mardi, janvier 25, 2005 We Singaporeans sure love our food I'm a little bugged by the reports in the newspapers about the so-called "traditions" that schoolkids have - you know the ones I mean: the taupok, the keropok, the bra-snapping, the wedgie, the soggy biscuit (this one's definitely the tradition of some angmoh-ified international school or other, judging from the slightly distasteful (to say the least!) factor involved.) Why can't the papers just run a small story and be done with it? Now, fun, harmless things like bra-snapping have been psychologized and analyzed to death, and the health detriments of taupok-ing listed... There'll be even less fun in schools now. Maybe they should research the history of flagpoling and compare the ascent of this "game" with the drop in Singapore's fertility rates...[We Singaporeans sure love our food] |
