Ok the fish I want is not cheap too :( I found out that for a 3-4 inch it's around $65 and the larger sizes usually go for between $80 - $100 <!-- / mess...

I think if you wrote to the PAP Times, it will definately be published.

They like these pro Singapore news!

Well it's certainly up to you

I appreciate lots of things here, though not perfect but we do have it good here. Anyway, is there even a perfect place? I doubt it.

Well, there is no Utopia here on Planet Earth. I think the sooner we come to accept this, the happier we'll be. In every place that we live in, there will be things about the place that we love and rave about, and things that we dislike or hate, but no matter what, it all boils down to making the most of your situation.

I won't call myself pro-PAP because there are things that I find dodgy. But then again, I do not like what happens over in SC where they rant and rave like lunatics and tear down everything about Singapore. Seriously, how much life experience, how much overseas exposure do these people really have to warrant all that complaining about Singapore? We may not be the best, but we're certainly not the worst!

There are so many foreigners here who come from countries like Poland, Ukraine, South Africa, Lebanon, etc. and if you're friendly to them, they will not hesitate to regale you with tales of appalling living conditions and political suppression and/or economic hardship in their homeland. Tales of communism, tales of rampant crime, where you fear for your safety every single day of your life... If you take all that into consideration, Singaporeans have it good.

And yet, they are dissatisfied! Sometimes, really don't know why they are kpkb'ing about.

You know what a few Aussies who've travelled over to Singapore have asked me? They look puzzled when they find out I'm from Singapore and they ask quizzically, "Why are you here? You live in such a wonderful country!"

And last evening, I had a visitor in a patient's room gush on and on about how wonderful Singapore's hospitals are because she had to visit a GP whilst in Singapore recently on holiday. She blatantly said, "Singapore's health care system is top-class! Here, it's like 3rd world!" This coming from a fair dinkum Aussie! We ought to be proud!

Oh boy you should see all the bitching about the health care here

One thing though we do need more hospitals and doctors because the wait can be terrible but I understand that is the same everywhere.

Rhonda SG

Yeah... I can understand that a major overhaul like this one would take some time to implement. Certainly there are a lot of bugs to be ironed out, etc.

I say let us all give Jason some time to sort it out.... if anything, I've always felt that an overall change of interface is long overdue.

Et tu, Brute?! Sounds like overall, we are pretty positive about the changes here. I'd say we are a stellar bunch!!

opportunities.

i have relatives in USA and Australia and they are happy to come back to singapore and close their CPF account.

it all depends. people who want a really stable life with a 'stable' government will like singapore.

people who are not affected by the government and need the resources from overseas to do their business will not want to come back to this country

Singapore's health care system IS world-class. You do have to take into consideration what you get everywhere else in the world. No place in the world, developed countries included, have a perfect system. Ours is far from perfect, but in comparison, is one of the best.

At the end of the day, it's all a matter of "To each his own".

Personally, I love the four seasons and I have grown to like Melbourne's weather except during summertime. *stares out at blazing hot sun outside and shakes head... Now, the four seasons is something you can never get in Singapore!

elin, how to load pics?

On healthcare,

YES! We need more people.

Here's my joke of the week.

Sat, after working at WWW, I was chewing on a white rabbit milk sweet waiting for my debriefing when I felt a sharp pain on my left gum, i moved the sweet to another side of my mouth and out drop a fragment of my tooth.

I went rinsing and out pop another fragment of my tooth. Its from the 2nd largest left upper molah. It bascially broke into 2 pieces and left me a wall of that tooth on the outside.

Trying to find a dentist or a family doctor that is opened after 7pm is not funny.

Next time head to the A&E dept of SGH or NUH.

And there's a worldwide shortage for healthcare staff. It all depends on how bad the shortage is nia! :P
