well, like everyone says, living in Singapore is hectic. the standard of living in Singapore is also high. in Singapore, no certificate means no job. everyone has high expectations. even your neighbours will ask how am i doin with my studies and what do i want to do when i grow up.
although Singapore is small, it is quite fun to be in. say orchard road? and maybe you can scream your lungs out at Escape or stay overnight at chalet? my friends and i will go out quite often and the places we always visit dont bore us. hee. 
i have no sig. =P

It really depends on how you define 'tough'... Having to starve and live off scraps in Ethopia is tough. Having to survive in a dog-eat-dog world is also tough. Students will feel that having exams are tough. Parents will think that raising kids is tough.
I'm not making sense. :runnynose:
I think life in SG isn't really considered tough. Most of us have to slog out most of our lifetimes, but we have shelter, we are living in a disaster-free zone, we have support from people around us even when there're problems, we're mostly educated and if not, at least literate. Stress levels are high, but there're ways to conquer that. Some people take off-days for a short getaway, or go spa, or exercise it out, or listen to soothing music, etc.
So generally, it's difficult living in SG but I wouldn't consider it tough.

Being living in this 'fine' city, the tempo is quite high. We not just compete with ourselves and also with foreigners. As compared to other countries, we can consider lucky.
As long you worked hard, you can survive! | |

i agree is how u define the word 'tough'... it really depends on how you see life.. I believe everywhere u live there are deemed to be problems, stress and other things.. the only place ur dun have problem is when u r lying in ur coffin...
if u see problem as a challenge rather than problem itself.. then i think anywhere u go.. nothing will be tough. so start to see things from another perspective.. then slowly the word 'tough' will not be in ur dictionary

now that the GST is rising. the working population will be taxed more. so, we have to really work harder now. isn't it stressful for the lower-income group?

yes. very tough. almost cannot breath. i wonder how the japanese in their country survive.
the pace is too fast in sg. when i went to thailand for holiday, can feel very different... very relax, no pressure.
eg. in sg, u have to quickly rush through your lunch. 10mins to eat. but in thailand, eat 1 hour u also wont feel like u need to rush.
第一次见你, 天上下着小雨
你站在雨里, 眼神有多迷离
第二次见你, 是否上天注定
寂寞的眼里, 就有了一个你
深夜里, 用你的气息, 陪着我倾听爱的声音~
因为爱上你, 我才懂得珍惜
每一天日记, 都写满了甜蜜
因为想念你, 我每天都可以~
对着镜子说我多爱你, 有多想见到你~
