Dog shit Girl?

It began in a subway train with a girl whose dog made a mess on the train floor. When nearby elders told her to clean up the mess, she basically told them to fuck off. A nearby enraged netizen then took pictures of her and posted it, without any masking, on a popular website which started a nationwide witchhunt.

Within hours, she was labeled gae-ttong-nyue (dog-shit-girl) and her pictures and parodies were everywhere. Within days, her identity and her past were revealed. Request for information about her parents and relatives started popping up and people started to recognize her by the dog and the bag she was carrying as well as her watch, clearly visible in the original picture. All mentions of privacy invasion were shouted down with accusations of being related to the girl. The common excuse for their behavior was that the girl doesn't deserve privacy.

suppose to jog with brown

yes yes, I was suppose to jog with brown yesterday. My form of meeting up with well known bloggers routine. however, i was weak from the blood donation on monday and i cant bear to bring myself to run when i hardly have enough oxygen while walking..... ok that was a lame attempt to fool you into thinking blood donation makes me weak. I was just lazy and totally forgotten abt it. maybe next tues

oh and ladies..... it quite silly to dismiss blood donation by claiming you cant stand the sight of blood. ermmm you know what i mean. as for guys, you can try using this excuse but there goes the size of your ego.

this has kept me entertain for an hour

just click. dun ask

Too much advertising

When is advertising just too much? Apparently not enough. Now ads can be stamped onto the beach miles after miles. eck

xray making keys

trust that you wont have to follow this example of a man who swallow his keys and needs it to drive him home.....

I love bullet trains

I always fascination for things that are big and fast. Hopefully one day i can build my very own transformers. sighs.



Well in japan now, they are testing their newest generation of the super fast bullet train which would be in use in 2011. I do hope to visit japan before this period and after it to experience the thrill of going almost as fast as superman.

Imagine singapore having one? I can go from pasir ris to boon lay in 10 mins. Well then again, at that distance i doubt the bullet train have the distance to hit top speed.

maybe perhaps, just maybe

I read this article and was deeply touched by it. Indeed it touches on a topic which many knew but few discuss about.

"I’m twenty one and doing a stint as a chaplain’s aide in a large gritty urban hospital.

Part of my job is to bring Communion to people dying in the AIDS ward. Most of the people wasting away in their beds are uninsured junkies or prostitutes. This is long before antiretroviral therapy. AIDS is poorly understood. Some people still wear masks out of fear of contagion.

Many of the people dying in this place are wracked with guilt. Remember how people used to say AIDS was God’s punishment......"

slippers anyone?

I remember a funny incident 10 years ago and had this dying desire to write it now when its 1am in the morning.

Back then I was a nerdy boy sitting among my classmates who all happen to be in the normal stream. yes the baddest class of the lot. If you are imaginating the pranks they played on me, well there are none. When you are in the worst class ever, you tend to bully the rest of the school instead.

Anyway, a fellow student stepped into class with slippers instead of the ugly white shoes. It was hip then to go against the uniform code and get away with it without punishement. Wearing slippers is one of the hippest form of expression that you are elite.

When the form teacher asked him why he was wearing slipper today, we all expected the same old answer that he injured his leg/toe/ankle/balls. But the joker of the class interrupted and shouted this,"thats because paul got no money to buy shoes." Paul turned and shouted back KNNB before closing with something like his slippers cost more than your shoe or something like that.

Funny right. damn i need some sleep now.

mr hungry

damn i am hungry now.

and i dun mean like a little hungry, but more like starving hungry. I could eat a cow. yes those darn moove cardboard cows are looking tempting too.

i am thinking of cooking, cooking is fun. just that jamie oliver makes it so simple to cook but when you actually try doing everything similar (including his style) you quickly learn that thats why there a profession for chefs. Well I should not say this, I am not that bad (me thinks).

Anyone out there hungry too? can call me out for supper? and if you happen to read this tml or so, its nice to know that i have starve myself for you! dun turn away, yes you. you sitting there smiling nervously.

Basket tetris

Have you ever thought Tetris(R) was evil because it wouldn't send you that straight "I" brick you needed in order to clear four rows at the same time? Well Tetris(R) probably isn't evil, but Bastet certainly is.

