[swing swyn swang,swine suen]

An old friend once wrote something abt the names of the finalists of Miss Universe Singapore 2005. I laughed at his entry.

After seeing the who who and who finalists on TV, I am beginning to wonder in awe how in the world can someone come up with a name like Swyn. How do u pronounce it? Swang? Swine? Suen? The Ang Mohs are notoroious for mis pronouncing names. Muslims (moo-su-lims) became "masklims" What a horrible pronounciation! Imagine the compere on stage with billions of people watching the event, Miss "Swine XXX" from Singapore.

We will be the laughing stock of the world. People who understand what swine means will choke on their own saliva.

And wtf is linderrrrrrrrr? Is that supposed to make a common name like linda to be more outstanding so that people will notice you? Blysssss? Well at least this is not that bad. Linderrrrrr, Swine I mean Swyn.

Some of the gals are UGLY. How can someone so ordinary and so plain represent SG? Even if they are not in the finals or whatever..where is the standard to represent SG in this international event. No looks,no boobs and possibly no brains.

The only one who stand out is prob Rebecca lim. The rest are so...typical Uni bimbos.

Sorry, I have no likings for NUS bimbos.

To me, NUS graduates are considered the cream of the crop. To me, they are nothing except those scholars. I have seen countless NUS graduates who do not know how to use a computer, even some of the simplest tasks. To me, they just have the luxury to stride thru an easy life without a need to work hard as they have a ticket called the DEGREE from NUS.

Well if they are humble and have a nice character, fine. Worse some NUS grads behave as if they are from Harvard or MIT. Please loh, the entire streets are filled up with NUS NTU grads like themselves. What's the big deal with ur degree?

Oke put this aside.

A MP said in a NTU session, he mentioned something like, if we were to surive in the next 20 yrs, we cannot copy what others do. We mst invent,innovate blah blah. In other words, be creative. Creativity has very broad terms. To me being creative is to produce something different and different with substance.

Creative's TV ads promoting its plasticky bricks are not "creative" They wanted to be different but they are different with no concepts.

HP's ads are my long time faved and so is the Heineken beer's ad. Can Singapore ever produce something of that standard? Here's a clue : If shit like Pokka's "ECCENTIAL, AAAAAAAhhhhh~!" can be a TV-ad. This spells the end of the local creative scene in terms of producing international standard TV-Ads or whatever.

Still I love Singapore for its stability and food.
