instead, music is played in bad quality, who would even consider buying it?

Currently, many people are going “gaga” over some brands like Apple ipod, iphone, or Samsung’s latest mp3 players in many funky colours, and how about creative mp3 players. Are these brands able to provide good quality music and functions since a huge amount of people are going insane over them?

I don’t know the answer.

Other than music, there are also other things that youngster are looking for. In today’s society, FOOD and DRINKS are part of our life. But getting the finest quality on food and drinks are still debatable.

We all know that getting good food comes with expensive price to pay. As a student, I will not spend too much money on food. However, my classmate, Aaron, spent $250 on food. It was then I found out he ate in a restaurant. A good restaurant. Well, not everybody could afford to dine-in in an expensive restaurant like Aaron.

Nowadays, people are getting more conscious on their everyday diet. All sort of organic food and promotion of healthy lifestyle are getting into the head of most of the people in Singapore. However, this is over one side of the picture. I wonder if you see another side of the picture, which I personally think that it is quite a serious issue – Fastfood.

Considering the quality of Fastfood, the only good thing I can think about is the deliciousness of the crispy and spicy chicken from Kentucky Chicken and the also the short amount of time I need to wait for my food. That’s why it is call Fastfood. From this angle, we can see can quality is not as important anymore. This is because what is stack on top of quality, is time. There is a common phrase” A hungry man is like a angry bear.” Indeed, I think Norman is one of them. Coming back, Fastfood might not be able to provide good quality food. To most of the people, we know that fastfood are junk food. We are also being reminded not to eat too much before we turn fat. Not just applying in Singapore, over at England, there are also problems in kid’s diet. I remembered watching a show called “ Jamie’s school dinner.”. Jamie Oliver is a famous chef who uses good quality food. He make use of this good quality food and come up with creative and delicious food receipts.

This is another angle that we are looking at whereby good quality food is being appreciate and used in a useful way. But, there is one point I need to make. Not everyone appreciate good quality food. In case you are curious about this group that do not adore good food, they are CHILDREN. It was shown in the show that they hated Jamie oliver changing the school’s menu. What they want are fries and burgers. If we step back and take a look at the full picture, not everyone has a good view in good quality food. Different kinds of perceptions are being put into the issue and different opinions cause many debates. What is it that has cause this when somebody is just out there trying to help?

Since we come to a topic on school’s menu, I was wondering if students are looking for good quality food in school too? As a student in RP, I reckon that I did. I wouldn’t like to buy my meal which taste bad. I believe other students too.
I suddenly thought of a country where food is very much appreciated.

ITALY.
They love food. They buy the freshest vegetables and best meat to provide the family with delicious and mouth watering meals at home. They can spend more than 2hours having ONE meal. They care about family cohesion and home-cooked food is very popular over there. I was pondering, do many of our Singaporean youths get to eat home-cooked food or, getting to eat home-cooked food everyday?

Other than food and music, what is the next thing that contribute a lot to a teenager’s life?
FASHION!
When it comes to fashion, we think about girls going shopping. Let’s go into a clearer picture.
Let’s talk about girls.
Girls can spend A LOT in fashion. Getting in trend is one thing, but getting something in high quality is another issue. What are girls today really want? I can name you Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, MIU MIU and so many more! Now, the brands that I have mentioned earlier are brands that are able to provide HIGH QUALITY products. Regardless is leather handbags, wallets, sunglasses, clothings and even watches. As I hear from some of them, they claimed that these brands’ products are able to last for a very long time. There are different from other not-so-famous brands out there that you are able to afford.
Talking about afford, I don’t think any students are able to afford the very expensive and high-end products. Maybe a handful? I don’t know. Some websites are also selling good quality products on the net. Some can be second hand, some are new but at a cheaper price. Fashion fashion fashion, what can I say?
