On making a statement

I was at the Esplanade Waterfront area on March 27th at Earth Hour. I took my dSLR out for a spin (without a tripod- shame on me). There were many people at the same place, and there was even a concert going on. I looked around me and I can’t help but wonder the extent…

Jack Neo and his Casting Couch

I’m so inundated with news about Jack Neo the philanderer that I have to voice my stand. Of course, I do not approve of what he did. My mum is of the opinion that since it takes two to clap, the girl(s) have to be equally responsible as well, and she/they (since it’s unclear how…

I am a trash-talker

That’s right, no better way to put it. I can trash-talk about anyone and anything, based on little or no facts. So some of you may know I have some perennial trash-talk targets. Usually these are people who deserve it. So there’s this particular one that keeps coming up every now and then with some…

If entertainment mimics life…

why is it that when we see something funny on TV we laugh but when we see it in real life we reject it? Like slapstick comedy – I don’t watch them because I don’t laugh when I see people fall on the streets. So why is it still a popular type of entertainment? Why…

Unfunny Oxymoron

I don’t know about you, I can’t laugh at this oxymoron below: 80 easy steps? Am I supposed to look at it and go, “wow I didn’t know you can do it under 100 steps!” Seriously, gee. Ok so I checked out the website, and well, I suppose the writer meant it to be funny….

Double Standards

A friend’s post got me thinking – we live in a world of double standards, but ought we be ashamed of it? It’s a world where it’s funny if your friend’s son is gay, but preposterous if your own daughter is. It’s a world where angmohs get priority service and locals get non-service. It’s a…

Chinese Filial Piety

I finally for the life of me understand what Chinese filial piety entails. It’s not just being nice to your parents and getting married and having descendents for your family. It’s about creating the most pomp when sending your deceased parents and relatives to hell. Oh come on, as honourable the dead might have been…

HDB hazard

I came home to find this at my lobby: A chunk of the wall broke and fell onto the floor at the lift lobby, where my mum sometimes sit and chat with other residents. Close up of the debris: Those are big chunks of cement that fell that can be potential fatal. My flat is…

Does god exist?

Does God exist? I cannot help but have to blog about this. I initially scoffed the video and just pushed it aside, but I have seen too many people use this as some sort of evidence for god as though the words of one of the greatest scientists from our time is going to make…

Live On

There has been a series of different advertisements on local TV for a campaign by the health ministry called “Live On”. (For more information, visit this site) These series of advertisements tell the stories of fictitious patients who have benefitted from organ donation and hence have been able to live on. What is my view…
