What makes me a normal Singaporean teenager?

• I love music. Now which teenager in the world doesn’t love music?
• I think that failure is not an option. With much thanks to our education system.
• I enjoy 5 days of school plus 2 days of weekend parties.
• I hate writing in point form. Yes, I talk in paradoxes.
• I think the world revolves around me. Yes, I talk in paradoxes.
• I love poetry. Whitman and Poe are some of my favourites.Pretty common poets but don’t all of us love them?
• I love my mommy, daddy and my two siblings.
• I love busting loose. R.I.P James Brown.
• I wear old clothes and I hardly go shopping just like the rest of the teenage population.
• I hate crowds. Teens hate them too. They can’t make out with crowds around.
• I’m rebellious. Isn’t every 17 supposed to be? Geez.
• I hate television. It tells lies to your vision. But I still watch MTV like any other teenager.
• I hope they pimp my ride. Wait, I’m too poor to buy my own ride. Xzibit must not pimp my dad’s ride. IT’S NOT FAIR. Oh, my dad doesn’t own a car.
• I lock myself in my room every night to DO my homework INFRONT of my computer
• I have the newest handphone in town. Oh wait, that makes me different.
• I rant about how much I dislike living in Singapore but I still call this place home when I come back from other countries.
• I live in a HDB flat. It’s ok since ALL of us feel like pigeons.

There you go. I’ve said it all. That is what makes me a normal teen in Singapore. And that’s the truth, Ruth.
