Of Singapore & Friends

hello public

i hope its not too late to wish my beloved sunny island a...

Happy 41st Birthday!!!!!

i'd use this opportunity and time to blog about what i love about Singapore.

i love how safe and secure Singapore is. it's great knowing that you wont get mugged or robbed when walking in a quiet road or get raped while walking alone in the middle of the night. singapore is one of the country in the world with the lowest crime rates. but then, according to all those posters you find at your void deck noticebboards, low crime doesnt mean no crime. so technically you'd have to be sibeh suay to meet with such an unfortunate situation.

i love the myriad variety of food available in singapore. from the readily and easily available local fanfare to exotic foreign delicasies. there's never a need to travel to japan for sushi, thailand for tom yam or france for escargo. singapore would be the last place on earth to die of starvation.

i love singlish. if the french and the japanese are so anal about using their language, why must we be embarassed by a language that represents harmony. to me singlish represents unity and harmony. its a common language understood by locals which contains a mixture of every race's dialect and mother tongue. singaporeans of diffrent race, language and religion can all unite harmoniously in one language they can understand. one people, one nation, one singapore, one language, singlish.

i love how singapore is a garden city. its really great how fast we are advancing and sometimes leaders in technology. ours is a vibrant city that keeps up with times. but when u think of a city and technology, all that comes to mind would be metallic architechture and dull grey buildings. but singapore has managed to infused flora and fauna into this tiny IT island. not only is it pleasing to the eyes but these plants also help to make our air fresher.

i love education system in singapore. i know a lot may complain about how the education system here is extremely rigid and deters creativity. but thats a price we have to pay for ordeliness and structure. also, nowadays the government is trying to make the education system more practical based rather than theory which i feel is really good. to me i feel that our education system is almost reaching world class.

talking about world class. another thing i love about singapore is that we have a world class government. of course our government is rigid and strict. of course there might be little freedom of speech and actions. the singapore system is a highly systematic one. but then this is what is necessary for singapore to continuously improve economically and socially.

and last but not least. i love how singapore is a home to me, my family and my friends. singapore is like rojak. every different person is like those different type of stuff in the rojak, the cucumber, the you char kway. and we are all bounded together by the black sauce which to me represents stuff unique to singapore like singlish or the food and so on. once all those char kways and stuff are covered by black sauce, everything looks the same. everyone is rojak, nobody is jus char kway alone or cucumber alone. everyone is one.

talking about freinds. i met up with some of the bestest friends anyone can have in the wor .and of course we had a great time. undoubtedly. i shall end it here with pictures i took that day. i have to make a move now. need to prepare to book in camp soon.













thats it for now, take care.

toodles!
