Vote for the Worst says he looks more and more sexually ambiguous. I agree! If I didn’t know who this American Idol runner up was, I’d think he was a ’she’.

I got this in the mail the other day:
It’s the Singapore Police Service (used to be called Singapore Police FORCE, but I guess our country’s police got soft. No wonder a high profile terrorist could escape our ‘detention’ centre and still not be found yet.) Long Service and Good Conduct Award.
You’d think they would at least have a small ceremony or get a senior officer from my unit to hand it to me (and to the other guys who also got this medal) personally with a congratulatory word or two, but NOOOOO …..
They bloody shoved it in an A4 sized envelope, along with a letter with a COMPUTER-GENERATED SIGNATURE and freaking MAILED it to me!
So this is the thanks I get for serving my country? A useless medal, mailed to me along with a few hundred dollars ‘token’ money which I will receive when I ‘retire’ from National Service in 6 years’ time? Forget about the tax rebates and the swanky NS clubhouses which I hardly go to. You can keep it, Mr. Gahmen!
Baaahhh!!
This is my favourite and in my opinion, the best chilli sauce in the world! Lingham’s Chilli Sauce. It’s like the Tabasco sauce of the Asian condiment range.
Some interesting facts about the company that manufactures this chilli sauce:
One of the company’s aims is to
“offer the world and share with them our range of unique and quality chilli sauces. We want the world to know that not all chilli sauces are the same. We want the world to discover the difference. After 99 years, we’ve gotta be second to none.”
I couldn’t agree more! I love this stuff!
Succulent, tender, oven-roasted whole chicken, fresh from the oven, dripping with juices so mouth-watering and sweet. Hungry yet?
It is the typical Singaporean thing to dine at a road-side cafe that a found all over the island in such places as Geylang, Siglap, Bedok, Kembangan and of course, Bukit Timah, just to name a few. We went to Al-Ameen at Cheong Chin Nam Road in Bukit Timah, a place we haven’t been to in years. We actually wanted to check out the Halal Foods Expo at the Singapore Expo, but the horrid evening rush-hour traffic, causing massive jams everywhere caused us to divert our journey and we ended up at Bukit Timah instead. By the time we reached the place, we were famished.
We both had the famous ‘Milo Dinosaur’ but they forgot the all-important cherry!
While waiting for our food to arrive, we laughed at the grammatical errors on the cafe’s signboard, one of which had a picture of beef steak with the words ‘bisteak’ below it. The place was quite busy, as usual, but our food arrived within 10 minutes, consisting of rice with mixed vegetables and fried eggs,
sambal prawns,
and grilled stingray, which, I must add, was a tad disappointing because it was practically drowning in sambal sauce. Still tasted pretty good, but we’ve had better.
It was quite a big meal for two of us, but at $39, it wasn’t exactly hawker-food prices. A little too steep, I must say, but it was nice to go back to our old food haunt. The area hasn’t changed much in the years since we’ve last been there. Some things are better left untouched and unchanged. Sadly though, according to other people I know the standard of food at Al-Ameen has dropped. They’ve even closed their Tampines outlet the last we checked.
To celebrate the 120th anniversary of the famous Parisian landmark, the Eiffel Tower will have a new observation deck made of kevlar webbing. The temporary observation deck will be the most ambitious temporary modification projects ever undertaken.

Ad from a Brazillian ad agency reminding us that the big guy "has a memory of an elephant, but his remembrances are no good. Keep animals away from the circus."
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there are only two places people should see animals - in the wild or at the zoo.
Say no to circuses featuring animal performances!

A young woman on an American Airlines flight home after spring break, sitting in an unoccupied row, fell asleep and when she woke up, found semen in her hair and a man masturbating next to her. Euwwww!!

Not an ad for Crocs, but Jennie Garth, from Beverly Hills 90210, and her family look a little plasticky in this photo for Redbook, don’t you think? Dad’s not looking too thrilled either.

Most kids aspire to be like their parents. Not such a good idea when your mommy’s a pole dancer.

A collection of photographs of Americans and their guns.
One such owner, Dan says: "I consider the ownership of arms not only a right, but the duty of a free people to themselves and future generations."
For someone who only gets to play with guns once a year for a few days in camp, a gun-owning American’s passion for his weapon is kind of hard to understand.

Totally geek-worthy, these Swarovski USB crystal engagement rings are really useful. A bit too chunky for the wedding, but if you’re into gadgets and stuff, who cares?

This reminds me of the TV ads for the Singapore Prison Service. Just because a person has a tattoo, looks suspicious or has a limp, doesn’t mean he’s dangerous.

Some people think Windows Vista is crap. Other people just use the toilet paper.

Downright cute! Or bordering on animal abuse?
I think it’s cute in a weird kind of way.
