Boring Singaporeans

Back to my rants and flames again.

I read the Sunday Times article "Burger joint grilled over ad" by Cheryl Tan (Lifestyle section, page 2) with disgust. Not because I thought the advertisement was vomit-inducing but because I find Singaporeans in general are so uptight that it makes me wana puke.

I personally found the advertisement slogan "It'll blow your mind away" (and coupled with the fact that the burger was called the Super Seven Incher) hilarious. I was laughing out loud when I first saw the ad. I thought it was a refreshing change from the usual boring ads and kinda witty cause it made you think to get the joke.

But, of course, Singaporean have to go and complain that the advertisement is "vulgar". Oh like come on! How boring and close-minded can you guys get? Honestly, some of the people in this country are so uninteresting, I can fall asleep talking to them. Singaporeans have absolutely no sense of humour.

When I was in Australia, the university had advertisements for a discount card with the slogan "Your friend with benefits" and it featured a hunky guy or a very pretty girl on the advert. If that advertisement was put up in Singapore, I think the public would go up in arms against the university.

Like I said, it's so hard to find somebody with an open mind and interesting to talk to here in Singapore. Just when a company comes up with an interesting and funny advertisement, you guys gotta go and shoot it down. Shame in you conservative freaks. It's because of people like you that this country is so damn boring.

JTC

I just finished with my internship at JTC Corporation!

Wow, can't believe 9 weeks flew by just like that. I had two supervisors during my time there - Annie and Yan Fen. I was lucky because my supervisors were really caring and treated me well when I was there. I know of some interns whose supervisors don't care about them at all.

And I also met some fabulous people there. Ramon, Ben, Eng Hwa, Cynthia, Annabelle, Ryan, and many others. All of them made my short stay at JTC really enjoyable. I'm gonna miss them all so much.

The best part is, so many of them graduated from SDE Real Estate! And they are all around my age. Annie is just 2 years older and Yan Fen is 1 year older than me and both of them graduated from SDE. Kinda makes me wonder why am I still in school. I should be out there working by now! I keep asking them about SDE and they kept asking me how was the lecturers, etc. It was very interesting to hear all the stories from my seniors.

And of course, how can I not mention the other interns there with me! Ivorie, Angeline, Jessie, Amenda, Brandon and Yu Rong! Man, you guys made my stay there so very very very interesting with all your jokes and outing. I'm gonna miss our hour-long breakfasts haha.. It's been a blast guys! See you in school!
