Proud to call myself a Singaporean

Singapore has come a long way, from a small little fishing village to a bustling and vibrant city. Now, despite being just a little dot on the globe, Singapore managed to find a spot in the top 50 countries ranked and emerged as 20th. What's more, we even top the list for economic dynamism, a feat accomplished by a mere dot on the globe. Recently, we even hosted the first ever YOG and what we have done so far is commendable. What with all the ceremonies, concerts and preparations, everything is indeed excellent.

The title "Uniquely Singapore" suits us perfectly as well. Singlish, a language created by Singaporeans and known only to us, proves this point. Besides, Singaporeans are also stereotyped to be 'kiasu' and this is also another point which shows just how unique we are.

Unlike other countries, Singapore is also a peaceful and safe place to live in. We do not experience clashes between the army and protesters, neither do we experience riots or wars. Best of all, we also do not need to be worried of natural disasters claiming our lives.

From all this, I feel blessed and is grateful to be born in such a fantastic country.

Finally... =D

It's the end... of our tests. :)

2.48 p.m. in the afternoon marked the end of our tests for the term as we handed our history papers to Mr Ho. Looking around, I noticed that everyone seemed more relax than they were the previous days. Finally, there will no longer be any late night mugging nor last minute revision to stress us out... at least for now. Now, the only thing in our way are the test results. Good or bad, no one knows except for the teacher and this suspense is killing me. At least we will be getting our Biology paper tomorrow, and after hearing some rumours from the other classes, I am certainly not hoping for much since the paper was indeed a challenging one.

Also, despite being the end of our tests, we should not slack off to much since there is still the upcoming End-of-Years examinations to look forward to.

On a final note, I would just like to wish all my classmates Good Luck for tomorrow. You never know what a little luck could result in and how big of a difference it would make.
