The past 2 days have been not bad for me. Last night, I went out with my OCS platoon mates to catch a movie. There was Barry, Mark P, Luke and his twin brother Mark. We caught the movie "Across the Universe" in cineliesure at 2310. It was a late night show and we ran out of options on what movie to watch. In the end, we were kind of left with only one choice.
To be honest, I was kind of skeptical as to how good the movie was. There was no trailer about it, and it wasn't as popular as compared to the big hits like The Golden Compass, National Treasure 2 and Warlords. Much to my surprise, the movie was very good and I mean VERY GOOD. It was more like a musical kind of thing. The director of the movie incorporated many Beatles songs to create this very intricate story about love, passion and dreams. It was a very refreshing experience. I strongly recommend this movie. The bunch of us who watched it were really impressed with the movie, especially Luke. The movie was like made for him... haha
Then come today. Today was a very busy day as I went rushing between CMPB and ICA. I had to settle concurrently my citizenship and visa for Thailand. I thought the whole thing would be very messy but much to my surprise, the whole thing went very smoothly. I started out by going CMPB to collect my blue ic, then I rushed down to ICA to do my sitizenship registration, followed by going down to the 5th floor to settle my Certificate of Identity for Thailand. I then rushed back to CMPB to collect back my 11B which I exchanged for my ic. I then went on to pass the Certificate of Identity to CMPB for visa application. I was surprised that it only took me from 0830 to 1234 to complete the whole process. I even applied for my passport. In Malaysia, just the passport itself will take from morning till late in the afternoon. I am so proud of Singapore. The efficiency is there. Everything was so crystal clear and simple. I really think that Singaporeans should be proud to have one of the most efficient govermental service in the world. It is really rare...
From today onwards, I will be known as a Singaporean. I am proud of it because Singapore gave me so much. Indeed, I feel so honoured...
