i saw this headline on the front page of the lifestyle section of the straits times i just had to respond: putting the china back in chinatown. all i can say is at the rate things are going, they might as well change the name of singapore into chinatown...the other thing that i nearly vomitted blood over was how they came up with the name of merly. already knew how they came up with the rubbish name of lyo (lion of the youth olympics, how original) quite a long time ago. i thought merly was just a short form and cute name for merlion, but no... 'mer' means she's from the sea, 'l' and 'y' represents 'liveliness' and 'youthfulness'. like seriously! everything must be deconstructed to represent something! like really. like wha-
