A few things that I wonder about in Singapore:
a)How are the trains from different lines synchronised at MRT interchange stations to arrive in a manner that you get out off one to immediately walk into another?
b)How come the trees are all to a uniform trim & how come you don’t see them being trimmed?
c)How come a place so close to the equator manages to remain pest-free?
d)Precisely when in history did the national religion evolve to being shopping?
e)What did Orchard road look like before the malls were invented?
f)How come all sense of Singapore discipline breaks down the minute you enter Little India?
g)How does Mustapha do it – keep so many things under one roof at such prices?
h)When did the ‘can-la’ patois actually start?
i)Why did they build high rise condo’s with re-inforced concrete bomb shelters in each of the apartments? Further, in the eventuality of their actual use, how did they intend to get the people cooped up inside, down from the 40th floor, assuming that everything else got wiped out?
j)Why do they bother to publish such a thick newspaper?
k)How come there aren’t so many DVD rental places?
l)Do they seriously need to publish everything in 4 languages?

Some more
1)Do they have history as a subject in school curriculum and precisely how thick is the book on S'pore history?
2)Don't they tire of eating, shopping, eating, buying cycle?
3) If Orchard Street is the Jewel in the Crown, how would a Singaporean feel standing next to the Jewels in the crowns of India, Venice, Egypt and such like countries.
Good questions! Answers:
1)It will be a 1-pager in between a tome like chapters on 'condo buidling through the years in Singapore' & 'mall building - do's & dont's'
2) No! (that was easy - ask tougher questions)
3) probably will skip them & head for the nearest mall
only one question
is it true that genius is born out of pathos in society and since singapore is as close to perfect as (coordinated trains, un trimmed yet trimmed trees) as a society can get - chance of genius coming from there is very less ?
Probability of genius-ness here is zero! Everything is imported, including intellect!
Hi,
I was reading ur blog posts and found some of them to be very good.. u write well.. Why don't you popularize it more.. ur posts on ur blog ‘So what Consumed me today?’ took my particular attention as some of them are interesting topics of mine too;
BTW I help out some ex-IIMA guys who with another batch mate run www.rambhai.com where you can post links to your most loved blog-posts. Rambhai was the chaiwala at IIMA and it is a site where users can themselves share links to blog posts etc and other can find and vote on them. The best make it to the homepage!
This way you can reach out to rambhai readers some of whom could become your ardent fans.. who knows.. :)
Cheers,
Don't make all of us needed to clean up our diets. We've only had a short life
expectancy due to a poor. Those healthy foods should still be limited due
to the removal of dairy from the diet of a
caveman very seriously, and assume that they whatever they could find.
my blog post ... best diet in 2012
