After a hard day’s work, who could resist a short attempt at humour?

So after all the hype about jules leaving to down under , it suddenly dawned upon us that our foul mouthed friend is indeed going to leave us. So we will be scattered all over the globe, literally. The cool people being in , well, England, and the rest in the land of Wallabies and Kangaroos -  where if i remember correctly, they celebrate their christmas in blardy june/july.

On the topic of the few of us becoming such nice and active “global citizens” , i guess it is timely to reflect on how we as Singaporeans portray our own country.  Though we may be known for our efficiency, especially our government’s; our clean and green streets; shopping ( though i must admit that the GSS pales in comparison with the boxing day sales in London, totaly ownage man), how are we as individuals potraying ourselves as individuals?

I am definitely proud to be Singaporean, though there are the usual gripes and all, but hey, nothing beats touching down at Changi Airport after 1 year in London.

One of the more pertinent issues is regarding the almost prevalent Pinkerton Syndrome amongst Singaporeans.  I seriously think people who are “famous” or who regards themselves as “famous” should take up an active role of not being associated with such derogatory behavior.

This is a video of Singapore’s “most famous” blogger Xiaxue: totally insensitve and totally brainless. Come on, the guy you are talking to is a Plastic Surgeon, a professional who contributes to society. Maybe the one who did your nosejob should have replaced your nose with a vagina. haha… talk about CB Bin…
