Winter is very very cool and fun at the first year. TRUE
when come to second year..
become boring already.. ITS OK WINTER TIME STUDY AND DO OTHER
THINGS
Every day.. Heater must be ON.. IF YOU ARE RICH OR HIGH PAYING JOB
WHY WORRY
Thermal wear and all the extra clothing is a MUST..... etc.. BUT I
LIKE WEARING JACKETS AND HAVE POCKETS FOR ALL MY STUFF - CELLPHONE,
PDA, PENS, SWEETS, CHOCOLATES, TISSUE PAPER, ETC.
When come to Summer..
It so HOT!!!! WOW BIKINI BABES
Over 100 ++ f. YES CAN BE QUITE HOT BUT DEPENDS WHERE U LIVE - PICK
UR OWN POISON
singapore only highest of 95f. TRUE - SINGAPORE IS ACTUALLY QUITE A
PARADISE - BUT FOR ME TOO SMALL FOR ACTIVITIES THAT I LIKE, ALSO
INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM, ACADEMIC FREEDOM, SUPPORT NOT THERE.
EVERYTHING BOND - SO CANNOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. NOT ENTREPEUNERIAL
ENOUGH - EVERYTHING ALSO THINK IS CONFLICT OF INTEREST - SO HARD TO
PROGRESS AND HARD TO INCREASE PAY. USA - UNBRIDLED OPPORTUNITIES -
IF EXPRESSLY NOT FORBIDDEN - CAN DO. WHEN SOMETHING COCK-UP THEN
MAKE RULES AS WE GO ALONG.
aside from that
Typhoon, flood watch, earthquake, hurricane, hails..etc will come
to visit U now and then... YES, YES, SO PICK YOUR POISON (SINGAPORE
- HAZE - euphemism for smoke), VERY HUMID AND HOT, WEAT LIKE A PIG,
NO LULL IN WEATHER OR CHANGE IN SEASONS.
Bus , TAXI and "Train"( MRT)
is so so so uncommon over there.. (OF COURSE, WHY USE PUBLIC
TRANSPORT WHEN YOU CAN DRIVE?)
everyday want go out anyway must drive car.
Car is a necessity there....
sometime i want take a break from driving also cannot. (GO TO NYC,
CHICAGO ETC FOR VACATION)
NightLIfe... well... not all Disco open til 6am or 24 hours.. (IF
THAT IS UR KIND OF THING), ME GO FISHING< PARKS< RESERVES<
HUNTING< CAMPING
BabyDolls open til 2 am only..
sian..
and after go chiong.. want go makan..
the 24 hours food store...
can shake head..
only left with choices like macdonald. IHOP... etc.. YES, YES, YES
- BUT ALSO GOT ALOT OF OTHER EATERIES AND RESTAURANTS - I DONT KNOW
WHERE YOU LIVE - DID YOU ACTUALLY LIVE PROPERLY?
all very sian one..
and so god damn far away..
not like singapore..
Multi racial choices.... CHOOSE WHERE U WANT TO LIVE- EVERYONE MAKE
THEIR OWN LIFE CHOICES - EXCEPT SINGAPORE SO SMALL, EVERYWHERE
QUITE THE SAME - SO NO CHOICE REALLY.

Singapore just too small, not happy with Ghim Moh, move to
Bedok?
USA, not happy with city, move to country, want to work in suburbs?
Or work in city?
Opportunities unlimted - astronaut to oceanographer to nuclear
submariner.
Education - no one say cannot - always can try and try and try.
SPORE PLACE A LOT OF LIMITS ON ACCESS.
Pay is high and quality of life is great.
I am happy.
Singapore my profession too many controls and restrictions, result
low pay, poor quality of life. Cannot do the things I want to do
easily. No support, then appoint FTs to oversee us?!?!?! Sg Gov
underspend on me for years for training so now cannot compete with
FTs.
USA gave me all the opportunities, training. No real difference
with anyone else in USA. United Nations where I work.
Life is good, I want to live forever. WORKING TOWARDS IMMORTALITY.
THAT'S WHY AMERICANS SPEND SO MUCH ON HEALTHCARE - LIFE IS GOOD -
THEY WANT TO LIVE FOREVER.
