Met up with my two uni classmates today at Chinatown. Hee, you must be wondering what's available at Chinatown besides doing annual shopping during CNY.
Well... i had a pleasant surprise. We had dinner at an 'old-style' coffeeshop at Keong Saik Road. The kopi was really thick... and i mean it. I forgot the name of the coffeeshop, but i can bring you there if you like "gao" kopi without the need to shout "kopi gao". After dinner, we went to a nearby lifestyle cafe "Whatever" along the same road. Hey, it's a really nice place with nice ambience. It is a new age cafe, bookstore and healing centre.. You will just unwind the tense muscles after a busy workday when you step in there. I had 'organic root beer'. If you are wondering how is this place like and how does an organic root beer taste like... Check it out http://www.whatever.com.sg/!
While walking back home, the 3 of us were debating if meritocracy is still needed in this capitalistic society. What do you think? Would you choose to stay in a socialist or a captalistic society? Hee, i leave the answer to you.
Cheers!

Live in Laos, Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba or the former Soviet Union? Not for me.
Surely, with all the history of failed socialist states, there can't be a comparison?
China's an exception. It progressed well, but that, only because of its huge resources, and the fact that it deviates from socialist principles anyway.
The choice, for me, is clear.
