  SINGAPORE: The top three leisure activities among Singaporeans are eating, shopping and surfing the web.

  A survey of more than 10,000 Singaporeans on their preferred leisure activities came up in this order.

  More than two-thirds - or 68 per cent - cited food or dining-out as the top leisure activity in the MasterCard Survey on Consumer Purchasing.

  Shopping was next with 65 per cent votes while surfing the web was third with 60 per cent.
  
  Interest in languages and literature as well as learning crafts made the bottom of the list of preferred activities.
  
  Only about a fifth -- or about 20 per cent -- of those who responded liked these.
  
  In terms of preferred dining outlets, the food courts and hawker centres reigned supreme as the most popular.
  
  About 90 per cent cited these as their top choice for eating out.
  
  The survey said Singaporeans visit hawker centres and food courts an average of 16 times a month.
  
  This is followed by fast-food restaurants and other quick-serve restaurants where they visit about seven times a month.

  My favourite pastime is criticising PAP and Lee Kuan Yew. I don't think PAP would approve of my pastime.

  the top 3 leisure activities are very bad..they aren't leisure to me. eating n surfing the web are rather the norm. Finally, shopping is rather normal as well.

   

  something is very wrong...most Singaporeans are too stress to actually have leisure activities that are classified as solely leisure.

  stupid poll. might as well add in talking as a pastime?

  most singaporeans do the same boring shit everyday when not working:

  guys = watching soccer, clubbing, watching movie

  girls = shopping, clubbing, watching movie

  This shit is pointless.

  Derp, who doesn't do this.

  It's not a pastime.

  We don't have time for pastimes.

  It's sad that I'm assumed to be a clone.
  
  It's in greater grief to know where your question came from.
  
  A dying forum?
