in the spirit of national day, i've decided to list the things i like about singapore. (of course, there's a lot to say of the opposite, but just humour me, alright?)
1) i like the fact that i can go across the street to get food at 3am and will most likely make it home alright.
2) i like the clean streets.
3) i'm grateful that i don't have to wait longer than an average of 10 mins for public transport. 4, for the train.
4) also, that i will most likely not get caught in a traffic jam for over 2hours.
5) i like that we are a multi racial community. because that means 3times the number of public holidays.
6) i'm glad that our worst weather is only a rainstorm.
7) i like that even tho' my children will be stressed beyond words, they'd be one of most hardworking and best educated bunch in the world. (ok, this is debatable, but clearly, i'm running out of points, here)
8) i'm glad we can't buy firearms over the counter. because there will always be idiots in the world.
9) our food is good. yes it is.
10) i like our geographical proximity to m'sia, bangkok and hong kong. at least there's somewhere to skip over to when you've bought everything there is to buy in singapore.
11) i like how 99% of our streets are lit
12) and that it takes a maximum of 1.5hours to go from one end of singapore to the other on public transport.
13) i like our airport. i think it rocks. you can be 3 hours early for a flight and won't be bored.
14) i think CPF is a good idea. for me and my other shopaholic friends who might have a little difficulty saving. ahem.
15) there are some spots in singapore that are quite beautiful. really!
okay, i'm out. actually, i'm pretty surprised that i could come up with 15. anyone else have anything to add on? remember we're only doing good things about singapore on this post. you can say what's wrong with singapore on later posts. maybe.
