A play by Year 3 LaSalle acting students
Was filled with humour, localised context, and updated with contemporary culture and current knowledge.
About Tinder
The superficiality of using looks to determine love
Or maybe it is not about finding love
Though there were successes
Love at first sight. The click. The same frequency.
Putting up private details on dating apps
They never allow you to quit
It's about the data
And statistics
And understanding human behaviour
Pursuit of something
Finding that special someone or something
Even though it's theoretically, logically impossible
It could be a Yeti
Who is thy father
Definitely not a Pontianak
'Cos there are way too many buildings and concrete
The millennials
Emojis everywhere
The government
The constant train breakdowns
Will just be the new norm
The Underground protests
Uber drivers who is not interested in human contact or conversations
He is just an Uber driver
Poetry of mineral water bottles meeting in a lonkang
People stuck to their phones all the time
Controlled by machines without knowing
The Yeti who buys from Ta Bao
Bemoaning the lack of Singaporean myths (this just reminded me of Yishun Devil's Ring, and of course the cow going up HDB lift)
That starving and pain are a given of conceptual freelance artists
Exploring the tunnels of Singapore
Finding true love at the most unexpected places
That finding love is a journey and discover akin to a ride on the MRT
The funny, tacky, crude and sexy pick-up lines
Couples who make eyes at each other and say the most mushy things
Ah Beng Nathan Hartono
Ridiculous sounding surname To-to marrying a To to be a To To-to
It was good, at times insightful though some parts were a tad bit draggy.
