This is how an 83-year-old Tiger Wong looks like. He is still damn fit and healty, alive and kicking--I mean, riding on his bike.For the clueless (those who are deprived of reading Oriental Heroes manhua--uhm, still clueless? Just check out this Wikipedia article about Oriental Heroes or also known as Dragon Tiger Gate), skip this post!
Perhaps deep down we all are Chinese. Either that or we just simply hate bullies.I love how to hear the audience were clapping during the screening of Ip Man.There are a lot of memorable characters in the movie; one I do have to praise openly: the character Li Chiu by Lam Ka-tung. At first this Li Chiu gives me a bad impression with he as a police officer irresponsibly points …
You know how bad advertisement business in Singapore is by looking at how the outdated Nu You magazine for May 2010 is still advertised in bus stops. Sure it features angelababy. (More of her photos in her blog here). And her beauty--as some may argue--is immortal. Still it doesn't change the darn fact that the magazine is however not for the latest month. What, June edition …
In today's edition of The New Paper (TNP), "Doctor who?", Dr Joseph Ong Chor Teck is pointed (some may prefer the word 'exposed') as the founder of Temasek Review (TR). The article was written by a Ms. Ng Wan Ching & apparently TR has struck back with an article that also include her HP no. Yeah, real mature. I know. I don't really give a damn about TR. From one …
Yes, I found the girl!!
An inevitably tragic sequel to this post, of ComfortDelGro fare hike, a suspected cartel & "Is the President of NTA the same person with the President of Comfort Taxi Operators' Association?!", it's with complete disappointment that I learn SMRT Taxis will revise its cab fares from 20 Dec and that the changes will be in line with what was earlier announced by …
Despite the much anticipated Christy Yow to play the legendary striptease dancer Rose Chan, in April last year the busty Christy pulled out of Eric Khoo film. So has the film gone bust then? Fret not, Joanne Peh to the rescue! By the way, one may be forgiven to remember her due to she wearing a halter dress with a plunging neckline on a Channel 8 cooking show in March 2009. …
Culture centre, the first of its kind outside Japan, aims to showcase the country's 'soft power'. Check out the official website of JCC - Japan Creative Centre here.Singapore fans of J-pop and anime cartoons will be pleased to know that their Japanese entertainment treasures are now starring in a 'show' of their own here at home.They are among the cultural exhibits at the …
In the meritocratic society, such a news should not be overly publicized. Ishak Ismail is a general in SAF because he has earned his place! The fact that he is a Malay is secondary. And of no importance. To hear Colonel Ishak Ismail, 46, tell it, his decision to become a regular officer in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) was greeted with some incredulity.Yesterday, his time …
Singapore Power explains increase of tariffs in Q4:The uproar began slightly over a month ago when SP Services announced that electricity tariffs would increase 21.5 per cent in the last quarter of this year.Consumers, already burdened by record inflation, saw red and pointed to profits of S$1.086 billion that SP's parent company, Singapore Power, made last year.How would the …
I read with mix of emotions how the serial sex predator Huang Shiyou's appeal against his 32-year jail term was dismissed by the Court of Appeal.See, on one hand I agree that he had to leave rotting in the jail for as long as possible. On the other hand, I think about how the taxpayers' money are wasted to keep this animal caged. Why can't we just shoot him & get it over? …
Sherwyn Lui, a Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts' (NAFA) student, deserves the victory. I like how his video contest of Coke Zero's 'It's Possible' featuring 4 characters in black & white. Check out the screenshots below & you'll understand why his animation style is the winning one!!One has a lady toiling with a lot of paper works. One shows a man (any thorough audience will be …
The question remains unanswered: why the cleaner leapt into the moat of the white tiger exhibit especially if he's assigned to clean the chimpanzee section?Three white tigers mauled a Malaysian to death in Singapore's zoo on Thursday after the man jumped into their enclosure, a zoo official said.He suffered injuries to his neck and body, and died before the ambulance arrived …
Reading the article 'Weak' poly student snubbed at NUS open house makes me wonder whether local universities gain easy additional earning just through those application fees from those unsuccessful applicants. The lecturer/professor from the Life Science Department was allegedly quoted in the article to told the 'weak' poly student that they "take in about 50 students, …
Yes. It's the time of the year: The Great Singapore Sale 2010. From 28 May to 25 July 2010, you'll see a lot of 'attractive' discounted items. Literally you'll shop till you drop. Like this one good-nature, comical tourist from China. She comically copied the pose of the mannequin for Chanel Coco Cocoon (it's a brand of some bag, I believe). 
Daul Kim, a South Korean supermodel who starred in a string of high-profile fashion campaigns, has been found dead at her luxury flat in Paris. The apparent suicide--like any other suicide … 
ladyironchef: I find joy in making people hungry angry The above picture is taken from the webcache of the now-suspended blog of ladyironchef. There have been speculations on why the suspension of the account of this blogger, ladyironchef (who is by the way a he, but you can't tell with that silly moniker which is likely inspired by what, another silly movie, "The Lady Iron … 
Vicky Zhao Wei carries a torch ONLY for a China manYeah, right. Whatever. Whoever this mysterious Singaporean businessman 'Marco' who was rumored to have proposed Vicky Zhao Wei twice ought to step up & clarify that he too would not marry a China girl because he is damn patriotic as well!! After all, Singaporean women are the best.On a separate point, I'm quite amused to read … 
While the news is quite specific that Jamie Yeo is 14 weeks pregnant, it doesn't really say when the exact wedding was. Only 'recently' it vaguely mentioned as well as the hint of 'surprise' as the initial plan was the wedding with an Englishman Thorsten Nolte to be held this December. Go figure (if you're that kaypoh). Whether it was a shotgun wedding or not, Jamie Yeo …
