Four days ago, someone posted a teaser on Sammyboy Forum that he/she/it had access to nude pictures of a local FHM model, Adeline. A few days later, a link to the unprotected photo gallery was provided. This post comes after all of that, but it's just as well, I guess. I don't want to be accused of sending people to look at private naked pics. That's right, they're private. …
The escape of Jemaah Islamiah leader, Mas Selamat Kestari, from a detention centre has been in the headlines for the past week. Not a day goes by without some new developments about the search or additional security measures or terrorism in general. But no one has mentioned the elephant in the room: whose heads will roll? Let's see, there are the detention centre's guards who …
I met up with a few folks from Ping.sg at De Coder's Cafe at Balmoral Plaza. Though I arrived half an hour late, I found only four other people there: Uzyn, Sekling, Tianrong and Chillycraps. Singapore time never ceases to amaze me! We started with Blokus, where the other three teams (Uzyn and Sekling teamed up) started attacking one another from the start. Which left me …
It's not everyday that I get to see a prostitute on the bus, let alone be in the (strategic) location to have a good view of her (back). It's not like I planned it. I happened to find an empty seat next to the exit door. And she happened to stand right in front of the same door. And I happened to have a camera phone.It's probably not clear from the pictures, but she was …
Here's something you don't see everyday. Folks in Tampines probably want to keep an eye or ear out for the event. And I suspect the organiser will need to change his mobile number soon. Wow, and I thought things like this were kept out of the public eye.SEX ORGY PARTY EVENTEvent Date : 7th Sept 2007 ( friday ) 8pm SharpEvent Duration : till 8th Sept 2007 ( Saturday ) 12noon …
(Click to view the full-sized image in Facebook.) Visit the "Save the 7th Storey Hotel" Facebook group. I just couldn't resist taking a dig at the Land Transport Authority and its hare-brained decision to destroy the New 7th Storey Hotel. Its rationale is that it needs the space to build the entrances to the new station. And the ground is made of marine clay, so the …
According to Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng, the results of the investigation into Mas Selamat's escape will lack certain portions that are deemed to be classified. But the Committee of Inquiry will still release a full account of how the terrorist escaped. Hmm, let's see, according to the definition of "full" on Dictionary.com:fulladjective2. complete; entire; …
All this talk about a so-called "DK effect" on Ping.sg's leaderboard is useless without figures. Since no one has bothered to do it, I've compiled the Pingsters who ponged the top 10 entries in the last 24 hours as of 22 April 10:55pm:PongTotal% of TotalCumulative …
Since when did McDonald's start automatically upsizing its meals? There I was, at the Bugis Junction outlet, ordering my lunch. I had in my hand exactly enough coins so that I wouldn't need any coins back. I placed my order, the cashier rang it up...And the bill was 50 cents more!I quickly pointed out the discrepancy. The cashier, Shafiyah, who was dressed in a supervisor's …
It's been nearly a month since some folks discussed how bloggers are invited to corporate events. I've thought about this for a long time, but had not found the right thing to say. But as Preetam would tell everyone and Nadia seems to imply, nothing's happened unless I started some kind of controversy. So here goes. Firstly, a chronological background of what this "debate" …
Over Chinese New Year, I had the opportunity to try out Samsung's SGH-D980. It's a dual SIM (i.e. it can accommodate two SIM cards without the need to swap between them), touchscreen handphone with a five-megapixel camera and handwriting recognition. Unfortunately, after two weeks of using it, I felt underwhelmed by it. Read my review at Mocca's "Techie Monster" tribe, "The …
While at the Samsung Store today, I had a chance to try out the camera capabilities of the company's flagship camera phones. While the Omnia had been marketed as a iPhone alternative, the Innov8 and Pixon were promoted through their eight-megapixel cameras. So it was time to put the hype to the test. As usual, I measured against my benchmark Sony Ericsson K800i. (Note: no …
It was time for another Social Media Breakfast (or Brunch, really) and, to tie in with the festive period, it was a year-end party. It was held at the Samsung Store at Vivocity. I had thought that the area would be too small to accommodate everyone, but it turned out to be just nice. Perhaps it's because the turn-out wasn't as large as at the previous Social Media Breakfast …
For a long time, I've been resisting the urge to upgrade my Apple TV to version 2.4 of the firmware. That's because I watch videos that don't necessarily come through iTunes. As such, anything that removes the hacks that I've already applied would be very unwelcome. But as luck would have it, after accidentally pressing the "Update Now" button, I was forced to re-hack my …
So it's come true. Apple has released its much-awaited, second generation iPhone, the iPhone 3G. And it'll be launching it in 22 countries on July 11. Except that Singapore won't be one of those 22. Ah well, I guess Singapore's six-million population isn't a big enough market for a worldwide simultaneous launch. But fret not! SingTel has promised to release it "later this …
On Sunday, the headlines of the local English daily, The Straits Times (ST), was about a change in the off-peak car (OPC) scheme. This was something that was really big news given the government's obsession with reducing vehicle ownership and traffic congestion in land-scarce Singapore. The changes in the scheme promised to make it even more attractive and cheaper for drivers …
In the past week, two pieces of news couldn't have come at a more unfortunate time nor with such a tremendous impact. Firstly, SingTel announced that it will start selling the Apple iPhone on August 22. This piece of news came when the telecommunication conglomerate announced its quarterly earnings on Tuesday, 12 August. It was definitely well received by the hordes of iPhone …
There are three reasons why I would really like to watch the newest local movie by MediaCorp. In no particular order, they are: It's a love story, and I am such a sucker for them. It's made in Singapore. Support local! Li Lin. (Hmm, looks like she's dropped the "Wong" side of her family?) The trailer has been running quite often recently. Well, I suppose that's no surprise …
I had just gotten off the bus and was walking to the pedestrian bridge. In front of me was a woman in normal female office wear: blouse and knee-length black skirt. Next to the bridge was a construction site, with some workers hanging around (break time?). As the woman approached the stairs up the bridge, I saw some movement among the workers. One of them, with long hair, …
There is supposed to be a belief that, on February 29th, if a girl propositions a boy, then the boy must accept her offer. I've lived through my fair share of leap days and had never heard of this legend till I watched this movie, "The Leap Years". Nonetheless, it made for a good premise. There were few faults I could find with the plot: boy and girl agree to meet every four …
