Now now, the food debate is getting on my nerves. MAAAAAAN, why can't people just realise that food is for our pleasure and consumption? It's not as if Singapore or Malaysia will lose out in any sense if the respective food items do not originate from them?
Why kick up such a big fuss? Given the time they spent on 'research', I do honestly feel they could have spent their time better. I mean, Chilli crab, what in the world is wrong with having two variations?! It spells variation for consumers! If you guys really must bicker about having a unique identity, think of a new dish. For example, we Singaporean-Chinese use crispy mantous as an excuse to wallop even more yummy chilli crab 'zhap'.
Similarly, why don't someone come up with ketupats to dip into chilli crab sauce?! Imagine the overall increase in utility us consumers will enjoy. Sighhh, this is a downright erosion of consumer welfare.

Next up, I just read an article about Li Jiawei and her baby. Like.. wth?! The baby's just arrived and these people are already giving the whole family flak. Will the baby be a Singaporean? Will the baby grab Olympic gold in the future with the crescent and five stars in the background?
Get a life dudes. Table tennis balls can wait.. First up? Fishballs duh. Who can not like those springy tangible balls. Give the baby a chance to grow up. The issue of citizenship can wait. This family deserves a chance to embrace their new family life!
Anw, since we are on the whole citizenship issue, Coco Lee has become the latest celebrity to express interest in become Singaporean. Woah, we certainly are attracting foreign talent. People may think that our government shouldn't issue pink ICs like 100 plus at Army Half Marathon but a little glitz and glamour to brighten up our landscape wouldn't hurt.
Look at the local scene, the stars are definitely getting fewer while older. Where are the fresh young talent?! We guys demand more Ou Xuans (when she was younger) and Rui Ens! Maybe Coco Lee appearing as Gongli's daughter and Hui Ge's wife on some show called 'Beach Golf Babes' will inspire more acting wannabes. Having Coco as your wife on screen? Guys will kill.
If Hui Ge can hug Coco, so can you.

In retrospect, maybe the government should have focused on branding Singapore as 'the most westernized country you can ever find in Asia'. Maybe then, it wouldn't be Coco requesting citizenship.
Maybe then, I'll get to catch Ms Emma Watson buying tangyuan at Mr Bean one day. Or even better, tucking in to chilli crab with a mantou in one hand, and a ketupat in the other.
Go figure.
