It's been ages since I last wrote a blockbuster post so I have decided to pen one while I still have some inspiration lingering in my mind.
I am relieved to know that Singapore is not mundane after all.
This highly urbanized country still boasts people who can create controversy and make commoners talk about them when there's nothing else left to chat about other than the weather.
Last week, a certain Samantha who lives in Holland Village called in to a radio station and asked uncultured heartlanders to stay clear of her (I assume that it's a female) high-class neighbourhood.
That was good enough to provoke someone to create a Facebook event called "1000 Go Holland Village in Singlet Short and Flipflop". So far, there are 58 brave souls who have confirmed their attendance. Not bad, just another 942 more.
Samantha has since called in to the radio station to issue an apology. I propose that everybody including ang mohs who are Dutch to boycott Holland V on a certain day and wear classy clothes to neighbouring Ghim Moh. I have not thought of what will they be doing in Ghim Moh.
The MP of this constituency should also dig into the records and order all the Samanthas living there to attend a counselling session where they will be informed that Singaporeans wear shorts and slippers to anywhere they go, Orchard Road included.
If an anonymous voice over the radio is not enough to interest you, how about a picture on the Internet? Yes, it's none other than the one of a maid carrying a NSman's bag.
News about it spread quickly from the online world all the way to the mainstream media. The older generation was quick to label their younger counterparts as "spoiled" and "pampered" although it is obvious who were the ones who spoiled and pampered them.
Netizens also took the opportunity to show off their poor Photoshop skills by creating pictures of the maid in a variety of NS situations. Unfortunately, none of them looked decent enough to make me look for more than 1.6 seconds.
Actually, there is no big deal about this incident. As a domestic worker, it is her job to help her young master carry his bag. Indeed, the focus should be on the plain-looking maid and not the one wearing Number Four uniform.
All potential maid-employers should look out for such a diligent and obedient worker. Also, it is evident that as a female, the maid has quite a considerable amount of strength to bear such weight.
Now, who says Singapore is unable to attract quality domestic helpers?
If a rich snob's voice on radio and a picture of two people with their backs facing you is still not sufficient to catch your attention, then I have no choice but to use my trump card. Wait, it's not mine, it's the PAP's.
You will be forgiven if you had not heard of the above two people who have hogged spaces in newspaper pages over the past week. However, you must definitely know who is Miss Tin Pei Ling.
There are two variations to who she is, depending on whether the person who talks about her is clad in white or other colours. The first variation is that she is the youngest candidate unveiled by the ruling party to take part in this year's elections.
I always thought that Tay Ping Hui (TPL) was the most popular and well-known member of PAP but things do change overnight. Another TPL has emerged to hog newspaper headlines and the eyes of men.
Dr. Lily Neo of Jalan Besar GRC would be pleased (and maybe pissed as there's competition) to know that there is a successor to her as the face of PAP.
However, Miss Tin is a class above. She is more fashionable and has good taste as seen in one of the photos where she posed with a Kate Spade bag. Honestly, I've never heard of Kate Spade because I am many classes below like what Samantha of Holland V labels as heartlanders.
This is clearly a sign of leadership renewal in the government. Younger, cuter and materialistic women should be in parliament. This will send a strong signal to the citizens that our legislature can be hip and dynamic compared to the current one.
These women MPs might stomp their foot in Parliament when their proposals are rejected or pose for the camera with a cute peace sign when their ideas are taken into consideration.
The above are just speculation but there is one thing that I can be 99% sure of. These girls will enter parliament via the GRC backdoor.
Now, how can Singapore be mundane with so many interesting people?
