title:
I am sure all of you heard the National Day Song There's No Place I'd Rather Be by now, correct? Before I move on to my second part of the post, let me show all of you the lyrics of the song (before I move on, I would like to clarify that the lyrics are completely from my memory, so if any parts are wrong, I really apologise for that.):
I've walked the streets of Cairo and Bombay, I've seen the neon signs on ole Broadway. I've climbed the Eiffel Tower, The Great Wall in one hour. Experienced sweet and sour, but that's okay. Seen Hollywood, the sunsets in LA. The London Bridge, Big Ben, The Thames, UK. I've crossed the River Kwai, yeat still I don't know why. I think of you each night and every day. There's no place I'd rather be, You'll always be a part of me. And even though, I've roamed the world. It's still my home I long to see. This is where my family, And my friends grew up with me. So I'll cross the skies, and sail the sea, To be where I, wanna be. 'Cos there's no place I'd rather be!
Right? So, if you are an avid listener of YES 93.3FM like me, you'l have heard the parody of this song i.e. in Chinese version:
你说要去PARIS 我听成PASIR RIS 长城有魅力 也很吃力 要爬上铁塔 非常EXPENSIVE 其实SENTOSA 会更便宜 这是美丽的天地 我的家就在这里 去到外地 我才发现 原来这里最干净 这里也有PULAU UBIN 要骑脚车也可以 你要很小心 别像周崇庆 不然少了四颗TEETH 这是美丽的天地 我的家就在这里 从JURONG EAST 到 PASIR RIS TAXI BUS 和 MRT 这是美食的天地 有很多好吃东西 LAKSA CHAR KWAY TEOW 和那 LOR MEE 不满意有云吞MEE
还有SATAY 和福建MEE… Ah yes, ain't that funny now? Seriously, I hope something like that coms out for National Day next year... Regards, Woon Wei (the spacing is screwed)
