  Singaporeans will queue for ANYTHING. Sometimes even when they have no idea what they're queueing for.

  Reminds me of article in new paper the other day on folks buying 4D with SM Goh's age/birthdate/whatever. Singaporeans are bloody serial gamblers. The casino debate was a big joke to me.

  Sometimes, when they get money. Some of the pawned items have sentimental value. I've heard of wedding rings being pawned. There are quite a lot of poor families in my neighbourhood.

  How do I get up the pole?
  
  
  Drive-Thru.. sure!
  
  
  These stairs are empty, I'll just park here.
  
  
  There's a better parking spot there! I gotta get there first!
  
  
  I think I'll block this tunnel.
  
  
  I'll park in this hole here.
  
  
  If the birds can, my car can!
