happy birthday to you!

happy 41st birthday, singapore! :)

yes, i am amongst those who loves this country. true, i may sit and complain every now and then about stuff like the weather, the funny rules (like no swings in playgrounds now because they're 'dangerous', etc), the..the. well my complaining is pretty spontaneous.

but i still love this country which i call my home.

now i'm not going to impose my views on you or anything, but quite frankly, i'm sure you can think for yourself why it's such a great place to stay in. it may not have cheap shopping like in thailand or china, may be a lot smaller than places like the usa, may not allow gambling like malaysia, may not have the beautiful locations like switzerland, and may be a lot less than other countries. but it still still home not only because i spent most of my life after childhood here, but also because of the different kinds of food here, the racial harmony that isn't perfected but is much more reliable than in other countries, the clean, safe roads i know i can venture into without much fear, but definitely precaution. i call this home because this is where my friends and family are, and because i know that even when the going gets tough, the government will be there for me, even if they don't owe me a living. so what if we aren't liberal like the usa, or a welfare state like england used to be?

ok so a lot of the ndp songs aren't familiar to me anymore, because they;ve changed tons since my school days. but i still enjoy watching them, over and over again, and i swear i get goosebumps sometimes.


well. five words:
1. patriotic:)
2. democratic:)
3. dictate
4. sinusoidal
5. confession


well, enjoy your holidays! :)
