I am a Singaporean | unresistance of the meme
Wrote this some time ago, actually. Never completed it, thanks to the thesis.
---------------------------------
I am a Singaporean.
I am Chinese, and I am Malay. I am also Indian, and indeterminate Caucasian. Because of that, I generally identify myself as Race: Singaporean
I went to the best secondary school in Singapore, and the best junior college, and I still feel a tingle of undeserved, shameful pride about that, despite telling people that Raffles is no big deal and it's really time I stop talking about my high school.
I love the MRT because it divides up the country into easily understood packages. I also hate the MRT for doing just that.
I smile when I want to, and frown when I want to, and hide my face completely when I see the 4 million smile campaign. I can smile, but some stupid government campaign can't bloody make me.
I believe that the government should run a campaign to get people to smile.
I wanted Potong Pasir to stay Opposition, because I'm glad that someone stood up to the government. I'm never going to move there because I want someone else to stand up against the government.
I think it's perfectly fine to drive for an hour just to reach that perfect laksa stall, and I wouldn't do it.
I don't wear red and white anymore.
Malaysians are just like us, except completely crazy, immoral, law-breaking, and possibly having more fun. And the combination of the last two drive me crazy.
I believe in freedom of speech and I also wish that the government could crack down on people whose views I don't like.
I get annoyed when foreigners criticise my country. When foreigners praise it, I assure them there's a lot wrong with it.
I am a Singaporean. Please don't tell anyone.

you did not go to the best school in Singapore! I did.
Well, excuse me, but *we* held first place the ST Top 100 for some 4-6 years running. The Straits Times produced those figures, and I find your questioning of our leading newspapers' reporting very unpatriotic, given their professionalism.
*raspberry*

If you don't believe in rankings, you're not Singaporean! Get out of the country!
