"annoymous" commented on my previous post,

(i had wanted to reply through the commentry system but i thought this would do nicely as a post instead.)

this is what he/she said

"why be bothered about something that shouldn't be bothering you? singapore ain't worth your time dude "

please dont get me wrong. i really cant be that bothered about singapore. although i was borned and raised here, i have about as much attachment to this country as oil is to a teflon-coated pan.

what i *AM* bothered about is the fact that most singaporeans think that singapore's identity only started 40 years back (hence, 40th birthday), when this place actually has over 180 years of both colonial and post-independance history.

the crux of the matter is, we're not 40 years old, we're 186 years old and i'm just being a accuracy nazi.

context people! context!
