Are you wallowing in self-pity? Are you knocking your head silly on the wall for not planning ahead for a date with a crush? Have you been hopelessly single? Do your crushes treat you like a close sibling of sorts? Do you want to get out of it and bare it all and scream "I ...

Goodness! This topic has been going on and on and on… and it’s still on today in straitstimes.com online forums! I guess everyone is saying the same thing over and over again, each attempting to give a variant of the same perspective - those against the decriminalization harp on moral values nowadays (instead of religious ...

Apparently, a second person was involved in the Cpl Teo incident. Ong, 21, unemployed is said to be charged by the police for having met Cpl Teo and is assumed to know that the latter had a weapon with him. Was talking to Endoh over MSN and he thought that Ong’s probably as good as ...

A flash fire occurred at the Singapore Power Building this morning at approximately 10:10am, triggering some power outage in the vicinity as well as emergency evacuation of workers and shoppers in the building and surrounding offices and shopping centers. 4 workers were injured while 1 suffered burns. No further information was available. I guess this ...

Nets, following the trend of the EZ-link, has decided to charge a non-refundable $5 for each CashCard. Since this policy is to kick in from 1st May 2008, many people are rushing to get their CashCard, resulting in a temporary repletion of the cards. If this were to persist, one can’t help but wonder if ...

Since everyone is doing their own posters for Prison Break, I thought I’d do something to help promote Toilet Break Prison Break 4. Coming to a cinema near you. Original picture and idea courtesy of DK. =)

How many of you can remember the good old days of guessing the actual location of where the NDP tickets will be given out and queuing up overnight for the tickets with friends - which made a good catch-up session on top of everything else. Well, now that we have gone e-everything, there’s no need ...

If you are putting up a different identity than who you really are on Facebook, you may be jailed, especially if you call yourself Lee Kuan Yew or derivatives of that name - in the Singapore context, that is. I remembered that I actually joined Facebook as far back as 2005, when it was still ...

Damn. I’m in the midst of fixing it now. Will be right back soon.

Visitors to produce IC for petrol (and perhaps food and road side stalls in the future?) in Malaysia
Soon, you’d need to present your IC to purchase fuel in Malaysia - that’s only if you are Malaysian and you want to enjoy subsidies. This, in theory, should clamp down on all purchases of petrol by visitors to the country, in particular Singaporeans and Thai; because they are apparently sucking up all the fuel ...

At first read, I was wondering why the couple mentioned in the article were charged for sedition and undesired publications. If what was said in the news was true, then there’s no reason to charge the couple - unless giving evangelistic materials to someone of another religion is an offence. Then again… who gives evangelistic ...

Or so thinks Mr Syu who wrote to the Straits Times forum on 23rd February 2008. Amidst all the talk about a "suffering" middle class in Singapore, the writer brought to the attention of many readers on why he thought that the Singapore middle class, is really not that poor after all. He backed his ...

Even a (sometimes) insightful blog needs to inject some humour to keep things going, no? It’s the mid-week and I thought it’d be nice to get some people laughing off their chairs - and I hope you are not rocking on it; you might just fall back… and you know? *morbid* Here’s a good laugh ...

The Malaysia Health Minister has quit amidst a sex scandal in which he was the lead. This, however, is unlike any recent scandals where the video recording were intentionally taped. For Health Minister Chua Soi Lek, he was probably just a victim of others who were out to smear his good name. While it was ...

I guess this is a pretty good warning to speculators in the stock market because anything can really go wrong in the last minute. There was so much hope and all, but at the end of the day, not only did they not get their quick buck, they would have lost quite a fair bit ...

… and this is not a lancerlord post (for readers who are familiar with ping.sg). =P If you don’t know why I said so, you should take a look here.Looking back at the chain of events that happened before the price hike, I felt that it is all a consequence of Singaporean’s mentality - that ...

The authors at Simply Jean made a couple of oversights in the blog posts that were being made public over the past 2 weeks. In part 1 of a 2 part series, we will address the first oversight - which was the post on Myanmar’s cyclone situation, where Myanmar’s effort was compared against China’s in ...

I seriously doubt I have readers that will do this for Simply Jean, but Simply Jean had been nominated and is one of the Top 10 Finalist running for the most insightful blog award. We are quite bad at pulling for votes, but we do hope that you’d cast a vote for us. Moreover, we ...

Yeah… there isn’t a typo here - man is "man" with a small "m" and not a big "M" which generally refers to mankind (meaning men and women and all). Why do I say so, gee… I guess the screen shot tells a thousand words.

Apparently, taxi drivers are earning the big bucks now. Since the fare hike in December, taxi drivers are raking in daily earnings of $318. It was not mentioned if that’s before paying for rental, but I’d presume so. Assuming a typical rental rate of about $96, a full diesel tank of about $40 and miscellaneous ...
