ugly singaporeans

this was what went through my mind when i visited changi airport t3 last evening - "omg! singaporeans are really ugly!"

(the second thing that passed through my mind was "man! singaporeans are a hungry lot - and it wasn't even hungry ghost festival yet!" but ahem... that would be another story... let me go on about the "ugly" part...)

when i said ugly, i didn't mean ugly as in "bad behaviour", that has already been accepted as a norm for me. i meant - their physical looks can be really really... erm... ugly. there were many people with distorted facial features (yes, i am being mean to write this), people who were fat, people who were obese, people who wore make-up so thick their face looked like some terracotta warrior (and they would even put the japanese geishas to shame), people who poured so much perfume on their body you could smell them miles away, people with hairdos so bad you wished they'd just go bald, people with faces that don't match the body, people with body that don't match the clothes, and people with clothes that don't match the personality... and a splish splash of colours all over the body that clash everywhere! aiyoyo! and not to mention there were many many people who strut around in slippers, singlets, and shorts macam they were in a wet market. and for god sake, you don't dress your toddlers up in pyjamas, bring them to the airport and let them run around like it was some pyjamas stay over night! it was simply an eye sore! that was not what you do to welcome your guest from other countries!

eeeeeeeeks! may be this was some plot of sia to make their girls look good (considering their standards have dropped over the years...)

then again, when i looked at myself, i myself was not dressed to the 9s either. i was in my berms, pullover (as usual) and in my sandals too... so... heh heh... i must be as ugly as many of them too! heh heh heh...

:-)

ps: for any tourists who happened to go down to basement 2 foodcourt after arriving singapore, it must have felt like descending into hell (ahhh.. get me back to my country!), everything look fugly, both in its behavioural sense as well as in it physical sense, and all the crowds and the screaming and wailing kids. well... i could only say - surprising singapore! uniquely singapore! welcome! vanekum! selamat datang ke singapura!
