a 5c production - singapore dreaming. awaited with much anticipation only to be met by disppointment. disappointed in the sense that they made the show so real in the sense its "singapore-like" that it becomes sarcastic.
another point which kept me complaining away during the show was how our asian values were being projected in the show. if i were to be a foreigner whose watching show, it'll be illusioned, very illusioned indeed.
one example, the show depicts that we asians need alot of "face", cannot let go of our pride, even till the sense that it includes jail sentences.
i shan barb on too much but theres still this thing which i cant really accept. are we singaporeans really always complaining? complain that money not enough, complain that ppl are urinating in the lifts? and in the midst of complaining, we nv actually decide to step out of our comfort zone and own the problem? complaining that the degree holders eventually become our boss and order us around while one can always get a degree and compete with them on the same level.
complaining that parents didnt give enough, and even expect parents to give and provide thou one has already gone into adulthood with a family and job.
but one thing to take note - - we are asians! yellow skinned, short with only a 5 inch. that is our roots, our background. our style and culture should nv be looked upon as a disgrace.
stay asian all my yellow skinned friends
