It has really been a long time

I have been travelling like a dog lately and have not had the chance to blog very much. Also with the family here, I find it hard to even have time to write.

It is a painful pleasure to have the family here as it makes me feel complete and also makes me happy deep inside. With a 2 yr old or in fact with any kid, your life is always full of fun and entertainment. But then of course, having a child any where in this world is not cheap and it is even worse in Sillypore because things are really getting expensive here. Imagine, we took the LRT (and got lost) and to travel 2 stops, it cost us 1 plus each. Wow... I thought public transport was supposed to enable to public to travel conveniently.

But in so saying, it is getting bad... With the prices of COE going sky high and not looking like coming down anywhere in the near future, public transport becomes necessary. However, what makes the pain even worse is that we have to share our space with people who take this as a transient stopover to either go back as a rich person or to go to an even better place.

This immigration policy is really silly and it has really got to be controlled. I read with some trepidation that we have almost 2 million foreign nationals who call this little dot home. That means the local population has been diluted by half (we were 4 million strong before) and this is scary.... But then of course, like any logical people, we just hope that it will not affect us too much.

Wake up and look at the sky and smell the flowers people, the sky is falling and the flowers have thorns. We are getting out numbered and out classed in any and every way. So we really gotta work hard to make our own little heaven in this hell and try to find a happy life for ourselves.
