I was watching the latest song sung by Taufik Batisah(yew) and Ray En. At first, i thought it was blardie corny ah..maybe because taufik is singing...Then the lyrics struck me.. it all made sense.

It brought me to reminisce about the old times where we were a kampong with as much say in the world as Christmas Island. Never heard of it right. Exactly. The determination potrayed by Lee Kuan Yew was so great that he was the genius who build this wonderful Singapore. The scenes in the songs weren't covering up a facade of poverty or anything. Singapore is really as peaceful and luxurious as it seems. I know i may sound freaking lame but well, i am in awe. I think LKY should be one of the legends in the world not exactly the same kind of legend like hitler but hey..he deserves it man.

Yet, there is two sides to everything. Much like the yin and yang. With the good comes the bad. Our country's reputation forces the kids to study too early and as a result causes them to have practically no childhood at all. Isn't it good? at least they can enjoy later in life.. enjoy later when the blessing of youth is all gone? what for? Yes, singapore is a wonderful country to be in but not live in. get what i mean?

I am going to migrate once i m secured financially so that my child would never grow up like Singaporeans. Rude, Self-centred ignited by the competitiveness in the country, but who could blame them? Expats seem so full of appreciation for life when compared.
Why singaporeans act the way they do is because it is a outlet for them to release their frustrations..and resort to stupid things..me included. I would migrate so my child would grow up without drinking brain boosters as milk..
