Depressing Singaporean

Saw this in one of my friend's contact. The poster's name is Conrad Alvin Lim.  Feel like posting it here permanently.

What a depressing year to be a Singaporean ... we became "dogs" in PRC eyes, and then we became "rotten" in Filipino eyes too ... our ministers slept around ... our officials gave out contracts for sex ... our NUS students proved what nymphomaniacs they are ... even the lecturers gave grades for sex ... our tertiary students f**ked our DPM for being asked "What do you think?" ... our country slipped into recession but we chose to live in denial ... our inflation rate became the highest in the world ... our boys died in service for our country (while training) ... we became the richest country in the world that underpays its PRC bus drivers and crane operators ... our casinos became the most profitable gaming centers in the world (*sigh*) ... our oldest food caterer went bust ... we sucked at table tennis again ... property and car prices hit record highs ... a bowl of Red Rubies is now the same price as a bowl of fish ball noodles two years ago ... some more people picked Bedok Reservoir as their departure lounge ... our teenagers became more disrespectful, publicly and vulgarly cursing their parents for the mobile phone issues ... a dolphin died in the name of human entertainment ...


But we did get some good news ... we won at the Paralympian Games (props to Laurentia!!) ... they didn't raise the tax on tobacco ... we're in the finals of the Suzuki Cup ... we kept our AAA/A+ investment rating (duh) ...

Did someone wish me a Happy New Year in January of 2012? Well, that was a waste of time.

Hello everyone....

Its been almost half year since I last post something in Multiply. For the last few months, I was busy migrating all my blogs and some photos to my blogspot after the annoucement that Multiply will close. I thought it had closed its door on 1-Dec, but today 16-Dec, I can still see my site and surprisingly I can still post this blog. Hmmm...maybe nobody can see this entry except myself. Nevermind, I'll wait for comments. If I didnt receive any, then my prediction is confirmed. Hahahaha ....

Not by shielding us from all sorrows and pain, but by strengthening us to bear it, as it comes. Not by making our path easy, but by making us sturdy to travel any path...
