    The Grooms Toast

    Avoid pet names
    This especially applies when you’re mentioning your other half (the better half, probably). Avoid saying something like ‘ to my darling ham cheem pang, I love you’. She may like it when you’re cuddling her and whispering it into her ears. But when you announce it to the rest of the world, it’s [...]


    Can’t Get A GF? Move to HK!

    While in 1981 for every 1,087 men there were only 1,000 women, the situation has reversed – now there are only 929 men for every 1,000 women.
    According to Simon, there are now insufficient men for women to satisfy themselves with in Hong Kong. So if you’re still single in Singapore, and can do the math [...]


    Mine Eyes Have Gone Blind

    English Language Blog Adapted from Sister FuRong JieJie Chinese Blog. Links to Chinese Entries Sometimes Available By Scroll Down to Bottom. Beginning early this year on the Qinghua and Beijing University BBS, a girl named ‘Frjj‘ (Furong Jiejie) began to upload her photos. Accompanying each photo was a brief diary entry.

    Kenny on Bloggers.SG 2005

    As our guest from Malaysia, Kenny Sia had a backstage pass to the entire event – which he recaps in an interesting read here.


    Cowboy Bar 2.0

    The infamous Cowboy Bar has moved here, and is now powered by Vanilla, a lightweight forums software that looks and feels like the original Google groups we used to use. It is now undergoing evaluation by the Barflies for the next 2 weeks.
    If you are bored in the office, and are above 18 years of [...]

    Along With That Caffeine Rush, a Taste of Seattle
    It looks like a Starbucks. It smells and tastes like one too. Settle into one of the comfortable Starbucks-like armchairs and it certainly feels like the real thing.

    You Really Want To Be Like Anonymous?

    invisiblog.com lets you publish a weblog using GPG and the Mixmaster anonymous remailer network. You don’t ever have to reveal your identity – not even to us. You don’t have to trust us, because we’ll never know who you are.
    I know many of you envy me because I’m beautiful anonymous. But if you really [...]


    Sometimes Even I Can Soar

    (photo taken at Lomo party, Velvet on 27/7/2005 with mrbrown’s amazing kamerha)
    I really suck at taking photos. It must have something to do with the way my mind works. Usually, I try to capture the moment, which is to say I want to cram as much as possible into one picture. Obviously that’s a terrible [...]


    Party From The Hip

    this photo is mb take with his phone one
    Last night’s Lomo party at Velvet was a blast. Cool heineken metal bottles (somehow it tastes different), beautiful people (why were are the guys not mingling with the gals?) and lots of shot-from-the-hip lomography photos on display. Daryl and I were overdressed in our striped shirts fresh [...]


    Some Jokes Are Just Not Funny

    A colleague of mine was telling us through gnashed teeth over a wonton noodle lunch about the divine wisdom of ye eldritch gods. Apparently her dept lost their head a year ago. Since then they’ve been surviving without a head but have been losing their admin staff on a regular basis. Their workload has increased, [...]


    Education And Blogs

    Lately I’ve been receiving mail from people who tell me that they are lecturers, teachers and instructors. This comes as a surprise as I’ve always thought that my blog would be perceived as a menace to supple young minds. Turns out that they are interested in harnessing the power of the blog to connect with [...]


    So That’s Why I Keep Hearing Your Shite

    It’s confirmed. Sony has been caught paying off radio stations to pimp artistes like J-Lo, Audioslave and Franz Ferdinand(?). No wonder I don’t bother listening to radio anymore and focus solely on music blogs for my ipod. The intarweb must be the best thing to happen to the music scene since napster(sic).
    I mean, the [...]


    Solly, The Spelling Machine’s Bloken

    Hafiz went with his family to Johor Bahru for the weekend and had a spot of shopping at Giant Hypermart where they discover that the English Language was being reinvented in all sorts of wacky and amusing ways. There’s even a flickr set of photos for your enjoyment. [...]


    The Meme That’s Like Gayyy

    Littlemissdrinkalot has tagged me with a shoe meme. A shoe meme? How utterly gay is that? Shoes, are for fops who prance around admiring their feet whilst ignoring the wonders of the world above. This is a woman meme, not a guy meme.
    Total number of shoes you own:

    Black patent leather shoes for work
    Brown sailing shoes [...]


    Nice Photos, Dude

    This local blog has really nice urbanish photos. I like.


    Yoof Of Singapore, Get Some Eddication

    25. That Singapore should try to be the Peanut Hub. Based on the Singapore peanut exchange rate, 1 peanut = S$600,000.
    So the $400,000 rebranding exercise for Marina Bay (part of this project resulted in Marina Bay to be renamed… Marina Bay), it only cost 2/3 of a peanut.
    From now one, ministers’ salaries will also be [...]


    Never Trust An Anonymous Source

    A certain anonymous sent me an email containing a picture of an apparently “very very famous” blogger.
    I’m not sure if this is a joke or something. That anonymous could have randomly taken the picture off the Internet and proclaim the one in the picture to be a “very very famous” blogger. Kaoz!
    I woke up [...]

    Chinese Weddings

    My gf is mad at me, because despite all my intarweb skillz, I am unable to gleam any information about chinese weddings. Just yesterday, I made a horrible faux pas because the concept of ‘giving tables to the brides family’ was simply beyond my banana comprehension.
    The websites I found on Google are either obscure, written [...]


