Because after WWII, and after we got independent, the government became a bit kiasi, (Scared to die. I mean scared as in really scared, excessively scared.) as the Brits who were supposed to protect us during WWII were beaten so easily. And also, since Singapore has only four million people, if we can't just rely on our full-time army, which is about 1-2 division size, I think. We got about another 3 National Service divs. I think. And we're also surrounded by Muslim countries who discriminate and have started racial riots against the Chinese, which make up the mainstay of Singapore's population. I'm sure there are many more good reasons, that I haven't thought of.

Wow, that's like... the second nice thing I've heard about Singapore since we hanged that Aussie drug smuggler. And I'm doing Singaporean maths too! What a coincidence.

Sounds sweet, I won't be there. First: You all would probably burn me at the stake for...various reasons. Second: I live in Florida. While it's a bit closer, it's still an uncomfortably far trip to Washington.
I know, the years are creeping me out. I can clearly remember filling out paper work with my mom and saying, "wow. I'm graduating in 2008? that's..." *put finger counting here* "more years away then I've been alive already. Whoaa." and now it's like..." '08. Wait...that's only in two years!!! AAAAAUUUUUGGGHHH!!!! I'M NOT READY FOR THIS!!!"
