Random thoughts

Singaporean parents are either ignorant, kiasu or both.

But what can you expect from a nation where maids sometimes get abused.

Where the whole of August revolves around the giving of free gift packs and tickets.

Where volunteer work is a way to get your kids into the 'best " schools, or generous donations.

Where there are teachers who didn't want to become teachers at all.

Where there are kids who ask for air-conditioning at a camp. (from gage)

Where one of the annual national events is a Sale spanning a month.

Where there are queues for anything from soft toys to tickets.

Where parents request for the total replacement of everything a teacher, whom they deduced had HIV because he's gay, touched.

Where evacuating customers had to pay before they could leave.

Where a weird old man sits naked in the swimming pool changing room.

Where a neighbors tiff can become news fodder.

Where TV programmes get recycled so often thay are now stale.

Where you actually have to pay for the right to own a car.
