My Singapore Girl

Her traditional baju kebaya, a glimpse into the traditional custom
One of simplicity yet rich in culture and heritage
One that is not tranished by the modern opulence
One of gentle charm
One of genuine concern

A smile that oozes out understanding
My singapore girl epitomizes all quality asian .

Soon to be lost in transition
Into yet another poster girl
Soon only memories are what is left

Nay, I dun suppose Singapore Girls will ever die. It's one of our national icons.

But I can't help but feel something "degrading" about the image of Singapore Girls as portrayed by the mass media, if I may say so. It caters to the western nation of what an Asian girl should be: demure, domesticated and submissive. Not exactly flattering, I must add.

Hi Chris
I still think women esp asian should has some finesse in dressing and in character. Being charming does not equate to submissive.
