Da-Dum (Theme notes from Law & Order)
You know you’re deprived when you get way too excited to see a copy of The Straits Times on primetime television in America. Even if it was for half a millisecond. Singapore and oddly enough, the “Royal Orchid Hotel”, figured prominently on tonight’s episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Yes, we were mentioned in the course of a murder investigation, but I loved the fact that we weren’t exoticized or linked to the words “chewing gum ban”. Isn’t it sad that I am uber sensitive to how our tiny island is portrayed that I celebrate every little non-judgemental reflection of Singapore?
