As I was driving up to her house, I drove past this ordinary 2-storey terrace house and there was a "guard house" with a guard in it. A blur looking guard if you ask me. I feel like shouting at him "SHIONG SI MI" but I thought better refrain in case they send me to Sentosa under ISA.
Now, as a patriotic Singaporean, I know who stays where in Singapore.... or so I think I know.
Our MM Lee stays at Oxley Rise. That road is totally out of bounds for non-residents and you could see turk guards (pural) patrolling that road.
SM Goh and PM Lee stays Bukit Timah Namly area.
Our former president Ong stays in Nassim area.
I know Mr Wee Kim Wee stays in the east but dunno where. So immediately I link Wee Kim Wee to that house.
I was thinking "Wah.. not bad... past president also got such benefits."
So I went up to the landlord and after introducing myself, I decided to make small talk.
I always make some small talk to make both parties comfortable.
I ask "wah... nice place you have here". My evergreen opening statement .
She replied "Thanks"
"So, who stays at the house in front with that guard?" Of Course, I already know the answer... but must pretend pretend.
"Oh... our president" She replied matter of fact with a suanning tone like "you dunno meh?"
Damn!! Kenna suan!
In a face-saving defence, I replied "Ah.... Wee Kim Wee."
"No... Our President Nathan!"
End of small talk.
How would I know that our President would only have 1 silly looking guard which is not even a turk, while our Mentor Minister has a "NO ENTRY" Sign at where he stay plus numerous Turks?!?!
