The Fake Reals, The Real Fakes
Thursday, August 23, 2007
Hi peeps,
Above is a soundtrack from the super "hokkien" and local movie, 881. You know, lots of people always complain about how unfriendly Singaporeans are, how selfish we are. Well, i think most of the so called "friendly" and "ang-mohish" Singaporeans who yearns to live overseas are just fakes. Fake accent, fake attitudes, fake noses.
But the truth is, you reap what you sow. The more i talk to the aunties and uncles, the more genuine i see in them. Its how you talk to them, not how they talk to you.
I realised that these people whom i usually scrutinise with my eyes are actually more genuine than the passer-bys i awe down orchard road. And as i talk to them, i begin to undestand why a redish purple dye with a super curly perm is "in".
The other day, i was buying fish soup from a hawker and we started chatting about hair loss and how "brandy" really worked on her. And you thought you can only get that in Australia.
I don't know if you understood what i just blogged about. Its just, i see warmth and most importantly genuinity in the everyday middle-aged dressed in whatever they feel comfortable in.
Don't get so worked up~ Its just me
