"Like Chicago with every speaking bad English, with a Chinese accent."
I find this comment of yours rather amusing. It's a shame you didn't have the opportunity to speak to educated Singaporeans who speak fluent English with real Singaporean accent. I'm not sure which Guide book you referred to before you came here, but I'm sure it did a pretty bad job in providing accurate information about the country and its natives.
I have to say though that us Singaporeans are an enigmatic bunch of people given the different waves of immigrations at different times, and how much British influence we had received over the years.

I have taken a basin bath plenty of times when the well ran dry, but i was in the modesty of home. I cannot fathom not having a piece of cloth to hang between two trees. I have a degree in photography and I know the internal dilemma - should I or shouldn't I? You were right to see the need and courageous to follow through. It is their life. If others are offended by another person's poverty then they should seek EFFECTIVE means of change, preferably starting in their own lives.
