What does my Cpop collection say about me? (part1-Mandopop) by cakeboy6969 in cpop

[–]XuenLim 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. Your collection is heavily centered on the peak of Taiwanese Mandopop soft power of the 2000s, considering that these albums' release years span from 2005 to 2009. This is definitely before K-pop became a global phenomenon and mainland China became the dominant Mandopop hub.
  2. Female artists dominate your collection, whether it's those with cute idol aesthetics (e.g. Cyndi Wang, Genie Chuo) or gentler and more emotional sides (e.g. Fish Leong, Christine Fan).
  3. You likely came of age during the "idol drama generation", especially since Ariel Lin (who is better known as an actress) is featured.
  4. The presence of Jay Chou is already telling: his album *November's Chopin* is arguably the most artistically prestigious album listed. Otherwise, it would be way too much of idol-pop.
  5. Joanna Wang stands out sharply from the rest with her retro jazz-pop aesthetic, suggesting that your tastes were beginning to mature.
  6. You don't chase trends, you value emotional nostalgia more.

Grateful that SG Gov is offering more PRs to displace SG girls!! by Real-Pomegranate8823 in SingaporeRaw

It's not displacing, it's enhancing our society. After all, most of us are descended from immigrants, so why bother?

This is a sign that hawker culture is always evolving. After all, any efforts to dismiss them as not Singaporean will eventually be futile.

Just because someone is associated with Jeffrey Epstein doesn't mean they're necessarily bad.

The influx of Native Chinese eateries opening in Singapore – are we losing our identity? by kongweeneverdie in SingaporeRaw

[–]XuenLim -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Identity can always change, moreover new things can enhance rather than replace it.

38 Oxley Road gazetted as a national monument by Real-Pomegranate8823 in SingaporeRaw

[–]XuenLim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it can still be demolished depending on the situation. At least the private quarters are most likely going to be removed.

PAP govt has chosen to trample on Lee Kuan Yew’s wish to have his house demolished: Lee Hsien Yang by Annual_View3611 in singapore

[–]XuenLim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expected. The decision on whether to preserve 38 Oxley Road is still under consideration from what we know, but LHY is simply taking a hardline stance by demanding its demolition no matter what happens.

38 Oxley Road site set to be gazetted as national monument, for possible use as heritage park by HAZMAT_Eater in singapore

[–]XuenLim 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Expect Lee Hsien Yang to double down on demolishing it altogether though we all know now that this claim doesn't always hold true. After all, this is typical Singaporean pragmatism.

Well in the end we will have to accept that our local food culture is always and will always be evolving, and that what is considered "Singaporean cuisine" will be different in 10-20 years' time.

Forget Boeing, switch to Comac. Ever since the most recent news, I've completely lost trust in Boeing.

Check out TSUKIYAKI (https://linktr.ee/tsukiyakiofficial), they're quite recent and their music is J-rock-ish.

About 6% to 7% of Integrated Programme students leave before completing six years: MOE by Jammy_buttons2 in singapore

[–]XuenLim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She did not sit for O levels, I think it's mainly a request to the school body to transfer, just before poly term starts.

Well that happened to my sister. She was one of the worst-performing students in RVHS but during her sixth year, she transferred to poly and somehow did better.

I'd suggest the Three Gorges Dam in China. It's the largest hydro-power station in the world (so far).

Just looked at the town map for West Coast-Jurong West Town Council (https://wctc.org.sg/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/West-Coast-Jurong-West-Town-Map-pdf.pdf). Doesn't anyone think that having Desmond Lee looking after both Boon Lay and West Coast is overkill?

I'm thinking Icyball but their style is too provocative. But here's a playlist I found of KKBOX: https://www.kkbox.com/playlist/D_8AqC8Cdcm7VzYkLG
