Once upon a time in Singapore, there lived a happy
couple, Mr & Mrs Ng with their 3 lovely triplet
daughters; Elaine, Ena & Ella.
The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper
fashion and when they reached 20, their parents
thought it was time to get them married. So, the
parents found them the most suitable " leng chais" (
handsome guys ). They got married and were preparing
to set-off on their honeymoon.
As "concerned" (more like "kay-poh") parents, Mr &
Mrs Ng were curious about their daughters'
first-night experience. So, before the daughters
went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs Ng told
them......" Your father and I want to know about
your 1st night encounters and whether you were
satisfied. Write a letter to us, but so as not to
raise your husbands' curiosity...you all must use a
code-name to describe your experiences".
So, the excited daughters were off.
A week passed. Mr & Mrs Ng got the first letter. It
was from Elaine. They opened the letter and found
the word "STANDARD CHARTERED". They immediately took
the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered
advertisement. "Ah! here it is!", exclaimed Mr. Ng.
The motto for Standard Chartered was.... "BIG,
STRONG & FRIENDLY" Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy.
A week later, they got another letter. This time it
was from Ena. The content was simple. "NESCAFE". So,
again they took the neswpaper and looked for the
Nescafe ad. "Ah! here it is. "NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL
THE LAST DROP". Again, Mr & Mrs Ng beamed with joy.
Another week passed. A month passed. And another.
There was still no letter from Ella. The Ngs became
worried. Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled
and could hardly be read,
but Mrs. Ng managed to figure it out. The code-name
was "SINGAPORE AIRLINES".
Why Singapore Airlines? Mr.Ng rushed to the nearest
store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages
frantically. "Ah! Here it is!" Mrs. Ng grabbed the
page and read aloud.
Before she could finish .THUMP!!!...she fell off her
chair. The motto was ... "7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6
TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP".
