Something damn cock happened to me last night. As I made my way home from City Hall after watching the Fireworks with my friends(the crowd at the area at that time is frightening), I was so glad that I managed to catch the last train home. Even whenI missed the last bus in the process, I was still glad to walk home as I knew I had saved money by not taking a midnight cab. But no way was I going to have it easy. ;( After walking for around 10 mins, sweating like a pig and legs aching. It was to my disbelief that I forgot to bring out my house keys. Can U imagine? Walking all the way home only to realize that your f%^$*&g house keys are just separted from u by a F%^&*$G door!!! No words can describle how I felt then. I really was thinking of knocking the door down or killing myself for being so forgetful. Think I had been hanging around t much with Joey. Darn. Anyway, got to take a midnight cab(kinda stupid and funny when I was trying my best not to do that) To cut a story short, I reached my mum working place to get the keys(not before being first scolded by her) and then reached home at 1+. Total cost of my stupidity is $18.00. ;( The only thing that cheered me up was that I managed to catch Duplex before I sleep. It is a comedy but not like those Adam Sandler kind. It is not slapstick humour. It is witty and Ben Stiller is great in it. I would give it a 3.5 upon 5.
Now back to the main topic. Happy 39th Birthday Singapore!!! Words can't describle how proud I feel to be a S'porean. I mean to progress from a fishing village to a developed nation in just 39 years is nothing short of a miracle. It was just like Greece winning the European Cup. Totally unexpected in those days. All the best to Mr Goh who can finally take the break he fully deserved. I been to some countries and I can tell u that nothing beats coming home and seeing all the trees along ECP while u are on the way home. Though there are still some rules and regulations in S'pore which cheeses me off(like no sex and the city vcd where in Bangkok u could get them anywhere), things are turning for the better. I really can't understand why S'poreans themselves are slamming S'pore. Though costs of living are high, i am willing to pay for it as I know assured that I would be having a high standard of living here. This is the place I grew up on. All my friends and loved ones are here. My favourite food are also here. ;) U got to pay a price to get the prize. This is one of my manager favourite slang. I totally agreed with him on that. I mean if everyone just want the easy way out, who is going to do all the work? The main reason why S'pore is able to prosper and progress is due to the fact that we are united as a people. I mean teamwork to me is one of the most important thing of all. No one can do everything by himself. Team effort is one of the most underrated value. Greece won the European Cup due to their great teamwork. So did S'pore. So to all my fellow S'poreans out there. Happy National Day and continue working hard to make S'pore the best home for all of us. Cheers..
You can take a picture of something you see. In the future where will I be?
