Foreign visitors would probably find this quaint Singlish phrase while cycling around Ubin.
I am not sure where it comes from, probably borrowed from Chinese language. I don’t speak Cantonese, but the recent Crazy woman misses flight video sensation provides some clues.
Back to the story. Leong Kiat, the owner of the house where the sign is located is a very friendly person. But at that time in 1999, many homes in Ubin were being demolished. I was trying to record as many disappearing landmarks with the early digital cameras like Sony Mavica FD71. Here was the original sign before it was painted over with a catchy slogan from Sprite. Some scouts noticed the change and offered to paint back the old sign as it has been their favorite landmark for a long time.
Lets hope it stays this way.
