Had a great time being 'tour guide' again this time when lee came to visit spore for the first time yeah. It's been a nice time & glad he enjoyed this trip. U're more busy than a celebrity la with so many friends wana meet up with u. I can shake legs at home next time...kidding 555.
Singapore is really getting too crowded... So many wana come here to work... Met many people from philippines who's working here. Easily u can find a foreigner here working. woah...

I've set up a new website specially for Singapore. http://thesingaporelife.multiply.com/
Drop by to have a look if u wish to know more about the ongoings in Singapore and places to look around in Singapore. Just be a bit patient as i only update when i'm free & if i manage to catch the buzz going on in Singapore during my free time=)

Enlighten me if your country also has nation-wide language campaigns. The Speak Good English Movement (SGEM) was launched in Singapore in 2000 by our PM Gok Chok Tong to encourage Singaporeans to speak grammatically correct English. ( http://www.goodenglish.org.sg/ )

I'm not sure how effective this campaign has been doing but at least, it has perhaps raise the awareness among some.
Yes it is important to speak Good English but at the same time, Singlish is something that makes us Singaporeans unique. Anywhere u go, just by hearing the English spoken by a Singaporean u'll recognise immediately your fellow country man. It's something i don't think we should feel ashame of. On the other hand, i must admit that there must be a balance. I sat before on the bus, in the toilet, standing in queue and hearing how our young and working people communicate with one another, compared to English spoken perfectly by some foreigner, somehow it seems more comfortable hearing Good English being spoken.

Well, i don't wish to see banning of 'use of singlish' but i think locals should also know when to use, and when to speak Good English. If usage of singlish goes out of hand, i think it'll reach a point where one can't even recognised if it's English anymore. And this isn't going to do us any good if we're going global with English as our main spoken language in communication.

I am surprised to learn that the Speak Mandarin Campaign was launched as early as 1979 by our then PM Lee Kuan Yew. ( http://www.mandarin.org.sg/site/ )It was only recently that i'm aware of the 'Huayu Cool' raising awareness on speaking mandarin. With China coming up and more and more Singaporeans venturing to China for work, Mandarin is getting it's attention increasingly.

I'm not aware of other countries having language campaigns. Singapore is truely a country where government really looked into the well-being of the people and the country. Even educating people on languages. Well, a nanny-state? u have your own take.

I was eagerly searching for a nice picture for another site but stumbled upon my own pictures and videos my friend took of me when i just grad from school. 4-5yrs ago u can say.
Can u believe it now, i can't believe that was me then. Even i can't believe myself, Even i shook my head. I can imagine & understand why mum was so upset over me then. As i click on each year, i see the change with time. Tired times, rebellious times, friends times, etc..
No wonder people says u're wiser with age, not about being smarter or more intelligent, but seeing more things in life experiences, maturing and seeing yourself grow.
I'm not smart nor have special talents, nor do i ask for them. This journey makes me treasure people around me more, and appreciate life and each breathing moment.
My energy has died down quite a fair bit but hope there's still fire left out there somewhere in the correct way I don't want to go down that lane again.. well, i wasn't that bad to the extreme.
I'm lucky to have a sister who saved my 'life' twice, my turning points are where she is.
My big brother who always never fails to be so demanding in understanding the mathematics concepts than giving me answers, my maths was so much better with him around. Cannot do without him when computer breaks down wahaha.

well, i have a fantastic family..words can't describe. We all grow together don't we?
Pls treasure your loved ones.. u don't want to wait for another disaster to hit the world to realise and regret.

I pray for the children and survivors in China & Myanmar to be be able to get the needed help & be strong to move on in their journey ahead into the future.
