I would very much like to believe so.
Like many Singaporeans themselves, I enjoy the local food. I love my laksa and chicken rice. I spent my years growing up through the tough education system of Singapore. From the PSLE to the ‘O’ Levels. Like all typical Singaporean teenagers, I lived through my childhood with games like hop scotch, five stones, zero point, catching and “pepsi cola 1 2 3″. I go to places most Singaporean teenagers would go; Orchard, Bugis, and Vivo City! I admit to using sinless Singlish in my everyday conversations. The “leh”s, “lar”s and “lor”s are just so expressive. In the 21st century, average Singaporean teenagers cannot live without the internet. Although I think I can probably do without the internet, I indulge in online facilities like MSN Messenger, blogs, and Friendster! I, like many of my fellow typical Singaporean teenagers, take buses or trains to school because it’s simply the cheapest transport available. Also, although I would hate to admit it, I’m spoilt like the usual Singaporean kids. Throw us into a desert and we may all die there, or just take away electricity, the result is the same.
Ok, but honestly I feel that 90% of why I am a typical Singaporean teenager is because I’m borned into it. Like the rest of us, we have no choice. Anyone who is different is either outcasted or worshipped.
