Ok, so let me give insight on what Singaporeans claim they enjoy doing, and contrast it to what they actually ARE doing.
Singaporeans love their food. In fact, they love it sooo much, they never seem to get tired of that lovely plate of char kway teow and will do anything to grab that good bite. But in actual fact, they Eat Too Much.
Then, when it comes to mealtime, we sit down in big groups, and we talk. However, this just means we Talk Too Much.
Of course, there's always the time where we sit down in that VIP corner in a club and we call it 'Chilling out'; where in actual fact, we ain't doing shit.
So that's basically what Singaporeans do. They Eat too much, Talk WAAAYYYY too much and don't do shit about anything. Which kind of explains why a large number of Singaporeans are so unhealthy and also explains why a large number of Singaporean youths cannot make it in the local sports scene and also explains why most people cannot take the idea of prolonged periods of exercise. Simply because of their bloody diet and the culture in which they are situated in.
A Japanese man would say, 'Eat, until you are 80% full, and you will lead a long, fruitful life'
His American counterpart would probably give you his macrobiotic equivalent of the above diet plan stating what you should be eating that would in turn, supercharge your brain and clean out your bowels, leaving you cancer free.
The typical Singaporean would simply say, 'Fuck lah..if it's good, it's good lah! Who cares how much pig lard or you (oil) they put in that? Once it goes in, I shit out, all also still brown what!'
Well, carry on with that mentality and I'd like to come visit you in the hospital; probably being diagnosed with some malignant form of bowel cancer and shit. If you're lucky, your heart would cramp and eventually stop before you die from a heart attack.
So remember, the next time you ask for that plate of prata, "Ask for Less Ghee".
