I'm so sad when i heard the news of Steve Irwin's death. For those who dunno who he is, he is also known as The Crocodile Hunter. He is oso the one that kept me occupied alot of the time on Animal Planet. He was killed when a stingray barb punctured his chest while he was filming an underwater documentary on the Barrier Reef. So tragic right. He's got wife & kids lor. Haix. I hate tragic deaths. Now everyone on msn has a turtle as a tribute to him.
Was reading The New Paper & there were 2 full pages stating all the things done in preparation for the IMF/World Bank meetings. I guess there will be many people who take pride in showing others what a nice place we have but i think it's getting a little too much & it just feels a little dodgy to me. Why start paving the roads to perfection, plant clolourful plants all over Singapore, do a nation-wide cleaning up (just to name afew) just for this event? Shouldn't all these things be done for us, the citizens? Now visitors get all the good stuff. Do we thank them because without them, we wun see Singapore the way it's gonna look in 1 week's time? I noe its sucha small thing & pretty flowers are the least of my worries but it just seems wrong somehow. For those who think it's gonna benefit us eventually, dun be too happy first. Cos by the time this event is over, i guess the plants are also about to die & i'm sure they will be thrown away & never to be replaced. And you noe those irritating metal plates that have been around for the longest time making driving hazzardous? Those will be covered up with tar but once the event over, it's gonna be torn up & its gonna be back to normal. I swear its no joke driving over those metal plates, especially when it's raining cos its super slippery & bumpy.
Ok people, i've done my share of bitching for the day. I think the government is gonna blacklist me one day & make me migrate to another country. What to do, i'm a Singaporean. I like to complain mah.
