  About Schumi, but nothing compares - and surpasses - the desperate lunge he attempted on Villeneuve back in '97. Throw in the occasion, the prize at stake and the fact a two-time(then) world champion was that desperate to resort to such means, you get just about the perfect epitome of everything wrong with people who have scaled the highest pinnacles in their profession.
  
  Even taking his unscrupulous demeanour aside, while he is no doubt a very consistent driver, I'm not one to live for mechanical, predictable drivers - that explains why I've never quite fancied the Piquets, Prosts and Schumachers and would gladly watch a Senna or Hakkinen at their best.

  apologise for the OOT again, but when i was in sg, it used to cost me S$15?
  
  and yea i totally agree with what u say about MS.

  Not so easy right? with family and all. also you might want to marry somebody like yourself, while having no problem associating with different others.

  i am not as attached to family as most asian families typically are. As long as i can visit them once a year, I have no problems. I also don't intend to marry, possibly.

  You sound like a Buddhist... no attachments.
  
  Just joking.
  
  So it is easier for you then the average Sinagporean. Do you think that on principle, people should spend a part of their lives sampling some other cultures in another country?

  Don't have to be so PC right? Has living overseas enriched you in a way that living in Singapore could never have?
  
  BTW Buddhists are very tolerant. Buddha even ask them to discard his teaching if it is not helpful to them. How more self assured can a religious founder be?

  i would say my opening up of my mind to a different social idea begin in Sg. why and how, I don't know. Perhaps its because the education system had a backlash effect on me, instead of the desired effect of creating another mindless clone.
  
  I've always been quite liberal-minded, and been able to embrace new ways of thinking, so that is probably why towards the end I no longer wanted to live within a society whose ideas are too obselete that I did not agree with anymore.

  no i would not call it that. i am already somewhat "like that" so i end up elsewhere, and that further reinforces my being "like that" so that i become even more "like that"
  
  oh for the want of a better descriptive phrase

  So you end up in the first world... have you ever thought of living in the 3rd or 4th world for a spell? I note you thought of Germany, so from Sg to 1st world (UK) to another 1st world.

  after being in UK, i wouldn't consider Sg 1st world.
  
  as for 3rd and 4th world, that would depend on my future plans. personally since my desire is to work in the motorsports industry, i don't see how that might fit in with my plans.
  
  I do know what I want in life, so theres no need to try to disuade me otherwise.

  As long as you're happy, nobody here have the right to comment on your chosen way of life.
  
  IF you're not happy about your chosen way of life, then maybe it's time for you to eliminate the doubtful lifestyle and correct it to a happier one at your own discretion.
  
  Good luck.

  I said from Sg to 1st world, I did not say Sg 1st world... just to clarify. In many ways 3rd world countries more 1st world then Sg.
  
  I mean take a break from what you want to do for the rest of your life....

  I told you that you are very Buddhist....
  
  How to achieve enlightenment? By not trying to achieve enlightenment.
  
  How to work without working? By doing something you truly enjoy.

  Irony or not I am telling you like it is.
  
  Buddhism is about deflection; so you do not become attach to it and suffer.
  
  How does one become rich without suffering? By not trying to become rich but becoming good at what you do.
  
  How does one become good at what one does without suffering? By doing what one loves to do.
  
  That is so you and that is so Buddhist.

  but i am attached to material possessions.

  OK attached to material possesions is not very Buddhist but "smart to get rich doing something u like, and being good at it" is.
