Singapore Airlines There once lived in Singapore a happy couple named Mr. & Mrs. Ng, who had three pretty daughters -- triplets named Elaine, Ella, and Emma, whom the couple raised in the prim-and-proper way as the Chinese do. So, at age 20, the three daughters were still virgins. Finally, as the proper age for marriage approached, Mr. & Mrs. Ng hoped and prayed that all three would each marry not only the most suitable leng chais [handsome guy] but fellows who were also financially stable and intelligent, and who came from good families. The couples hopes and prayers were answered, when each daughter got engaged to her handsome prince. After the triple wedding ceremony and reception, as the daughters and their respective mates were about to leave for their honeymoon, the concerned (more like kay poh) parents, Mr. & Mrs. Ng, wanted to be sure that each daughter got the best first night experience. So, before the daughters took-off for their respective honeymoon destinations, Mrs. Ng called all the three together and told each of them, Your father and I would very much like to know about your first night encounter, and to make sure that you were fully and properly satisfied. So, please write us a letter. But so as to be proper about it and not to arouse any suspicion from your husband, you must be very discreet in describing your experience. . . The three new brides each promised that they would, and off they went. After a week, Mr. & Mrs. Ng got the first letter. It was from Elaine. When they read the letter, it simply said in capital letters: STANDARD CHARTER. The couple wondered what it meant. One day, for some odd reason, Mr. Ng, who never before bothered to subscribe to the newspaper got the strange urge to buy one. So, he walked to the nearest newsstand, bought a copy of the paper, came home, sat in his favorite chair, and thumbed through it. In the process, he saw an advertisement for Standard Charter. Ah! This must be it!, exclaimed Mr. Ng excitedly. The Standard Charter motto in big, bold letters read: BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY! Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy. A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Ella. The letter simply said, NESCAFE. Once again, Mr. Ng decided to buy a copy of the newspaper. So, out he went to the nearest newsstand, bought a copy of the local newspaper, came home, sat in his favorite chair, and thumbed through it in search for the Nescafe advertisement. And sure enough, there it was in big, bold letters, the ad read: NESCAFE. . .GOOD TO THE LAST DROP! Mr. & Mrs. Ng winked at each other as they beamed with joy. Another week passed, but there was no word from Emma -- no letter, not even a phone call! Mr. & Mrs, Ng became worried, after all its been three weeks since she and her sisters left. However, at the end of the fourth week, at last, Emmas letter came. Alas! It was scribbled and could hardly be read. But it looked like it said: SINGAPORE AIRLINES For some strange reason, there was no ad in the newspaper about Singapore Airlines that particular week. In desperation and after racking their brains, Mr. Ng came up with the idea of looking at the phone companys Yellow Pages. Flipping through the pages frantically, he finally got to the S section. Ah! Here it is! Mr. Ng exclaimed. But before he could read the ad, Mrs. Ng snatched the phone book and looked at it. Before she could finish reading the ad, she fainted, and fell to the floor with a thud. The Singapore Airlines ad read:. 7 TIMES A WEEK, 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY, NON-STOP!
