Yes! Im Singaporean Blog Contest (Advertorial)


Singapore is definitely different from the other countries. Why do i say so? :) Hear this out.

  1. In the world map, we are the little red dot. ^^ Cute right?!!
  2. A racial harmony country. Hitler was obviously not born in Singapore. LOL
  3. We have our famous Kallang Wave.
  4. The food here is.... Wa Piang ehh! Syiok !
  5. We have our own language called "Singlish"
  6. We have the SINGAPORE SPIRIT!

As you can see, all these points here makes us differet from the rest of the countries. Imagine putting a Singaporean in an international crowd. Well, its easy to spot them because of the asian Singaporean faces. I cant really describe how does a Singaporean face look like but what i know is its among us Singaporeans that really can tell that you and me are from Singapore! :)

Im going to explain more about the points that i've made earlier on.

IN THE WORLD MAP, WE ARE THE LITTLE RED DOT.

Although we are a small country, we have great defence and we are united as a country! Like the malay people always say " Kecil Kecil chili padi" meaning, Although the cili padi is small but its really spicy compared the the bigger chili(s).


A RACIAL HARMONY COUNTRY




Yes, we used to have racial riots among us, conflicts here and there. But now, we're all united as one. No matter what race you're in, you're still equal!
Its like an example of the gummi bear's picture, even you're of the different colour, you're still a gummi bear, and you'll still taste yummy ^^



WE HAVE THE FAMOUS KALLANG WAVE



"Well, the Kallang wave. Good old times, good old times."

I wonder if there's such thing as Old Trafford wave. Hmmmm....

Here's a video of our famous Kallang Wave :D




THE FOOD HERE....WA PIANG EHHH.. SYIOK AHH!

Ahh, cant talk about food. Im drooling now :( Super hungry!

WE HAVE OUR OWN LANGUAGE CALLED "SINGLISH"



Actually its not a language uhh, i dont know who came up with the term Singlish.

Its more like Singapore + English.

For example : I am hungry
Singlish version: I am hungry leh!

Something like that but that makes us stand out from the other cou
ntries you see. :) Our own language ~~~ ahhh. hahahaha



WE HAVE THE SINGAPORE SPIRIT!


An attitude or principle that inspires, animates or pervades thought, feeling or action.” Or so a quick dictionary check tells about the word “spirit”. Back to our earlier example, France’s spirit is easily defined by the French Revolution, encapsulated in that historic moment: the Storming of the Bastille. Speak of China’s spirit and the Chinese Revolution, along with the Long March, come to mind. Singapore’s spirit is not so easily attributed to a single event in history.

Here, it is useful to draw attention to the difficulty of precisely characterising the “spirit” of any country. For everything said about the defining moments or characteristics that constitute the “spirits” of other countries, they remain mostly enigmas – inexplicable from the point of view of the man on the street, or wherever explainable, the results too diverse to count. Having said this, the author of this piece makes a bold proposal – perhaps there is no definitive answer to what the Singapore Spirit really is. Rather, it is what we ourselves make of this melting pot of cultures and thus differs from person to person. From all that we, as Singaporeans, make of our city, the Singapore Spirit then rises as a totality of our attitudes, beliefs and dreams.

And if that is so, given the success Singapore is today, we truly have much to celebrate in the Singapore Spirit.




FOR THAT, I AM PROUD TO BE A SINGAPOREAN!
