You know how much I hate to wish that something really bad happen to anyone (though at times I have expressed my desire to have someone I truly hate suffer in death thanks to a speeding bullet train). But I think I have no excuse to pray that the author of this idiotic post have anything good for him or her.This guy is a real muppet. I couldn't care to dig up his background …
It's been almost 30 years now. A basic education, a marriage and a HDB flat later, I question myself what's ahead of me now. In an ideal world, the list shall include a car, 3 kids, a bigger flat, a promising career, at least one good holiday every year and a comfortable lifestyle for my family and I. Well that is if living here was anywhere close to ideal. However, as we are …
I chuckled to myself early today as I flipped to the 2nd page of The New Paper on the way to the office. With a huge front cover image of a poor girl in China reportedly needing to have her legs cut off to free her from being trapped amongst the rubble after the quake, I was anticipating the story as I flipped only to be surprised by a stupid article highlighting an even more …
You can go around the blogsphere and I assure you that amongst the local bloggers, quite a handful are authors of blogs that highlight the difficult issues and the miserable plight of Singaporeans. They rant on the rising in costs, petrol, taxes and increasing ERP gantries. They rave on the harsh pace of working life, the low salary and the poor treatment they received a …
I read with disgust today's article in The New Paper, on the fate of the PRC student from NTU who is down with leukaemia. Not disgust at his condition, in fact I can't help but feel for him as I don't think contracting serious illnesses at such a young age is a fun feat. You can't help but feel sorry for him. What disgust me was the reaction some people had over a donation …
And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry …
It was really interesting how breakfast went last weekend. I'm not really a breakfast person but perhaps thanks to last weekend, I might convert to someone who enjoys breakfast. See, the missus had earlier planned a breakfast date with 2 of her mates, one particularly having her last weekend breakfast as a bacholerette. Ok that's not really significant - as you can't possibly …
This weekend will be particularly busy for the missus and I. Let's see now. We have 3 weddings to attend in total and trust me when I say this, we are not the typical couple who likes travelling from one end of the island to the other to attend weddings week after week. No we don't hate weddings. We absolutely love weddings, the union of two souls very much in love. Just that …
Ok it's been a while I updated on the happenings here. Yet today is not about blogging shenanigans. It's all about last night. Oh the glory. If last night have not instilled any belief in you then I don't know what will.It's been 4 seasons. 86 games. Ages really since the blue russian scums of Chelsea tasted defeat in their own backyard. Many have set upon the Bridge only to …
I am one big fan of music. Other than those heavy metal ones where I can hardly make out the lyrics, most of the other genres can easily make me jump up and get jiggy with it. Of course I do have my favourites - hip-hop, ballads, evergreen hits - in no particular order. Lately though my taste for music took an unlikely twist leaving the missus a tad bit worried. Oh well.You …
Last Monday, I managed to catch The Arena, an emmy nominated programme, on Ch 5. Interestingly the debate was between a Madrasah and the Singapore American School. Interesting motion for the day and quite an engaging debate I must admit. One interesting point the proposition brought up was the harmfulness of anonymity in the internet. When given the access to be anonymous, …
You know, people slag me off for my entries at times. Especially when the entries evolves around issues and matters didn't go down well with me. Some readers dedicate posts to intentionally counter mine while some idiots even goes to the extent of just simply riding on those posts in support of the action without even understanding what the whole entry is all about. Tsk …
I can't fully understand what's the blardy big deal that the media is so into a certain court case that evolves around a defamation suit that involves certain characters that we are so so familiar with. It seems like a dejavu to me. One where perhaps we can already predict the outcome.I am a rebel myself no doubt. I can't help but smiled on the brave attempts by the accused …
Dear Ed,I hope you're reading this in the pinkest of health. I have a few issues to share with you and it would be great if you could share your thoughts on them. I know you have indulged in a few of your own the past few posts but do bear with me and I would appreciate if you share this with your readers too.I know everyone is talking about Mas Selamat and his escape and so …
I cannot fathom why it is such a mega big deal that a child actor (no longer one but acting like one still maybe) who is being punished and sent for detention is actually making news. Like seriously what is the bloody big deal.Ok so he is reprimanded for insubordination. By jolly, he deserve to be sent for detention. He should know that the army, a military organisation, …
I'm really growing sick and tired of our female counterparts complaining about how ungentleman the local men are. We don't open doors for you. We don't hold the lifts for you. Not only we don't give up our seat, we even have the nerve to display that we are damn shagged out from work and pretend we are asleep in the train and buses.At times I question who are the women they …
It so happens that some inmates at the detention centre has more privacy than an average Singaporean. They have the privilege of having two urinals in one cubicle with one door. Here we are having multiple urinals in rows in public toilets, some even able to expose us through the main toilet door. But not for inmates there. They have real privacy mind you. Sure or not? It so …
I was told that I will face drastic changes to my daily routine. No late nights, no football and no games.Yet I end up catching more midnight shows and late supper all around the island regularly. Football, playing or watching was never an issue and to top it all off I even got myself an Xbox game console.I was told that life will be all about dragging myself to work, earning …
It was billed as a make or break game for the London boys. Having settled for a stalemate for 3 earlier meeting this season, many expect the same outcome in what was always a close encounter between the two sides. Liverpool's away goal as not much of an advantage, fact that a single goal from Arsenal would have put them in the driving seat and have the Reds having to look for …
You know, I really feel good having quit smoking for a good 3 years and counting. Having picked up the habit at a tender age of 11, I am glad that I no longer desire to have a puff every now and then as I used to back then. In addition, since I quit smoking, on top of a notable increase in my appetite, I manage to quite a fair sum what more with the ever increasing prices on …
