I am Singaporean!

My mother tongue was Mandarin, I didn't speak a word of English till I was in primary one.
Now, I read only English stuffs and can't write a decent sentence in Mandarin.
I try to speak good English, but I hate ang mo accent.
I never did understand why I can't buy chewing gum.
I take the MRT, when I can squeeze in.
I'm told to study hard all my life for a better future, now I feel I should have played more.
Everyone says study Poly good to find job, but after Poly still the same.
Every month 20% of my pay goes to CPF, for my own good.
I whined a lot during NS; but I never "gian" ok.
I hate reservist, but I never defer.
I'm a solider, but I have never fought in a war.
I do not smoke, but even if I do, there are not many places where I can.
I don't have to worry about no water coming out of my tap, but I must be careful about the water breeding mosquitos.
My parents voted for the first time in their life at the last election, so I guess I petty lucky I waited for only 24 years.
I love my flag, although I seldom see it around.
I am a Chinese, but my best friend is a Malay, and I think Indian girls are cute.

I am Yuen Ming De.

I am a Singaporean.

So say we all.
