that's it?

I'm struck by the simplicity of the menu of the most important dinner of the entire world. In contrast, even a usual wedding dinner in KL would have 6 or 7 course.

The dishes are also impressively environmental-friendly. There is no sharkfin, for instance. It's interesting to note the difference between now and say 30 years ago.When Lee Kuan Yew visited Deng Xiao Ping, he was served bear paw. It is inconceivable now.

What is more important for us to take away from this menu is the brand of wine. If you ever visit China, you need to buy 中国河北2002年出产的长城干红和长城干白, because Obama drinks it.


国家主席胡锦涛17日晚举行盛大宴会，欢迎来华访问的美国总统奥巴马。

宴会菜单中西合璧，正餐包括一道冷盘，一份汤和三道热菜：翠汁鸡豆花汤、中式牛排、清炒茭白芦笋、烤红星石斑鱼。餐后甜品为一道点心和一道水果冰淇淋。

宴会上配餐的红葡萄酒和白葡萄酒分别是中国河北2002年出产的长城干红和长城干白。

You would think SG is error-free when it comes to English, but I saw this advertisement in MRT

"HELP US TO FULFILL THEIR WISHES"

This is grammatically incorrect.

It should be : "HELP US FULFILL THEIR WISHES"

On a related note, I have always wondered which one of the followings is correct, when speaking to my daughters
1. Sit in the chair
2. Sit on the chair

Google seems to point to the first sentence as the correct answer.
