They are overcrowded because they are awesome.

Doh!

Then why does everyone in them look so dour and miserable?

I really noticed this after being overseas for Christmas and New Year - everyone just looks so miserable - they are like atmosphere vacuums.

How many Singaporeans do you know who are "Characters" - they are all miserable dour clones

They really are. I just popped back for a spot of business and noticed it almost immediately. Miserable, unhappy and generally dour. And so close to their favourite time of year where they get to play pretend Chinese as well. Made me realise that leaving was the best move we ever made. Much happier now. (as are the people around us).

But you just can't stop going on about about the place, can you, Hole?  You and your various aliases just can't stay away - go on, fatty, make a clean break.  See if you can, Hole - try it!

Looks to me like you let Mr  A get under your skin. Juist admit it, he's right!

Huh?

The guy's great, so easy to bait. 

Looks like you are the one who's been bated following him round like a little smelly dog.

You're kidding no-one, Hole

See, he's got you sniffin

You're kidding no-one, Hole

Any reason you're following me around like a little smelly dog?  LOLOL

Some of the PPs have forgotten the following however:

Singapore is fantastic, it's like heaven on earth. If they allowed dual citizenship, I'd migrate here. Orchard Towers does it for me. But even more, is its relentless pursuit of excellence. Just look:

World's best airport

World's best airline

World's busiest seaport

World's least corrupt government

World's tallest hotel

World's best workers (documented and certified by Perc and Beri)

World's highest ownership of VCRs

World's longest poh piah

World's highest ownership of flats

Among the world's lowest crime rate

World's best town planning

World's highest man made waterfall

World's best zoo or second best zoo

Singapore is ranked 2nd in the world and 1st in Asia for having the best protection of intellectual property according to the Economist Intelligence Unit

Singapore's largest healthcare group, SingHealth, has brought the world's first integrated neuroscience center to the region.

Suntec city is the biggest man made fountain and is located in Singapore.

Night safari is the world’s first night zoo

World's best hotel

World's best Orchid Garden

World's fastest texting champion

World's First Full Butler Sky Dining only at Singapore Flyer

Republic Polytechnic's School of Hospitality opened its new Restaurant Training Laboratory by preparing a Ham and Cheese sandwich measuring 88 meters - setting the world record for the Longest Ham and Cheese Sandwich.

World's best Newspaper

Taken together, this is quite an exceptional place and that's why we're here.

Once again, Singapore is the NUMBER ONE!

Largest Mind Reading Feat


Singapore magic duo JC Sum and Magic Babe Ning read the minds of 100 volunteers in 60 minutes on January 7 at Sinema Old School. The volunteers, garnered from Facebook, participated in picking words from books, stories from newspapers, creating a composite picture and the duo successfully detected them. As the volunteers streamed into the hall, the duo were blindfolded and ear-plugged for an hour and half before the mind reading started.

Singapore has one of the lowest tuberculosis rates in Asia

About 1,380 Singapore residents have been diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) each year over the last five years, with 95 per cent of the infections affecting adults.

During the same period, about 100 students were diagnosed each year, with more than 75 per cent of the infected students aged 17 years or older.

Minister of State for Health Dr Amy Khor, in response to questions from Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Lina Chiam on TB in Singapore, said this works out to about 40 cases per 100,000 - an infection rate similar to that among people who do not live in Singapore.

Currently, there are about 1,000 people being treated for the disease.
