All Things Singapore...What we LOVE and What we really Love...

As our National Day draws closer and be blessed our TV due to the Olympics happening just a day before NDP. I would like to take this opportunity to blog this post.

Well, we know Singapore is a country of multiple races, multiple languages and a whole magnitude of freaks that looks weird but does not include the sane ones (I, however, do not belong to that magnitude).

Initially there were the 4 major races. The Ching Chong China man a.k.a Chinese (I find its okay to mock my own race, can't really call me racist for making racist jokes at my own race, right?), The Malays, Indians and the Ang Mors (This is another race worth mocking because we are in god damn Singapore).

I believe Sang Nila Utama is Chinese, not Malay and not Indian and definitely not Ang Mor. Why?

Okay. Look at his name structure. Sang Nila Utama. If you break it up it will look something like this:

Sang Ni La Utama.

Now that I have put it that way, his name seems more Chinese right? With 'Sang' being his surname and 'Ni La'. I hypothesised his name into Chinese and this would most likely be how it looks - 桑 妮 旯.

Oh as for 'Utama', I think his parents just find it cool to give him a Malay/Indian sounding Christian name, therefore the 'Utama'. And you know how Indonesian Chinese have got Malay names as well. And I think he lives in Batam. If not how could he have sailed to Singapore?

And however does he describe a creature with "Red Body, Black Head and a White breast" to be a Lion? He is most likely to be high on marijuana and suffering from ocean sickness at that moment.

Moreover, he is definitely distraughted by the fact that he threw his beautiful tiara in the sea? (Oh that drama queen...)

Okay that was random...

I should stop poking fun at the discoverer of Singapore. For all you know, if he didn't discover Singapore, Columbus might have done it and we might be called something else.

Anyway, you know we should all love our foreign workers. Because without them, you would have to wash your own dishes, do your own laundry, carry your own bag, clean your own house and not getting worried about them being impregnated by Bangladeshis. Without them you would not have your high rise buildings to live in.

Come on, they ain't that bad. Because of the PRC Chinese, you have good Chinese food. Because of the Filipinos you have a cheap $2 shop to shop in and you wouldn't have to clean your room. Because of the Bangladeshis, Thais and the Indians, you have your comfortable homes to live in.

But because of them, on every Sunday, Singapore turns into the whole of Asia country. Its like the whole of Asia condensed into one small island. Little India live up to its name, Beach Road becomes Pratunam, Lucky Plaza transform into Mini Manila. But the Malays are abit different, they gather every Friday at Kampung Glam, because they are feeling glamorous every Friday and not on any other days of the week. As for the Ang Mors, they stay at home.

The Chinese dominates the upper area of Orchard Road, from Tanglin Mall all the way to the very curb at the edge of Paragon and Ngee Ann City. And the rest of it by kids. Gosh, Cineleisure looked more like a secondary school during recess rather than a shopping mall

Personally, I think other than table-tennis and Badminton, the other sports (ever played in Singapore) are a total mockery towards the people who play those sports. And I think the biggest joke of them all have got to be the Soccer team in Singapore.

Somehow, the Olympic committee found it very funny to pit Singapore against Brazil. And indeed, it is very funny. Ever heard of "Pitting an egg against a rock", but in this case, its "Pitting a bubble against a bulldozer".

Even us, Singaporeans, make a joke out of it. Singapore should just abolish this sport and concentrate the funds on something else. As for Basketball, not alot of people actually know that Singapore's team is call Singapore Slinger. But we can't blame them. Singaporeans are sometimes too drunk and too stupid to differentiate between a cocktail and a basketball team.

Mention trap shooting and most Singaporeans will go "WTF is that?"

Singapore can boast about not having any natural disaster. Well its really because somewhere some place, there is a higher being who is able to see the situation in Singapore.

He/She knows that even without natural disasters like floods or earthquakes, we are already suffering. And Singaporean's suffering is not short term. Its for a lifetime. So you suffer the day you were born till the day you enter the grave or decides to jump down the building.

Why?

Our government lor...

Increase in ERP gantries - motorist and drivers stress and their wallets suffer.
Increase GST - All of us suffer
Taxes - everyone suffer

And what do they do with all that money? Build Casino, a pair of durians and that stupid stage that never sinks (I hope it does while certain president of certain country does his waving routine during certain national celebration).

But anyway.
