being singaporean means: September 2008

Saturday, September 13, 2008

always going back to places we know best, like overseas groccery shopping at carrefour.

having to 'chiong' to a seat in a bus and 'chope' a place for your friend - overseas.

*chiong = to rush
*chope = to reserve

diverting your eyes and talking to your friend intently, while walking past a fellow singaporean overseas.

to look like receiving a pamphlet from someone at the mrt station can cost you your life.

having pride that we live peacefully in a multi-racial community.

to throw away half a stick of cigarette, just to make sure that you get a seat in macdonald's before the other person approaching.

having possibly tried the most number of foreign cuisines.

it's okay to 'chope' a table while buying food with personal items like tissue packets and umbrellas.

*chope - to reserve

to speed up when the driver in the next lane signals he wanna cut into yours.

to move closer to the person in front of you in the queue when someone else comes near.
