Singapore

Mum sent me this email. Dedication to my sporean frens, since Aug 9th is Spore's National Day. =) Happy National Day, buddies... argh.. missing all my frens from back home *sobz*

"In Singapore, the majority of us live in Highly Dangerous Buildings(HDB),
And most people have already got used to Paying and Paying( PAP).
Not only do you have to pay, you Pay Until Bankrupt(PUB).
If that's not enough, somebody still Purposely Wants to Dig(PWD)and get more from you.

So what more can you do when you are in the Money Only Environment(MOE)?
With the current Mad Accounting System(MAS),
you are forced to Pay the Sum Ahead(PSA),
Which will leave some people Permanently Owing Some Banks(POSB).
And forced to live on the Loan Techniques Always(LTA) system.
When you fall sick and happen to be admitted to a Money Operating Hospital( MOH),

You might be able to use your Cash Prior to Funeral(CPF)fund.
If you are out of luck, you may meet doctors who Never Use Heart (NUH) to treat you,
And you will be Sure to Give up Hope(SGH).

To help ease the traffic, motorists have to pay Cash On Expressway(COE).
If that doesn't help, they can always Eternally Raise Prices(ERP)on the roads.
If you don't own a car, you can always make a Mad Rush to the Train (MRT),
OR get squashed in a bus Side By Side(SBS).

Lastly, under all these pressures, there are not many places we can
relax, not even the good old place we used to go because it has become
So Expensive and Nothing To See Actually (SENTOSA)!!! "

Quite interesting hor? Sorry for those who haven't been to Spore, u most prob won't get the joke.. but it's basically legitimate abbreviations used in the country that has been replaced by super funny description..
