[AMA] I am a Singaporean Woman

[takashi]

of course, Claire is a real woman in real life, who in their right mind would pretend to be woman in their unreal life

I know lah there is a 50 50 chance that claire is a real char bor so u all suddenly become so polite.

If this "Claire" were a real woman in real life, I would dedicate this song (from the 1970s) to her:

[video=youtube;eAKInjg66fY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAKInjg66fY[/video]

Clair, the moment I met you
I swear I felt as if something
Somewhere had happened to me
Which I couldn't see

And then the moment I met you again
I knew in my heart that we were friends
It had to be so it couldn't be no
But try as hard as I might do

I don't know why you get to me
In a way I can't describe
Words mean so little
When you look up and smile

I don't care what people say to me
You're more than a child, oh Clair
Clair

Clair, if ever a moment so rare
Was captured for all to compare
That moment is you in all that you do
But why in spite of our age difference
Do I cry each time I leave you

I feel I could die
Nothing means more to me
Than hearing you say
I'm going to marry you
Will you marry me, Uncle Ray?"
Oh Clair, Clair

Clair I've told you before don't you dare
Get back into bed can't you see that is late
No you can't have a drink
Oh alright then, but wait just a bit

While I in an effort to baby sit
Capture my breath what there is left of it
You can be murder at this hour of the day
But in the morning tonight will seem a life time away
Oh Clair, Clair
​

Dear Charlie99, may I ask, do you REALLY think this "Claire" is a REAL woman in REAL life? :p

of course, Claire is a real woman in real life, who in their right mind would pretend to be woman in their unreal life

If this "Claire" were a real woman in real life, I would dedicate this song (from the 1970s) to her:
​

Long, you are pretty humorous in your response. Cool guy, I like

Takashi, I just listened to the song. Nice song. Never knew it existed. Surprising that none of those guys who went after me previously in my life send me this song. Thank you

 

[Claire]

I like the fact that you handle it well. Indeed, my kind of lady... you exude class.

Thank you kulgai. I am not in my teeny years nor am I in my twenties who get easily offended by such taunts. I am already in my near mid 30s, and some might even say, "left behind on the shelves". So really no worries

Chootchiew, it is perfectly normal for men to have flirting instincts. If a man doesn't, I worry that he might be a gay, though I seriously have nothing against them choosing to be gay. In fact, I get along well with some of my male friends who are gay, simply because they can understand me and my thoughts better.

As for my points, I am not really sure how it works here. Charlie added me some and an unnamed stranger (lurker?) added some.

Nobody can beat a sinkie women. Multi lingual, multi talented, but unappreciated by many because they cannot cook and do housework and take care of the kids. Despite the new modern era, men still thinks women are slaves bound to be a home maker, not an independent individual.

Syed, I can cook very well. I just hate washing the dishes. I can be a home maker if the situation requires. Please do not look down on Singaporean women in general. Singapore society has changed over the years. I look at some of my girlfriends who are married. They do juggle their role as an employee and home maker very well with the help of either their parents or their maids.

Cost of living is high in Singapore, so let's not underestimate the need for women to go to work. Girls like myself and my friends gone through the education system as well. So it is only right that we also contribute to total household income.

And you haven't found the way to any man's heart? Unbelievable :o:o:o

I am not sure if the men that I have previously dated wanted me to cook. If they do, they certainly did not convey such desires

Everything I do is above board, nothing under the table

Everything I do is over the counter.

Am pretty sure you'll get a beeline now if you'd offer to cook for us

I am sure you are overrating the need for a man to have a woman who knows how to cook. Singapore is unlike London. All you need to do is to get out of your home, there is always a kopishop or a nearby hawker centre, if not a restaurant.

Having said that, I pick up my cooking skills from my mother and grandmother (when she was still around). So, cooking has never been a problem for me. Washing dishes is a problem, I must admit. :(

U pangsai over the counter also ?

Hi Over, there is no need to be depressed about GE. Life goes on, and I am glad you are feeling better.

Thank you very much, Claire. Yes, life goes on, and I believe that in the words of MLK, "we will overcome someday".

Have a good day, Claire!

She must look like a cross between the 2 famous ladies of SG.
Whore Jinx and sis in law

Term yourself left behind on the shelves is just a consolation to yourself.

In truth, your COE has expired and cannot be renewed. So the scrap yard, you go.

It's afterall, your own doing. Don't blame the males or the society! Hahahahahaha

Pardon me. I have not in anyway nor in any of my posts (as far as I can recall) insinuated that I blame men.

I am happy about who I am, what I am and what I do. Just like men who prefer to do it their way, I believe I can do it my way as well. So, please do not extrapolate your arguments to suit your necessity to generalise incessantly that Singapore women are "all the same kind".
