♥ j'aime la vie

On this very special day, as a patriotic citizen of Singapore, I would like to dedicate a post for this little red dot that has sheltered me with everything I need for the past 19 years.

There were times when thoughts such as 'Singapore is so small' , 'The weather in Singapore is killing me' , 'How I wish I'm born in America' and many more.. We can't help but to keep comparing with those big countries. But heyyyy, think again. Singapore has its irresistible appeal too & the other side of the world isn't that green either.

Think about the safety, the economy, the clean and green society, the education system, the healthcare resources available, Singapore is of the best country with such high quality of life and standard of living in the world. Shouldn't we be contented?

We have to admit that travelling around in Singapore is pretty easy, convenient and fast, since it is 15,000 times smaller than USA. For people like me, whom can't take long journey rides and get carsick easily. You love Singapore, don't you?

No matter what, I feel proud being born in Singapore to be part of the 4.5 millions whom are residing in one of the 20 smallest countries in the world. How cool right? The country is small but yet have a big population. Another very unique social phenomenon especially when the people here all belong to different ethnic groups, religions and languages. Thanks to the diverse cultures and races, we are more than a bilingual, plus we even have a special identity that Singaporeans shared - our very own flavor of English with the "LAH", "LEH", "LOR", "ORH" etc.. that we speak unknowingly. Not to forget, we get to enjoy the vast variety of food offered.

If you are thinking of visiting anywhere in Asia, this would be a good place to visit first where you would most likely not feel out of place or experience any great culture shock!
