小红点 - "I swallow" and FUNtastic Singapore 25 August 2006

A recent advertisement brought up the media furore or shall I speak, the conservatives furore in the papers.

The words used when put aside the veteran actress gave these conservatives a run for their imagination. Surely it have made its point, it made the impact it should: by drawing readers to find out what the whole hoo-haa was about. (which was some health product anyway, and the actress was trying to say, she SWALLOWED the pills, which was not misleading in anyway. It is all the fault of those ultra-conservatives)

It reminds of the portion which I read in a local writing: the government official said that the government is willing to include fun.

Of all things, you might think this editior here is an anti-government, anti-social human being whose ancestors were formerly climbing trees or picking fleas out of each other. Well, very much to say, I am not. Neither do I profess to be one either. I probably end in the grey sector which lies somewhere... in the twilight zone (sounds familiar?)

Anyway, Singapore is on its way to being the vibrant, FUN city to be in. Forget about the night life of Hong Kong, forget the transvestites of Bangkok, you can have FUN here in Singapore. How much fun, well... we DO have the Crazy Horse, although I beg to differ that the caberet dancers are crazy in the first place to do or even contemplate horse-dancing. We will have a much holier than thou place after Joo Chia, Geylang is swept clean... if you ever get what I mean. Then we can have "fun" in the upcoming tablets soon-to-be-erected presiding over Marina Bay. But I would assume losing a major proportion of your salary into the coffers of the operator would not be that FUN anymore.

If you run out of money, it is perfectly all right. You could even do a bungee jump (caution: equipment not included. ) off the Shears Bridge thereafter. Feel the water coming close to your face at the speed of a bullet, if you ever survive, would outbeat any category of fun anywhere.

Think about it, Singapore will be a FUN city afterall!
