Really wonderfully written. When I think of Singapore Literature, this is what I think of. This captures exactly the spirit of being here in our country.

My only critic would be the unnecessary fat people = mean caricature to describe "Fat Auntie". I thought we have moved past that unnecessary typing for characters and felt like it was simply unnecessary stereotyping.
