And so I'm on my daily TIBS 980 pilgrimage to the office and I have those out-of-the-blue random thoughts... (we all have them... right? or am I the only one with wild random thoughts?)
The bus was passing by the LTA Hampshire office and somehow my thoughts drifted to the Istana (nearby Farrer Park mah..). Then I thought of our country's Presidents.
Our only surviving president is the current head of state, President Nathan.
Then I think of the pronunciation of Nathan.
Is it Nathan as in "Nah-dern", or Nathan as in "Nay-thern".
So funny to call our head of state President "Nay-Thern".... sounds too angmo-fied.
Yet it's so damn UNIQUELY SINGAPOREAN to call him President "Nah-dern".
Must be culturally sensitive lah. "Nah-dern" is more authentic in this part of the world.
Then another random thought...
What if our current Prez is IT-savvy... what would his name be? Ever thought of that?
Too bad. Israel already coined that name liao.... for their own leader - Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Don't hit me. It's only my wild random thoughts.... ;)
