Freaky island

Things are really made worse by the FACT that

PRESIDENTIAL SWEARING-IN is shown at the same time as
finals for PROJECT SUPERSTAR

There's like this tiny crowd of supa eleeite creme de la creme peeps gathered to witness the sombre swearing-in, dressed in their Istana-best and officers in smart No.1 Uniforms

as compared to swelling masses gathered at S'pore Indoor Stadium to support the aspiring Superstars, some half-naked to show support, some as mummies, others in primary colours to show support a la NDP.

My gosh, talk about Juxtaposition and contrast.

But i notice the swearing-in doesn't have the LIVE icon, so maybe it isn't. Maybe the eleeite wanna have their dose of Superstar fever also, hmm...notice this is one of the few large-scale 'national' performance event that doesn't have a minister or two to grace the event.

The only reason i hope the kelvin doesn't win is because i know if he does, almost the whole of singapore will bitch about it tonite, tml morning at work, and for weeks and months after, saying he won out of sympathy. typical singaporeans man....and i fear the Singapore Association for the Blind may get vandalised...

man...lianhe wanbao and lianhe zaobao are gonna have a heyday if Kelvin wins...and since EPL hasn't really heated up yet, i guess alot of money are gonna change hands tonite.....

Facets of Singapore

A weird nation where there are many more finalists, much more buzz, supporters, media coverage, scandals for Kelly and Kelvin(2 aspiring superstars), than the election of the President of the Republic of Singapore.
