"In 6 years, Hougang shall be PAP's!" That's a daring prediction offered by my colleague over lunch today. Do tell the rationale of the seemingly irrational statement, I asked her. She gave me a quick math lesson. See, in within just 1 year, Desmond of PAP has grabbed 37.91% of the votes (which is up of 2.7% from the previous year). Now assume that he can continue giving …
Sure you remember the gorgeous Syahrini whom I blogged previously in this post. Now she makes it to the news again as her claim that she's a lover of a grandson of some Selangor Sultan is said to be utterly mistaken. Ouch. That ought to be embarrassing. Then again, it's a good publicity for Syahrini--yes, just like she enjoyed Fame when she's picked to greet and accompany …
And the winner is... (Well, obviously either PAP's Desmond Choo or WP's Png Eng Huat. And we'll only know the result before midnight today.) Still, this Hougang by-election has surely introduced the excitement not just to the Hougang residents, but to the rest of Singaporeans. Even BBC has published an article, titled, "Singapore holds keenly-watched by-election", to cover …
Yeah, I've got a free can of Pokka Passion Fruit Tea earlier this afternoon when I was in the Yishun Bus Interchange. Although it's free--and cold--I'd still say I don't like the taste. Perhaps that's why it's free, huh? Nah, the promotion must be because of it's the latest flavour. I checked in the Pokka website, and this product has not even listed yet. Nevertheless I …
Uploaded by one truly desperate Admund Tan: I have finally got a flat last year after balloting for 4 years with my dad. I am single and under the age of 35. Beginning of 2010 we had our first appointment and I had paid a deposit of $42,000 and some legal fees amounting to a total of around $50,000 and most of it was in cash as I have always been a self- employed after my …
Yes, I've just found out that having StarHub SafeSurf activated is the reason why RewardingWays banned me. How did I come to that conclusion? See, recently when I tried to undertake 'Task …
Sure, Rotten Tomatoes only rated the movie, Spiral at 50%. But hey, I still enjoyed this 2007 psychological thriller. (Finally watched it last night. Haha!) Christopher Armstead has a wonderful review of the movie as published in Film Critics United site. Check it out. Oh, and there's even a Discussion Forum about what the 'final sketch' is about. You know what I'm …
Singapore has its Great Singapore Sale (25 May - 22 July 2012), Malaysia with its Malaysia Mega Sale (15 June - 2 September 2012)...and Jakarta has its Jakarta Great Sale (1 June - 14 July …
If you like such a classic silent movie parody, you'd love this one as well. Heh.

I have had just enough with Rewarding Ways. For whatever magical reason, my account was again marked as 'Cheater' due to PROXY IP DETECTED. What on earth does that even mean? After my first brush with that cryptic message because I accessed my account in the workplace, I have taken precaution to just use the PC at home. Ever! And yet, it STILL happens. What have I learnt …
Not really a follow-up to this post, "Kasar 3.0: Al Jazeera crew's camera 'busted by Malaysian police' at rally", but this may also be related to the event called Bersih 3.0, and also involved a foreign news agency, this time it's BBC. Titled "BBC News on Bersih 3.0 - What the government doesn't want you to know", it's uploaded on 28/04 and featured the two broadcast side by …