Bastet stands for "bastard tetris", and is a simple ncurses-based Tetris(R) clone for Linux. Unlike normal Tetris(R), however, Bastet does not choose your next brick at random. Instead, Bastet uses a special algorithm designed to choose the worst brick possible. As you can imagine, playing Bastet can be a very frustrating experience!

Fireflies garden

I saw this on channelnewsasia a couple of hours ago. Visiting their online site I cant seem to find this information anywhere.... sheesh

Anyway, in Japan (land of pokemon and gozilla) comes a unique mini garden that looks to me like a overgrown flower pot. In this mini garden which is totally portable, is the home of hundreds of fireflies.

When I saw it, I am fascinated by the sheer simplicity of the concept yet captivated by the idea of having live fireflies living in a small part of your home/office. Its makes a hell of a great display too.

Since I probably cant afford the hefty price tag, I m wondering to meself if I should try to designing a super mini one in my room. And then reality hits me when I noticed in singapore I will attrached only mosquitoes, spiders and flies. Ecksss.

Anyone out there seen the CNA report??? Could you find me that link?

Jogging with brown

We have all knew... well most of us anyway, that Mr Brown and fellow bloggers met up at hideout rather often. This weekly or so meet-up helps to bring us writers closer to one another.

Still there are many out there who doesnt club. (yes me) and I gotten this crazy idea of attempting to meet up with brown for a jog. Anyone keen to join me?

Yo! Orange One, want to start your running again??? Hey kopiwriter, want to burn off some fats?

Eddy Neo is back

Whoo hoo the funny man is back. Perhaps after all the fan mails he received and the single outing by strange cute ladies, he is encourage to blog once more.

Its wonders how much you miss him when he is not around and now that he is back there is a big whoopee.

They are back

My missus touches down a couple of hours ago. Its wonderful that she has finally arrived. We were glad to see each other again and hope to make the most of this short holiday.

Also, one of my best bud has returned as well. Its been 2 years or more since he left. He is one of my best chionging buddies and life has not been the same without him. To zouk we shall.

Help her

In Pakistan, allegedly an ally of the West, Ms Mai was sentenced to gang rape to punish her brother. She survived, fought back, won in court, raised money, started schools. If the word “hero” has any meaning, she is one. The Asian-American Network Against Abuse of Women invited her to lecture in the U.S.A. So the Pakistani government revoked her right to leave the country, put her under house arrest, and cut off her phone; meanwhile, its courts are letting the rapists out of jail.

The New York Times reported on the weekend that she was under arrest, but the BBC now says she’s free. This would be a good time to drop a line to your Congressperson or Member of Parliament or local Embassy of Pakistan. Whatever you think of Gen. Musharraf, he really can’t do without Western support. So we may not be able to save the world, but maybe we can save one brave woman.

I saw popagandhi

I was having lunch with a friend of mine in town today. While sitting there listening, my attention tends to drift away :P Anyway, I saw a familiar face and all a sudden I whisper to my fren, "hey its popagandhi!" She looked at me daze and said she only new who Xiaxue was.

Hi anyway, nice to see you.

Soon to be back

My sasa is coming back and thats what matters to me now.

Happy Father's day to all

To those who slave hard for the family. To those that kept quiet while the mother nags away. To those who work behind the scene to make a simple family outing a success. To those who signs your kids report card each yaer end. To those who preach good values and hope for the best. You know who you are.

Happy father's day. Thanks for being there when we need you the most. cheers.

Bisexual crab

Watermen say that female blue crabs "paint their fingernails," meaning the tips of their claws turn bright red as they age. The male crabs, on the other hand, have sky-blue claws -- a sign as masculine as a mustache in the world of crustaceans.

So when Robbie Watson dumped out a crab trap and found a specimen with one red claw and one blue one, the discovery stopped him.

"I set it aside for a while," Watson said. "I really wasn't sure what to think."

tagboard, should i?

I am wondering aloud. Yes aloud. Should I get a tagboard for this silly blog? should i? should i?

