A lot of people are going on about our friends from China. They come, they take our jobs etc…

I have absolutely no problems with Chinese people who come to our country to find a better life for themselves.  They work hard, they work for less, they do BETTER work.  Gee… as an employer I find that a bit of no-brainer.  Singaporeans are seriously spoilt. We’ve had it too good for too long and perhaps a little spoon-fed when we’re growing up and now we don’t really know how to fight for what we want. (Or perhaps we don’t even know what we want!)

Anyway, our local beer aunties are finding their livelihood on the line because of younger, prettier beer ladies.  Get in line sistahs! Welcome to the world of showbiz.  What’s crucial perhaps, is not so much the fact that you’re aging, but I guess it’s about what you do with yourself as you’re aging. 

Having said that, I do acknowledge the fact that the Kopitiam industry would not have been an area of concern for these ‘aunties’ as it seemd to be totally their ‘di pan’. (territory)

Time to look at sprucing up the community calendar with new courses at our local community centre.

“BEER LADY 101″, “HOW TO LOOK LIKE CHINA-GIRLS” or “THE DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM IN LIBRARIES”.

Meanwhile, for those we really love their beer so much and want to lie in it as they go meet their maker, here’s a guy who’s already done so with his favourite beverage in Chicago.

In our Fun Poll today where we asked if you preferred China Girls or Beer Aunties, looks like all is not lost for our favourite aunties. 40% of listeners still preferred our local ladies. What do you think. You can contribute your ideas on www.stomp.com.sg

Meanwhile those of you wondering about the Marie Digby Showcase this Friday 9 May at Velvet Underground and have won tickets AND ARE UNDER 18, unfortunately, you’re going to have to pass the tickets onto someone else. Apologies for that. Although if you’ve won in the contest, you still get the CD and poster but you will not be allowed to enter the area for the showcase.

Thanks again for your support of the show and the station. Go tell a friend!
