I suppose it's a compliment when some of my friends in Sydney said I'm very un-Singaporean. I never really found out the exact reasons for their saying so, but perhaps it's because I can talk about other things apart from:
1) HDB (Housing Development Board) flats which are government flats that many would-be married couples want to buy
2) ROM-ing (Registry of Marriage). That's just a Singaporean term to mean registering one's marriage in order to get a damn HDB flat.
3) Gym memberships - These days, everyone seems to be a member of the California Fitness Centre.
4) Who's going out with whom; who knows who; whose ex- is whose ex-; - The circle is just tttooooo small in Singapore. The Six Degrees of Separation theory runs so scarily true in Singapore that I reckon it's become incestuous.
So those were the main topics of last night's dinner which I had with some friends. I won't be seeing them again any time soon that's for sure! The food-loving DimSumDolly cannot stomach such talk, sorry.
