Is Spore boring or it's just our people that is ?
-
Every now n then if you ask any singaporean on the road if "Is spore a boring country?", i believe many will say "Yes"...
So, do you think Spore is a boring country or it's the people themselves?

Yah lor, it's mostly the same places... But honestly lah, if got money then go where also not boring, you can fly here fly there, get the most expensive and chio social escort, change a new one everyday to entertain you, try out the best food all over the world, self design and get people to build a private mansion etc etc... I got so many ideas to spend money, but not enough money to spend.Originally posted by browniebaobao:have anyone ever realized that whenever u go out with frens, the places u go are always bugis, orchard, citylink area etc? sg is so small and there's not much outdoor activities that we can do together ba. always end up in shopping malls la kopi, movie, ktv etc. -

i would say that singapore is not boring, not by a longshot...
i would say that the people in singapore have been spoilt rotten to the extent that they are all jaded and cynical beyond reason...
recently, there was a music fest, but people i asked didn't wanna go.. "boring" was the immediate answer.. then after that, some gave a little bit more of an answer... they didn't even want to go because they didn't know the type of music was being played... even when it was told to them, they didn't want to go because they "weren't sure if it'll be nice"
same goes for movies.. the singapore international film fest is coming up.. i bet if i asked the same people, they'd give me the same answers...
so there.. singapore isn't boring.. i would say that the people are jaded to an extent that they find the same things boring, yet are too "afraid" to venture forth and look for new things which are there for them anyway.. -
very well said, they dont wanna give things a try, and they magically know that its gonna be boring.Originally posted by the Bear:i would say that singapore is not boring, not by a longshot...

Singapore is not a boring place for the rich... only for the poor..

1. Most Other countries you can go out of the city; to another province or state; Singapore? Drive here drive there go here go there is the same.
2. Thailand, have many adult entertainment centres. Joo Chiat and Geylang keep getting raided by police makes you sick.
3. Most other countires make fun of their political leaders but in Singapore you do that you go bankrupt... boring.
4. Singaporeans have no free time.... in other countries, people do not need to work so hard because they are taken care of by the state and it is not so expensive.
5. Censorship galore here.... boring
6. nothing better to do than to come to sgforums.... yipes! -
Well...it really depends on what you want mah....Originally posted by browniebaobao:it's like everytime we go out is eat, eat, eat..

Maybe not all of your family members prefer outdoor activities?
Ever thought of:
:- Having a picnic with your family members?
:- Taking a stroll along the park/beach?
:- Flying kites? Rollerblading? Cycling? Swimming?
:- Play Bowling, Pool/Billard, Basketball?
:- La kopi @ Starbucks/Kopibean/whichever
:- Fishing/Catch crabs
:- Wine pubs/Holland V/chill-out pubs
:- BBQ, camping
:- Watch VCDs/DVDs, play videogames, board games, re-decorate your hse/room with your family members?
:- Downtown East, Sentosa(Quite a few places in Sentosa), Pulau Ubin, East Coast/Changi/Pasir Ris (FV) parks
:Science Centre, Jurong Bird park, Zoo, Night safari, Chinese Garden, Botanic garden, etc
:- Holiday chalets
:- Wanna go chiong with them also can...
All in all, i think it's how people plan or organise how they shld spend free time with family members/friends....
Singapore''ll be a very boring place if we make it a boring place....otherwise, i really don't see it that boring...Becoz we make up Singapore lor... -
yea manz...taht's why i always say to my friends that it's ppl that make their lives boring..not Singapore lor...Originally posted by the Bear:i would say that singapore is not boring, not by a longshot...

>> driving state to state n province to province? 2hrs of journey? Then ppl complain how come that state or province got this and that, but our state n province don't have this n that? So Ma Fan, have to travel/drive for 1hr ~2,3,4hrs to reach there, so far..why government cannot build or provide those services in our state or province....blah blah blah.. And if the government really does so, then there'll be many "Singapore" in those big countries liao...
2. Thailand, have many adult entertainment centres. Joo Chiat and Geylang keep getting raided by police makes you sick.
>> That's why Thailand has a high significant figure of HIVs and AIDS cases and death....
3. Most other countires make fun of their political leaders but in Singapore you do that you go bankrupt... boring.
>> u prefer your political leaders to be make fun of by other ppl, worse still, by their own ppl? Or you prefer a stable, firm n mature government? What do you think of Chen Shui Bian when their ppl make fun of him? As an outsider/foreigner, though i might find it an entertainment, but then i see him no up...cannot make it....same goes for Bush...etc...
4. Singaporeans have no free time.... in other countries, people do not need to work so hard because they are taken care of by the state and it is not so expensive.
>>>Try comparing with Japan.....
5. Censorship galore here.... boring
>> Have to censor...arbo in the next 10~20yrs, there'll be alot of rape/molest/murder cases in SPore liao...
6. nothing better to do than to come to sgforums.... yipes!
>> Imagine those countries that don't have internet... -
Maybe one day if got chance, you try going to Aussie....apparently 80~90% of their shops closed ard 5pm if not 6pm....except for their 24hrs supermarkets....Originally posted by browniebaobao:
