Geography Assignment - My Place :)

Which place has special childhood memories?
It would be where I grew up, which is my current home. When I was young, my cousins would all come over to my house every weekend to play. Sometimes, they would sleep over too. We spend a lot of time together and thus, we all have a very strong bond with each other.

In which place do you feel most at home?
I feel most at home in Singapore. I'm a Singaporean, after all. Singapore is a wonderful country. We have everything whenever we need them. We have 24 hours coffee shops and Mcdonalds everywhere. If we're hungry, we could always drive out for a meal to fill our stomach. I feel very comfortable in Singapore.

Which place for you do you like most?
I like my home the most. It is where I am everyday! It has everything I need. A bed, television, computer, and most importantly, warmth and love.

Which place gives you most hope about the future?
I think Singapore gives me most hope about the future. Reason is that Singapore is where I am born and where I grew up. But if I have no hope in Singapore, I would consider migrating somewhere else. Nevertheless, Singapore is still my first choice!

Which place would you like to re-visit?
I would love to re-visit Anderson Primary School. It's a school I've been to for six years, receiving education from the most dedicated teachers I can ever find. Anderson Primary School has taught me a lot of life's values and it is also my second home. I grew up in Anderson Primary School and I would like to re-visit the school to re-live the faded memories.

Which book/poem/song etc conveys to you a strong sense of place?
I think the National Day song sung by Kit Chan in 2007, There's No Place I'd Rather Be conveys to me a strong sense of place. This song tells me that wherever we go, Singapore would always be a part of me.

Which town or city have you most enjoyed being in?

I enjoy being in United States of America, most importantly Los Angeles! I enjoy being there because it is filled with fun and shopping! The last time I went there, Disneyland was just a walking distance from the hotel. So we went to Disneyland twice! The Disneyland is very big, and very spacious. You see happy people there smiling from ear-to-ear! Even if you're feeling moody, your spirits would be lifted cause of all the fun Disneyland brings you. The shopping there is awesome as there are shops you might not find in Singapore. Shopping makes me happy and thus, Los Angeles is my choice!
