The Bizarre Behaviour of Singaporeans

The outsider view is often the most perceptive - observations made by a German national who has lived in Singapore for 9 years.

44 years of economic and material success have spawned some very strange behaviours among Singaporeans. They spent so much to buy a house or flat, furnished it up like a palace, but spent their time outside, most of the time at work. And the maids are the ones enjoying the million-dollar or multi-million-dollar assets.

Then they pay so much, the highest in the world, for a car only to park at home. Too expensive to drive, too many ERPs and car park charges to pay. And they are encouraged to park their cars at home and take public transport, being cheaper and more convenient.

And when Singaporeans travel, instead of seeing the places, they went shopping. The best part is that they would head for the cheapest bargains, buying stuff that they could get in Chinatown or pasar malam, at even cheaper prices. But they are still happy that they got a bargain.

And while the heartlanders are busy trying to make a life here, being told to bust off if they are not happy, which they could not, the rich and presumably very happy and contented citizens are buying up properties overseas just in case they need to make that escape from this paradise.

While many Singaporeans are thinking of jumping ship, or preparing to jump ship, hoards of new immigrants are rushing in to take their place in this paradise.

And to top it all up, they keep complaining about the govt and all the policies that they found unpalatable, but come every election, they will vote and return the govt to power.

Singapore Idols = boomz!

OMG. *headdesk*


PS If you look closely ~0:05, the publishers even misspelt "Mathetmatics!" (sp) *double headdesk*

Chronicles of Narnia

Thanks to a friend's referral, I can finally read CS Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia online, illustrated and free! As a big Tolkien fan growing up, Narnia never quite grabbed my imagination as Middle Earth did. To be fair, although the first two movies were box office successes, they didn't quite do the original books justice -- much like Harry Potter, His Dark Materials and other popular children's film adaptations. It'd be good to revisit Aslan's world with my (somewhat) older lenses.

Don't Stop Believin'

Fell in love with this song once again but can't decide which Journey cover/remix I like better - there's so many out there!

Glee's cover - when will this new TV series air in Asia?! Trailer here


Family Guy + classic Journey remix


Filipino Arnel Pinada's first show as Journey's new lead vocalist


Sam Tsui's cover of Glee's cover (your eyes are *not* deceiving you!)


Nick Pitera's cover of Glee's cover (he really is singing both parts!)


... and the 2009 American Idols

Bad day - 'nuff said

Superwoman

I'm needing some gal pep talk after this week. Count on Alicia Keys to bring out the real "S" factor in you!

Everywhere I'm turning
Nothing seems complete
I stand up and I'm searching
For the better part of me
I hang my head from sorrow
Slave to humanity
I wear it on my shoulders
Gotta find the strength in me

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Still when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Still when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

When I'm breaking down
And I can't be found
And I start to get weak
Cause no one knows
Me underneath these clothes
But I can fly
We can fly, Oooohh

Cause I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Still when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest
Oh yes
I'm a Superwoman

Some days, I feel like doing this too ...

... but for very different reasons!
