ITS TIME to KISS KISS, KISS goodbye to goody-two shoes image, cos everyone's a bad boy, and like it or not, its thriving in Singapore!

Gone are the days when Singapore was a conservative country where kissing in a corner of a staircase was DEEPLY frowned upon, and hugging in public would subject one to public umbrage, wearing skimpy clothes made people think you weren't taught well.

Now, things are completely different. Kissing in buses and MRTs are everyday sights, people don't see anything wrong with showing their infatuation for each other in public areas, in fact, that's the norm now! Hugging in public is as disapproved of as someone who knocks into you while rushing elsewhere, the negative feelings are at most, a mild irritation thatgoes off almost immediately after it comes, young people even see not even the slightest wrong in it, and are the quickest to mimic the intimacy they see on the streets and in public. Nowadays, skimpy clothes are more common than "upright good clothes", short skirts that are sometimes not visible when a girl wears a slightly longer shirt, people tend to show more skin on top when in the past, baring of a bit more skin than usual would create a commotion, now, there is no reaction, it is in fact a tad boring, for everybody is baring here baring there.

Something not acceptable in the 1980-90s Singapore but of which i see on a regular basis is that of Passionate KISSING on public transport, teens are the most active participants of these public transport proclamation of love, they kiss and hug, and (sometimes touch)in front of like, fifty pairs of EYES. Nobody dared to even do that in a pitch black cinema, for they feared that while nobody saw them, the walls had eyes, now, however, its the case of the more the merrier, the more people witness their intimate scene, the more acomplished that act would be, for it should their appeal, someone who says Singapore is a conservative country should seriously start looking around and maybe board a train, maybe once those KISSES start flying in right in front of his eyes and many other roving ones. Maybe the reason why some still feel that Singapore is still as conservative is that we are all used to these sights,, and that the absence of it provides a sense of abnormality, and these further emphasises how much Singapore has evolved.

Like many other Asian countries, Singapore is a case of "good girl gone bad", and let's face it, Singapore has followed the world and thrown away its innocence, so its time to KISS goodbye to goody-two shoes image, I mean which country is still that"quiet good little girl"? It is now a rarity, so people who don't like these new influx of "bad behaviour" might have some getting used to to do, because there's no such thing as "goody two shoes" anymore, and at the rate the kisses are flying in at the moment in PUBLIC, there's no sign of it fading away.
