Title: Friends
Extract:
"Other things too make Singapore special. Having a picnic on the beach on Christmas day has to be one of them. You would be crazy to do that in England. Eating at a hawker centre for less than the cost of cooking at home, on a warm evening, with more choice than you could get in a street of English restaurants, is another."

"I learned to have a world wide view since Singapore is the hub of the central area of Southeast Asia. Therefore it is no wonder that there are various cultures such as ethnicities, religious activities, as well as festivals. I saw the melting pot between modernity and tradition, global and local as well as east and west."

Title: Fuzzy Logic
Extract:
"Someone once told me that all one needed was two and a half days to see all of Singapore. I would tend to disagree. Small as it may be, it would take far longer than that just to absorb its all-embracing artistic culture. If only there were more hours in a day. There is so much to see and too little time to do."
