If anyone has questions about the economic history of Singapore, starting tomorrow, please save some Google bandwidth and direct them at me. I know more about Singapore than C.M. Turnbull or John Clammer could ever dream of knowing. Every ebb and flow of Singaporean economy is understood by me, complete with comparisons to the more popular economic

*scratch head* Second Singapore reference this week on my friends list. Why on earth did you pick to write a paper about my motherland?

[astrochris]

Haha, because it's a fascinating economic case study! You guys have been very interesting to read, and the paper wasn't as painful as I thought it would be, so thank you for your interesting past!

I also know more about Lee Kuan Yew than...again, anyone, really.

Did you go to Japan as some point? Maybe over winter break?

Singapore is an evil capitalist conspiracy. Or something like that. Plus it's expensive, and the Singaporean Borders has all the roleplaying books jumbled up.
Nothing good can come from a country like that.

[astrochris]

The former might be true -- except for the conspiracy part, because the government is very open about whatever evil it might do (massive censorship, etc...)

Haha, go to the Chapters in Ottawa, next to the Famous Players movie theatre. All books are in order there, even roleplaying ones.

You live in...the Phillipines? Pretty close to Singapore, I guess.

How many Singaporeans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

[parelle]

Screw? Sex? What?
*thud*

[Singaporeans don't have sex. And need reality shows to help]

[astrochris]

None, Singapore has reached such a high level of technological consumerism, according to Walt Rostow's stages of economic development, that all lightbulbs pop out of the box and screw themselves in.

Sorry, what's the answer?
