I am back to blog again. Anyway this post is very important. I am going to tackle the problem that has always lain dormant in my heart. For the first time ever in my whole life, I am going to said this out loud.
I LOVE SINGAPORE!!!
There I said it.
And it’s not because of the upcoming national day, the reason is because I have finally clear my thoughts on what’s really good and what’s just a fiction of what reality keeps dangling in front of me.
Friends that know me know that I always have a lifelong dream to leave Singapore because I think that Singapore sucks. Typically, I have always believed that the grass is always greener on the other side.
Yes, when you can’t grasp something you like, and you keep on looking over the fence, with people, media and all sorts of shit trying to convince you that life on the other side is good.
Sure, how many times you think that you can get saved by a pretty blonde when you are going to fall down the stairs, or after you fell down the stairs, you landed in the arms of a pretty, sexy brunette.
Ever notice that the women who walk on the streets in the movies are always hot sexy young things? Ever notice that everything on the street is perfect when you are watching the movie or TV? No dangling signs no overturn trash cans, no cat peeing on the streets. Hell, there’s isn’t even any cat prowling on the street.
Talk about picture perfect.
That’s why people always think that the grass is greener on the other side. Have they ever wondered for a moment that they shouldn’t be looking at how green the grass is on the other side, they should be looking for any vipers / snakes amongst the grass.
My topic for today is for people who think that escaping Singapore to foreign countries is better than staying at Singapore. Technically, it’s about immigration.
People who immigrate for just reason, I shall now comment. It’s understandable. Just reason meaning for jobs, for family, for starting wedding.
But I will from now on look down on people migrating just because they think that a western society is better, they are tired of staying in small tiny Singapore, they want to experience the four seasons, they feel that American or any other countries’ citizenship is better than Singapore.

Hi everybody, reality checks.
Singapore is the only country that does not get any natural disasters, the worst we ever had is the stupid fog because some countries like burning down their trees.
That’s one.
Singapore is one of the top 5 countries that you can walk alone at night anywhere and not get raped, kidnapped and robbed. Well, not 100%, but at least 90%. Ask any new Yorkers, who dare to walk inside New York Central Park at night, it’s an open invitation to get robbed.
That’s two.
Singapore is the only country that allows such a diversion of race. No other place, I believe, can offer such a variety of race living together in harmony. Where else can you find Indian, Malay, Chinese, western, Japanese, Korean, heck, sometimes even Greece, Italian, Germany food in one small coffee shop easily accessible just underneath where you stay. Where else can you find multiple races and country stalls all in just one part of a small neighbourhood? Where else can you find so many different kinds of religion, language and races staying together without riots? By looking at other countries, just having 2 different religions in their country is enough to start wars, large scale riots.
That’s three.
Singapore, as a country, is one of the few lowest tax rates in the world. I am lazy to search through all my files to furnish the proof. You can search this easily in the net.
That four.
3 strikes and you are out.
Due to my overwhelming generosity, I have given you 4 strikes.
I still have lots and lots of other reason, but if I list all of them down, it will be like a mini story book.
Always remember this, when looking over to the grass on the other side that is greener, check for snakes amongst the grass. If you think that you can handle the snakes there, by all mean go over. Don’t run back crying.
If you are looking over and saw that the grass is greener on the other side, stop and think for a while, is those people on the other side looking over and thinking that the grass is greener on your side?
You are dying to leave Singapore; people are dying to come Singapore.
To my future wife
If you love me, you must love Singapore too
