Yes, I find myself yet again, in another unique position of having both the Starhub MaxMobile service as well as the M1 Broadband service running from the same computer. Not at the same time of course, since the active connection can only come from either source. However, because my laptop has an internal SIM card ...

It’s either it’s been such a hush-hush… or people just don’t seem to bother anyway. After all, the raise in fuel prices is beyond any consumer’s control. For all we know, it might jolly well cost a few dollars more the next day! Indeed, it’s beginning to be so expensive to drive a car nowadays ...

Got this error this morning while loading straitstimes.com - is it another overloading of the website? Or has it got anything to do with my browser? The perils of using Internet nowadays - I don’t know if there’s a problem with the site or if my computer has been infected with another unidentified virus/trojan/horsey/whatever.

After the COI findings were announced, the big question still lingers in everyone’s mind - where is Mas Selamat? Doesn’t matter (actually in a certain sense it does, but let’s all assume that it doesn’t) how he managed to find all the loopholes to get out. What’s more important is… is he receiving help from ...

Fruits can make good medicine at times, but it can also make good poison - sometimes unintentionally. A few people have been reportedly dying from eating star fruits - they mystery of which was solved soon. You see, star fruits contain a kind of neurotoxin that is harmful to the body. For most people, this ...

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". Going by any other standards, ...

Yes, despite all the brouhaha, despite all the threats to ever stop taking taxis in their whole lives, Singaporeans have succumbed to the fare hikes of the cabs and have resumed taking taxis as their daily means of transport. I suspected something was wrong when many taxi drivers where choosing locations when a group us ...

After the COI findings were released, many people (at least from the straitstimes.com online forums and various forums) including Mr Low Thia Khiang felt or hinted that DPM Wong, as the Home Affairs Minister, should resign to take responsibility for the escape of Mas Selamat. Personally, I feel that DPM Wong should not resign just ...

This post gives a prelude on my perspective (and a highlight in Parliament where Mr Low Thia Khiang seemed to have self-pwn’d) on the recent brouhaha on whether our Deputy Prime Minister-cum-Home Affairs Minister should quit. Strangely enough, no one seem to like to read the "Perspective" section in this blog - if the number ...

It was brought to our attention on the post by iantimothy on ian.onthereddot.com with regards to the post titled "What DK, Simplyjean & Cobalt Paladin Tell Us About Ping.sg". In particular, we find a statement in his post misleading. The paragraph, reproduced without prejudice is as follows: Yesterday I met up with Ridz at the ...

The Singapore Government is monitoring the rice situation closely and is assuring everyone that the rice shortage situation is under control. In fact, they even assured that all the rice importers are behaving well and not doing any hanky panky under the guise of inflating costs. However, a lot of people are complaining that rice ...

So what really happened? Well, the sequence of events are all here, in pictorial form. But because there are 7 image files (which is good for non-flash installed browsers and not huge too) and I don’t think everyone wants to load this post every time they come here, you’d have to click below to continue ...

I seriously do not mean to belittle the entire situation, the entire explanation nor the entire episode that happened in February. In a certain sense, the way the whole thing was explained …

Yup, here’s the picture. In all of it’s full glory! =P Picture: The inside of the toilet     L-R: The stuffs that lead to Mas Selamat’s escape Hmn… strange that detention centers have no grills on their toilet windows? They are probably assuming that "even if you can climb out of the window, there’s no way you ...

In what seems to be the closing of a month-long investigation into the escape of Mas Selamat from the Whitley Detention Center, the Committee of Inquiry has released a report detailing the escape of Mas. However, do to the highly sensitive nature of the report, only a short executive summary is available. A ministerial statement ...

Below is the executive summary of Mas Selamat’s planned escape, fresh from the oven: Executive Summary1. The Committee of Inquiry (“COI”) completed its inquiry into the escape of Mas Selamat bin Kastari (“Mas Selamat”) from Whitley Road Detention Centre (“WRDC”) on Wednesday, 27 Feb 2008. The COI submitted its report to the Minister …

Of late not only is the Hand Foot Mouth Disease starting to pick up, but computer viruses are beginning to adapt the recent behavior of their distant cousins. Yes, apparently, the viruses in my laptop are having one helluva time propagating and cross-infecting and are so promiscuous that the same behavior will wipe out the ...

If the article in the Straits Times is anything to go by, I am a complain queen. Apparently, Singaporeans like to complain, but just amongst themselves and not to the organization involved. This was shown to be true by a survey done earlier. Simply Jean, however, does carry out her words when the service level ...

I think I ripped the header off some forum somewhere - not intentionally, but I’d figured that someone would have done something like this before. Well, you see, Straits Times is trying something like this - searching and listing out all the cheap $2 per bowl food. I’m not sure if the quality is good, ...