    All Your Buns Are Belong To Zeus

    The heavenly pose known as “The Reverse Bodhisavatta”
    Makanguru, the ayatollah of the Cowboy Bar is back, and he’s got an excellent photo of Bunny Steele Linda Chia taken at Bloggers.SG
    I didn’t even know the dude knew how to operate a digicam (cars & food are more his thing). I’m not too sure [...]


    Another Jap Game That Destroys Your Life

    From time to time, I click on links lead to flash games of my own free will. I’m not a big fan of games. People who play games, don’t have as much time for sex. So when I found this silly japanese game, I spent like nearly 2 hours playing it because it’s like droogs.
    The [...]


    Blogging Styles

    image from African Safari Journals
    Everybody has a different style of blogging. It’s not easy to blog in another voice. The feeling is just strange, as La Idler told me over a spectacular cup of drugs at Tiki Coffee after lunch today. And she’s trying to blog in different styles – “for fun only lah” says [...]

    According to the job predictor, my ideal job is as a Kids TV Presenter. What the heow?
    Zeus thinks this is bullshit. So does Faith, whom I got this link from.


    Our aim to have more watermelons

    Earlier in the evening, China abandoned its decade-old peg against the dollar and revalued the yuan by 2.1%, switching to a managed float based on a basket of foreign currencies.
    Within the hour, Bank Negara Malaysia also announced that the ringgit’s RM3.80 peg against the U.S. dollar imposed in Sept 1, 1998 has been scrapped with [...]

    It Is The Will Of Mighty Zeus That You Start A Blog

    Last night, the Barflies opened up a MSN group chat session that was hilarious (bigfuck’s mother, breasts, sex, barffie’s housewarming orgy and sandralicious sharing her private sexxxy photos). Whilst we were chatting, some chick added me to her msn list. After I accepted her request, she immediately messaged me asking me who I was. Strange [...]


    Bloggers.SG 2005 Photos Are Up!

    Get that man a Tiger!
    The official photos of Bloggers.SG 2005 are up! I’ve just finished writing and have posted it. There is a little spot-the-blogger game to play and everybody is invited to contribute their own photos as trackbacks.

    Bittersweet Bloggers.SG

    Bloggers.SG 2005 was a bittersweet event for me.
    I watched the event from above in a dark corner, alone by myself, far away from the eyes of bloggers and reporters. As the convention began, I read the hilarious messages on the IRC channel posted by the Barflies on the LCD displays mounted on the walls. [...]


    Victoria’s Secret In China

    Screw this mysterious blogger shite. You want to solve a mystery? Why not tackle Victoria’s Secret in China? I’m not sure what the answer is because I’ve already forgotten the question.


    Digital Life Rawks!

    Today’s edition of Digital Life in the Straits Times has a super special segment on Bloggers Unmasked. They interviewed bloggers like mailorderbride, Threez Frame, Adrianloo, Dominic Soon, Aiyah, SPG, Barffie, Sassyjan, Bigfuck, Kennysia, and cover bloggers on NKF. I think they did a fantastic job writing up this story. Certainly much much better then the [...]


    Gay Activities I Have Been Doing All Day

    Instead of working today, I decided to do the following because I was having the post-Bloggers.SG blues.

    Went to each and every blog that blogged about attending Bloggers.SG and read it before posting a thank-you-for-coming comment. It was the least I could do.
    Created a post on Tomorrow.sg asking people to help out with the creation of [...]


    Conditions For A Visitation

    I went home and had dinner on Sunday night with my parents.
    Dad told me that on the 21st day since the passing of my grandmother, he was sitting in the study room surfing the net reading about Islam (his new best friend is a Chinese-Muslim convert and now his latest hobby is learning more [...]


    The Sunday Times on Bloggers.SG 2005

    Hello if you visited me by typing in the URL from the story in the ST.
    For the record, I would like state that the Bloggers.SG was not one big yawn. Perhaps you have to be a blogger to appreciate it? I’m not sure what Jeremy Au Yong or Shawn Woo were expecting – Mardi Gras [...]

    We [...]


    A Little Ringgit Goes A Long Long Way

    Supergolfie and his wife were introduced to me by James at The Long Bar, Raffles Hotel sometime last month. Little did I know that the dude had a blog! Oh that sly devil has started blogging. And I must say, he’s not that bad either.
    Sometimes I find myself asking what’s our perception of “value” in [...]


    The NKF Effect

    My favourite newpaper, The New Paper has been trying to pretend to be a ‘blog’ for the past couple of months without any luck, but has finally struck gold with the recent NKF hoo-haa.
    Their Electric Blog page shows that the ‘blog post’ on NKF has 135 comments!!!
    The next most popular post only has 7 comments.
    Looks [...]


    Welcome To The Hall Of Infamy

    The language is coarse, and the content is politically incorrect and very unsuitable for the young (which is why I took so long to decide whether to post this), but this Ah Beng blogger and his eloquent rant on the NKF incident, obviously struck a chord with Singaporeans. Judging from the comments left in his [...]

    Almost Daily Funny Like Hell part 19

    The Beevnicks is one rare comic that got me hooked from page one and dragged me into a time blackhole as I could not help reading every single strip from beginning to end. The art is strangely 1950 Americana. Nudity and adult jokes are rampant. The father is a wuss who can’t get any sex [...]
