Man-Made Attractions. HA!

Singapore, host to thousands of multinational corporations, is already a major travel draw because of its reputation for safety, cleanliness and efficiency, as well as

"man-made attractions such as top-end shopping malls."

" MAN-MADE ATTRACTIONS SUCH AS TOP-END SHOPPING MALLS!!! "

" MAN-MADE ATTRACTIONS SUCH AS TOP-END SHOPPING MALLS!!! "

" MAN-MADE ATTRACTIONS SUCH AS TOP-END SHOPPING MALLS!!! "

Oh well. Suck it up if that is Singapore's most unique feature to foreign tourists....

I'm a person who likes to travel at least once a year

And not to Genting or some cock JB eating trip

But to somewhere further and or interesting at least

And I hope in my lifetime

I would at least get to see all the 7 Wonders of the World

Be it man-made or ancient

And be it the latest or what

(why the hell do they keep changing?!)

So when I travel I often wonder what those places would hold

Like I'm planning to go Cambodia to see Angkor Wat

To Thailand Bangkok to walk the night market and etc

Or Japan to see sakura & snow and experience the culture there

Or even India to see the Taj Mahal

Or Spain to Barcelona or Madrid to view the football stadiums etc

Then I suddenly think of Singapore....

In the shoes of a tourist

When you check out Singapore

What do you expect to find?

" Great food....

Laksa, char kway tiao, chicken rice, satay etc....

Unique mixture and blend of different ethnic cultures...

Merlion...

Chinatown...

Little India...

Sentosa... "

And now the CASINO of course!!!

Hey come on

小S ytd on 康熙 said something to those presenting tourist attractions

“ 你讲了那么多

我很像还是没那么想去啊!”

I think thats the same I feel when I place myself in the tourists shoes

But I'm not saying Singapore is a bad place

But we do have our good points

As in the Govt is good

We are living in comfortable housing

Have schools to study in

(albeit very very tough and merciless education system)

And we DO have good food to eat all the time

And yes the whole freaking Orchard belt has been renovated

With some million or billion made-over and stuff

And ION and 313 and Orchard Central have sprung up

However do the aforementioned strong points

Or so-called tourists attractions attract tourists?

Do you FEEL ATTRACTED AT ALL??!

Thats the final question to everyone out there

Do think about it

Think hard on how to improve the tourists attraction

And perhaps you can win yourself a Nobel prize then

And drive Lambor and live in Orchard condo

Live the life of the rich and famous

BUT...

Only if you can do that

And solve the decreasing visitors rate

With the constraints of limited land spaces

And minimum natural surroundings to contemplate with

And only if you have a piece of paper call "degree"

With " HOSPITALITY " or " TOURISM " printed on it

If ultimately you do not have the paper

With the god's sent words on it of course

Then you still can get the Italian job done

Then confirm guarantee chop stamp plus refund

You will drive not only a Lambor

But a Bugatti Veyron at least

:)

Why do I have a sick feeling I'm typing this becuz

I haven been to the casino or the Universal studio yet?

And the other reason must be I'm not doing a good job

in applying for the scholarships

All in all...

I have another sick feeling this

procrastination of applying for scholarships

Is gonna cost me dear this year

And yes maybe its the fcuking hard bump on my forehead against the bedframe last night when the pillow slipped while I slammed my forehead down onto the "supposedly position" of the cushion is causing me such a headache

Need to go sleep now....

Good night world

Nobel prize for the win.....

:)
