However, I can safely say that is not the case with my family. I can safely say we are a close-knit, quirky bunch. I am just as close to my extended family as my nucleus family. In fact, as an example of our sturdy bond, my entire extended family gets together at my grandmother's house every weekend to catch up with one another. So, family occasions are not significant events in my life. They were in fact, a norm for me- something I would do as regularly as brushing my teeth at night. However, there is one family occasion I hold close to my heart. It was a birthday, and not just any birthday, but the 13th birthday of my cousin. Who was my confidant, little brother and my best friend...]]> 2022-09-20 06:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304351299 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304351341 The saying ‘The best things in life are free’ is one that resonates with me deeply. As im not from a rich family, i had to give and take between having things that i wanted. Luckily the things i treasure most in life are mostly at no cost. Whether its something as simple as living and breathing to playing matches with my team mates during CCA. To me, the saying stays true to my choices in life. ]]> 2022-09-20 06:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304351341 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304351686 Reaching an important milestone in life is an occasion that would be something that everyone would treasure in life. Something even better than this, would be to reach a milestone together with a person you love. Just 3 years ago, my grandparents reached this milestone together. Their 60th anniversary. Even a 10th anniversary is something that couples would celebrate, and here they were, together on their 60th anniversary. A milestone like that called for a huge celebration, and countless people were invited. That day is still as fresh ever in my mind, everyone having a great time, and most importantly, my grandparents looking happier than ever together.]]> 2022-09-20 06:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304351686 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304351687 Have you even attended a wedding before? I have and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. The wedding of my aunt in 2018 showed me the beauty of traditional weddings in India and how a wedding was more than a connection between two people, but two families. The three days of ceremonies and the wedding day was my first time attending an Indian wedding and the experience will forever be ingrained in my memory.]]> 2022-09-20 06:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304351687 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304351736 19.1 million is a massive number, and that is how many visitors Singapore welcomed in 2019 before it was hit by the pandemic. For a small city, roping in such a colossal number of tourists is a very outstanding feat.

Money has always been extremely valuable in society. Thus, the high value of the free things in our daily lives are often overlooked.

Despite me not knowing them personally, admittedly they have the greatest influence on my life at the moment. This person is none other than the infamous influencer, by the username of "Tank Fish". They do not call them influencers for nothing, I constantly find myself drawn to his content on Youtube, he has influenced my views on certain topics and brought me joy and many laughs. It may not be a good thing that the greatest influence in my life is a Youtuber, but I have to admit that I spend much of my time watching his channel and gaming videos. The content is hilarious and I find myself applying references from his videos. To me, he is currently the biggest influence in my life as I spend majority of it watching his videos and laughing along.]]> 2022-09-20 06:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304352616 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304352696 As Taylor Swift once sang, "The best people in life are free." This is a quote that I firmly believe applies not only to people, but to things as well. Contrary to popular opinion, the things that make us the happiest need not be the most expensive. Some occasions where I have found that best things in life are free are when spending time with my loved ones, being around nature and exercising.]]> 2022-09-20 06:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304352696 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304353133 My mother has the greatest influence on my life. She always has taught me important values that I apply to my life on a day to day basis. I believe in the words that life does not come with a manual but comes with a mom. My mother has been a full-time housewife. You may think what there is special about that. She takes the effort to prepare us meals, do the household chores, take care of the weekly grocery shopping and even the monthly expenses. However, she is not recognized for any of these. My mother has always been a role model as to how I should become in the future. She has always been there for me in my highs and low. Her persistent encouragement and the allowance of freedom to pursue my hopes and dreams is what I appreciate the most. There are certain things she taught me that paved me to become the better person I am to today. She might not have taught me everything but I learn from watching her.]]> 2022-09-20 06:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304353133 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304353178 Singapore is known worldwide for many reasons. These include its title as a “Garden City”, one of the smartest countries in the world and more. However, these are not the major features tourists would come to Singapore for. The features that are a major tourist attraction in Singapore are Marina Bay Sands and Changi Airport. People from different countries also come to Singapore because of its citizens. Singapore is well known to be a multi-racial country,so people globally would come to Singapore to learn more about its culture and people.

