Dilemma

I know I said "more tomorrow" on the previous post and it's one week later. However, I have been facing a dilemma and am not quite sure what to do. My dilemma is about the direction of this blog... Initially when I started this blog, it was to describe our experiences moving back here. The blog was definitely wonderful in helping us during the time of Shasta's demise. We have been back here almost 6 months and there is very little to write about 'cos... it's Singapore... no one breaks laws here... everything is so damn orderly... there are no controversies ('cos if you start one, they throw you in a "detention center" without trial)... there is basically nothing happening here. 

Jessica goes to work. I stay at home looking for work... that's what happens.

I have always wanted to write about 2 things:

(1) do food reviews

(2) comment about this country without fear of being put away

Obviously, (1) is a much safer bet... LOL! 

However, (2) is definitely much more exciting. And I do think I am "qualified" to do (2) having lived in a country that is a PURE democracy for almost 19 years. 

A few days ago, I had dinner with a friend and some his friends and, during dinner, I discovered that there are actually a few people blogging about this country. Some of them say pretty outrageous stuff on their blogs. I have to do further research about this. I'm not too convinced that they actually reside here, even though the person who told us about it says they do. I actually think they might be Singaporeans residing abroad and have no fear about what they blog about catching up with them. They probably actually live in a PURE democracy where there is freedom of speech and that freedom is actually honored and celebrated. 

So, that's my dilemma. 

But in my dilemma, another thing also arises. If I start blogging about this country, those of you who are not from here and don't ever plan to come live in this WONDERFUL country (bleahhh... finger in mouth)... might find it uninteresting. I would love to make it interesting for everyone, but the more interesting it becomes, the higher the likelihood I will be locked up forever... so, I think I might take a few more days to think about it. I might actually start it while I am sitting in the safety of SF... ha! that's an idea!!
