Yes, we're a small isle floating over the vast oceans. But good things come in small packages, haha! We've become a closely knit family who has grown together over the years. How often can we say hi to a friend whom we happen to meet by coincidence while walking down orchard road?

So what is it we like about Singapore? Is it the elysian food we have, or our hardworking people? The great shopping or the laudable cleanliness we enjoy? Or our very own unique brand of English - Singlish? We'd be living here for many years to come, so why not take some pride in what our country's good for?

We had a poll on our blog where people voted for what they liked most in Singapore. Here are the results!

Looks like our Singaporeans really like the food here. Well, the next time we go to the food court or some of our favourite food outlets, lets spare a thought of appreciation for the marvelous food we can enjoy. I remember the time when we went on a school trip to Europe that lasted a fortnight. We were all craving for Singapore food by the 10th day, lol.

People-wise? Yeah Singapore is a cosmopolitan city that boasts a variety of races and religions. Add these different cultures together, and polishing up every ‘imperfections’ has resulted in the making of the ultimate, unique and ‘perfect’ Singapore culture LOR.

Yeah LAR, Singlish is what makes us special and in addition this Singaporean accent has attained world-class attention and accolade. Despite the grammatical flaws, there have been foreigners who have commented that Singlish is ‘sexy’ and ‘cool’. You decide. Shopping is so-so only. There are way more attractive places to shop elsewhere. Singapore is obviously a clean country. Though many would claim that cleanliness in Singapore has been overrated, it is because they have compared it against utopian standards. To me, uniqueness would be the most important factor in deciding my favourite.. and that would be Singlish LAH! ---By a 20 year-old NSF
Some random thoughts? In the order i like: food, ease of transportation (added this in herself), shopping, cleanliness. Food because there is a wide variety to choose from since we are a multi-racial country. Food is relatively affordable unless you choose to dine at air conditioned places all the time (which is hard not to because s'pore is so humid, haha!) improvements in the mrt network really make traveling much less troublesome. Shopping is decent here in Singapore. Cleanliness is overall good especially when compared to our neighbouring countries. However there is still much room for improvement because the quality of cleanliness is not uniform. ---By a University Student

What I like? Hmmmm...
1. The food. Durians of course, and the chilli crabs and char kway teow... marvellous!
2. The people. Singaporeans are generally charitable at heart and willing to contribute for worthy causes when the need arises. See the high donation amounts at charity shows and you will know!
3. Shopping. There is a shopping mall at nearly your doorstep wherever you may live! Aside from the top end ones in the central area like orchard taka, there are less expensive alternative shopping centres at almost every MRT stop!
4. Singlish. Not very averse to the usage, provided that it is not overly mis-used. At working places, it is still recommended to speak professional english or fellow colleagues that are caucasians may not understand your "lor, and lahs". But Singlish, I think, actually binds fellow singaporeans together: when you hear someone speak singlish in foreign places, immediately, you know that person is Singaporean!
5. Cleanliness of Singapore. To a certain extent, except the toilets, public areas are generally clean. ---By a middle-aged business woman
