Be Thankful

I used to say that Singapore is a boring place, and now I am in a part of the world where it is really exciting hah - news is updated by the hour.
There is a on-going sense of impending danger, people can carry carbines into restaurants, parking lots. It's starting to all get a bit too much for me. I've realised that there are people here who mask themselves from all the bad news around them, delving into their hobbies, interests to escape from the cruel news of war. While I do not feel that this is the best way, I can understand why they do so.

I miss the times when I can go into a shopping mall, sit there for hours on end and not worry about things like suicide bombers or even that army boy with a M16. I can understand why the people here are allowed to carry guns around with them but it still makes me uneasy.

The women here serve NS too. Be thankful, Singapore girls!

Makes you not take what we have in Singapore for granted - security. Sure, we bitch about the erp, and all the other wonderful policies our government dishes out from time to time. The fact that is anyone can walk in the street and not worry about being the next headliner on the news.

Give me boring.

Okay - this has absolutely nothing to do with guitar, but just had to say it.
