HAPPY *coughbelatedcough* BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!!
Happy 41st Birthday Singapore!!
*one day belated that is*
I did not manage to catch the online webcast of the parade yesterday as we are out at Augustine's place fixing his internet thingy.
I'll try to watch it on the 'video on demand' tonight.
Jason always ask me,
"Do you prefer Singapore or Australia?"
Haiz...
I like Australia's high paying jobs, cheap cars and houses, laidback lifestyle, weather and scenery.
Singapore is way too competitive.
Cars and houses are so bloody expensive,
pathetic pay,
(to earn $6-$7 per hour for a part-time job in Singapore is considered good,
but earning $6-$7 in Australia is unheard of.)
the weather is hot and humid all throughout the year,
i can only see buildings, buildings and buildings everywhere
and everyone works too hard everyday.
(in Aussieland, if you're still at work by 5pm, your boss will ask why are you still working.
In Singapore, if you go home at 5pm, your boss will ask why you're going home.)
*Sighz*
But...
Singapore, the dot on the map,
is still my country,
my homeland.
There's still tons of things i like there.
The 24hrs coffeeshops, midnight movies, late shopping hours, ease of transport, the yummy yummy food, not being treated like a deviant etc.
Oh,
not forgetting that all my family and friends are there.
Tinky too...
*giggles*
