I Live in Singapura

These are the lyrics to a song about Singapore, sang to the tune of "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel. It was performed by a local comedian - Hossan Leong, using Singlish at its finest! Funny stuff!

Sang nila, utama. Saw a lion, alamak.
Name the village Singapura. Then run very far.
Years later, Ang Mor came. Stamford Raffles was his name.
Posed for statues very nice. We kenna colonize.
Singapura very strong. Big guns, all pointing wrong.
Japanese, came on bikes. Invade us from our backside.
War is over, Ang Mor back. Singaporeans no respect.
Commies come, make a fuss. Singapore independence!

Chorus:
I live in Singapura. It's not perfect living but at least it's interesting
I live in Singapura. 'Though it's kind of crazy, we win other country

Sitar-istas

On the way to meet up with friends for a halloween dinner (was that at the Marina?), Chai and I took  the undergound connectors from Suntec to the Esplanade. This is where we chanced upon this sitar group who was holding a free concert to a small audience. Sweet.
