You won't find it elsewhere unless you are there. But that's how we behave. True Singaporean.
Thanks to SMS, you have an extra large thumb.
You pat MRT and bus seats to cool them before you sit down.
At lunch, you start discussing what to eat for dinner.
When speaking to foreigners, you somehow feel a need to adopt an accent. (If you’re a DJ, this happens even when you’re not speaking to foreigners.)
You’re forever talking about businesses you want to set up but will probably never get around to starting.
You don’t know ¾ of the people attending your wedding.
You separate food into 2 basic groups: ‘heaty’ and ‘cooling’.
You’re never completely sure how many times you’ve sung the second verse of the National Anthem.
You have kids for the tax advantages.
You move to where you want your child to go to school.
You feel you can’t walk around naked in your own flat.
You think people are inconsiderate when they don’t leave their table immediately after eating at the food court but think you have every right to take 25 bites to finish the last red bean in your ice kachang.
You think the most important sporting event in Singapore this year was C ronaldo switching from Manchester United to Real Madrid.
It actually makes a difference to you being called an ‘NSMan’ rather than a ‘Reservist’.
You’ve eaten more times at the Esplanade than you’ve actually seen shows there.
You need campaigns to tell you how to be courteous, to flush toilets, have sex, etc.
When you visit the Zoo, you wonder what the animals taste like.
You always feel oddly hungry at 11 pm, and are willing to drive to far away places for supper.
You’ll gladly spend $50,000 on a car, but will go to great lengths to save a few bucks on ERP charges or even a few cents on a parking coupon.
If you’re pregnant, you have the strange ability to make people on the MRT fall asleep instantly.
You ask for the bill by miming a signing movement.
During sales, you book hotel rooms near malls to enable you to shop more efficiently.
You pronounce the letter ‘R’ as ‘ah-rer’ and the letter ‘H’ as ‘haytch’.
You’re always on a quest for the definitive version of your favourite local dish.
When you explain things to people, you keep (a) using alphabets, and (b) speaking in point form.
You ‘chope’ a seat by placing a packet of tissues on the chair.
