NDP Rally Drinking Game

As we all know the media acts like a broken record throughout the year rolling out the same old catch phrases like racial harmony this and foreign talent that. And it’s fairly predictable what will be mentioned in the NDP Rally (or as Chris says “how we must maintain our multi-national heritage, bridge the poor-rich [...]

Heard on the Bus

I overheard a teacher talking to her colleague about how the students in her secondary school would go back to their primary schools on some special day off from school.
“It is the family and friends who they will feel attached to and tied to Singapore. What are they going to love about Singapore? The government? [...]

Bah

This is bad bad bad bad bad. I feel the beginnings of a sore throat. Maybe I should give up cheap McDonald’s tonight >_<
Bah, my plans are foiled!
Addendum: Phew! False alarm.

Auntie Anne is Amish!

I didn’t know that.
To make ends meet, Anne started an Amish food stand at the farmer’s market. The hand-rolled, soft pretzels she made were very popular. In fact, they were so popular that the Beilers built a nationwide business selling them. If you’ve been in an American airport, you probably know Auntie Anne’s Pretzels.

I found [...]

D a w n Y a n g and Pl@stic Surgery

Because the damn fight of XX vs. DY has gotten quite a bit of attention, I went to have a look at their sites and google various stuff about them (ie. kaypo yi xia). And oh boy, seek and ye shall find, baby!

Truthfully, I had never really bothered to explore [...]

Freakazoid on DVD

Reported on boingboing.
OMG YES! Now to wait for it to get around to here.

My Sweet Tooth

On Ben’s recommendation on where to go for nice dessert in the Clementi area, I went down to The Daily Scoop (my fav food review site) for my dose of sugar. It’s a quick trip from NUS, just take bus 151 and get off near the junction of Sunset Way. It’s about a 6 minute [...]

An Argument American Psycho Would Be Proud Of

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAH, HAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAAHAH…
There really are a lot of idiots online. Some of them even provide entertainment.
This guy wants his espresso on ice. The coffee guy doesn’t want to give it to him. Somehow the story gets out. Chaos ensues in the Internet. Washington Post even does a story on it.
Hahah…

GCT doesn’t need…

Singapore politics don’t need:

Coups.
Demonstrations in the streets.
People power.
Plots and conspiracies.
Wild allegations.
Uncalled for defamatory remarks.

(Inspired by Rick Astley memes and GCT.)
Also:
‘When you have the skills and means, you can choose to live a full and interesting life any way you want it.’
… As long as it’s within the narrow constraints of what constitues ‘full’, ‘interesting’ and [...]
