~A little tribute to the little red dot~

i want to thank Singapore for:

* a high level of security so i can go out without needing a pistol in my baggie or training up to run from bombs
* extensive MRT and LRT lines for people like me who cannot afford a car nor drive, in the first place.
* the smooth highways and roads which makes everywhere easily accessible
* the great variety of yummy yummy local food
* the beautiful Esplanade which has become one of my favourite hangout
* the freedom to practise our preferred religions
* being a melting pot of races and cultures
* wiring up the place so that i can enjoy broadband
* planting sooo many big big trees to neutralize and soften the harsh concrete jungle
* compulsory education so that i can read, write and blog...something i think mostly taken for granted.
* for bringing in foreign teevee programmes..erm especially AI2 (teehee)!

and many many more.

i think i am so so lucky to be born here. no famine, no natural disasters...a nice little island away from all those earthquake and volanoes belts. i am not too bothered by the lack of freedom of speech...or healthy political competition. would rather lead a peaceful life under a relatively more decent and reasonable government...and not be embarassed by verbal-abusing and chair-throwing 'politicians'.

and so i am happy and comfortable here :)

Happy Birthday Singapore!
