da-da-da we ain't gonna live forever

Even though I have lived in Singapore for about 17 years, this is my first time taking the LRT.
Don’t laugh, I know you want to but don’t.
It feels a little bit like a roller coaster ride, especially when you face the front that gives you a full view of the tracks.
I went to Bukit Panjang Plaza today to get my dad’s present, if you are wondering why I talk about LRT.
I am a more pro MRT person, maybe it is because I am used to taking MRTs to where ever I want to go.

I know what I am going to write may sound very cliché, bare with me.
Anyway, it is quite cool when I type cliché; the thingy on top of the “e” automatically appears.
Back to what I wanted to say, ya, it is about Singapore.
Growing up here, I have grown to like this place because it is where my family and friends are.
It is the people that make the event/place a more memorable one.
I came to this conclusion when ever I attend an event where I know it will be boring and it turned out to be boring but it is also one of the most memorable events because of the people that I hang out with.
Like going to school nowadays, but with my classmates, the day is never boring.

On the same line, I just saw the YOG opening ceremony and heard some negative comments about it, but I personally feel that it is Singapore making history that matters most.
Anyway, Singapore-being the first host of YOG- will be the ones setting the benchmark for the next few generations.
Why worry so much about making the whole thing all-so-perfect.
I think is quite a good job done, though, especially the lighting of the torch.^^

Back to my point, in anything event or time, I just find it exciting to go “ra-ra”, which means getting all hyped up.
The adrenaline rush is amazing, and an anti-drug way to get high.
Haha.

Hope that I will be able to meet an “ang mo”(Caucasian) athlete, who is taller then me, this few days.
Fingers crossed.
