Nats Theories on Life #1: Skinny Singaporeans
Each time I go to Singapore, I am astounded at how short the people are, and how strong the skinny arms are that are shoving me around. But, I have figured out the sad truth behind why Singaporeans are so skinny. Its very scientific, so it must be true:
Singaporeans live in Singapore (duh), which has a very hot and humid climate. This humid climate means that their bodies never crave water – they can just absorb it from the atmosphere. Hence, their bodies have adjusted, and never ever retain water.
However, in Sydney, we have a hot dry climate. Our bodies are ALWAYS craving water, and we have learnt to store it everywhere (back of our arms, thighs, tummy, side of face, neck rolls). We are always going to be fatter than the standard Singaporean.
Sad, but true.

tonee - you ALWAY bring up that stupid survey. Does the humidity make your kukujiao shrivel?
I know a friend that used to be BIGGER than me and she went over to singapore for a few years and came back as thin as a singaporean!! I think it's a mental disease - some brainwashing government policy! And the reason the birth rate is so low is because they are too skinny to reproduce...
I also got question - if the climate in malaysia is similar to singapore why are the girls in malaysia bigger than the singaporeans?! Is it the food?!

hahaha... you guys are not far from wrong. Apparently the singaporean government has also introduced a "Keep Healthy" program. Basically all the fat kids in primary school have to go to extra PE classes after hours... My 11 yr old cousin is already obsessed about eating too much, and being too fat... sad...