Well kopiwriter has one, ndr has one, yan has one.... yes I know, its just peer pressure, but I always allow myself to fall into that trap. Peer pressure makes me takes up drinking, makes me go clubbing, makes me go deaf after clubbing as well. I blame you all... *hick*. I was a nice boy who used to think of such places as sleazy, where old man go to pick up young girls... well i still think so today.

sigh getting cranky now.

to tagboard or no tagboard, that is the question

I like Lost

This new series is fast becoming my new favorite. How cool is it to watch Survivor with cast who are actually actors. It beats watching the original version where emotions are faked by actual untrained people. ecks.

I still love CSI more, its one of the few shows that makes engineering looks cool. The whole idea of making discoveries in the lab, with the endless zooming to microscopic lever and the slow motion recap of explosion or blood piercing. Just awesome man. Other than that, I cant imagine what shows are there which glamorize engineering.

Hmm let me think.... There was Ally Mcbeal, the Practise, etc which makes lawyers cool, there was ER, Chicago Hope which makes doctors cool, there was NYPD, Baywatch which makes civil services cool... But for a long time now what do engineers get??? Remember the lone gunman? Yes cool huh??? you got to be kidding me. Real engineers dun look like that (well i hope not)

Dun feel bad my copywriting friends. I am sure one day you will have a show just based on your work. Till then, I would like to fly a plane and crash on some weird islands with lots of cute babes. I hope to be the only surviving guy.

Ever wonder how beer is made?

I bet most of you would say hey I do know how beer is made. Well so did I.... I also ponder why do monks make beer in the monastery. Crazy I tot. Aint it a scared place for prayers and quiet reflection???? Do they have friday nights off and make merry?

so much questions...

what about a pirated OS X

I know when ndr and kopiwriter hears this they will get piss with me... but hear me out.

We all know what Microsoft did years ago. They let their software to be pirated freely. This in turn allows many to install windows, office and so on without having to pay. MS intention was to use this to edge out their competitors. Lotus, Netscape, OS/2 and even Apple simply fade away. Once MS got the dominating share of the market, they set up BSA (business software alliance) to ensure those using illegal copies would just pay up. which works btw.

Anyway, alot of us likes OS X. If there is a copy I can freely install on any intel chip, I would do so. Of course I will buy my copy.

Mini Blog conference

Somehow this just happens without any of us even knowing.

I was happily thinking for most of the afternoon what tasty giant burgers I would be having at Blooies later. Oh btw Blooies is a terrific place to bring a foodie. They will love the food there...

So I met up with ndr (aka Andrea) and n (aka ian) who loves to remove all the vowels from their names (btw i am known as drn). Anyway, n told me we are meeting 2 of ndr friends as well. Cool I tot.

So later when we are all finally there, the friend of ndr who last arrived, looked at me and said, "hey you are BLM." Then he turned to the others and called out their online nicks too..... yes pretty freaky. This is almost like Mr Brown and others meeting up at the hideout.

To cut the story short, here are those who came, ate and gossip away. Kopiwriter, ndr, Johnny Malkavian and fuzk.

It scares me that almost everyone i know now has a blog..... and that we all were talking about the blogging community... help help

Please bring them back

Its been a year or more.... and i cant help but miss them. sob sob. (insert crying game music... oh wait)

I wish Fox will bring them back

coasters anyone?

I love these sets of coaster designs. My misus prefers the key holder. Either case we love the designs

Harry famous words

I remember when I was only 14 and I stood sleepy singing the National anthem. This is quickly followed by our dear former principal Mr Harry Tan. (he aint dead, he just quit thats all)

Harry or lau hair as we called him, said this famous line.

"WE are all Champions. Why? Because we are one in millions of sperms that made it."

All a sudden I feel like going for a jog.

which blogger are you?

Congratulations BLM, you are...

Finicky Feline of finickyfeline.liquidblade.com

You may seem sweet on the outside but behind you hide a sharpened claw. You have the observation skills of a forensic detective and can see right through people easily. You attract attention, both good and bad, but more bad than good. You've seen more assholes in life than a proctologist. The bad ones tries to screw you over but quickly learnt that its a bad move because you enjoy screwing them back accordingly.

