As of Oct. 17, Singapore has yet another Guinness world record added to its list -- this time, for breaking the world record for the largest reunion of people born in the same hospital.

Some 2,241 members of the public, who were all born in KK Women's and Children's Hospital, turned up at Bishan Stadium in the morning to break the world record previously set by a hospital in the Philippines.

Before you think these people had nothing better to do on a Sunday morning, let us explain.

The record-setting was one part of an event organised by the hospital to "celebrate Singapore, family life and an active lifestyle," and was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean and Senior Minister of State Josephine Teo.

So the event was not just an avenue for us to let loose our propensity to be the best in all aspects.

But even if it were so, we wouldn't really have been surprised.

Here are some other Guinness world records set in Singapore and by Singaporeans that might make you go "whaaaa... okay".

1. The world's largest jelly mosaic

A group of Singaporean students from the Imperial College Singapore Society produced a 19.8m by 12.8m Singapore flag in 2004, made entirely of jelly (agar-agar).

It took 80 Singaporean students nine hours to put the flag together in the middle of the Queen's Lawn at Imperial College. A total of 16,125 pieces of jelly were used.

The students had embarked on the project to raise the profile of Singapore abroad.

In case you were wondering what they did with all that agar-agar, they ate it -- they being the students and approximately 100 spectators who turned up to witness the event.

2. The world's largest curry (cooked at a single time)

Last year, at the Indian Gourmet Festival Suvai 2015, the world record that was set is a testament to the magnitude of Singaporeans' love for food -- the world's largest curry, weighing 15 tonnes, or about 15,000kg was prepared at the event.

The Indian Chefs and Culinary Association even worked with engineers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force and Public Utilities Board to decide on how many stoves were needed and how fast water could be filled into the 11-metre curry pot.

3. Largest gathering of people dressed as ghosts

You read that right. In June this year, another Guinness world record was set in Singapore when 263 people donned white onesies to welcome Melissa McCarthy at a red carpet event in Marina Bay Sands, who stars in the 2016 all-female remake of the movie "Ghostbusters".

When have you ever seen a large group of adults wearing all-white outfits, in public no less? PAP convention, perhaps? Amazing.

4. Most people applying false eyelashes

This world record was set when 324 participants simultaneously put on false eyelashes at The Ground Theatre @ SCAPE in September 2014.

The event was organised by Japanese cosmetic brand Dolly Wink, as part of an outreach programme in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Sounds like a great effort, but we're still not quite sure if we see the link, though.

5. Most people wearing balloon hats

Ending off this list (that seems to have grown in absurdity) is perhaps one of the most well-known world records set in Singapore in recent years.

Why? Because we all remember this image from 2014.

A total of 5,911 party-goers, including our Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, donned silly-looking balloon hats in an attempt to set a new world record during the 2014-2015 New Year's Eve countdown party at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio park.

Needless to say, we smashed the previous world record and staked our claim as the country that had the most number of people wear balloon hats at the same time.

Actually, we're betting we also made the world record for the most country leaders wearing balloon hats.

Nice.
