I went window shopping the other day, and I stumbled upon a cosmetics store, imports from Korea. The interesting part is, this teenage girl, from China, came up to me and started speaking in her native language. So I said "i'm sorry, i don't speak chinese". For the life of me, i don't know why i bothered explaining myself. (I did understand every word she said by the way).
Call it an experiment, but I wanted to see the reaction. She looked at me as if I'm some ghastly creature. Was it not acceptable that I, a Singaporean, where our national anthem is in Malay, did not know/want to converse in Chinese?

I am getting fed up with the way the Government is opening up its arms to these aliens. The last I remembered, when you go to someone else's country, you respect their culture, their tradition, and possibly, their language. I guess these certain aliens I'm speaking about are pampered by the Government in a way, that they think, they've blended well enough with the majority, to look down on the minority.

Think about it. I don't go to India to work, and speak Malay with everyone there, and look at them weird when they don't understand what the fuck just came out of my mouth.

Hire foreign talents, they say. The streets of Geylang are filling up, people. With 'foreign talents'. God knows, they probably do it 'wushu style' in bed with paying clients. talented indeed, in a foreign way.

I mean, I do respect the English and Americans. They lay low, in their own minority group. So what if they're snobbish? I believe they are contributing to our economy. They deserve a space in tiny Singapore. As opposed to certain aliens. All they do for our country, is, contribute spit to the roadsides.