Which Singaporean Blogger Are You?

Lifelike robot

The robot above is able to understand simple questions and reply intelligently. Its amazing how real it looks.

From the looks of thing, robotic prostitution will happen in the next 4-5 years,

New Sony Ericsson phones

There are couple of nice new SE phones coming out soon.

I cant wait to get a new one.

Junyao proposed

One of my brothers whom I known since secondary school days, has proposed to his girlfriend. She said yes of course and they will be getting married next year. He has asked me to be his brothers for the ceremony. I will get my training of course at eejean wedding where I will be her jiemei.

Anyway, cant wait for all this to happen. Boy do I feel old already.

Moulding fastfood

Here is a cool experiment to try when you have nothing to do and lots of burgers and fries lying around.... well perhaps not.

Anyway, this site left fries from macs and another from a local diner to compare the moulding effect... Boy does it remove the taste from eating fastfood immediately.

The top 6 reasons why women are worse drivers

Ok i know i will get a lot of hate mail for this. But seriously I cant help but laughed at them all.

Simpsons the movie

Coming soon.... I hope

Channel 5 programming works

Just 10 mins ago, I went out to tabao dinner for my parents. Yes, its a very late dinner. I decided to get hokkien mee and drove to a popular place near my house. Its has been months since I last tasted it and the craving for blood is strong....

Anyway, the nice chinese cook who prepared my food happily said to me in chinese, (translated) "cant wait to go home and see "Lost", tonight the premiere, you know that?"

I was stunned that even this heartland folk who probably only listen to chinese radio who be interested in it. This simply means, channel 5 has come of aged. sob sob. ah well never like Channel I anyway. In case you are wondering, I am not that interested in lost. I am more of a ESPN person. Yes a couch potato who look at other sweat and complained why cant they do better.

Du the Dudek

While many would remember years from now that Liverpool won the Champions league, some of us will still remember the amazing yet funny stunt Dudek pull (and I dun mean saving the goals).

Somehow, thanks to his dance moves, fans all around have created a song for him along with a video. I have not seen or heard of it yet, but will do so very soon.

'Du The Dudek' - the lyrics...

Come on and do the Dudek
Do the Jerzy Dudek
Shake it, shake it, move it
Jump up and wave your gloves!

We're the one and only
Euro Campione
Who get to keep the trophy
The rest aint good enough! .....

mac to be installed with intel chip

You all probably know this by now. I am rather late to post it, gotten lazy and sick lately.

I could imagine the mac couple i know of, screaming thru the night. heh. guys its time to accept the inevitable. cheers

morning musume, i like

My missus cant stand the thought that I think the Jpop group, Morning Musume are just so kawaii. Should we start a fan site?





Hey aint they cute?

Monkey businese

....But do the capuchins actually understand money? Or is Chen simply exploiting their endless appetites to make them perform neat tricks?

Several facts suggest the former. During a recent capuchin experiment that used cucumbers as treats, a research assistant happened to slice the cucumber into discs instead of cubes, as was typical. One capuchin picked up a slice, started to eat it and then ran over to a researcher to see if he could ''buy'' something sweeter with it....

what not to do when you have a headache

during the horrible hot day, i was dehydrated by the cycling and the sun. I was however able to rehydrate myself later, only to be left with a nsty headache for the whole night. i seek to rest and let it smooth off eventually.

however a fren of mine had other plans. he has been carrying ard suprlyn (acnt remember how to spell) it contains multiple vitamins and minerals and would replenish my lost of salt and water. However it is a booster as well and when I was forced to drink it at 11pm, I could not sleep at all. I was tired beyond imagine but thanks to it, I cant sleep one bit. Not to forget, it did nothing to help my headahce.

so, i ended up with a nasty headache and not being able to sleep. what a torture it has been. only after 3-4 agonising hours did i decide to find some panadols. kopiwriter was there to save me and thanks to him the pain was gone in 30 mins.

lesson learnt. dun experiment on drugs, say NO even when you are forced to take it.

Troop camp 2005

day 3: campfire, night games and sleep under shelter for once
