when one thinks of ah bengs and ah lians..what image do one conjure in one's minds? for me it's him and her:
okay, to give them credits, they are the better-looking ones..but in my opinions they are still carry the lianish and bengish style...and maybe they do have talents in singing and dancing and song-writing and whatsoever..but they are still my icons for ah bengs and ah lians...stumbled upon this: CAB and somehow, i have some thoughts...
actually i have no qualms against ah bengs and ah lians...in fact i think ah bengs and ah lians are better friends..not that i have any as friends...but i would think that they are very chivalrous...always there for their friends and never despising or forsaking them under any circumstances..this is the kind of support that a true friend should give at any circumstances..in my opinion that is...so somehow, i guess everyone of us do behave and think like an ah beng or ah lians in some way or another...and hope that our friends display that quality when we need them... in fact, i belive each of us have an beng or ah lian hidden deep down inside us...some just let it out and some decided to lock them in...
actually, for me, i've never really encountered a true-blue ah lian or ah beng...i came from rather good schools and those so-called ah bengs and ah lians in my school are only mediocre when put beside a real one...not sure if that's a blessing in disguise..but i think it would be a good experience to really get to know one...come to think of it..i remembered i had a friend back in secondary school..and i think her name is Elaine...she looked and behaved like one..but she's not one at all...there was this time..a group of us were hanging out at macdonald's...and don tknow what happened..suddenly a group of TKGS girls came to our table and said something about going outside to settle matters....*laughs* at that moment i was bewildered..as i didnt even notice them..but it turned out that this Elaine was giving them "the stare" which caused the TKGS girls to be unhappy with us...*laughs* anyhow, Elaine got really scared and was cowering in fear behind us when she's the one who sort of started the trouble...then to scare the girls, i went out to make a call at the public phone to pretend that i'm calling my "gang" but in actual fact, i think i called my grandmother to tell her i'm coming home soon...hahahaha! you see, as most ah lians speak hokkien and i speak hokkien to my grand mother...i decided to sound more convincing...*laughs* anyway, nothing happened and we just went home..with Elaine muttering continuously about how scared she was and blah blah blah...soooooooo hilarious!
fashion-wise, in what positions are we given the right to stereotyped the way ah bengs and ah lians dress? why do some idiots simply love to ostrasize the way ah bengs and ah lians dress? they are social icons...something which is uniquely singapore! *laughs*what's wrong with sporting green and blue streaks on their bleached hair, multiple ear-holes, mutiple tatoos, extremely short skirts, extremely tight tops, matching bright yellow with fushia.. actually in my opinions, ah lians and ah bengs basically dress like the japanese....very out-of-the-world and flamboyant..can be nice but not my style...if we can think that the japanese are the fashion leaders, why cant we say the same for the ah bengs and ah lians?

musically, in singapore, we define ah beng music as techno, trance and house...but after a conversation with my USA colleague, it seemed to me that they define their ah beng music as RnB, hip-hop and rap - they called it the black music...what a contrast! over here, we think that people who listen and dance to RnB, hip-hop and rap as cool dudes and the westerners have a totally opposite thinking! *laughs* so the next time, whoever called me an ah lian when i say Groove Coverage rocks is an idiot! haha! but frankly speaking, i dont think they rock..but i do like some of their songs..and also i like floorfilla's anthems! however, i really cannot stop laughing when i see an ah beng or ah lian dance...they have such synchronized and creative moves that reminds me of the singapore workout! simply dig watching them move with such grace...
very sadly, i seriously think that we shouldnt define certain cars that are really cool to be an ah beng car...that day, someone mentioned that he's going to buy a WRX and immdiately, the reaction from his friends were.." if you're going to get that car, we're not going to talk to you ANYMORE " what's wrong with WRX? look at this:
it's such a nice WRX...even our Singapore Traffic Police are using it...and what's wrong with "zhnging" cars to make them look nicer? what's wrong with having GT-wings, gold sport rims, lower suspension, body kits and whatsoever on cars just to make them look sporty and cool? in my opinions, it's really damn cool to have modified cars and engines...i love the sound that a modified car make when the driver is changing gears...haha! too bad i'm an horrible manual driver...maybe i could modified my car to produce that sound whenever my car reaches a certain speed...haha! anyhow we have to give credit to the ah bengs who are able to drive a WRX STI...becuase they dont come cheap ya....
