.. that 99.9% of wee islanders are beyond all forms of redemption:
when loads of wee island birds subject themselves to re-modifcations imaginable to their mugs and trunks, it's clear that they've totally lost the plot.
the reason is simple: they're utterly desperate for male attention, and consequently, some form of relationship to make themselves deemed desirable. and wanted.
a fine example of their non-existent self-worth is the following absurdity from a bint who put herself through a bust enhancement thingy, off a freebie morning daily advert:
".. i used to envy women with attention-grabbing bustlines. they can carry off low-cut tops and the confidence they exude make them the center of attention," said Ms Adora Tan, a 22-year-old marketing executive.
"i long to wear v-necked tops and body-hugging clothes wthout feeling self-conscious..."
.. blah yadda puke ..
.. she has been receiving a lot of admiring looks from both men and women. "not only do i look more womanly in low-cut or clingy tops; i also feel a lot better about myself."
seriously, said amoeba ought to go get her brain checked. if there is one, that is.
as enscribed by the letter b @ May 7, 2004 09:45 AMBut alas! We all have to do it the MOE-way (no slapping on the face with a soft-cover book, notwithstanding), unless one of our parents is a foreigner.

and that oft-used term "book smart". MOE-approved textbooks are bollocks to begin with. so the words book and smart are incongrously paired there.
as blahed by the b @ May 10, 2004 06:22 AMWe're renowned for being exams smart (not street smart, hence the legendary stories of how many wee islanders got ripped off while doing business in China or elsewhere).
"Giving in to societal pressure" is not in the MOE-list of approved examinable curriculum. :P
