pride for the country

I wanted to do up this post yesterday, but didn't have the chance to cos i fell asleep. HAHA. yes i know, typical of me. But here goes anyway.

Watched this programme on discovery, about the new circle line that we're going to have. I was actually quite amazed at first, that the circle line even managed to get its place as a documentary on one of the most watched channels in the world, and at a 10pm slot too. Immediately i was glued on to it.

But why? What was this feeling? Its not as if one show on a 10pm programme is any big deal yes? But i guess what kept me watching was partly cos i felt pride for the country and its transport systems. Even though we may complain that CTE is always jammed, and we joke that the ERP stands for "Everyday Rob People", and make it sound like we totally hate our country. It simply isn't totally a hundred percent true when we say "I hate Singapore and i want to migrate to another country next time". Don't get me wrong, this isn't meant to coincide with national day even though its just 2 days away. But trust me, for a lot of us youths, our bark is worse than our bite.

I was so proud of my country when i heard the UN ambassador to Singapore say on discovery channel that "Singapore is the only country that has progressed from a developing [country] tp developed country in a span of 30-40 years". Isn't that amazing?

And i didn't know that the circle line project cost 6 billion dollars =X

Just to sidetrack a little from my title:
Went to dig up treasure with jing in my house on wed. (: I'm glad we did. (: ok even though my treasure might not be very interesting, we still talked quite a bit on other things, which i think is good. when school reopens [omg no.. ):], there won't be so much time anymore. :(

letters and autism

Saw a friend's mum on tv today. featured her teaching autistic kids in a special school, and i had to explain to my mum and granny that autisim isn't the same as intellectual disability. In any case, asked my friend if that was her mum on tv, and we talked on msn for the first time in... i think 3 plus years? doesn't sound long. But it has been quite a while. And I am glad for this. May meet up with the old gang cos of this next week. By then, i hope i'll be rid of the pang of whatever i feel whenever i pass by a certain mrt station, first started when i was on the train with jing a few years back.

Now, i'm actually supposed to be writing a letter to a person. Its kind of due tomorrow. haha. And i'm actually very stuck. There are so many things that i want to express but can't seem to put down in words. They are all in a huge jumble in my head. I actually wonder if other people would actually be able to make a sense out of it if they were in my head. Is this how the autistic kids feel like? I guess the biggest thing i'd like to say is: Thank You for everything, and so, "for you, a thousand times over". That about sums it all up.

Alright. I think i about know where this is going. This letter has been in my head for about a month already anyway. HAHA.

Back to writing it.
