1) Island of so few beauties. Can you make sense of this phrase?

2) Island peopled by so few beauties.

3) Island inhabited by so few beauties.

The first one is poor grammar, no doubt about it, and was constructed by yours truly.

NB: Inhabit isn't an appropriate word here. It's mainly used in formal or scientific contexts. In everyday language, peepur usu say
someone lives in a place.

It's factual knowledge that S'pore girls don't do very well in the looks department. The great majority aren't exactly ugly ducklings; they're plain Janes, to put it politely. Even local beauty queens have been described by many observers as just eye candy, nothing to shout about.

Yeah, there's nothing to be proud of, given that SG beauty contestants representing the country in past international beauty pageants almost invariably got knocked out in the early round. The dearth of local beauties can be chalked up to our small population, thanks to our low birthrate.

Fortunately for those in the market for a wife or companion, the prettier aliens along with our locals are available for picks. Someone who's available doesn't have a husband, boyfriend and therefore may want to start a new romantic relationship with someone else. Divorcees, widows and those currently unattached can join the dating game.

NB: 'Alien' is used in official contexts. In everyday English, 'foreigner' is used, but many here have a distrust of foreigners, so it may be better to use the expression 'peepur from other countries.'

An island of so few beauties... acceptable ba.

If Singaporean women aren't eye candies, the same goes for the men who aren't yandaos Same parents, the same gene set, except that they are born with a kkj.  No woncder Fann Wong married a jhk.  

A high TFR would only increase our chances for failure at any beautiy pageant.  It's just reproducing more of the same fugly creatures. 

"Foreigner" is not used in China.  There, they call non-Chinese ----> Aliens.  A Singaporean going there is called an Alien.  It shant help to scream I am Chinese! I am Chinese! as most here would do.  The immigration kor kor will tell them, neo, chiu are a Singaporean, not a Chinese.  Look at the colour of your passport, and if you can read, look what's written on the cover.  Nao, kindly line up over there... those rows for Aliens.
