Read about the egg attack incident on New Paper and it happens to report on some neighbour conflict in the same issue. Basically this fat auntie threw eggs at this china young lady who so called agitated her by accidentally spraying perfume in her direction. So…she hurled the bag of eggs she bought at her. Ended up in a CatEggFight.
While standard of living is going up like nobody’s biz, GST, carpark charges, petrol and ERP are escalating like mad, the auntie decided to waste her bag of precious eggs on venting her anger on and humiliating another human being. Sighz..what’s the world coming to… thought we’re a civilised society. Watched the episode on toa payoh HDB hub on youtube..this uncle kept scolding this angmoh and chinese lady, “EHH…you in singapore leh..!! I’m singaporean okay…you are in Singapore okay!..” this patriotic phrase has been repeated over and over again in various quarrel dramas. Are we really proud that we’re singaporeans? Or it’s just normal animal instinct to show territorialism?
I am very proud to be Singaporean I must say. Like furiously waving the singapore flag during NDP, singing the national day song with gusto and pride, sticking national flag around my work cubicle. This patriotism heightens whenever I return from holidays, making me appreciate where I live even more.
An Andy Lau Cyma watch ad in Cityhall mrt says:
“ If you grasp the fleeting nature of time, only then you will appreciate the present.”
how true.
