I am Terribly Humbled.

I just watched Girls Get Loud on YouTube at Mary's house. It was funny for a time, then it just got very embarrassing to see the little faults of Singapore flow so freely like that. And represented, no less, by the queen of cannot make it, Xiaxue. Why are we proclaiming and hence perpetuating kiasuness? Why, why, do we want to watch Xiaxue fail at everything she attempts? And why, oh why, does being a famous blogger justify your bad acting to be splashed all over national television with such gay abandon?

Why the show chooses to highlight things like poor diction, petty bitch fights, lining up for free gifts just because it's free, and the inability of Singaporean men to deliver a decent marriage proposal, as "The Singapore Culture" is quite beyond me.

I am le baffled.

It's because of things like these that whenever i exalt Singapore and praise it to high heaven, there's a small person at the back of my head that points and laughs and says "Yeah right."

And really? Singaporean men propose like that? By asking their girlfriends if they want to move into a HDB flat with them? Really? Woe to the man who tries to pull this one on me. I will, firstly, look at him like something started growing out of his nose. Secondly, look him point blank in the eyes and say No, please try again.
