"It is just that Singapore appears a tad too safe and boring, and so 'we need to work overseas to get a different experience'. "

Read that from the Straits Times concerning an article related to emigration. The subjects are the teens - the future generation of Singapore.

For some reasons, I have evolved to see that statement as immature and childish. We seemed to have taken a safe environment for granted. In the midst of all those terroist threats, war conflicts and disasters, thought this is the time when people yearn for a stable and safe life. And I think that Singapore is really one of the few places which has achieved this level of security and stability. She has done a really good job. Also for some reasons, suddenly I feel obliged to pay my tax tributes to Singapore as the money would go to the progress of the nation and its defense system (of course, the MPs as well). Think it's really a worthwhile cause, to maintain a strong defense so that we'll continue to enjoy this rare stability, an essential factor to raise our families in.

Perhaps it's all about being abroad in the first plae before you start seeing how wonderful Singapore is in comparison. Is it boring? Yes it certainly is, compared to places like DisneyLand and other interesting tourism places. But if you are talking about living for extended periods of time, I think Singapore's entertainment ranks pretty high too. At least there's more stuff to do in the vicinity of your home.

haha okay, i'm just being biased cos I grew up in that environment. People here seem to enjoy their life here as well, as they grew up here. Well despite that, I am still pro-Singapore... wahhahahaa~

Inspiration Quotes
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
