i mean ok. how fair can divers be? i swear my dad can be damn biased. but i happen to agree this time so not much conflict of interest there. haha.. but im wondering why showoff all the equipment? i mean won't the other countries know what you have then and think of new ways to kill you?
the performance was okk.. the potato chips people were kinda corny tho. and i especially liked that clip where lee kuan yew said something like "(though we've been kicked outta malaysia yada yada something along that line) 10 years from now we're going to be a cosmopolitan city" then the clip went on to show some of the changes s'pore went through. it was quite cool. and the cam later spanned to the current LKY sitting there looking so happy and satisfied. and rui en's hot. looked like she lost lots of weight. bet bert was drooling when her part came on. and taufik was so smart lookin la. and i was telling yongxue all that sitting in the void decks playing guitars have finally amounted up to somthing. haha.. quite evil la.
on the subject of patriotism, i must say im proud to be a singaporean. you've to admit we're really lucky to be born into a country who's so mini and yet have made it so far. the income gap ain't as big as many many other countries out there and most of us are leading a considerably comfortable life such that we've started to look to the larger and more materialistic things in life. and the education system is not bad. we've qualified teachers and good schools. everyone's a relatively comfy place to live. it's relatively safe at night. most places are neat and tidy. and though PAP always seem to be the political party in charge, the government is clean and uncorrupt and the leaders good, caring, responsible and far-sighted. and and the place is small!! although we've not as many places to have fun or holiday in as compared to other countries most of us adjust well and still manage to have fun with the limited number of locations available. and being small has it's advantages. we're more bonded as a nation and people with lousy sense of direction like me won't get lost too easily! ain't it fun? haha..
