~ "i got to agree somewhat. Now that i'm working overseas, i appreciate sg even more.
btw. my bus fare just got raised from 6 to 8 hkd - freaking 33% !@#$ increase. nobody make much noise here. but when fares increased by less than 5% in sg, people think its the end of the world.
"

Those who don't are either shallow or chronically unappreciative (regardless of how much they already have) or both."
