I had been taken for a ride over the weekend. I am not sure if the other person thinks that it is a good joke or prank, but I am definitely suffering the repercussions of his joke. I am not sure why he would want to continue this game, but I just found out that ...

Yes, a friend and myself were there when the protest took place. It was quite an eye opener considering that none of us have ever seen a real life demonstration - at least not in spanking clean Singapore. There were actually a few distinct groups of people - the elderly ladies, the *ahem* rainbow people ...

Back in the old days not too long ago, people were commenting how the liberalization of diesel-vehicles would be a good alternative to petrol-powered cars given that diesel engines are way more advanced than yesteryears and that it is not as pollutive as it used to be.

Apparently the Casinos here will be the first places in Singapore to break the "No Smoking in Buildings" law. Legally. If everything goes through, this means that NEA will give the Casinos the permission to have smoking areas in its premises - and we are not talking about "smoking rooms".
