Singapore

Singapore (i/ˈsɪŋɡəpɔːr/), officially the Republic of Singapore, and often referred to as the Lion City, the Garden City, and the Red Dot, is a global city in Southeast Asia and the world's only island city-state. It lies one degree (137 km) north of the equator, at the southernmost tip of continental Asia and peninsular Malaysia, with Indonesia's Riau Islands to the south. Singapore's territory consists of the diamond-shaped main island and 62 islets. Since independence, extensive land reclamation has increased its total size by 23% (130 km2), and its greening policy has covered the densely populated island with tropical flora, parks and gardens.

The islands were settled from the second century AD by a series of local empires. In 1819, Sir Stamford Raffles founded modern Singapore as a trading post of the East India Company; after the company collapsed, the islands were ceded to Britain and became part of its Straits Settlements in 1826. During World War II, Singapore was occupied by Japan. It gained independence from Britain in 1963, by uniting with other former British territories to form Malaysia, but was expelled two years later over ideological differences. After early years of turbulence, and despite lacking natural resources and a hinterland, the nation developed rapidly as an Asian tiger economy, based on external trade and its human capital.

Venting The Anger

by: Susperia

Here we go again, haven't
seen the fortuneand fame
Anything you haven't told
me yet, like being part
of a game
I like the way you're
telling me, you're gonna
meke me rich
Nothing happens still,
have I lost
Isolate, don't let it flow
Idolize my way, then
choose where to go
I wont stop
even though you do
I know there's something
wrong with your heart
Lies from the start
till the end
You never were my friend
And in the end you will see
how close you stand to me
I can't see an ending
Who will help me rise again
On the road to ruin
Save me, I believe in
nothing
Feed of my blood,
sit back and have a laugh
No need to pretend, I know
you're not my friend
The more I try the less
I get from you
No more, I cry, the mess
you put me though
I can't see an ending
Who will help me rise again
On the road to ruin
Save me, I believe in
nothing
There and back again,
memories of failure
and shame
Can you do anything right,
some things will never
change
I like the way you're pushing
me in your direction
Nothing matters now, you have lost
Isolate, don't let it flow
Idolize my way,
then choose where to go
I wont stop,
even though you do
I konow there's something
wrong with your heart
I can't see an ending
Who will help me rise again
On the road to ruin
Save me, I believe in
nothing
Can You see me
Who will help me up now
All alone here
Save me when
