Life In Singapore.....LIS part ONE

LIS 1:

Night-life ends by 10pm, at least my night-life. I don't go pubbing, I don't go Geylang for chicken rice, I don't go Desker Road for duck rice, I don't go to Changi Village for mixed vegetable rice. By 10pm, no-one will say "Hey, let's go to another shopping centre. Starbucks, anyone?" What is UPMOST important in their mind is the ever VITAL TRANSPORTATION.....the MRT ends at 1200 something, only the RICH RICH people can afford mid-night taxi (but a trip from town to Jurong? Pasir Ris?...)

I remembered in Taipei, the night-life doesn't end. The shops open all the way till 1 a.m. And there are other outlets where its 24 hr...like the Chengpin Bookstore. I was on the street at around mid-night, and the Ximending street was still alive with people, some still in their school uniform. Singapore?...hmmmmm you have to think twice who the "people" are if you were to encounter such.

On the other hand, it encourages me to come back home early to BLOG.....




LIS 2:

We are ever so-behind.

Sometimes comparison really must be taken with a pinch of SALT. No doubt we are technologically, economically and politically more advanced than most nations, but really, does that translate to our day to day life?

Finally my guess that WHY SINGAPORE is NOT FUN, is that everything we have, is ALREADY part of other nations' landscape and life-style. Whatever they have, however, our government is still looking into it and governing it, "lest any undesirable information or activities find their way into SIngapore".

The Intergrated Resort is the thing that hopefully can white-wash all that. At least, Hong Kong does not have one......even though they have the Disney Land, but SATISFY the adults FIRST....give them the CASINO.




LIS 3:

Service or no service...make no diff.

I just saw an article on the Sunday Times....i really like that salesperson in that story....

The title of the article is "You see there got, got. Not there, no got."

I am really IMPRESSED. Its the classic Singlish, the mother of all Singlish. I admit...please refer to my previous posts....I am not the English Elite in Singapore, I belonged to the Chinese-party all yearning for the good old days..labour stikes, COMMUNISM, University students rioting......(disclaimer: THIS IS ONLY A JOKE....although I'm studying in NTU...it doesn't mean that I belong to that 60s Nantah era.....phew...too much legal actions on the Blogsphere these days)
Back to my post, yea, I am not the English Elite, however, I prided myself speaking average English.

Anyway, such an issue is no longer a problem.***Its not a problem if you don't see it as a problem*** Its a challenge to brainwash all Singaporeans to spew PROPER ENGLISH. There is no need for bombastic, grandiose and pompous vocabulary to pursue others' attention.

It will take another generation to fully weed out such classics, I guess by then, I will miss it......so.....I decided to speak weird weird too.

*****Sky very hot. Make me sweat like mad. Siam zi peeeeee. How can liddat? Piss man. Let us see see walk walk, k? AXE-kill-me, make way. Toilet leh? There huh? Where? Turn left, turn light, go a bit front, then hor, go light a bit..a bit ownni. Then you see it liao...but then...you see got, got. No see, no got. Dun say I never warn you hor. Thanks leh, brudder. Yea la. No nid thank me one. All friend friend.*****

Enough, lest the government sues me for anti-"Speak-Good-English Campaign".....
