Trying too hard is sometimes a turn off

Things are nice and good when they are sufficient and in the right amount. However if you over-supply a certain quantity of something, it starts to get annoying and a rather turn off. I'm referring to Singapore.

First, we look at the country down under with their landmark icon - The Sydney Opera House, and decide that Singapore has to have a landmark building. The Esplanade was built, a building also known as the Durians.

Then Singapore looks at their ex-colonial masters and saw a beautiful thing known as The Eye - a gigantic ferris-wheel. So we built one far larger and call it The Flyer. Now we've outdone them!

Then we look over the causeway at our neighbour who sells us our water and notice that they are doing well with their one casino - Genting Resorts. We shall have TWO! That's when the Marina Bay and the Sentosa Integrated Resorts begin their construction. Yes, we win the battle of the Casino.

Oh wait a minute, they have a Sepang circuit for the F1 Grand Prix! That is way too hot in the heat of the day. Let's have a night circuit in Singapore. Oh space constraint. Let's make it a street circuit and put it in the city. That will definitely attract the crowd! And we can cordon off all the streets and make it difficult for Singaporeans to travel into this area. If all else fails, there is the ERP. Beep! That will be $2 deducted from the cashcard in Hamilton's car. Yes that was an international success.

The F1 did well, now let's get the MotoGP into Singapore as well. That will certainly put us head and shoulders above our neighbours!

Wait a minute, F1 and MotoGP is not enough, how about introducing the World Rally Championship here as well. Now the fans can't complain we are not "Fun" enough.

For goodness sake....sometimes, more is less. Please do not try so hard.
