Shingz-gapore's D&D 2011.
I get interviewed by the papers, she reads it and insists that I talk rubbish.
Well, technically.. everything in there's pretty rubbish!
But she still reads them and chooses to value everybody's else's opinions except mine. :(
It's a little frustrating, and a teeny weeny bit amusing.
But in this case,
SERIOUSLY.
I don't think I'm being rubbish at all.
The reporter(Hua Gui) called me a day before, and I really put thought into what i initially thought to be a rather non-consequential question.
The question was: If I had a choice, what programming would I want to see in the annual National Day Parade?
Its a huge national event.
Just appearing in half our national colour and slightly exercising those biceps doesn't really count as being part of the CELEBRATION!
SURPRISE US!!!!
(really, we're very very easily surprised and contented, contrary to PAPlic opinion.)
Happy Birthday Singapore :)
We might not have a whole lot of history or a very special culture,
but if our self-value as a nation came from comparing ourselves to every other nation in this world, we'd be a very miserable bunch.
We're not that delightful yet, and we can definitely do better!
I could travel the oceans and soar across the skies,
but no matter what accent I attempt to imitate,
or whatever fake colonial slang I put on,
I'll always be Singaporean LAH.
Because,
this is HOME LOR.
You can take me out of Singapore, but you can never take the Singapore out of me OK?????
Dun pray pray.
