“..Christmas in Singapore..is celebrated by almost no one.” I stumbled over this Wikipedia entry some days ago and thought it would be a joke, however, the article is still online and now I feel like sharing it with you. Please read below definition of “Christmas in Singapore”, its.. weird.

Some called this years ZoukOut the best evening they had in Singapore (in 3 years) some were major disappointed, where minds split what is left after all, are memories of a wild night, a record 27.000 people, DJs, sand, babes and drinks!

How long was I waiting for the day when annoyance, inconsideration and total misbehavior in public events such as cinema shows and theater plays would get officially acknowledged and addressed by the Singapore government. That day has come. Praise the lord of durians!

I got me an ice cold beer, jumped on my sofa and switched on the TV. *zoong* Then… I cannot remember anything. I woke up the next morning with scratch marks around my eyes and ears. What had happened?

On my flight back from Europe, where I was roaming around the last 2 weeks, I was nicely seated in between a notorious Scottish gentleman who wouldn’t stop ordering whiskey and a notorious teenager who wouldn’t stop playing “Space Invaders” with full volume on. So what to do?

Exactly, I watched “Borat” three times in a row and after the last “sexy time” I decided to do an experiment. Having watched “Bruno” back in Europe already, I would watch it once more in Singapore, just to check what you guys will never get to see in the cinema, here is the result!
