Oh, did I forget to mention that I thought the article in last Sunday’s papers about American-born Chinese men in Singapore was absolute crap?
I mean fluff is ok, but fluff of such nature is silly especially in a national newspaper. I wouldn’t have minded so much if it had appeared in a tabloid. It made Singaporean women seem so desperate for these ABCs.
My guess is that in a couple of weeks’ time there’ll prob be different write-ups on the Australian-born Chinese, the British-born Chinese and the Canadian-born Chinese.
To be fair to this group of men, the article was somewhat biased. Only five men who have all appeared in ads and TV shows before were featured. You would think that all the ABCs who make their way here only work in the entertainment industry. And one or two of them were rather smug when asked how they compared to Singaporean men. Said something like they are more interesting to the local men blah blah blah. Yah, like whatever lah! They can go and live in that illusion if that makes them feel better.
Anyway, I’m not impressed by these ABCs featured.
