Yes, all my Singaporean friends agree with that. |
Too competitive, too restrictive and too overcrowded.
But I do feel that standard of living does not fall behind Singapore, in fact, even better. |
Standard of living in sg is one of the highest in the world liao la, life's pretty good here compared to most countries..
But if u like a peaceful, stressfree life, i think aussie or NZ may be the place for u, not to mention u can buy a brand new 3 series for the price of a toyota vios here.  |

Come to Sydney or Melbourne, Perth is so remote that nobody really cares if it exist or not. Same goes with New Zealand. |

People are far too peaceful and relaxing here, if you want something to be fixed, you have to wait for ever and pay a lot, if you want to call the police, you have to wait forever. The public transport system in Sydney is extremely bad, I can spend 20 to 30 min waiting for a bus or a train, that is if they come on time.
On the positive side, the living environment is fantastic, lots of space to move around and relax. |

No matter what, many Singaporeans still go migrate there every year and most of them never come back.
Yesterday talked to an elderly man over the phone during work. He says he is joining his son to migrate to Australia soon, hence wants to sell all his investments. So envious.

Ask everyone in your RC team to join the race, then the race can go on...

@ cwchua7 - thanks bro! 
@ reventon - at the moment, got the efs10-22mm USM, efs17-55 f2.8IS USM, ef70-200f4L and a sigma 30mm f1.4 . . . think i don't need anything else already (for now ) . . . i love my 10-22 and 17-55 f2.8, that's why i'm not upgrading to fullframe
@ qks57 - ya, my thigh also kenna burn . . . haha!
@ HeXy - sold to a friend already, you were too late! . . . nope, it's not a replacement (there's the 5dmk2 as a replacement) . . . it's a totally new series, i'd almost as good as the 5dmk2 - but not full frame . . . went out for some nite shots just now . . . the noise control is really awesome  but still loses out to the 5dmk2 by a bit . . . usable shots @ iso 4000! . . . oh, and the HD video is damn cool! . . . able to do 60fps @ 720p, can do slow motion vids
