Me...a Singapore citizen?

I've been wanting to write an "intellectual" entry about PRs vs Singaporeans in my blog, after reading the extreme comments in the A1 forum.

But when I opened this blank slate, I got too lazy to do so. I already do so much legwork at work, I just couldn't be bothered to replicate it for my blog.

Baarghh, but I have so many views I haven't voiced. Honestly, I was quite flabbergasted and taken aback by some crude and irrational comments.

There's even a thread on "Treating new citizens equally". Why is there such a great divide? Why can't people live and let live...and leave us PRs or foreigners alone? Chill man. We're still contributing to the country in one way or another.

To put it in a nutshell, I've been toying with the idea of taking up Singaporean citizenship.

*gasp*

I know. A lot of people have so much to condemn about this country but honestly, the grass always SEEMS greener on the other side, so green that you don't see that huge patch of dead grass over the hill. There's always a yellow and dry patch somewhere. It's just how you cope with it.

I contribute so much to this country, as much as a citizen would. And to remain as a PR, I'd really be at the losing end in the long run. Plus my Aussie citizenship is some sort of a guarantee....but to what though? In case all else fails in SG? How..if I'm putting in an effort to maintain a stable career and life here? I would have no choice but to succeed in all aspects right?

To cut it short, I'm still toying with the idea. I probably won't make any drastic move till I'm in my late 30s. Coz I assume I'd really, really know what I want by then...or rather, I don't have much of a choice. Ha!

Working in China for a few years is still on my list...I think I really need that exposure. Now, I just need to aim the foreign media and wires...

I skipped dinner tonight and stayed in the office till 10pm - that means I've clocked 13 hours today.

Good. Time to crash.