Marina Bay Sands (MBS) is a famous building here in Singapore which attracts many tourists. MBS is known for its luxurious goods and services and the casino. Tourists like to come to MBS to do shopping at expensive brands such as Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Furthermore, the delicacies available are also costly, for example TWG Teahouse and Bacha Coffee. Tourists enjoy coming to MBS, especially since MBS provides staycation services and the view looks over to the sea or The Central Business District(CBD).]]> 2022-09-20 06:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304353178 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304353336 Singapore, known as a garden city all around the world, famous for its large amount of greenery everywhere and anywhere, no matter the place. Of course, with every country comes the numerous attractions, and Singapore is no exception. the kampong spirit is something known to everyone in this tiny red dot. with the attractiveness of Singapore as a country, I think Singapore is a major tourist attraction due to being known as a green city, the numerous attractions, and the kampong spirit here in Singapore. 

singapore is known worldwide for being a garden city. no matter the place you are, on the roads or walking along the streets, trees and plants surround you, leaving one always being able to see flora and fauna no matter the place. with attractions like gardens by the bay and marina bay sands, one is able to see the beauty in nature, see this in person. At gardens by the bay, there are many exhibits and places for one to experience being surrounded by nature. with places like the flower dome and cloud forest, one can see the beauty of nature more in depth, see this for themselves up close and embrace themselves into the flora and fauna. ]]> 2022-09-20 06:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304353336 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304353721 Tears hit my eyes as I gingerly held the polaroid photo.

The relatively small country has managed to attract millions of people from around the world not just for business, but for tourism as well. How has Singapore managed to do so? Singapore’s idea of a city in a garden has widely attracted many to come and visit the modern first-world country with a variety of flora and fauna. Not only that, Singapore has limited land, but still manage to retain old cultural-heritage buildings while building new, modern and sophisticated building for urbanization. This is quite a feat for a small, land limited country, contributing to Singapore becoming a major tourist attraction all over the world.

However, there is someone who has had the greatest impact on my life. She is not only always looking out for me but has also taught me many important values which come in handy in my daily life. She is none other than my mother. I can recall many times when I am making a decision and I would think of what she would say and how she would feel if I made that decision.

However, there are a plethora of things that are free which hold more meaning than materialistic things. Take love as an example, no amount of money could ever replace the love and care we share with one another. It allows us to forge new friendships with each other, and this does not have a price on it. The joy and happiness that such things bring cannot be bought using money.

Money? The newest phone model that we got for our birthday present? Or is it the people around us whom we care for and love dearly? Whatever it is, there is this idea that has been drilled into our minds that if we want to achieve or get something, there must be a sacrifice. Whether it is to pay money for it, or making time to get something done, something needs to go before we can get what we want. But what are the best things in life?

Although the Singaporean country is marked by a little red dot in the world map, we are ranked as a nation with one of the lowest crime rates across the globe. A unique city with people from different cultural and religious backgrounds, Singapore is one of the very few countries with more than one national language and here, all differences are acknowledged and appreciated.

Only when you visit this island, do you discover the features of Singapore that attracts tourists from all around the world. That includes its delicious foods, beautiful and attractive landmarks, as well as the kind-hearted, multiracial community unique to Singapore. 

Singaporeans really love their food, and so do the millions of tourists who stream in every year. Some classics include chicken rice, Nasi Lemak, Satay, Rojak. Due to the multiracial community in Singapore, foods that are from different countries find their way here. Besides a wide variety of food from countries like China, Malaysia that made their way here, fusion foods are not hard to come by on this little island. The laksa burger, squid ink mantou, and many mind-blowing creations can be found here. Being able to offer a wide range of delicacies is one of the reasons why tourists flood this little island.

While many agree with this statement, others disagree, claiming that happiness can be found in the power to buy all the heart's desires. Personally, I feel that true happiness lies in our accomplishments, experiences, and memories we make with our loved ones. Such things cannot be bought, making them unique to everyone and hence of great value. ]]> 2022-09-20 06:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304363796 https://padlet.com/kohpchou/ij6a85rg4x4m/wish/2304363912 Singapore has always been well known as a countries with major tourist attraction that is able to captivate tourist from all over the world. What is the main reason for this? Is it due to the wide variety of food available in Singapore? Or is it due to the many iconic buildings in Singapore like Marina Bay Sands and Esplanade.

However, when I think more deeply into it, the best things in life are not things that money can buy, but rather the little things we sometimes take for granted. The new experiences, places we visit and most importantly, the people we hold dear in life are things that cannot be bought or replaced with, such as the priceless relationship I share with my family and the precious memories I hold of them. Therefore, the phrase, "The best things in life are free" greatly resonates with me.
