Do you read it out of habit (the “bread-coffee-newspaper” daily routine)? Because you really want to know about what’s happening so you can do something about it (you are the “activist" type)? Do you read it because you don’t want to be the last to know if something big happens and even the vegetable seller in the market knows about it (kiasu-type)? Or do you read it for entertainment (i.e. vs. watching TV or listening to the radio)?
I think it’s probably a bit of a mix of each… anyway, I found the papers thoroughly entertainment yesterday … first, there’s the “Joo Chiat Wayang” thing (otherwise known as “The Everitt Road Show” – admittedly, I would have gone to see what’s happening as well (just like the rest of the other 100 kay-poh people) just for the heck of it.. haha…. Makes you really wonder what’s up with the Chan family…It’s rather silly but I’m definitely tuning in daily as long as the local press keep reporting on them… then there was this other random story about a football match that ended up with a 149-0 score when one of the teams started to score their own goals to show their protest against their coach… and then this article about “competitive eaters who want to be known as athletes” for their “refinement of the skill of eating”… frankly, I find this most bizarre, especially when they mentioned this guy “inhaling food through his nostrils” and they said that is “the mark of a champion” urgh!… I’ll rather enjoy food slowly… check out pics from last night’s haunt at geylang food paradise…
