Singapore's 45th.

a small piece of land one degree north of the equator, one flowing with milk and honey.

Singapore has been 'awesome' so far, i'm only 19 so there's still lots for me to learn about this tiny red dot being placed on the map, and i call it home.

the thought going overseas to study and stay there for good has always been lodged somewhere in my mind. sometimes this idea gets revived and i'll start thinking of how nice it would be if all were to come true, there's a heck load of choices out there. when i leave, i'll be leaving behind those that'll miss me, my loved ones and all. i guess i'll be missing my enemies as well. there's so much within this small land mass that i couldn't bear to leave behind for too long. no matter how much you say you hate Singapore, you don't love the country, i'm sure there's this part of you that'll be telling you that you still have some feelings for the nation and there are good memories too.

i'm very thankful that i've been given enough opportunities in life, and the very fact that i'm in Singapore. i'm afraid to walk on the streets in a city just 5hours by coach up north, the hectic lifestyle about 7 hours by flight to a city in east asia, or maybe the too laid-back environment on the other side of the globe. as the saying goes, 'the grass is always greener on the other side', what's outside always seem more appealing than what we have here. i do complain about the weather when it gets too hot, or when it rains too much, about the people, about the crowd, about foreigners looking for gold flooding into the country, and sometimes about everything and anything you can think of. to think of it, that's what i'll call uniquely singapore. no where else on this round thing in the milky way you can find a place like SIN-GA-PORE.

well, i might end up furthering my studies overseas, working overseas in the future or settling down overseas when i retire, but there's one place i will still call home. it's Singapore. the memories i have of the people will always stay with me, and that includes you (whoever you are that is reading this right now), the places and the Singapore experience (i don't care how you're gonna define this) i have. cliché as it may sound, i love Singapore.

happy 45th!

on a random note, i think that Kiss is awesome. the rock and roll tone of the 80s, not too noisy but definitely catchy.
