So... I heard Singapore's pretty much in a Frantic Election Frenzy neh...:)
PAP Party VS The Oppositions! :)
Ok... This month has been a lil bit of busy month for me, thus I wasn't reallie on top of my beloved country's current affairs. (-.-")
hehe...
seriously, call me dumb ...
or maybe...
you can call me...
BIMBO! (^.-)
(beautiful,Intelligent,Mesmirizing,Breathtaking,simply Owesome!!!) ;)
But seriously, I dun really give a damn bout the ongoing Elections. boo~
Okie... This is my first year voting.
I guess, I should be reallie excited or at least concerned bout it...
since it totally concerns the future of Singapore. :)
But...the fact is I jus can't be bothered.
It is mainly due to fact that most likely, I'll not be in Singapore during the voting day.
And most importantly...
I dun understand..
wat's the point of voting...
If the world is going to end soon!!!
hahaha... =P
Alright, I'm so negative. I know...
hahaha.
(and I can still laugh bout it.. )
well... on a more serious note.
Voting is compulsory for all Singaporeans aged 21 and above.
so... even if I am not voting physically, I shall speak abit more of my prefered choice here.
so, for many years, the PAP workers party has been doing damn well of a good job building and leading Singapore...
Bringing Singapore to where we are today.
Having travelled far and wide across the world...
I really really do appreciate wat the government has done thru out a short 45 years since our independence day with PAP thru out. We have come sooo far.
Imagine jus how hard it is to run a household.Your business/company.
I can only imagine how tough and how determine and how wise...
The PAP party, Our very own Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew have been.
oh, How far have we truly come.
Having been flying all around,
I've always looked forward to coming back home to Singapore.
Even if I may complain that it is boring at times.
But sometimes, Boring yet safe is jus perfect.
OKIE..
I admit!
I may whine and complain alot bout Singapore!
cuz I am a true-blue Singaporean afterall!!! haha...
But deep inside me...
I LOVE MY COUNTRY (so cheesy ahhhh...) :P
for the most practical reasons!
And most importantly...
It feels like home.
And I have to say ...
All that I feel is PAP unrentless efforts for 45 years...
Do you know....?
Transportation :
The MRT train system in Singapore is so convenient for all.
It is fast, clean and efficient.
And most importantly, it is "idiot" proof.
Which means, even tourist travelling here for the first few time would learn it quickly.
Nearly everywhere is dotted with Bus-stops...
which means Bus-taking is jus as efficient and convenient..
(Apart from the traffic jam ;))
Now to CAB. My favourite mode of transport.
Lots of them everywhere...
(Comfort,efficiency ... needless to say. ;P )
And to be honest, amidst all the inflation...
I still find it pretty affordable.
I mean...I see students cabbing to school all the time!
An increasing problem in Singapore, I personally feel would be the MASSIVE TRAFFIC JAMS during peak hours.
But you know... how long can a jam get in Singapore right??? :P
Traffic Jam can get so much worst in the States.
Or even countries like Indonesia or Bangkok.
so like...
(Singaporeans love to complain.)
But come on la...
Singapore is so small!
How long can a traffic jam get...?
It's a common problem thruout the world wat.
Ppl gets more educated.
They learn driving. Naturally... They would wanna own a car.
In a increasingly affluent country like Singapore...
More ppl get car. More JAM la.
The gorvernment did implement measures to reduce the jam wat...
(And of course with the ERP and wat nots... we complain again la...)
But wat to do. would you volunteer to give up ur car and conver to public transport?
To improve the traffic conditions on the road willingly... ? NO wattttt!
so...
PPL GOTTA DO WAT THEY GOTTA DO! :p
Housing:
The housing system in Singapore is so perfect!
Most of the local owns their own house.
Be it HDB or private housing...
Do you know how important that is to a family.
To your own physcological aspect.
You know , everyday after a hard day's work... You know you have your own home to return to.
Its the idea of always having a roof over our head.
As long as you are willing to work hard, You'll be able to survive in Singapore.
(At the moment.I guess.)
Did you know, In alot of other country....
To be able to afford your own roof is reallie expensive.
Most ppl rent a place to stay.
They gotta struggle to pay rent every month.
And as we all know...
Rental can take up almost all your salary every year. And you don't even own the place at the end of the day. boo. :(
And most the thing I love most about Singapore housing.
Would be that it is so so so CLEAN!!!!
Everyday, The engaged cleaner will dutifully clean up our estate.
And they are getting so efficient and good at their job.
In the morning, you see doodles on the lift wall... in the evening ... it's cleaned up.
Did you know how bad some housing is across the world.
In india... I see ppl living slums.
They dun even have a proper roof over their head.
Even little things like Sanitise Tap water here...
is so absolutely wonderful.
When I travel, Other then Australia.
I always gotta buy Mineral Water... cuz it's simply not safe to drink from tap.
I'm not even sure if boiling it is gonna be ok for consumption.
In the states...
I see ppl loading up their car boot with mineral Water from the store ...:)
I remember a couple of times, when I was in Los Angeles...
The tap water was soapy and yellowish for a few days.
yucks! How awful is that. (-_-")
ACCESSIBILITY:
"Singapore's so small... =(" *whines*
but...
because Singapore's so small....
It is so accessible everywhere.
Think bout it.
You can go from one end of singapore to the end...
In less than one hour on a good traffic day!
I LOVE!!!
Cuz I stay so far from the airport and generally, on a good traffic day... I can even cab to the airport in a record 20min time!!!
And mind you...I stay on the other end! *triumphant smile* (^.^)
Next...
Apart from our mega malls in Orchard Road....
did you not know how awesomely amazing our heartland malls are??? :)
Most Heartland mall here are packed with all major brands and a wide variety of clean hygienic food! omg!
