Uniquely Singapore 4 - National Pastime

The taxi drivers do it all the time. The aunties also do it. The opposition loves to do it. What am I talking about? Complain and make fun of the gahmen of course. But nobody can do it better than our celebrities. Still got song and dance. How about an applause?

Hmm if only they dare to sing these on national tv

Uniquely Singapore 3 - National Icon

China have their Great Wall, France the Effiel Tower, America the Statue of Liberty, Australis has the Sydney Opera House, .... and what do we have? With no historical building grand enough to be the iconic symbol of Singapore, what do we do? Build our own lah! And in typical Singapore fashion, not just one but 2.

And what better monument than the King of Fruits. Never mind that we import 99.99% of it from Malaysia.

And since geographically it is impossible for Singapore to have lions, but because we have been embarrasing ourselves all this years by calling ourselves the Lion City when in fact there is no lion.... why not invent our own lion. Smart move. Now we can have our cake and eat it too!

And just so that the tourists will not miss both of them, put them next to each other.

Uniquely Singapore 2 - National Disgrace

He is the epitome of crass. Of bengness. He with his spitting, his noise picking and ear digging. And they got this character to front the MRT courtesy campaign. Who else but the most famous and recognisable person in Singapore. And I not talking about a certain MM.

Mr & Mrs PCK teaching manners? What else will they do next?

Uniquely Singapore 1 - National Hobby

9 days to our little red dot's 44th birthday. And my little tribute to this red dot. Something uniquely Singapore that may and most likely not be on the official Uniquely Singapore website

First of all, is our national favourite hobby - food of course. Here in this little red dot, we have food from all over the world; Japanese, Korean, Indian, African, Italian, French, Thai you name it we have it. And from glitzy restaurants to road stall stalls its food food food. And I dare say we are the food capital of the world. We may not have the best but we definitely have the most.

Enough of words. A picture says a thousand words. In this case maybe a thousand drools

And this song aptly sum it all up:
