Mmm...these are some of the moments I feel so proud to be a Singaporean. Went to catch Dim Sum Dollies's History of Singapore. MY GOSH! It was soooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooood. *faints* I was laughing almost non stop. It was so colloquial, so tied to memories of growing up and quintessentially Singaporean. It was great fun just to laugh at ourselves. Some parts are actually quite poignant too. Selena is a genius - how she manages to script in things of the present and link it to the past. So much of our past never really went away actually... it is just resurfacing as different forms now. An 'ang moh' will not understand or enjoy this play as much (unless he/she grew up here and understands dialects)... the "market" for such plays may be small but it makes me feel special actually... that no one else in the whole wide world can appreciate all this... except us... "We are Singapore, we are Singaporeans..." I wanted to give a standing ovation, but I'm too Singaporean for once... to stand up.
*A BIG SATISFIED PROUD SMILE* *GROUP HUG(SINGAPOREANS ONLY), ANYBODY?*
