The little red dot: Oie! We're here la!!!

In commemoration of Singapore's 47th birthday tomorrow.

For some of you who might not know.

I'm from Singapore, and I'm proud to be a Singaporean!

Although Singapore is ranked 1st as the city with the best investment potential (August 2011), 

4th on the Economist Intelligence Unit's Asia Most Livable City survey,

1st on Gallup's Potential Net Migration Index,

No. 1 for Asian expatriates in 2010 on ECA International’s Location Ratings Survey,

15th most livable city worldwide in the Monocle livable city index,

constantly ranking among the top for easiest place to do Business and for shopping,

many people still do not know where excatly are we.
Why? Why? Why?

I AM SHOUTING OUT TO YOU A FACT.

WE ARE NOT PART OF CHINA, OR MALAYSIA.

WE ARE AN INDEPENDENT CITY-STATE-NATION called Singapore.

Notice that there is a border? It proves that we are not part of Malaysia.

Again, it looks like part of Malaysia, but I swear, it is not.

Blessed to be protected by larger countries surrounding us, guarding us from potential natural disaster.

Disappeared. 

I know, you can't see us. I can't see us too. But it is somewhere there...

From East to West, with lots of delays and traffic jams, it'll take probably 2 hrs 30 mins.

Yes, we are small.
麻雀虽小 五脏俱全.

So now that you know where we are, please help me to give a slap in the face to anyone who ever tells you that Singapore is in China or Malaysia. (Just Kidding~                                                                  ... not really)

Due to being so tiny, we are proud to call Singapore, the little red dot.

Our National flag looks like this.

And whenever National's day is coming, everyone would hang the flag outside their apartments.

(Even those HDB flats that has nobody living in... o0)

And also, last but not least, we have our National anthem. Majulah Singapura.
We would sing this song everyday, rain or shine, during our time as students in school.
Our local TV channel, Channel U, also play this song everyday before their first program and after their last program.

So glad and fortunate to be born here!



God Bless!!!
