Wandering.....

One might wondering that why i'm following Singapore news so often,since i'm not living in Southern part of Malaysia,like Malacca and Johor.Yes,i'm not,and i'm living in northern part by the way,in Kedah,which closer to Thailand than Singapore.

but i used to stayed in Johor Bahru(Phua Chu Kang likes to call it JB,so did others)during my childhood,not for long period,but like 2 or 3 weeks,usually,staying in a terrace where my dad rented during his Singapore days.so what is the factor making me behave like southerners,or maybe Singaporean itself?

My parents used to be worked in Lion city for about 10 years before i was given birth,and there's where they knew each other,they love each other,and they tied the knots together<3

And i think this is something that really influenced me a lot..from Ang Mo Kio,to Toa Payoh,and Chua Chu Kang.Back on their working days,they were required to sing'Majulah Singapura'(Singapore National Anthem,for those of you who don't know)on the assembly in every morning.regardless who you are,and where you from,that means my parents,who are pure Malaysian,had to sing as well.

And my mum and dad went back to here in Malaysia,after having a pregnant for 1st month.I think they cant give birth to me there,otherwise,it would be my parents are Malaysian,and i'm Singaporean,and of course there will be a lot of trouble(they cant be granted Singaporean citizenship since they have no PRs,which made the prerequisite for citizenship).

Like I said,that really influenced me a lot,i know how to sing Majulah,like a Singaporean,i watched Singaporean news like Johoreans do.In recent years,Singaporean government has tightened the citizenship which makes it harder for everyone(i'm not sure bout this though,but this is what i heard,from somewhere)those who had been granted PR previously,must converting it into NRIC,which makes them Singaporean,by legal,and those who didn't,will lose their chances of even granting PRs,forever.


P/S:i have no intention to change my citizenship to any countries,including Singapore,PRs will do.Life there isnt easy at all,and you're working 24/7,literally.
