Folks,
One day, while going through Canadian desi and some other websites, a question came up to my mind.
And I decided to post it under the name “ where is the end?”
Today, I happened to read that trend and I felt like what Victor Frankenstein might have felt when he saw the demon he created.
This tread seems to have became a place for individuals to bash and abuse others…something like a boxing ring..of course, I am not the referee.
Guys, This is not my intention when I posted a small message and I sincerely apologize for what ever is going on in this tread. I never wanted this to happen

"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be"
This was a good discussion.
Due apologies for any hurt caused in my posts.

Apart from the above data few general feelings :
In holiday or weekend you can only think of SANTOSA or ECP or MOVIE at most you can think of Malaysia.
Hard to see smile on the people face...in MRT you feel like seating among Roberts.
People are not much civilised even the country has moved from third world to first world. Its like same man in new dress. When you are travelling with baby and trying to cross road...no body gives a damn...and everybody try to movefirst.
even worse in MRT...people will overtake you to catch a seat. what I feel is country's economy has moved up somehow but people are same. Its society which makes country not only economy.
The basic living standard itself are not comparable. if you go to HDB where most of the Singaporean live, you can easily make a difference.
Hong Kong was much better than singapore, may be because of the place where I was living in Hong Kong. I was living in Discovery Bay which was really very nice and incomparable to singapore.
I can find any place in singapore like wan chai's night life...
I am very busy at the moment..will write more..
Cheers
