have you noticed on almost all Singapore Airlines ads, the WHITE business man is as prevalent as the iconic singapore girl? first of all it seems that singapore airlines has not come out of the colonial era- why not the indian techbillionaire or the chinese towkay? second, it perpetuates the shoulda-been-long-gone image of the spg- i mean, what with the beautiful subservient female in a sarong kebaya??!! aiyoh...

a few days ago i signed up for singaporeday and after registering successfully, i tried to sign fede up for it, only to receive an error message saying registration has been closed due to overwhelming response. in the last 30 seconds?? oh well just his luck.

two days later, as singaporeday frenzy broke out again, adele reminded us to register. i told her registration had been closed and i was one of the last people to get in. she said no cannot be, checked with her friend, only to find out that you have to register people as singaporeans! so i did, and it worked!!

i don't know if it was a glitch in the system or the organizers had a powwow and said, eh we got too many people leh how ah? aiyah easy lah- when we get to 500 signups we stop all foreigners and just allow only singaporeans lah. but make sure to put on the website that we welcome people of all races and nationalities hor.
