10 to 12 years ago......

The following taken from Sammyboy's Alfresco Coffee Shop in Delphi Forums :
I dont see the trains packed like mad
I dont see china men and china women in the streets so rampantly
It was only 2 dollars for a bowl of noodles; it's almost 4 bucks now
Cars are not that many to the point it would make you tear your hair out
Mrt suicides are unheard of
Almost no can collectors or tissue sellers.
Many hang flags on national day.
People gave chase whenever someone shout robber or molester,
now people just hide and watch...whip out their mobilephones, video it and post it on Youtube and Stomp.
En blocs are extremely rare
DAnce music rule. Black hiphop in infancy
Malaysia safe enough for the lonesome traveller
SAF swore by the M16. reservist is a whooping 13-yr cycle
World Cup, european cups & other major games free on ch 5
StarBUx, coffeebean only about to take off. Kopi O was 50c
CyberSex & internet related crimes are like the en-blocs
Homemade pornos not even in existence!
Gays in closet!
No GST
COE so low
Mini-thers salaries < S$ 500K annually
No much FTs
No MM
Temasick still profitable
Smaller GRC bountries
No ERP
Hawker food < S$ 2
No Geyland mei-mei
No durian buildings
No 7 wonders ( Buildings ) in Sin-ka-pore
One can still look forward to retirement at 55
A simple hawker fare will only cost $3 the least including drinks
Ppl still give each other lunch treats with smiling faces can't say the same NOW !!!
Dating was such a pleasurable experience and very easy on the pocket,
buying toys for kids was not so stressful, you have the luxury to pamper yourself by falling ill now and then
Ppl are friendlier cos they were less stressful
We look like 18yo when we were at the age of 30, now we look like 60 yo man at the age of 40.
We never heard of people dying suddently while jogging or playing soccer. Now people even die suddently in their sleep for no reason.
I was able to control my finance, and now the government control ours.
I was able to make plan for my future, but now the government took all of it away from me.
We pledge ourseleves as one united nation irregardless of race, age, language or religion, but now we have elitist remarks, poor and rich divide and age discrimination in the job market.
I wanted to shake hand with minithers but now I want to punch them in their face.
15 years ago, Singaporean IT people enjoy good salary with job security. Nowadays, freaking Indian FTs with dubious IT qualifications are displacing Singaporeans and dampening IT salary. For them, just getting $1800 to get an S pass will suffice. They have 4 indians gangbanging themselves in a room and only eat vegetables. Singaporeans how to fight?

what he said is a rather true reflection of our current society. Gone are the days where I can confidently say a stranger I met on the road is a Singaporean.
Nowadays, the current trend when meeting a new friend/stranger is "Are u Singaporean?" or "Are u from China?" -
Things always change...
Although some of the things in the past seems better, some of the things in the present are also better. -
