Of 10

CPF changes, housing landscape changes.. everything is Changing

So what was it like 10years ago? 10 is a usual measure of time, 10 year cycles so as to speak.. 10 years ago, the year was 1997.. i was still a teen in secondary two, dreaming about growing up and looking at school girls in uniform.. haha..

still remember that things were quite bad then, it was the economic crisis period and i did know a little what that meant despite my young age. Now to speak about the broader things..
Sept 11 was just another in 1997 and security was harder an issue.. MRT was considered a very fast mode of transport and no one really minded if the train was "late" because no one really knew when they had to come..

Closer to home, computers was a luxury and internet, even more so.. the favourite chatting program then was mIRC, no one really knew about MSN, even ICQ was a relative novelty. Floppy disk was used to store projects that school designed, i still remember taking a windows 3.1 lesson in school when i was in sec 1. Then came win95, win98, win2k, win XP and now in 2007, win vista

Handphones, something that most people cannot do without, was even harder to get then.. if your parent(s) had any, it would be a black heavy piece with plastic buttons and a pager-like display screen and the too too too goes everything you dial a number

So what does the future hold? What would the world and Singapore be like come 2017? Ten years of change, ten years of improvement

What would you like to see or have in Year 2017?
