This entry is titled 3D not because something will pop out (not talking about The Ring) of your screen but 3D just sounds so "in". 3D here, 3D there. So I assume that anything which has a 3 should include a D too. Makes sense?
Six weeks came and went in a swift. However, I felt that the
time spent wearing army fatigues in Australia was much more fulfilling than
boring Singapore. I got to know more people and know them better. In short,
there is no doubt many positives that made my stay there worthwhile.
Let's skip all the way to my final 2 days where I had my ETP
(end of tour package). To summarize things, everything about it except the
buffet meals sucks. I swear I gained a substantial amount of weight after
having five buffets in a span of 36 hours. If you know me, you would know that
I'm not the kind who only goes for a single round, so are Singaporeans.
At every buffet, you will get to witness authentic
Singaporean style from Singaporeans when there are freebies in front of them.
The Singapore style that I am referring to is not just about taking a lot but
taking a lot and not considering whether you can finish everything.
It is common at every meal to see the ang moh staff giving
surprised expressions while we Singaporeans take our time to overload our
plates. This applies to the drinks as well, we check out all kinds of coffee
and tea available and leave a mess behind.
In my opinion, the biggest and most conspicuous difference
between Singapore and Australia is not the amount of obese people (although
that's quite obvious too) but the customer experience which both countries
provide.
In Australia, the ang mohs as well as the ang moh pai Asians
will greet you with sincerity and attempt to make small talk throughout your
time inside. Move over to Singapore and you'll perhaps get some China woman who
will stare at you thinking that it's just another passer-by.
Singapore shoppers are more of people who walk into a shop
and take something from it in exchange of money. Australia shoppers are
customers who contribute to a business by purchasing a good or service from it.
I don't deny that I felt a little uneasy as a customer when I first returned to
Singapore.
Oh yeah, enough of all the crap, where are the pictures you
might ask. I shall start spamming them from here. Hope you take some time to
scroll the page down. Remember, patience is a virtue.

Now I know where the word coward comes from. These guys started fleeing when I took out the camera.
Wasted 20 minutes of my life making this. I could have done something more constructive like sleeping.
Water lah, what else you thought I'd write? The sea is SO CLEAR or I LOVE the ocean?
Jellyfish. Dead. Not I kill. Its corpse looks beautiful
The resort where we lived at during ETP.
Yes yes, this is how our accomodation in camp looks like.
You can't see my eyes.
I shall call this the Australian bird hairstyle.
Flying back to Singapore on SIA for the first time!!! Sua Ku to the max!!! I don't understand why can't they include spaces in my name