I can't even start.
even H&M is coming to Singapore.
I dun even needa to wait for my States flight to get my monthly style fix. :P
My new FAV is NEX@Serangoon!!!
woohoooo!!!!
Gotta LURVE the doggie cafe! :)
Though the security gaurd's a lil uptight bout my doggie... ahaha... :P
I dun even wanna talk bout the 24hours convenience stall...
or most importantly the 24hrs eateries(think late night supper!!! wat a guilty pleasure!) dotting the nation.
Did you know whenever I am in Perth..
(due to the location I stay in...)
I would always make sure I get my food before 5pm....
If not... most of the decent food joints will be closed.
And I gotta settle for cold packed food or junk food... or room service. hehe...
so yup... let's not even get started talking bout the nightlife! :)
It's decent enough.
And think bout all the club-hopping!!!! :P
If u r a tourist...
You can club-hop and if u r good.
U get to enjoy all of da Locals hottest club in a night!!! woohoo!!!! ;)
So yup...
Singapore's so comfortably convenient!!!!
I LOVE..... =P
so... we are young ppl right?
let's talk alittle more bout FUN STUFF!!!*YAY*
SO...
Let's be honest.
Singapore's so small...
There isn't exactly much fun in Singapore ya?
But we have actually have quite alot of attractions in Singapore.
Like the latest Universal Studios I have yet to go... :)
And besides.. other then clubbing chilling shopping ktv-ing...
erm.. I can't think of anything better than that.
ahaha...
I have been to Los Angeles... so many times.
even staying right next to the Disneyland before..
But I've never been there!
So like... wat's the big deal bout tourist attraction?
I think if I have the time other than working...
I still prefer to take a holiday to some exotic destination! haha...
Well...
afterall, Singapore's a safe home!
Safety
Well, I guess among all the other factors...
Our government has managed to keep our country very safe!!!
which I love it the most!!!
I can't tell you how very safe I feel in Singapore!
How I feel safe enough to wear shorts or short skirt here...
or How safe I feel to go home alone in the middle of the night at 2am.
(which is not too often...haha)
I'm pretty safety conscious! haha...
Did you know..
I rarely wear shorts or short skirt overseas.
Unless I am with ppl who will accompany me back to my hotel safely.
I'm usually quite covered up due to safety reason.. haha...
I dun believe in inviting trouble.
Did you know in some traditional country,
girls who exposed their legs or arms are such a big deal to the guys.
ok... I can imagine.... esp... when the women in ur country are covered from head to toe.
or probly...
some Westerners jus love asian girls!
Ok I am not gonna bite my words.
The world is so filled with perverts and sickos! HATE THEM!(-.-)
And I appreciate the culture in Singapore that shorts or tubes are so common! :)
cuz It is way more comfortable as our weather gets more humid and hotter!
And you won't even believe the trouble I almost got into overseas...
Almost robbed in Bangkok.
Almost pickpocketed in Milan H&M by a seemingly innocent kind old lady.
Followed by in Milan ... gotta seek refuge in a hearby hotel.
Approach in States to go to some unknown garage.
Grabbed and almost pulled away in HongKong. Thanks to my colleagus who saved me.
Followed again this time almost all the way to my hotel room in San Francisco.Thanks to a quick witted senior colleague... I am safe.
Lotsa of crazy ppl in States tapping at me and stuff...
And wat bout the occasional times, I almost got rundown by speeding irresponsible drivers...
In fact, I just came from Brisbane... And an accident happened right in front of my eyes.
The driver at fault : a Young irrational australian teenager who doesn't think it's he's fault , all smug and arrogant. wtf.
Fortunately no one's hurt.
And lastly...
I am not even gonna start talking bout natural disaster around the world at any time.
Singapore's at such a prime location...
we dun even need to worry bout earthquake.
SO...
wat love most bout my country...
Thanks to PAP...
I feel so safe! :)
EDUCATION:
Alright...
It is a well recognized fact that Singapore has one of the best Education system ever! :)
so ...
I reallie dun even wanna talk bout it ya!
EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS! :)
anyway....
PAP has been doing such a FANTASTIC job for our country!!!!
And in such a short amount time.
(Think about India, Indonesia or even China...
who is still struggling...)
WHY WANNA ROCK THE BOAT WHEN IT'S SMOOTH SAILING???
Do you really believe the oppositions will be able achieve wat the PAP can acheive.
This is a country we are talking about.
Not a household.
This our future we are talking bout.
But of course...
we dunno wat our future absolutely hold.
But...
PAP has proven themselves ya?
Like our beloved MM Lee Kuan Yew says...
"Vote wisely"
oh... and Last but not least.
GOTTA THANK MY LOVELY PAP /GOVERNMENT...
FOR HANDING OUT AN AWESOMELY BIG HONGBAO$$$!!!!
erm.. will the opposition be so generous? :S
My voting decision is pretty obvious isn't it?
haha ... :P
but Guess I will be in other part of the world liao neh!
hope I didn't bore you guys with my political views/rubbish.
watever..ahahaha...
I am not really good at this... but I try.
And these are my thoughts! :)
NOTE: RE-EDITED:
I came across a youtube video on Nicole Seah (Opposition Party) talking bout the PAP party, shortly after I published this post...
And I do sort of agree with her to a certain extent.
And I do like certain things that she said.
But still... I stand by my decision and loves.
Mainly because regardless... of all other external factors that PAP has done or have failed to do.
PAP has worked well for me all my life. :)
(will try to blog a lil bout Nicole Seah speech if I have time...)haha..
hope you enjoy reading them!
lovelove,
Alicia
(vote for me! vote for me! vote for me!!! (^.*)
