Happy National Day
Yesterday was national day. This year, I decided I will really enjoy my national day by thinking about all the little things I love about Singapore. And I realised I really love Singapore SO MUCH!
The little things I love about Singapore:
1. The roads are beautiful. Its really like taking a drive in the country everyday. Maybe a lot of people don't realise this, because driving can be quite stressful, but if you look out the car window you'll realise outside is always green! No where in the world can you find a city with such beautiful roads. Our roads and traffic system are also well organised. The signs are easy to follow and even if you get lost, you'd somehow always manage to find your way in the end.
2. Our beaches are so clean! I went for a picnic with Weiquan's family at Changi point yesterday and the beach was small, but almost rubbish free! I was really impressed because it is such a secluded place.. even if it was filled with rubbish few people would know. But it was almost spotless.
3. Singapore is super safe. The night before national day, I went for supper with some colleagues near my house. It ended about 11pm and I decided that I would walk home (about 1km away). On my way home, I thought to myself, I feel so happy that I can do this without fear of someone robbing or raping or murdering me. Unlike in other countries where after 10pm, it gets really dangerous to be out.
4. Singapore has such good food. I really love Singapore food. Laksa, Ba Chor Mee, Rojak, Thosai, Ba Ku Teh etc.. what's there not to love. There's something for everybody. We really have such a great variety of food! Anything you want you can find here.
So those are the few things I thought about yesterday. I really feel so fortunate to be born in Singapore. Sure, its not the perfect country. But which country is perfect? Just like no one is perfect, the one with the least imperfection is the best right? And to me, Singapore is really the best country in the world! :)
