Recently, I was in Singapore for two weeks for work. By the 12th day, I was wishing that I did not have to eat the same complimentary breakfast for the 12th time. However, a humourous article in the newspaper that I was reading helped me to forget that I was having the same breakfast for the 12th time in a row.
From The Sunday Times, March 7 2010, Tay Yek Keak imagines what the Facebook pages of newsmakers might look like. This is part of his write-up.

Kim Yu Na rules the figure skating world after enchanting everyone with her gold medal-winning performance at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Wanna be like her? It takes a lot of practice, you know. Please start by making ice cubes first.
Tell Yu Na she’s gorgeous even at 500 rotations a second
Tell Yu Na your only experience with ice is when you cut no ice with people
Ask Yu Na if you skate around a topic, does that make you an Olympic skater?

Ms Kim, I am Mr Kim. Democratic People’s Republic of Korea welcomes you to perform at our National Stadium. If venue not large enough, you can skate in my backyard.

I heard you are into Mr. Darcy of Pride & Prejudice. Would you like to join our discussion forum about him ? We are currently discussing the kissing scene from the 2005 Pride & Prejudice movie.

Hey Colin, I’m a fan of Mr. Darcy too !! That’s the reason I took up the role of Elizabeth in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice movie. Can I join in the discussion forum as well ?? Btw, I was in that kissing scene …

Don’t forget about our gym class tomorrow. Although I am no Mr. Darcy, I am no stranger to prejudices. There is a rumour going around that I’m gay because of my good looks and flawless complexion. Absolutely not true ! I like flowers over boys :)
