Happy New Year my darlings! I had such a fun time criticizing and mocking the Singapore Countdown performance at Marina Bay! xD Local celebrities made me wonder if it was even vaguely possible for talent scouts to enter Singapore without getting frightened off.
And because I'm feeling rather happy of the end of this disastrous year 2008, I am much obliged to verbally describe the very horrifying, yet surprisingly amusing music performance by Carlsberg's Health ambassador. One thing hun, drinking alcohol and designating yourself as a Health ambassador calls for quite a dramatic irony, don't you think?
So there she was, screaming away in the microphone with a very disturbing rendition and desperate attempt to actually dance without violently shaking her boobs. The guys in the front row were most probably drooling.
Miss Singapore pageant runner-up was no better either. Mag said she had tree trunks for legs. I couldn't agree more.
So that was how I spent my last few minutes of year 2008. Enjoyable, don't you think?
And goodness sake! Tay PH, I actually liked that song, you idiot! You've completely ruined a perfectly heartwarming song with your pathetic, totally out-of-tune singing!
Sister: Are you sure he's actually singing? Me: Yes, that's his voice, I think. Sister: His English so good meh? Me: He graduated from a university you know. Sister: Yeah, but it still doesn't mean he has good English! Me: Doesn't it count from the fact that he passed GP? =.=" Sister: ........
I also enjoyed the fact that Singaporeans are so hopelessly mundane and dispirited, refusing to cheer for the performance (though I can obviously see why) and wearing stoned expression on their faces. Way to go, Singapore, way to show your enthusiasm for year 2009!
The fireworks display was quite an epic ending to the lifeless crowd. And the emo background songs, let's not forget about them.
