Uniquely Singapore

amidst the duntz duntz of last night, i had an epiphany about what is uniquely Singapore.

i was at Mambo last night. and as usual, when they started laying on the cheese, the co-ordinated, pre-determined hand-waving, hip gyrating, lyrics mouthing started. and i commented to Y that perhaps she should learn the moves and bring them back to Loughborough. who knows, she might start a trend there.

that's when the epiphany came.

it won't work in UK now. people there guard their individuality too fiercely. they will refuse to become part of a faceless mob.

but in Singapore. that's different. we are fine with being lemmings, comfortable with being one with the crowd, yet at the same time, trying to inject our own little bit of individuality into the mass orgy of pre-determined choreographed uniformity. it was hilariously funny, yet interestingly educational (not to mention quite fun cos of the really cute girl dancing near us, and the other quite cute girl dancing on the podium...)

i conclude that Mambo night of Zouk in Singapore is truly uniquely Singapore. and so i thought to myself someone should Wikipedia it. so when i got home, i went to Wikipedia and typed in Zouk and Mambo. and what i found out was pretty interesting. completely not what i expected. nonetheless, i still think we should have the uniquely Singaporean versions of Mambo and Zouk as entries in Wikipedia. what do you think?
