As a result of the ongoing AWARE saga, which I’m far too undecided about at the moment to opine about, the AWARE old guard has posted a video on YouTube. I was quite amused by what YouTube thinks qualify as videos that are similar to a video put out by a women’s activist group to ...
Saying that the nine-year jail term was adequate, Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong found that Aniza Essa was unlikely to re-offend and her mental illness was also ‘transient’.– Straits TimesYes, it’s rather unlikely that she’ll re-offend given that she no longer has any husbands to murder. And conveniently “transient” mental illnesses are …
Okay fine, misleading headline. But this advertisement I saw on Facebook really made me go “wtf”. Some rights reserved | Permalink | 0 replies Add to del.icio.us Search blogs linking this post with Technorati
The audience and the judges initially laughed at Miss Boyle when she told them she wanted to be a famous artist like Paige and gyrated her hips. But that all changed after her performance, with the notoriously hard-to-please Cowell describing her as “a little tiger” while Morgan called her the “biggest surprise I’ve had in ...
I guess it’s not just SPH that’s good at mangling the English language. I spotted this advertisement at the Tanjong Pagar MRT station. Here’s a hint to MediaCorp’s ad agency: “bind” is a verb, not a noun. Well, to be more accurate, the word they’re looking for here is “bonds”.There are only two instances where ...

Mom: Where are my things?Dad: What things?Mom: I don’t know what things, but where are they anyway?Happy birthday, mom.
More fail from SPH editors or proofreaders. A spell check would even pick this one up, but apparently they don’t even bother to do that much.This one I am less confident about, but I’m fairly certain that “eat steamboat” is improper grammar. It sounds like Singlish to me, where we might also say “eat claypot” ...

Facebook’s handling of timestamps in different timezones leaves something to be desired. I often joke to Americans about living in the future, since Singapore is anything between 12-16 hours ahead of USA, but I don’t really expect to see international social websites not knowing how to handle different timezones properly.

If Apple, as the rumours go, really does release a matte black iPhone, I will be pissed. Also, I will want one immediately.Unfortunately the image shown on that page appears to be a fake, but I can still hope that Apple will finally fix the one glaring problem with every single iPod since the first ...
SingTel and HTC just announced that SingTel will be carrying the HTC Dream, aka the Google Phone. The launch date and price remain unannounced, but this seems like yet another victory for SingTel. With the iPhone and the Google Phone as SingTel exclusives, one can only assume that the upcoming Palm Pre will also get ...
From Shawn Blanc’s dual review of the Mac and iPhone versions of Things by Cultured Code:I used to jot those thoughts onto the palm of my hand.Then I bought a Palm Pilot. Then a pocket Moleskine, then a notepad. But through all that, the only thing I ever had with me all the time was ...
In response, Mica’s corporate communications director Julia Hang explained the Government’s position, saying it is ‘not realistic or efficient to engage Singaporeans on a multitude of online platforms, which would require extensive resources’.– The Electric New PaperTranslation: Singaporean citizens aren’t worth the time and effort to …
