A-B-C

Read about Zewt's entry, about how inefficient of our system is back home. Makes me wonder... which place I would like to stay as citizen, IF given a choice of:

A) A land that is famous for inefficient system, lousy government system (ranging from education that send stupid kids to overseas and leave intelligent ones at local U but without the first choice degree they wanted sometimes even though they can be ALL-A's students, after-death-money-goes-which-pocket, kissing-scene-cut in cinema until u dunno what's going on with the real story, income-tax that says will debit the money back to us if we pay more but I haven't received the cheque yet until now and dunno if they have accessed my file or not??? etc, etc, etc, etc, etc... BUT you have your great friends who grow up together with you, and all the great great great food on earth that you cannot get elsewhere.

B) A land that is full of cigarette-air-pollution, people's fresh spit on the road, people talking so loudly you thought they were arguing but they just merely in the "apa khabar" mode, lousy system every where including no line up at ANY where, quality control leakage in MOST of the thing u can think of including fake oranges or fake eggs or fake electronic model that can have Samsung name in taobao but when u get it is actually papa brand stuff and Taobao got the guts say they cannot do anything and consumer should be verifying the stuff before doing the transaction, no quality of service EVERY where coz there's no tips system, no l eng-chai everywhere coz they look very yong-sui without proper daily bath, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc BUT you get good job & good pay here.

C) A land that has great quality of life, great mountain, great air, great shopping road, great clean road with spit-free environment, great restaurant with NON-smoking area, great bridge, great park, great transportation system, great car price, BUT, this land is with limited working opportunity.

I am having this A-B-C thoughts a lot lately... SIGH... nothing is perfect. But some lands are just way toooo far from perfect eh?

As for B, i won't be happy in a place with the environment i don't like...dirty places, rude people, loud people and places where there are too many cheenas...

Fern, You just become my zi-gei!!!(best fren!) Hahahahaa... we have the same "frequency" la! BTW, u said gonna come shanghai play with us, when huh??

Zewt, agree.. but.. if you have good job now, it is quite difficult to live without a good job... that's the part I have to balance, a not very good job with great quality of life, vs. a good job with lousy quality of life.

bleah.

Land C sounds good but I have a friend who is married to a person from land C but they live in land A.
They might return to land C as it is easy to get PR but jobs would be difficult for my friend.
But they have been living in land A for the past 12 years.
