Gee, I just read shuen's entry and it is also about cockroaches! Cool, great minds think alike *grins* I wonder if cockroaches are the latest fad? If Singapore were to choose an insect for national symbolism, I think the cockroach would be nice. It represents the resolve of Singaporeans, the ability to soar high (to success), intelligence and might of our small country and the ugliness of Singaporeans (it looks real ugly anyway and since Singaporeans have an ugly side to them such as kiasuism, I think it is really appropriate).

I am actually cringing at the thought of having a cockroach to symbolize the typical Singaporean. Gross but I guess that's the best insect I can think of. I definitely will not choose the lizard coz it's slimy, scaley and climbs around like spiderman.

Enough talk about these insects, I don't wana lose my appetite for lunch :)
