The contradictions of Singaporeans |
Something that I read from a magazine... I was quite amused by it. So share with you all to help defuse whatever stress or unhappiness u might be having~ :
1) Sleeping with the air-con on at night and bathing with hot water during the day. 2) Can't wake up during the day; can't sleep during the night. (SO TRUE FOR ME!!) 3) Singaporean Chinese needing a translator to converse with Mainland Chinese. 4) Using mainly a foreign language to communicate with other Singaporean Chinese. 5) The dustbin besides the letterboxes contains air. The floor in front of the letter box is filled with litter. 6) Vote infrequently (It means election votes... not the Idol contests etc) but complain frequently 7) 50% of the people do not know how to speak in their mother tongue well. (ehh... i dun agree with this... think it's a fallacy leh) 8) There's a lot of 'rich' poor people. They have a car, a house, credit card and CPF; but has no cash and owe alot of debts. 9) There's a lot of developed barbarians who know how to use technologically advanced computers and handphones but yet to learn how to use a dustbin and toilet properly. 10) Shopping madly for Hello Kitties but madly killing the stray cats. 11) The government endorses the Merlion; the people is admiring a white elephant. 12) Chewing gum : Can be chewed but can't be bought. 13) Cigarettes : Very convenient to buy but inconvenient to smoke. 14) Private cars : Easier to buy; harder to maintain (with the ever-rising oil prices and road taxes...) 15) Public buses : Carrying lots of people in the front while lots of ghosts at the back? 16) Education : Teach less, learn more. |
