Alec, ranting: Every day, I eat the same ta pao¹ local food as everyone else in the office, or I walk out to somewhere like Lau Pa Sat and eat whatever takes my fancy there. But then there’s ONE day, where I just HAPPEN to be eating McDonald’s in the office pantry, and everyone who comes in says “Oh, you don’t like local food?”
Me: But I thought you talk quite a lot about local food with them?
Alec: I do! But it’s like they refuse to believe! We went for a buffet and I didn’t eat wasabi with my sashimi and everyone’s first remark was “Oh, you can’t take spicy food?” GRAAARGH!
Me: Well, why don’t you explain that your girlfriend is local and you eat everything she eats?
Alec: Oh, that’ll be no use. They probably think you’re some SPG anyway.
Me: Haha, they’ll be all like “Oh, you eat cock?”
¹ Takeaway
HA!!!!
I don’t get it. All Singaporean girls are SPGs right? Why would they need to ‘think’ that Michelle’s one? Shouldn’t they already know for a fact?
Hehehe, classic.
Oh Christ!
Erm James, be a good brother and remove this website from the bookmarks on Dad’s laptop. Immediatly please.
This website was EVER on the bookmarks on your DAD’s laptop? WTF??!!!
IMMEDIATELY PLEASE, JAMES.
I don’t want such a charming man (*smiles dreamily*) to think I’m a bad girl!
Hey, it cuts both ways - at my new job, people were shocked that I ate pre-shelled edamame pea-thingies with a spoon.
Am most jealous, by the way - the traders have a video conference with Singapore every morning, and one of the traders has an amazing looking bowl of laksa going cold in front of him. Just so unfair.
oh, i like that one. ;)
Whoops, I really shouldn’t have left this window open when I was using his laptop. Oh well, live and learn.
Benny: No lah, SPGs want a white man who is rich, cool and buff. I want Alec.
Tamara: No need spoon what! I’m scratching my head at that too. Hmm, I think the last time I ate laksa was about 10 years ago. And I live in Katong!
….”Branded SPGs (Sarong Party Girls) because of their conspicuous lack of attire and aggressive approach to white men.” The Sunday Times
Sigh, well I can certainly identify with the latter part of this definition.
But my aggressive approach is to everybody, not just white men. I’m very fair-minded that way.
Your writing reminds me of someone I knew in Uni. Did you happen to study in UK..in Nottingham?
Ignore previous post. I just read “All The Mich News That’s Fit To Print” and found out you did LLB in UCL. You remind me of a friend by the same name who did LLB in Notts. So pls ignore. ;)
As someone who lives by almost all the SPG values that don’t involve regurgitation in order to be thin, or hair straighteners in any fashion, I object to that definition!
Well of course you wouldn’t need hair straighteners, you have straight hair!
Funny stuff! Haha! :)
